The partners who are making three restaurants work in New Columbia gathered at the Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet after being put in the spotlight by voters. Pictured From Left Are: Guadalupe Manjarrez, BYO Express; Erick Montoya, BYO Express, Black Stallion Steakhouse, and Happy Cow Cafe; Destiny Montoya, Happy Cow Cafe, BYO Express, and Black Stallion; Daisy Manjarrez, BYO Express, and Black Stallion; and Carlos Manjarrez, BYO Express, And Black Stallion Steakhouse.
Black Stallion Steakhouse, voted first among nominees for the 2025 Large Business/Industry, was the first of the three new food establishments. It began as a shared dream of the Alvarez family in 2012, and when the opportunity arose to open a second location, Erick and Carlos were welcomed to help bring the Columbia restaurant to life. Since then, they have developed strong relationships, and brought more jobs, in the Columbia community through a commitment to local service. -- From introductions by Ellen Zornes, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce.
