Lunch at Tacofino in Vancouver, BC

 

A Surfrider Margarita cocktail from Tacofino Taco Bar in Gastown. 


Before we left Vancouver to go home, we had lunch at Tacofino in Gastown. Tacofino is a local spot in Vancouver with multiple locations. They originally started in the back of a surf shop in Tofino, BC, selling burritos and tacos.

Their cuisine is West Coast inspired and the menu is mostly Mexican cuisine. They have some notable drinks such as the Surfrider Margarita, which I chose. This bright blue drink with a salted rim has Cazadores Blanco, agave, and house made curacao. My husband chose a yummy cocktail- the Apple Cinnamon Margarita. This drink has cinnamon infused Cazadores Blanco, amaretto, apple juice, fresh lime, agave, and apple spice bitters. Both were fantastic drinks! 

To eat, my son chose the Chicken Wings and he raved about them. My husband had the Chicken Tacos, and I chose the Quesa Birria. They had braised lamb, Oaxaca cheese, red onions, and cilantro. These weren't my favorite Birria Tacos, but they did the job. These were a little too salty, and I didn't love the red onions. 

The interior at Tacofino shined. There was lots of seating and the bar area looked beautiful. Our server was sweet and friendly. This is one of Gastown's most notable spots to grab a bite and a cocktail, and now I can see why!
