|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Legislature of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Bazan family in honor of the 50th anniversary of their | ||
| family-owned restaurant, Taco Olé; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Taco Olé was established in 1973 by the late Elias | ||
| Bazan Jr. and his wife, the late Delia Bazan; the couple opened | ||
| their first restaurant, Okie Frijole, in 1970 in McAllen shortly | ||
| after they were married and offered all-you-can-eat meals for one | ||
| dollar; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With the goal of creating an authentic Mexican | ||
| dining experience in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the Bazans moved | ||
| back to their hometown of Mission in 1973 and opened the first Taco | ||
| Olé restaurant; through their determination, talent, and faith, | ||
| Elias and Delia found lasting success in their family business, and | ||
| the restaurant now operates two additional locations in Edinburg | ||
| and Sharyland; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Taco Olé restaurants are famous for their excellent | ||
| Tex-Mex dishes, and especially for their family-sized botanas that | ||
| feature grilled beef, chicken, and shrimp as well as their fresh | ||
| tortillas and delicious enchiladas; Taco Olé has received accolades | ||
| that include being featured in Texas Monthly as one of the "Best | ||
| Mexican Restaurants in Texas," and the restaurant has been a | ||
| popular culinary destination in the Lower Rio Grande Valley for | ||
| half a century; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This beloved business and its owners and staff are | ||
| indeed deserving of special recognition for catering to the hearts | ||
| and palates of Texans throughout the years and for continuing the | ||
| family's proud tradition of providing exceptional service and | ||
| cuisine to their customers; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the Bazan family on their contributions | ||
| to the Rio Grande Valley and extend to them and to the restaurant's | ||
| staff congratulations on the 50th anniversary of Taco Olé and best | ||
| wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for the | ||
| business as an expression of esteem from the Texas Legislature. | ||
