Popular Dallas Tex-Mex Restaurant Back Open After Surviving Pandemic and a Fire |
"You're running this marathon, and you're at mile 26 and you've got that .2 to get to the finish line and you you know you hurt yourself or you break a leg, it was devastating," explained Valles about bouncing back from he pandemic then experiencing the fire.
"It was like you were trying to get out of quicksand and it wasn't fast enough, and so I mean It was just one thing or another," she said."I finally said, 'OK, I have to take a deep breath and accept where we're at and keep moving forward. Just never give up.'" "People need people, and in order to be in business, you can't do it alone and you will have to have those people that support you as well," said Valles."So never give up. Never give up no matter how difficult the challenge is, if your dream is bigger, then you will overcome."
Even though the building is new, it still holds old memories tied to to the former building. Including a mural they were able to save from the fire. Valles, who said she has family who have served, said she had a tradition of having vets come in on the first Tuesday of the month. Next to all of that is a large photo of Valles singing the Star Spangled Banner at a Rangers game. Because when she is not busy running the restaurant, she's singing at the restaurant on Saturday nights or at events across town.
