The resolution recognizes The Original Donut Shop, a family-owned restaurant in San Antonio, for being featured in Bon Appétit's list of "The Best Breakfast Tacos in San Antonio." Founded in 1954 by Patrick Morris, the establishment initially operated under the name Hot Donuts and gained popularity for its offerings. In the early 1980s, it expanded its menu to include breakfast tacos and Mexican food, leading to its current name and the addition of drive-thru lanes to accommodate growing demand. The restaurant has become a beloved part of the local dining scene, also gaining recognition through the Netflix series Taco Chronicles.
The Texas House of Representatives expresses its congratulations to The Original Donut Shop for this achievement and acknowledges the restaurant's significant contribution to the culinary diversity and prosperity of Texas. The resolution highlights the establishment's enduring presence in the San Antonio community for over seventy years and extends best wishes for its continued success. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of appreciation from the Texas House of Representatives.
