Ski season is just around the corner, and while there’s nothing quite like flying down the slopes at duplicitous speeds, we all know the best part of the day isn’t just about the snow.
It’s about the food.
A fantastic meal is an essential part of enjoying a long day in the snow; you need the right fuel to head up the mountain and another filling meal once you’re done carving powder for the day. Of course, no one knows this better than the team at Tacofino Squamish, who are now offering fellow skiers, boarders and the shredding-inclined an easy way to aprés on your way.
Whether you're cruising up the Sea to Sky or heading down after a day on the mountain, Tacofino Squamish’s online ordering system lets you pre-order your food, ensuring a delicious meal is waiting for you—whether you're calling it a day or just getting started.
Tacofino, which first gained fame slinging tacos and burritos from a surf shop parking lot in Tofino, has always had a close connection with the skate-snow-surf community. “At our core, that’s who we are,” says Gino Di Domenico, managing partner. “We’re passionate about making delicious food, but we’re equally passionate about our love for surfing and the lifestyle that comes with it—and that spirit has never changed.”

That same spirit continues to thrive in Squamish in particular. Since opening their now 12th location, Tacofino has quickly become a favourite among locals and visitors alike by participating in numerous community events and consistently serving up amazing food along the way. “Being part of communities like Squamish feels like such a natural fit,” says Di Domenico. “Tofino and Squamish share that same energy—a love for adventure, the outdoors and a strong, connected community. The warmth and support from everyone has been amazing.”
It’s easy to make friends over great food, and Tacofino Squamish certainly delivers with their West Coast-inspired casual Mexican fare, including exclusive dishes only available at this location. “You’ve got to try out Vegan Tempeh Crunch taco with crunchy Korean chilli sauce and burnt onion aioli”, says Di Domenico, “and if you haven’t tried our iconic Fish Tacos or legendary nachos, it’s time you do.”
While the online ordering system is a game-changer for grab-and-go options, you should give dining-in a shot as well. The sleek space was designed by Shiloh Sukkau in collaboration with architect Nada Awadi (Studio Beige) and graphic artist Courtney Presber, bringing a fun, modern counterpoint to the already vibrant food.
For those looking to take it slow, it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a bite before heading up the mountain. Plus, with happy hour specials and full liquor service, including local beers and freshly shaken margaritas, it’s a far more fun way to après than the typical wine and cheese.
