Velasco's Mexican Restaurant

I stop by for breakfast burritos frequently. They are mad fast and delicious. The Salsa is pleasantly spicy.

While staying at shaver lake, we decided to go grab a bite to eat in the little town of Prather which is about 17 mi from the lake.
As a Mexican food lover, I was excited to see a local restaurant in the area.
Upon walking in, we were seated immediately and greeted by a very sweet young man who immediately gave us menus, chips and salsa and brought our drinks over pronto.
Sadly the food was not fantastic.
I ordered cheese enchiladas with beans and rice and my husband ordered a beef fajita burrito.
The beef fajita burrito was decent with a rich flavor but very oversized pieces for a burrito making it a little difficult to eat.
My cheese enchiladas arrived swimming and sauce and the beans and rice. Although fresh and homemade, we're all lacking flavor and consistency. The rice was very dry and the beans were very runny and lacked a smooth creamy texture.
Everything from the chips to the salsa to the enchilada sauce & beans we're sadly lacking salt.
On a side note, although I enjoy a great pico de gallo, which is what they served with our chips and salsa, it is hard to eat as a condiment on the rest of your food, such as an addition to the fajita burrito. When the salsa is chunky it falls off of everything and does not blend well.
I prefer a smooth salsa to add to rice and on top of meats or burritos etc.
And the salsa should be rich with flavor. This salsa needed spice a jalapeno to add a little heat, more cumin and salt. Lots more salt. I also enjoy cilantro but I know a lot of restaurants avoid it because there are people who have an aversion to it. So I understand the lack of cilantro. But know that salsa in any Mexican restaurant is a crucial condiment and should be given full attention to detail and flavor. And this is Petty. I know it, but the lettuce and tomato along with a lemon slice was a bizarre addition to both meals. It just seemed out of place. I know it's garnish but it just didn't go. Perhaps the sprig of cilantro on the side of the plate would dress it up and be a more useful veggie on the side for those who enjoy it or a unique corn cake. Just a thought.
I hope this comes as constructive criticism because the customer service was so phenomenal there that I really hope for the future success of this restaurant.
Just spice it up guys. You've got the hardest part down which is phenomenal customer service and a timely kitchen. You're 3/4 of the way there. I look forward to giving it another try next time we're in the area.

Good if not best fast food in town. Close to authentic back yard Mexican BBQ but with a drive threw. Top choice for late night food.

Just ordered 2 plates to go that consisted of 3 tacos and 3 enchaladas with beans and rice and chips and salsa and it was $49. When we got home and opened the boxes we just laughed at what was in the plates. Taco shells had hardly any meat and the beans and rice were sub par. Usually this is the place to go for a family dinner and hopefully this was a one off night for Velascos but definitely won't ever order anything to go from here again.
