Kaeli Robinsong and Jason Susman, the pair behind the Tacofino food truck, have just taken possession of 2327 East Hastings with plans for a wheel-free location of their popular mobile brand (just a few doors down from Campagnolo Roma and The Red Wagon). The 1350 sqft space used to be the undersung Seri Malaysian, a very good restaurant that – for one reason or another – was never as busy as it should have been. The new Tacofino – the top to bottom renovation of which began today – will arrive this May and seat approximately 50 people. We should expect plenty of items from their much-loved food truck menu (mmm, fish tacos), but we can anticipate that they’ll also be exploring their love of Asian/Californian flavours a little more as well. Oh, plus aiming to get a liquor license so they can set up a bar specialising in tequila, a spirit they both love but can’t do a thing with on account of the limits placed on food trucks. This is some great news both for lovers of Vancouver’s street food scene and residents of Hastings-Sunrise. I can’t wait for this one!
