According to JDR, an exciting new Mexican-inspired brand is coming to North Florida. 

Since selling Maple Street Biscuit Co. in 2019, Scott Moore is back with a new breakfast and lunch concept. 

“There was this whole space that we didn’t know was there,” Moore says as he prepares to open his first Calico Cactus, A Modern Taco Shop, in St. Augustine with the tagline of Tacos-Queso-Coffee.

The first Calico Cactus is opening in a former Tijuana Flats space at 833 S. Ponce de Leon Blvd., along the San Sebastian River in St. Augustine, JDR reports. 

“I see the same opportunity to create a new market in the brunch space, with this breakfast taco concept that serves a full barista offering, which I saw starting Maple Street,” Moore said, referring to his former biscuit company.

“This concept helps us to leverage a lot of the things that worked well at Maple Street but also allows us to improve on things that were challenges,” he said.

Readers can expect soft tacos for breakfast and lunch with chips and dips, sides, salads, bowls, kids’ meals and sweet treats along with salsas and sauces made from scratch.
