                        Tuesday, April 24, 2018

  Ms. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise today 
to honor Lollie's New Mexican Food, one of Albuquerque's favorite 
restaurants, which just celebrated its five-year anniversary.
  In April 2013, Lollie Padilla opened her restaurant in Albuquerque's 
South Valley hoping to share the recipes of her mother, for whom the 
restaurant is named. Since then, Ms. Padilla and her staff have been 
``Proudly Serving the Southwest'' quadrant of Albuquerque breakfast and 
lunch seven days a week. House specialties include the sopaipillas and 
tostadas as well as New Mexico's famous red and green chile.
  In addition to providing the South Valley with outstanding food, 
Lollie's has given back to the community through its philanthropic 
endeavors. Every winter, the restaurant holds a coat drive in order to 
help those who are struggling to make ends meet.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Albuquerque community, I want to 
congratulate Lollie's New Mexican Food on its five-year anniversary. We 
are so lucky to have Ms. Padilla and her team in our community and look 
forward to enjoying their food, hospitality, and philanthropy for years 
to come.
