Late Tacos at Tacofino Uptown

The cult Tofino orange-truck taco joint landed on Johnston Road, and the crunchy chicken burrito is genuinely worth the trip.

Tacofino began as an orange truck in Tofino and eventually made its way to Johnston Road in uptown White Rock, which is the kind of origin story that makes the food taste better before you've even ordered. The outpost here is small, funky and aggressively casual, the exact opposite of a fussy waterfront dinner, and that is very much the appeal. The crunchy chicken burrito is the item people actually drive in for, and once you've had it you'll understand the devotion without anyone having to explain it. Come here as the main event or as the post-something snack stop. It does not require an occasion. Order the crunch, find a seat, and stop second-guessing. Some of the best dates are the ones where nobody overthought dinner.
