| WHEREAS, Family owned and operated businesses strengthen | ||
| the economy and culture of Texas communities, and in 2019, the | ||
| Barrios family is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Los Barrios | ||
| Restaurant in San Antonio; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Los Barrios was founded by Viola Barrios in 1979 | ||
| as a way to provide for her family after the passing of her | ||
| husband, Jose; she opened the restaurant in an old boathouse, | ||
| offering a variety of "casero style" Mexican dishes; over the | ||
| years, Los Barrios has become a favorite among local patrons, and | ||
| it has also earned national media recognition, appearing on Good | ||
| Morning America, The Today Show, and a number of programs on the | ||
| Food Network; in addition, the business has been featured on the | ||
| Travel Channel, NPR, PBS, the BBC, and Telemundo International, | ||
| as well as in many print publications, including Texas Monthly, | ||
| Southern Living, Esquire, and the New York Times; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Los Barrios remains a family affair, with | ||
| Viola Barrios's son, Louis Barrios, serving as president and CEO, | ||
| her daughter, Diana Barrios Treviño, and her husband, Roland, | ||
| serving as vice presidents, and her granddaughter, Analie Van | ||
| Sciver, serving as director of human resources; the Barrios | ||
| family also owns several other restaurants, a catering business, | ||
| a boutique, and Viola's Huge Heart Foundation, a nonprofit that | ||
| helps women achieve their goals by providing them with | ||
| educational scholarships; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the course of four decades, Los Barrios has | ||
| become a signature San Antonio enterprise, and the members of the | ||
| Barrios family may take great pride in their legacy of success as | ||
| they celebrate this special milestone; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commemorate the 40th anniversary of Los | ||
| Barrios Restaurant and extend to all those associated with the | ||
| business sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Barrios family as an expression of high regard | ||
| by the Texas Senate. | ||
