Healthy, Real Food: Meet Alex Velasco with Fork to Fit Kitchen

January 29, 2025

Meet Alex Velasco, the co‑founder and CEO of Fork to Fit Kitchen, a staple at the Shoppes at Tres Lagos. With a mission to make healthy, real food accessible, Alex and his team are transforming how the Tres Lagos community thinks about fast, nutritious meals. 

Why Tres Lagos? 

When asked why he chose to lease at the Shoppes at Tres Lagos, Alex’s answer was clear, “Tres Lagos feels like the perfect home for Fork to Fit Kitchen because it’s a place where wellness, growth and community are valued,” he shared. “We wanted to be somewhere that shares our vision of making healthy, real food accessible and Tres Lagos felt like a natural fit. Being here means we’re close to people who care about health and convenience, and we’re excited to be part of this vibrant community.” 

A Warm Welcome from the Community 

The response since Fork to Fit Kitchen’s opening has been overwhelmingly positive. “The response has been truly heartwarming,” Alex said. “People here have shown us so much support, and they seem genuinely happy to have a place nearby where they can grab a healthy, ready‑to‑eat meal. We feel the love every time a customer tells us how much they appreciate what we offer.” 

A Vision Born from Passion 

For Alex, the journey to creating Fork to Fit Kitchen was personal. “I started Fork to Fit Kitchen because I believe healthy food should be convenient and accessible,” he explained. “Coming from a background in fitness and nutrition, I saw how challenging it can be for busy people to find balanced meals that taste good. I wanted to create something better—a place where people could get real, nutritious food without sacrificing time or flavor.” 

One of Alex’s goals is to shape the future of fast food by inspiring younger generations. “A big goal of ours is to start teaching the youth in this community what fast food should look like—options that are wholesome and balanced, not the high‑calorie dense meals that are often pushed in today’s society.” 

Memorable Moments 

Since opening, there have been countless memorable moments for the Fork to Fit team. One stands out in particular: “During our opening week, a resident stopped by and told us how grateful she was that we’d come to Tres Lagos,” Alex recalled. “She explained how hard it had been to find quick, healthy options nearby and how excited she was to finally have a place she could trust. It was a special moment for us.” 

Alex also shared how rewarding it is to see bikers and runners stop by after workouts for a protein shake. “That’s really what Fork to Fit is all about—helping people fuel their active lives with healthy, convenient choices,” he said. 

Customer Favorites 

When it comes to fan favorites, Fork to Fit Kitchen delivers. “Our Chicken Enchiladas and Beefy Spaghetti are definite best‑sellers,” Alex said. Customers also rave about the Meal of the Week (MOTW) promotions. “We rotate in a new dish every week to keep things fresh and exciting. It’s a fun way to bring variety while staying true to our mission of making real, wholesome food accessible.” 

What Makes Fork to Fit Different? 

At Fork to Fit Kitchen, it’s all about quality and community. “All our meals are made from scratch in our kitchen, and we prioritize quality, transparency and accessibility,” Alex explained. “We want people to know exactly what they’re getting—a healthy, thoughtfully prepared meal that fits into their busy lives.” 

More than a meal prep service, Fork to Fit Kitchen is creating a hub for health and wellness. “We’re here to be a part of this community, not just a business in it,” Alex said.
