A new taco truck, Taqueria Picazo, is gearing up to roll onto University Boulevard West in Jacksonville, with the operator confirming plans for the location while keeping the actual opening date under wraps for now.
Plan review paperwork on file lists a mobile food vendor operating under the Taqueria Picazo name at 2940 University Blvd W, and the development was confirmed with the vendor. As noted by What Now, owner Cristian told the outlet that the opening date "has yet to be determined."
Where the truck would park
The University Boulevard West address is currently home to Roots & Fruits Juicery, which would put Taqueria Picazo directly across from the Publix at University Square and a short distance from Dinosaur Asian Supermarket. That layout lines up with the Roots & Fruits business listing and local store directories, which show the juice shop operating at the same address. According to Roots & Fruits Juicery and local store listings, the spot sits within the University Square retail strip.
About the name
Details on what will actually come out of the truck are still thin. Menu specifics, operating hours and whether Taqueria Picazo will be a permanent fixture at that curb have not yet been shared publicly. The Taqueria Picazo name is also in use by an established Chicago taqueria, which maintains a public website, but it is not clear whether the Jacksonville operation is affiliated. Any connection, if it exists, has not been verified online.
What to watch for
Because this setup is filed as a mobile vendor, the first solid sign of an opening will likely show up in public permits or on the vendor’s social channels. Local food coverage and trackers that follow new Jacksonville restaurant openings regularly spot similar moves when food trucks settle into fixed locations, so it may pay to keep an eye on neighborhood permit postings and the vendor’s updates.
