A creative lawyer, a devoted Latin American business community, and one couple’s relentless drive made this restaurant serving Texas barbecue a D.C. destination

The liaison linked the couple with Jose Campos, the president of the D.C. metro chapter of the Salvadoran American Chamber of Commerce, who got them set up with an accountant, Roberto Lopez, who led them to Silvie Gallardo, the immigration attorney who would find a novel solution to securing their stay while they set up the business.
Gallardo does not practice in court. Her primary adversaries, as she sees it, are the contractors working in the mail room at U.S. Citizens and Immigration Services who are looking to disqualify paperwork she submits based on the minutiae of how she fills out forms. “I think they felt comfortable that I was going to fight for them like a dog with a bone,” Gallardo says. “They mattered. They weren’t a number to me.”
