Tacofino

My husband and I absolutely LOVE mexican food and will always try different ones when we travel. We visited Victoria, BC, Canada for a few days and decided to give Tacofino a go. We are sooooo glad we did. We both ordered chicken burritos (with roasted chicken as opposed to fried chicken) with chips and salsa on the side. OMG!! We both believe they were the best burritos we've ever eaten. In addition to beans/rice and chicken Tacofino includes cabbage! An excellent addition that works well with the chiptole mayo. sour cream and salsa. Although it may be small in terms of space, Tacofino is big in terms of taste. I'd highly recommend it.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican tacos, this is not the place. But it provides a different take to the explosion of flavor when you mix meat, tomatoes, vegetables, and sauces.

I particularly liked the tuna taco. Considering the size of the tacos, they are good value at $8-$9 each. I was pleasantly surprised with the nacho - it was huge!

We all enjoyed our food. It was tasty and came in big servings. Considering the price tag in other restaurants, Tacofino is a good place to have a good family meal that provides good value.

Ok, so this spot is worth it.

You might have to wait for your food a little bit.

You might have to stay out in the cold wind while you wait (cue the little violins )

You might have to pay $8 (CDN) for a taco or $15 for a burrito.

But it's legit worth it.

The flavor, the team of cooks in the kitchen have an awesome vibe to them, working hard at creating quality, the chill vibe of people literally crushing burritos, everyone is here for the same reason. This spot HITS THE SPOT!

I had the fish taco, the crispness of the fish, the soft and crispness of the tortilla, the slaw and the sauce - fire

Highly recommend, spend a couple extra bucks and get the burrito - I ate a taco and wish I would have.

Do it for me!!!

A great spot in Victoria that's open past 9pm! The burrito I got was so filling and delicious, would highly recommend the fried chicken burrito. Their cocktails also look super cool and would definitely go again to try one. Service was great, it's the type of place where you order at the desk and grab a number, then sit wherever and wait for the food from there. It's a very casual place with an easygoing ambiance, would highly recommend!

My boyfriend thinks the photos of the burritos are bigger than they are in person but he has an appetite of a 16yr old teenage boy. Burrito was good, we also ordered a steak taco and fish taco. I feel like a bit overpriced for what you get. There's seating indoors or you can order it and pick up at a side window. Worth checking out!

This place is great! I ended up eating here twice during our three-night stay in Victoria. I got two tacos, fish and shrimp. Both were flavorful and fresh with generous fillings. I liked the pickled ginger on the shrimp taco. Both times, I ordered my food to go. Staff was very friendly and my order was ready quickly. I like that they have a pickup window for to-go orders, it means you can chill outside while you wait for your food without being in the way. I definitely recommend this spot.

When in Victoria, Tacofino is a MUST! We have been here so many times now and we've had an amazing time at this taco joint! We've tried the yam taco, fish taco and beans tacos. They're all delicious. The fish burrito is hands down my favourite; it's bursting with delightful flavors and perfectly cooked fish. However, do keep in mind that there might be some line-ups, but trust me, the taste is worth every minute of waiting! The service was great; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire dining experience enjoyable. They have a great ambiance, I enjoy watching the chefs put together our foods. The hostess will bring your food to your table. They have gender neutral restrooms as well. I love their arts on the wall. It's creative and fun! I'll definitely be returning for more delicious tacos and burritos. Highly recommend giving it a try!

This was recommended by a colleague. The time I went there was a long line outside. There's not enough space inside while you wait to order. Once you had your pick, you can sit inside or the patio outside. The serving is good sized. I ordered a beef burrito. It ok. Nothing out of the ordinary. Service is also just ok. Ambiance is ok. I'll probably need to give this place another try.

Interesting a tasty tacos. Could eat there multiple
times a day. Great service!! Cool outdoor seating.

I've never been blown away by a burrito before but geeeezzzzz, now I know what the hype is about.

There were so many choices, so I asked the cashier what they are know for and she pointed out the crispy chicken burrito and the fish tacos. Okay, very typical recommendations.

With my first bite into the crispy chicken burrito, it all made sense. The chicken wasn't the usual fried chicken strips, but actual chicken. They must have done something to the skin because it was basically crackling. The textures were amazing and flavors were a close second. Also, every single bite was perfect. I always find my last bite of burrito to be all dry wrap or soggy with all the sauces. Not this one. Perfect To The Last Bite.

The fish tacos were so good also. The breading was the right texture against the fish which was cooked perfectly. Great bright flavors that stood on it's own merit. Loved that it wasn't doused in a puddle of sauces.

Well worth the hype.

I wish this place was closer to home, but on a recent stop in Victoria we came upon this place for a quick lunch. Ordering at the counter was pretty quick and easy and we got our food pretty fast. I shared the chicken nachos and the portion size was massive. It was able to feed four of us with leftovers. The chicken was seasoned and cooked well and added a great touch to the nachos. Definitely a must try if you are in the area.
