                         HON. VICENTE GONZALEZ

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 6, 2018

  Mr. GONZALEZ of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Taco 
Palenque and all of its diligent employees. This year, Taco Palenque 
celebrates 20 years in the Rio Grande Valley, and I could not be 
happier to have such talented entrepreneurs in my district.
  In 1987, Juan Francisco Ochoa opened the first Taco Palenque 
restaurant where families could come together over authentic Mexican 
food. Over two decades later, Taco Palenque has taken both the Valley 
and Texas by storm with locations in San Antonio, Houston, Brownsville, 
and, of course, McAllen. I look forward to watching them continue to 
grow in South Texas and beyond.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to represent the hard-working individuals 
of Taco Palenque. Their recent success is a shining example of what the 
15th District of Texas has to offer.
