Not sure why this place doesn’t have higher reviews. It’s absolutely amazing. The food is so great. Can’t find better tacos in the city.

I had an unfortunate experience with this restaurant today. I placed a large take out order for pickup, and since it was a large order (dinner for 8), I figured I'd give them extra time, and I placed the order several hours in advance with a scheduled pickup time at 6:15 pm. It seems they didn't notice that the order was for pickup later, as when I got there, the order was completely cold and wilted. The quacamole had turned brown. The 'crispy' tacos were not crisp, and had not even a hint of warmth left. I'm quite certain the food had been sitting there for at least an hour or two before I picked it up. When I called to complain, I was told that it was made fresh just before pickup, but that's just not possible given how badly the food had cooled and wilted. I have always enjoyed tacofino, but this experience has completely soured me on this location. Do not order in advance for scheduled pickup, they do not respect the scheduled time. When I called, the manager was apologetic and did offer to remake the order, but I would have had to wait and go back to pick it up again, and I had a house full of hungry guests. It was an incredibly disappointing meal, especially as it cost $250.00. Never again for me, and be warned that they will not follow instructions to delay an order for later pickup, even though their ordering site allows you to schedule for later.

Based on a colleague’s recommendation, I had to try the fish taco. I was not disappointed. Definitely recommend. Next time I will also try the cauliflower taco, as it is also recommended.

The quality of the food has gone way down. My family used to love coming to tacofino as a treat for many years, but the last couple of visits left us wondering if the fact that they opened so many locations have affected the quality and integrity of their food. Sadly we will no longer be returning.

This is not my favourite taco place. The food was barely warm, which is surprising since it was not busy and we ate in the restaurant. The kids' cheese quesadilla was gross. I wouldn't recommend.

We chose Tacofino for a group take-out/pick-up lunch and everything turned out great! Every person's order was bagged separately with their names written on it. So convenient and so reassuring! Of course the food is always great. Tacofino is a place where the staff really care and it shows.

Two of us shared the cauliflower burrito and chips with Salsa Fresca. The food is always delicious and we both left full and satisfied. Not too busy and a great atmosphere. Would recommend!
I missed the Gastown branch closing down. This location makes the chicken burrito just as good.

The food here is amazing and the portion sizes are fantastic for the price. They could use some updated furniture—the chairs and tables are small and uncomfortable. But I would definitely return for the excellent food.

Just finished the meal. It was not clear if I was to sit and order or order first at the register. The servers were not clear and wasn’t really welcoming. I had to pay and even tipped thinking they would give full service - which I did not get, and this was before the meal so my amount did not accurately reflect the service.
I went out of my way to come to this location because I really enjoyed it years ago. The tables were sticky, servers did not check in on me other than to take the plates, the washroom was so dark I couldn’t see if I had cilantro stuck in my teeth.
The tacos were good, but the pork taco was quite dry (I had to add tomato from other tacos for it not to get stuck in my throat and teeth). And before, their tuna taco had torched raw tuna but this time, it was all cooked but luckily not to the point of canned tuna. It was disappointing after coming in with high expectations.

The food is always good ... when you get what you ordered. Our last two takeout orders had mistakes in them (this last time was the wrong taco, and I checked the receipt and it was correct).
And tall people need to watch out for the lighting hanging from the ceiling.
