The resolution commemorates the 20th anniversary of Buenos Aires Café in Austin, which will be celebrated in 2025. Chef Reina Morris opened the restaurant in 2005 to share her Argentinian culinary heritage, and she has since collaborated with her daughter, Paola Guerrero-Smith, who manages the restaurant's business operations and marketing. Under their leadership, the café has introduced unique offerings such as the Milonga Room speakeasy bar and the Vinos del Sur project, which highlights boutique South American wines.
Buenos Aires Café has become a beloved establishment in Austin, known for its diverse menu featuring grilled dishes, empanadas, and pastries. It has garnered significant recognition, including being named one of the best restaurants on Austin's east side by Infatuation and winning the Austin Chronicle's "Best of Austin" readers' choice poll in the South American category for three consecutive years (2022-2024). The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' appreciation for the restaurant's contributions to the local community and extends best wishes for its future endeavors.
