| H.R. No. 200 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Taco Olé in Mission is celebrating its 50th | ||
| anniversary in 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 1973, four years after their marriage, Mission | ||
| natives Elias Bazan Jr. and Delia Bazan established Taco Olé | ||
| downtown, using knowledge gained from an earlier venture in | ||
| McAllen; members of both sides of their family helped to build the | ||
| business, working at breakfast, lunch, and dinner; and | ||
| WHEREAS, "Welo," Mr. Bazan's father, opened the restaurant | ||
| at 5 a.m., serving coffee to oilfield workers and city employees | ||
| headed to their jobs; many cooks contributed to the restaurant's | ||
| reputation for offering authentic Mexican food, including | ||
| enchiladas and family-sized botanas, but the tortillas made by | ||
| "Mommie Rosa," Mrs. Bazan's mother, became especially well known; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 1986, the Bazans constructed a new building on | ||
| North Conway; over the years, the couple made the restaurant a | ||
| family tradition, and they mentored not only cousins, nieces, and | ||
| nephews, but also customers' children looking to enter the | ||
| hospitality industry; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Taco Olé has been featured on local television news | ||
| during Hispanic Heritage Month, and Texas Monthly magazine has | ||
| listed it as one of the state's best Mexican restaurants; today, it | ||
| has locations in Edinburg and the Sharyland area as well as in | ||
| Mission; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Family owned and operated restaurants contribute to | ||
| both the culinary culture and the economic prosperity of the Lone | ||
| Star State, and those enterprises that build a record of | ||
| dependability and longevity enjoy a special degree of esteem in | ||
| their communities; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Taco Olé on its 50th anniversary | ||
| and that all those associated with this noteworthy establishment be | ||
| extended sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Taco Olé as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
| Muñoz, Jr. | ||
