|---|
| 2 | 2 | | WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|---|
| 3 | 3 | | recognize Bigo's Bar and Grill in Brownsville on the occasion of |
|---|
| 4 | 4 | | the restaurant's 25th anniversary; and |
|---|
| 5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, First established as Sr. Taco, Bigo's began as a |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | fajita restaurant in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, and its |
|---|
| 7 | 7 | | excellent seasonings and unique recipes soon attracted a loyal |
|---|
| 8 | 8 | | customer base; and |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | WHEREAS, The restaurant gained in popularity when it began |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | selling fajitas by the kilo and parrilladas, which are servings |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | of freshly barbecued meats complemented with vegetables and |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | often accompanied by queso flameado; these popular dishes |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | prompted the company to change its name to Bigo's, a spin on |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | bigotón or huge mustache, as a tribute to its distinctive |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | approach to food; and |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | WHEREAS, Over the years, the original Bigo's expanded to |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | include restaurants throughout Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley; |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | the thriving Brownsville location offers patrons an array of |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | affordable border-style specialties in a relaxing atmosphere and |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | the occasional live mariachi performance; and |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | WHEREAS, Bigo's Bar and Grill is a favorite dining spot for |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | residents of Brownsville who enjoy authentic border-town flavors |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | in a warm and welcoming environment, and the restaurant's 25th |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | anniversary is indeed worthy of celebration; now, therefore, |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | be it |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | Legislature, hereby commend the owners and staff of Bigo's Bar |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | and Grill in Brownsville for continuing its proud tradition of |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | serving excellent food and congratulate them on the restaurant's |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | 25th anniversary; and, be it further |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | honor of Bigo's Bar and Grill. |
