89(R) HR 1067 - Enrolled version - Bill Text

H.R. No. 1067

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, Aaron Peña, Jacob Gonzales, and Matthew Garcia have

distinguished themselves as the organizers of the Fajita Lounge, a

unique pop-up event that has fostered camaraderie in the San

Antonio Latino community; and

WHEREAS, The Fajita Lounge traces its origins to 2022, when

Mr. Peña enlisted Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Garcia, two veteran local

chefs, to help with a crawfish boil at the Squeezebox, a bar on

St. Mary's Street that was owned and operated by Mr. Peña; after the

crew quickly ran out of crawfish for patrons, they threw marinated

chicken onto the grill, and the Fajita Lounge was born; and

WHEREAS, Nicknamed the world's hottest Tejano party, the

popular, donation-based gathering takes place at various locations

in the Alamo City and raises funds for causes benefiting area

hospitality workers; attendees enjoy a spirited, communal

atmosphere that aims to capture the nostalgic smells, sounds, and

tastes of a backyard cookout; over the years, the Fajita Lounge has

featured cooking competitions that bring together talented chefs

from local restaurants and food trucks; and

WHEREAS, Through this noteworthy event, Aaron Peña, Jacob

Gonzales, and Matthew Garcia are contributing to the cultural

richness of the San Antonio community, and they are indeed

deserving of special recognition for their efforts; now, therefore,

be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas

Legislature hereby congratulate Aaron Peña, Jacob Gonzales, and

Matthew Garcia on the success of the Fajita Lounge and extend to

them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be

prepared for Mr. Peña, Mr. Gonzales, and Mr. Garcia as an expression

of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
