Tacofino Ocho Reopened

Ocho’s dine-in-only Happy Hour runs from 3 to 6 pm. daily that includes Nachos and other share items as well as margaritas for $9 each and select BC craft beer on tap for $5.

A number of health and safety measures have been implemented at Ocho to ensure the continued health and wellbeing of staff and guests. These include frequent sanitization of common-touch areas and washrooms, the use of disposable one-time-use menus and scannable QR codes, personal protective equipment for staff, and Plexiglas dividers installed throughout the space.

The other locations continue to offer pickup and delivery options seven days a week. Tacofino has also begun to redeploy its food truck fleet, including its Pink Truck right outside the Vancouver Art Gallery serving lunch between noon and 3 p.m.

Takeout orders for Ocho can be made through tacofino.com. Ocho will also accept guests in its dining room, at the bar, and on the newly added patio on a walk-in basis only.
