Sauce was super yum and the overall flavour was killer. Burrito wasn't evenly dispersed, one mouthful of beans, another of cabbage. The wraps were a bit thin and the burrito roll wasn't fully... rolled. The structural integrity wasn't there (see photo). Would expect properly rolled for a 20$ burrito Maybe they had a new person on staff? Staff was super nice, was confused as to why there was like seven people in the back, four customers and it kinda took a while tbh Also.. they yelled out my name, and immediately turned around which was kinda funny, was awkssss Would be back again (probably when I'm fried) read more

Food here is amazing and priced very reasonably for what you get. Fish tacos, crispy chicken burrito and roast chicken burrito are my favourites! Staff are very friendly and provide great service. Restaurant is very clean and has 10ish tables inside and a few outdoor tables! It's a walk up to order style restaurant but they do bring your food out to you. Great spot in downtown Victoria that is worth a try and is open late which is nice if you're looking for a late meal! read more

Tacos that punch way above their casual vibe! Tacofino is a laid-back spot that turns out some serious volume, but don't mistake speed for skimping on quality, they know their flavors. We tried the tuna and steak tacos, and both were outstanding: super fresh ingredients, perfectly pickled toppings, and house-made salsa that's downright addictive. I'm still thinking about the nacho platter we spotted at another table... it looked epic and is definitely on the list for next time. Beyond tacos, Tacofino's menu also has bowls and burritos. This place nails casual dining without sacrificing on quality or taste. Highly recommend for your next taco fix! read more

Tacofino - Dinner! - Mexican Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

First time eating here and I wasn't sure how filling the burritos would be but let me just say, they are definitely a meal in themselves! And man they were good! I got the roast chicken burrito with a fish taco and crispy chicken taco as well. My burrito was insanely delicious! I think my favorite thing about it was the chipotle mayo they used, it complimented the chicken so well! And speaking of chicken, I appreciated that they were cut into fairly small pieces. But between the moist chicken, rice, and beans, the burrito was so much food! I did enjoy the fish tacos, extremely messy though because they use such big pieces the stuff barely fits in the small taco. Also not quite as tasty as the burrito in my opinion. I wasn't a fan of the crispy chicken taco though. The chicken tasted a bit subpar and seemed like it had more crispy skin than actual meat. If I go again I'd just skip the tacos and get a burrito which was plenty of food to fill me up. My burrito was definitely a 5/5 and I'd recommend that for sure! read more

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. read more

Tacofino is great! The food is delicious, and it's in a really convenient location. I love coming here with a few friends for some drinks and sharing some plates together. However, it is an ungodly pricey for what you get. read more

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!!! read more

Tacofino - Huge burritos definitely worth the money - Mexican Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

The flavor was good. Unfortunately my tacos were cold and a little on the too spicy side. My husbands tacos were luke-warm and the chicken was a little over cooked. He did enjoy his experience. Also, I had a Phillips soda, never had one for those before. It was not great. It was actually rather terrible. Which I understand this restaurant does not make the soda, but I was NOT expecting a root beer with cloves in it and other spices. My personal experience wasn't great, but I can see how it could be for others. If I lived here I'd probably give it a second try. But since we don't, I definitely wouldn't try it again whilst traveling. I was actually really bummed about my experience there considering we're only visiting Victoria for a few days. read more

Food was great! Got my food in a reasonable amount of time and the price is appropriate.

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! read more

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. read more

Love this place! Consistently fresh, the ingredients are amazing, and the portion sizes are great. Good quality comfort food. My recommendation: Crispy chicken burrito with ancho sauce on the side!!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Huge burritos and amazing flavor! Love that there are vegan options. Decent prices too for the amount of food.

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. read more

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. read more

It was a surprise that many restaurants were closed on Monday. After a long research, we finally had lunch at Tacofino. We ordered two burritos, one with fish for me and one with crispy chicken for my husband. Once you order and pay at the desk, they serve you at the table. The service is pretty fast, we waited 15 minutes after we ordered. The thing that I loved is that the tortilla is fresh and hand made. The burrito is very big and the flavor was good even though everything overcame a little bit the taste of the fish (maybe it wasn't enough the quantity of the fish because I found it at the end of burrito). My husband enjoyed the burrito he chose. Overall, it was a good burrito because it wasn't heavy like the most you usually eat. read more

Ok Maybe I got a bad batch.... Bean taco was hella bland. Tried the gringa bean. Even worse so bland never going to try a gringa again. Made me understand why they called it the gringa. Only good one GREAT ONE was the yam taco. I couldn't finish the bean taco or gringa they were so boring and lack lustre. Could have just been canned refried beans. Went to counter and ordered another YAM TACO. I was kind of surprised the staff didn't ask why we didn't finish the others. Maybe too busy. I would go back and only order two or three Yam Tacos. My partner said the fish taco was also good. But agreed the bean ones weren't worth finishing. Better calories can come from something that tastes good. Shook I have to give Tacofino less than a 5 star. They need more veggie taco options that taste as good as the Yam. read more

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. read more

Grabbed lunch at Tacofino on the promise of vegetarian offerings, of which there were just two (yam, and bean). We got one of each of the tacos from the counter order checkout and grabbed a seat in the busy restaurant. It definitely has a fast casual feel overall. Food came out shortly and we enjoyed - it was a bit greasy / short order for my liking. Prices were reasonable, and we were in and out. Didn't want to linger, the restaurant didn't feel the cleanest to me. read more

I ordered the Crispy Chicken Taco and Fish Taco (crispy ling cod). They were both delicious but of the two, the crispy chicken was my favourite. It was loaded with chicken, toppings, and flavours. And even with all of the toppings the chicken stayed crispy til the last bite! We also ordered nachos. They were perfectly layered with all the toppings. Would definitely recommend them as well! This location is small and popular so be sure to get there before the lunch rush to get a seat and avoid a long wait. read more

I've been to the original Tacofino in Tofino and seeing that the Victoria Tacofino was my 2nd location to visit, I had high expectations. Baja fish taco (5/5)- large fish pieces fried to a crisp thin-medium breading with fresh vegetable toppings. Pork Gringas (3/5)- juicy and delicious but NOTHING like the original tacofino gringa I had since it lacked the cheesy crust and golden crispness of the outside. read more

Our FAVORITE place to get tacos in Victoria. My go-to is the fish taco, but my wife put me on to the yam taco and it's my new favorite for sure. Plus they have corn tortillas which I prefer. Staff is always kind and friendly, and while you might have to wait for a seat to open up, the food makes it all worth it. Also LOVE the incredible paintings on the wall + the custom overhead counter lighting. Super beautiful and unique. read more

Was close to our hotel so we hopped over for dinner. Wife had a chicken taco and a sweet potato taco. I had a steak burrito. Wife claims the taco taco was the bomb. The steak burrito was very good but on the spicy side. read more

My husband had the steak tacos, he really liked them, said they were really good, must of been, he didn't even offer me a bite! I had two crispy chicken tacos, they were huge! Really crispy but tender on inside. I thought they were burned at first but it was like a black bean sauce I'm glad to say. A sprinkling of cilantro and pickled veggies made for some good tacos. We tried the three salsas; the vinegar one wasn't my favorite, the chipotle good and the habanero was hot but addicting. I would like to have had more of the chipotle, the salsas come in those little plastic cups. Lots of waste there, it would be nice if they put it in a bowl for those eating in. The bathrooms here were remarkably clean, I'm happy to report! Service and servers friendly. read more

It's ok, but it's no OG. We were in BC for 2 weeks and enjoyed traveling all over. While in Tofino we went to the original Tacofino and it's knock-your-socks-off amazing!! Hands down the greatest fish taco of my life. And the liquados...yum! So, while in Victoria I had to have more fish tacos! As other reviewers have said, this place is small - tiny. Only seating for maybe 15 people. I recommend getting it to go and picnicking somewhere, if it's nice. The food was good, don't get me wrong. But it wasn't AS good as in Tofino. If I had this one first, I might have thought it was amazing. But since I had the original first, I was disappointed here. If you can't get to Tofino, then definitely go here. You won't regret it. But if you are going to Tofino, just wait for the real deal. read more

Not good at all. Got steak taco and steak burrito and they were both terrible. The steak was dry and overcooked and as tough as old shoe leather. $42 with two Jarritos pops, which were the best part of the meal unfortunately. Disappointing because I had heard good things. read more

Friend had a seizure, rewarded us with an ambulance and free food. Great experience. Would go again.
