||
WHEREAS, Family owned and operated businesses strengthen the | ||
economy and culture of Texas communities, and in 2019, the Barrios | ||
family is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Los Barrios | ||
Restaurant in San Antonio; and | ||
WHEREAS, Los Barrios was founded by Viola Barrios in 1979 as a | ||
way to provide for her family after the passing of her husband, | ||
Jose; she opened the restaurant in an old boathouse, offering a | ||
variety of "casero style" Mexican dishes; over the years, Los | ||
Barrios has become a favorite among local patrons, and it has also | ||
earned national media recognition, appearing on Good Morning | ||
America, The Today Show, and a number of programs on the Food | ||
Network; in addition, the business has been featured on the Travel | ||
Channel, NPR, PBS, the BBC, and Telemundo International, as well as | ||
in many print publications, including Texas Monthly, Southern | ||
Living, Esquire, and the New York Times; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, Los Barrios remains a family affair, with | ||
Viola Barrios's son, Louis Barrios, serving as president and CEO, | ||
her daughter, Diana Barrios Trevino, and her husband, Roland, | ||
serving as vice presidents, and her granddaughter, Analie Van | ||
Sciver, serving as director of human resources; the Barrios family | ||
also owns several other restaurants, a catering business, a | ||
boutique, and Viola's Huge Heart Foundation, a nonprofit that aims | ||
to help women achieve their goals by providing them with | ||
educational scholarships; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the course of four decades, Los Barrios has | ||
become a signature San Antonio enterprise, and the members of the | ||
Barrios family may take great pride in their legacy of success as | ||
they celebrate this special milestone; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 40th anniversary of Los Barrios | ||
Restaurant and extend to all those associated with the business | ||
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Barrios family as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas House of Representatives. |
