Restaurant Review: Tacofino Recomissary

By Grace Cheung,
Special to the Post

 

Tacofino is known for their fresh Tortilla Chips and Salsa Fresca. The margaritas were spicy enough and those warm tortilla chips will haunt me in my dreams. The Guacamole is a bit extra, but it is worth it. The creaminess of the guacamole with the homemade salsa on fresh tortilla chips are a perfect trifecta.

We ordered the Albacore Tuna: It's a few slices of fresh tuna tossed in soy and sesame oil. Then add the salsa fresca from the chips and some fresh seaweed (aka wakame) and some wasabi mayo. My least favourite part of this is the ginger but that is a personal preference.

A special that's only available on their dinner menu is their Grilled Wagyu Steak Taco. The beef is laced with black garlic mayo and pickled vegetables. The jalapenos are placed along with the lime. If you are feeling brave, add the jalapenos and squeeze some lime juice on top. The spice and citrus work with meat.

Their other fish taco is simply called the Fish Taco. Made with slightly breaded and crispy Pacific Cod, this taco is topped with some shredded cabbage and a light chipotle mayo. It also has salsa fresca. It's a bit messy but well worth the effort.
I didn't save room for dessert but they have a lime curd vaso that I would like to get to know next time I'm there.
