The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a cool, relaxed vibe that immediately made a good first impression. For breakfast, I ordered the eggs Benedict, my wife chose a vegetarian scrambled egg dish, our kids split pancakes, and my oldest son ordered the steak and eggs. We also added two sides of sausage patties. Unfortunately, the kitchen was very slow considering the restaurant wasn't especially busy. Service also wasn't particularly attentive during the wait, and we were left wanting drink refills for quite a while. Once the food arrived, there were some definite highlights. My eggs Benedict were good, with perfectly runny yolks. My wife enjoyed her entrée, and the kids liked the pancakes. The standout was actually my son's steak. The ribeye served over potatoes was very good, perfectly cooked, and had excellent flavor. Unfortunately, the scrambled eggs alongside it weren't nearly as successful. They came out more like a uniform yellow mass rather than the light, fluffy scrambled eggs you'd expect. The sausage was another example of the inconsistent execution. We ordered two sides: one was noticeably overcooked while the other seemed slightly undercooked. Overall, The Local Fix has a great atmosphere and the kitchen is clearly capable of putting out some very good food--the ribeye in particular was impressive. Our experience was just inconsistent. Better attention to cooking consistency, faster kitchen times, and more attentive service would have made this a much stronger meal. I'd be willing to give them another try based on the dishes they did well.

The outside is deceiving because it looks deceptive but it's a clean beautiful decor inside. Always hopping with great service. Now for the food. I think it has the best variety, value and great tasting food in Uvalde. There is something for everyone. Our favorites are the Monday green chili enchiladas. I've eaten hundreds of green enchiladas over the past 50 years. These are the BEST! Other favorites are stuffed pepper steak which we get the home fries ( delicious) with the small upcharge of queso . This also comes with a side salad to start. Again- one of the best we have ever had. The description of Julio's says barbecue which we only had once and it was great on the tacos. I've never had their breakfast tacos but the drive thru is always busy with the take out tacos. The sandwhiches, chicken fried chicken and big salads are great too because the salad dressings taste home made. The only thing I had that was basic was the cheese enchiladas but everything is usually great. Great service, great food, great variety and great prices.

Confirmed with some dude that works there: their hours are Mon-Sat 6am-3pm. I stayed in Uvalde for business for 2 weeks. We made it a point to stop in for lunch at Los Alamos whenever possible because the food is just hat good. The enchilada plate is prolly the best enchiladas I've had outside of San Antonio. They're legit. I also tried their burger---it's a burger--nothing to write home about but good nevertheless. The waitstaff if mostly friendly but if you come in at like 2:45 when they're about to close, they'll be slightly less accommodating (understandably). For example, our waitress was trying to get us out the other day and didn't serve us our customary chips and salsa. Nothing major...just the little things. Anyway, there's a couple of other TexMex restaurants in the town that are decent, but I'm over the opinion that Los Alamos is the best of the group along the highway 90 corridor that cuts through the city. Oh, and it's cheap--though not cheap tasting--as it should be.

I ordered the chorizo and egg, the migas and egg, and the barbacoa tacos. Total was $10 for all three. Each one was absolutely fabulous! Piping hot and served with their homemade hot sauce. Their green sauce is delicious. The red sauce is also very good but a little too spicy for me. Tortillas tastes homemade and fresh. The staff is really friendly and pleasant with lots of smiles. Highly recommended!
