SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 716
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Rex Café and Bakery in McAllen on the grand
occasion of its 70th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, The Rex Café and Bakery opened its doors to the
public on April 23, 1947; it was established by Rogelio Guerrero,
who returned to his Texas home after serving in the armed forces
during World War II, and it has remained in the Guerrero family
throughout its history; and
WHEREAS, The Rex Café and Bakery is known as the home of the
quintessential Mexican breakfast in McAllen; it is noted for
offering the same high-quality food and coffee that generations
of customers have enjoyed through the years, from its huevos
rancheros and chilaquiles to its famous signature breakfast
dish, "the Borracho"; and
WHEREAS, Today, it is managed by Baldemar Guerrero Jr., who
spent time in the café at a very young age when it was owned by his
father; he has maintained its famous family atmosphere, and the
café is often the chosen site for first communions and other
special events by area citizens; and
WHEREAS, The Rex Café and Bakery has been an important part
of the fabric of life in McAllen for 70 years, and it is truly
fitting that it receive special recognition in celebration of
this milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend the Guerrero family and the staff of
the Rex Café and Bakery on their commitment to quality food and
service and extend to all best wishes for continued success as they
celebrate the restaurant's 70th anniversary; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the café as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
