The former restaurant director at Arlington’s Green Pig Bistro, Tom Voskuil, is bringing Taqueria Picoso to Alexandria.
Taqueria Picoso will open at 1472 N. Beauregard St., at the Shops at Mark Center in Alexandria's West End. An opening is expected late this year.
The spot was formerly a Thai restaurant. A $100,000-plus remodeling project is underway, according to construction permits.
Voskuil and Lynn Umemoto are joint owners of the business.
Voskuil noted on his LinkedIn profile: “Exciting news as we are in the process of opening the most authentic taqueria in the area! Update, as we have approvals for our vertical al pastor roaster. Importing corn from Oaxaca for our tortilla machine, which will produce 720 tortillas/hour. $3 tacos that taste like true tacos from CDMX [Mexico City] is only months away! Stay tuned NOVA for a true taste treat!!”
Proposed hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
