S.C.R. No. 50
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
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.
