Bill > HR1169

This resolution congratulates Taqueria El Tiger, a food truck located in Socorro, Texas, for ranking No. 5 on Texas Monthly's prestigious "The 50 Best Tacos in Texas" list. The resolution highlights the restaurant's unique background, noting that it was founded by Michelin-trained chef Jorge Ortiz, who returned to the El Paso area after working in renowned kitchens worldwide. Ortiz is recognized for his "new Tejano border cuisine" approach, which blends fine-dining techniques with street food, and includes distinctive practices like hand-pressing tortillas from heirloom masa sourced from Ciudad Juárez. The resolution specifically praises the restaurant's award-winning Tripa y Tembloroso taco, which features tripe, pork rinds, and kimchi salsa, and acknowledges Taqueria El Tiger as a treasured local institution that contributes to the Socorro community's character. By adopting this resolution, the Texas House of Representatives officially congratulates the restaurant and its staff, and intends to prepare an official copy of the resolution for Mr. Ortiz as an expression of their high regard.
