Judge Rosa Treviño helps El Tajito Meat Market owner Gerardo Vellasco cut the ribbon.

PHARR, July 9 - Hidalgo County Justice of the Peace Rosa Treviño officiated at a ribbon cutting ceremony for Pharr’s newest store, El Tajito Meat Market.

“It is going to be so convenient for me because I live nearby. If the prices are good and the service is good, the owner is going to do well. People will come here to buy their meats. I wish the owners well,” Treviño said.

Treviño added that the opening of the new store was a sign that the Rio Grande Valley’s economy is rebounding after the recession. “It is a good sign that new stores are starting to open in Pharr. That is what we want,” Treviño said.

Another local official to pay a visit on the opening day of El Tajito Meat Market was Pharr Police Chief Ruben Villescas. The store is located at 301 North I Road, just a few blocks south of Expressway 83.

The owner of El Tajito Meat Market is Gerardo Vellasco who has had a similar business in Reynosa.

“Whatever cut of meat you want, we can do it. Come by and see what is on offer. You will see that we are special. We are going to be different from other meat markets,” Vellasco said.
