Tacofino in Yaletown is the latest addition to a family business that began with the original Tacofino food truck in Tofino and has since grown to encompass three food trucks and four brick-and-mortar restaurants (including Tacofino Gastown), all of which offer menu items featuring products that are Ocean Wise-approved, antibiotic- and hormone-free and raised ethically.
For the new Yaletown location, the design team wanted to conjour up images of urban oceanside hotspots like Venice Beach, with a retro 80’s vibe.
“…when it came to Yaletown, we wanted to summon up a totally different, bright and sunny city-type beach scene yet still pay homage to the West Coast spirit that helped to initially inspire the birth of the Tacofino brand” – Shiloh Sukkau, Designer, Tacofino
