Wildside Grill - Tofino!

This place is "da bomb!"  I haven't had a meal that I enjoyed so much in a really long time!  I think the outdoor ambiance and the picnic table eating and fresh ocean air adds to the fantastic-ness of this place.  Wildside Grill is located in Tofino, BC. It's in this fabulous little hippie surfer village just a few minutes outside of the town of Tofino.  All the surfers come roaring in to get "whatever," sporting their wet suits and bare feet and it just makes it so cool to be there.  Some surfers even pull up on their bikes with their surf boards hung from the side of their bike.  It's a buzzing little village.  The best part....the FOOD. They have a burger menu and of course a whole seafood menu with a variety of fresh seafood chowder and seafood gumbo. 
What really stole my heart tho was the taco's!  OMG!! Amazing!  They had a few different kinds to choose from, my favourite, the fish taco.  Made with fresh caught white fish (the catch of the day was lingcod,) they are served in soft corn tortillas and fresh guacamole and chunky fresh salsa.  If you haven't caught on yet...the key is FRESH. They catch their own seafood, I think daily.  You just can't get any better. The prices are very reasonable and the service is top notch.  They have started to make a name for themselves as they are going to be featured on the Canadian show "You gotta eat here" on the food network, airing February 22, 2013.  They are as local as they can come and I love supporting new up and coming restaurateurs.
