Line Cook

About us: Tacofino began as a food truck in the back of a surf shop in beautiful Tofino, British Columbia. We balanced surfing with creating world-inspired food with the best possible ingredients and serving it with love. We kept the spirit of where we came from alive and have since grown into a unique restaurant brand with locations across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island and continue to grow today.

We are successful because we believe in staying true to where we came from, serving high-quality creative food with the best possible ingredients, adapting to and giving back to the communities we operate in and have teams made up of fantastic individuals.
