SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 362
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Bigo's Bar and Grill in Brownsville on the occasion of
the restaurant's 25th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, First established as Sr. Taco, Bigo's began as a
fajita restaurant in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, and its
excellent seasonings and unique recipes soon attracted a loyal
customer base; and
WHEREAS, The restaurant gained in popularity when it began
selling fajitas by the kilo and parrilladas, which are servings
of freshly barbecued meats complemented with vegetables and
often accompanied by queso flameado; these popular dishes
prompted the company to change its name to Bigo's, a spin on
bigotón or huge mustache, as a tribute to its distinctive
approach to food; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, the original Bigo's expanded to
include restaurants throughout Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley;
the thriving Brownsville location offers patrons an array of
affordable border-style specialties in a relaxing atmosphere and
the occasional live mariachi performance; and
WHEREAS, Bigo's Bar and Grill is a favorite dining spot for
residents of Brownsville who enjoy authentic border-town flavors
in a warm and welcoming environment, and the restaurant's 25th
anniversary is indeed worthy of celebration; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby commend the owners and staff of Bigo's Bar
and Grill in Brownsville for continuing its proud tradition of
serving excellent food and congratulate them on the restaurant's
25th anniversary; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of Bigo's Bar and Grill.
