Taco Pacifico Stays in Clinton, Doesn't Return to Madison

The Taco Pacifico food truck did not return to Madison last weekend, Jack Kramer reports for The Source.

The truck moved to Clinton during the holiday season amid controversy surrounding the food trucks in Madison.

According to the Source, owner Greg Sharon said a combination of bad weather and mechanical problems prevented him from returning to Madison and he is not sure when he will return.

About a dozen residents attended a Board of Selectmen meeting in November asking the selectmen to rescind their Sept. 22 decision allowing food truck vendors to operate on the visible north side of School Street, the Source reports.

Opponents at the meeting said the location of the food trucks conflicted with the character of the town and belonged in a more commercial location.

The selectmen took no action on the comments, the paper reports.

According to the New Haven Register, due to concerns about the trucks disturbing the image of downtown, they were moved to Academy Street this summer. Vendors complained about their business suffering at the Academy Street location and the board of selectmen voted to allow them to continue operating at the School Street location for an additional two weeks on Sept. 8.

On Sept. 22, the Board of Selectmen voted to permanently move the food trucks back to their original location on the north side of School Street.
