|
||
WHEREAS, Villa Arcos, a popular Mexican restaurant in | ||
Houston's East End, is reopening on March 27, 2023, to the delight | ||
of many area residents; and | ||
WHEREAS, Located on Navigation Boulevard, Villa Arcos was | ||
established in 1977 by Velia Arcos Rodríguez Durán and was run for | ||
many years by her daughter, Yolanda Black Navarro, an esteemed | ||
community leader and activist; the restaurant is best known for its | ||
breakfast tacos, which are served on hand-rolled tortillas that are | ||
made fresh each day; in 2019, Villa Arcos was recognized as one of | ||
Houston's Top 100 restaurants by the Houston Chronicle; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, the family-owned establishment benefits from | ||
the able leadership of Jacob Torres, Ms. Durán's grandson; the | ||
restaurant temporarily closed its doors in February 2021 due to the | ||
COVID-19 pandemic, and it will reopen with new operating and | ||
point-of-sale systems, online ordering capabilities, and | ||
third-party integration; and | ||
WHEREAS, Villa Arcos has served the people of Houston for | ||
more than four decades, and its reopening is sure to bring great joy | ||
to longtime patrons and new customers alike while marking an | ||
exciting new chapter for this beloved local institution; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the reopening of Villa Arcos and | ||
extend to all those associated with the restaurant sincere best | ||
wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the restaurant as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
