Tacofino Yaletown

Absolutely do not eat there. They literally said they wouldn’t even wipe their knife before cutting my food. As in, refused to do the bare minimum of wiping off a knife. Stay away.

I ate here the other day and explained I had a gluten allergy and then my meal came out (a chicken bowl) with deep fried rice on it that had cross contamination. When I explained I had an allergy (again) the gentleman told me an allergy wasn’t serious and that I need to tell them that I’m celiac. I find this isn’t the first time eating at a tacofino when they’ve explained my own allergy to me. BUT good to know. I find I’m on edge eating at tacofino since there is SO much flour in the joint and Tight kitchens. And I’ve sent back food a number of times because they’ve put deep fried items on it (deep fried cauliflower). Yesterday, they did bring me back a bowl after of 5 small pieces of chicken on a bed of cabbage, so not really enough food for a meal.

It’s good food; fresh, and unique, but risky for celiacs. I won’t risk anymore, unfortunately.
