Line / Station Cook Part Time

About us: Tacofino began as a food truck in the back of a surf shop in beautiful Tofino, British Columbia.

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.
