Decent Spot, but Some Misses Stopped into Local Patron in Scottsdale hoping for a solid meal, but the experience ended up being just okay. The service was friendly enough, though it took quite a while before anyone came by the table. Way too loud in this place to think, or have a conversation... ok, I'm old! I ordered the carne asada (which was made with ribeye) but it came out overcooked, not much flavor and pretty tough. Honestly, it didn't feel like the right cut of meat for something meant to resemble Carne Asada. The flavors just weren't there. I started with a margarita, but it had almost no taste, so I switched over to a Modelo, which was a much better choice. Overall, it wasn't a terrible visit--but with so many great options in Scottsdale, I was hoping for more. --.
This was my first visit, and while the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere, the food wasn't my favorite. The appetizer was the item I liked the most. Our server was nice and attentive.
In town for our grandsons Cactus Cup Hockey Tournament and we weee between games and needed to grab a bite and catch the NFL games. A short walk from our hotel we wanted to try Arizona style Mexican food. Great atmosphere with indoor dining and patio dining, plenty of TVs showing the early game and great weather today so we dined Al fresco on the patio. Service was great, friendly and ready to help with questions and suggestions. We started with the skillet chorizo fundido with house made chips, I have to say the chips were very good. Light and tasty, fundido was very good. Our entrees came and followed up with more deliciousness. Place had a nice vibe with a DJ playing music during the commercials so we got music and football to accompany our margaritas. Good sized menu offering a variety of appetizers, tacos, burritos and salads. Definitely would come back when we visit Scottsdale Old Town. In my native tongue, molto bene Loco Patron!
Walked in 85% of the tables were dirty, they may have just had a rush but all the tables as you walked in were full of dirty plates, chips and cups! We sat towards the middle closer to the bar, the young lady came and gave us chips and salsa. The salsa is pretty good here! The chips are a little salty, but nothing to bad. Our waitress came she was super sweet and friendly, we ordered the drunken tacos with rice and Mexican coleslaw. We also got The chips with guac the chips and guac are amazing! The guac is super fresh. The tacos were OK. They fell apart before you even were able to take a bite of them then dipping them in the juice was even harder!! I've had a lot of birria tacos before and the tortillas don't fall apart like that normally! I was a little disappointed in the tacos! The OLE margarita in a can was pretty good!! Not bad for a can!! As we were walking out my husband almost slipped in a knife that was on the floor from the dirty table area when you first walk in. All in all the guac was my favorite!! I'm not sure if I would go back unfortunately. ( I did not take pictures of the front area where the tables were messy) I just took pictures of where we were sitting.
Food is always pretty good. I love their pork belly tacos and drunken tacos. Their queso (I get a side of habanero salsa to add in) is amazing too. Cadillac Marg is bomb too. Staff is friendly and Tim and Skillet always have great service. On point with the drinks and orders. Overall I do like this place a lot and come often. Ambiance is Mexican cantina with a decent patio. Don't expect fancy but it's nice enough for a taco restaurant.
Have you ever been to a place that serves Mexican food yet treats the Hispanic customers less than as soon as they walk in the back door. Come on down to this hole of racism on the boulevard. Not only did we wait 15 minutes but the eye stare from the local whites is hilariously less than normal. The dog got water before we did. Also this white mayo taco can suck it!!!
The food was so good. we ordered the happy hour og nachos and I loved the beans that came in the nachos: so flavorful! The chips were crisp abs and there was just the right amount of sour cream and guacamole. For our entrees we both ordered the baja burritos his was with blackened shrimp and a salad and mine was with grilled chicken and smothered in their housemade queso sauce. 10/10 The queso sauce had a little heat to it but that's fine with me because I like spicy food. Brittany was our server and she was kind and efficient. The ambiance was typical for a Mexican cantina.
This was a great spot in a bustling area during playoff football. It's got a great outdoor seating area that's heated and plenty of tvs. Service was really good considering the amount of people. We had drinks in hand within minutes and appetizers on the table shortly thereafter. We stuck with small plates for most of the evening, wings were great (try the ones with honey on them), as was the queso. Very good spot and very vibrant, stop by for a good tequila selection and notable cocktail menu.
If you're looking for a fun, lively spot in Scottsdale with great vibes, Local Patron on Scottsdale Road is a must-visit. Their outdoor seating area is a standout--it's spacious, equipped with TVs, and opens up to the street, making it perfect for soaking in the Arizona sun and people-watching. The servers are always sweet and friendly but it does get busy so be prepared to wait a bit at peak times. When it comes to the food, their salt and pepper wings are hands-down the best! I always order mine extra crispy, and they never disappoint. If wings aren't your thing, they've got a variety of flavors and an impressive selection of tacos and other dishes to choose from. The laid-back atmosphere and delicious menu make it an ideal spot to kick back, enjoy great food, watch games, and have a good time with friends.
Came here with a few coworkers for lunch and it was pretty good. It was pretty empty that day, so not sure if we beat the rush or missed the rush. Their system was down too so this post is definitely a one off. Our server was extremely nice and apologetic for the delay, plus we weren't in a hurry so we didn't mind. We all travelled into Scottsdale for a team offsite so we didn't mind the extra time to chat and catch up! I'm such a sucker for chips and salsa and these were so addicting! The salsa was perfectly blended, and the chips were fresh, thin, crunchy, and slightly salted to perfection. I got the fish tacos and it was so good! I was actually so full after! Will definitely come here again if we have a team offsite in Scottsdale!
We had friends in town and they wanted to experience some bars and restaurants in Old Town so they picked Loco Patron. We stopped in on a Saturday night around 5pm and were told to sit anywhere that had already been bussed. We waited a few minutes and one of the servers was kind enough to quickly clean off a booth for us. The bar was decorated for the holidays days which was nice. There were people of all ages, even families which was also nice. It is a sports bar so they had the tv's tuned into the various games. There was a DJ playing but the music was a a decent level so we could still have a nice conversation. Our server, Dominique, was very nice. For drinks we ordered the skinny Rosa margaritas which everyone liked. The food came out quickly which was great, however, the dinner came out at the same time as the appetizers which was unfortunate. The food server was apologetic for bringing everything at the same time. For appetizers, we ordered wings and cheese curds. The wings were a little soggy so they definitely could have been more crispy but the flavor was good. The cheese curds were good while they were hot. For dinner, we ordered Mahi Mahi tacos that came with a side of spicy slaw. Both were very good. Our friends ordered the steak fajitas, a protein bowl and an order of nachos which they said was fine. I would recommend the Mahi Mahi tacos. Loco Patron is right on Scottsdale Rd so if you sit in the booths or table along the road, you may smell gas fumes like we did. The smell did get to us so we couldn't stick around for an extra cocktail. I would recommend sitting closer to inside or inside the restaurant. Loco Patron has a lot of TV's so it is a good place to catch a game, grab a drink and a bite to eat. It's right on Scottsdale Rd so great for people watching as well.
We love this place. Has a good vibe and staff is super friendly and attentive. Plenty of tvs inside and out and really feels like that local home bar. Packers games on Saturday. We usually stop by almost everyday when we are in town. Food is solid all around. Reasonably priced and very good. Taco Tuesdays is fantastic and packer game specials too. Love you guys!
Not my first time to this location and surely won't be my last. As we walked in and sat down we were greeted almost instantly. Drinks were amazing as always and the carne asada waffle fries were the best. The restaurant wasn't very busy as they had just opened so it wasn't too loud in there and we were able to have a conversation. The tables were clean and the colorful walls are always fun to look at
We were impressed by the flavor and quality of the tacos we got here for dinner last night! The Spanish rice was also great! The outdoor seating area was very pleasant, with active fans and mist to help beat the Arizona. Our waitress was super sweet, attentive, and helpful! Overall recommend! read more

Came here on a Friday night for tacos and margaritas in Old Town Scottsdale. I ordered Mango Margarita and the Street Cart Grilled Chicken Tacos with a side of fries. The tacos were amazingly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fries were well seasoned, and I also enjoyed the stuffed churros for dessert. My only suggestion would be to offer three tacos instead of two for the price, as without the fries the meal is not filling at all. Mango margarita was nice and spicy but tasted a little watered down. My friend ordered the Grande sized watermelon margarita (as pictured) and I'd definitely recommend grande size if you like stronger cocktails. Service was quick and friendly, but the atmosphere was underwhelming. For a Friday night in Old Town, I expected a much livelier crowd. I'd come back for the tacos, but for now it's a 3/5 for me. read more

We stopped by for margheritas and some snacks but didn't realize it was Fight Night (aka cage fighting on the screens). They said it would take 45 minutes to get seated, but it was so much quicker than that since the staff was organized and efficient. Hats off to them! We got 2 flavors of margheritas - prickly pear and watermelon. Both were delicious! Also ordered some chips and queso and a hard taco platter with beans and rice, which was yummy (though a challenge to eat). It was noisy and crowded, but loved the night time energy so didn't mind. Pro tip: Don't order the shredded chicken - I hear it's only average. Pork and beef were really great though. read more

Sweet place with outdoor and indoor seating. The misters are misting so it creates one of the 'coolest' places to take in a fun atmosphere, tremendous food and drinks. Absolutely the best staff I've come across! You're never a stranger at Loco! read more

We came here for trivia with a few friends. Total of 5 people at the table. For food, we got a quesadilla and the smashed potatoes. The quesadilla was pretty good and the Birria dipping sauce was seasoned well. The smashed potatoes were not as expected. For the price and size of what we got (pictured), was not acceptable. I wouldn't order these again. The service on this first time experience was truly horrible. None of us felt positive about the experience. Also being surprised by a combined bill vs split bills. When I approached the server nicely she said that they don't split bills fora table or 6 because there's 20% gratuity. I said we don't have 6 people, we have 5 and I said this is our first time here as well. She gave me a look but then split the bills. She ended up splitting the bills wrong for our friends but we were already tired and just wanted to leave. When paying with cash, they didn't even perform that correctly. I had to ask (to have the full $20 bill they gave me back), split so I could leave a tip (despite the horrendous experience). So many things wrong with this experience. I wouldn't personally recommend this place unfortunately. If you want a good quesadilla though, take it to go. read more

Was told the food was 'authentic' and 'really good', it was not. I felt like the food had no taste and it was not 'authentic'. It didn't taste anything like real Mexican food. Not even the salsa that came with the chips was spicy or had flavor to it. My margarita tasted like it was just mango juice and no alcohol in it. The booth we sat in still had leftover chip crumbs on them. The waitresses were too busy gossiping by the bar and then manager had to keep telling them to move around and do something. Our server was the only one doing her job and was super nice! Unfortunately, I will not be back. read more

This seemed like a fun spot as we walked from the parking lot. The cactus and succulent artwork on the walls is really nice. They also proudly display a Lambeau Field banner, showing love for the Green Bay Packers and claiming to be Arizona's original Packers fan club. The large bar is inside/outside patio which is very cool and there seems to be plenty of restaurant seating both indoors and on the patio. Even though the place is very colorful and inviting, once you sit down it feels a bit divey. The food is just average as well. While I like the ideas presented here, there just isn't a foundation of good food and great service. read more

Indoor and outdoor seating area. For someone who was there with my sisters & mom for a late lunch and wasn't there for the sports + socialization aspect, the outside area worked great. It was a seat-yourself option. Even though they were understaffed, I felt like we didn't have to wait long at all, and the waitress was very nice and attentive regardless. Food was good, the fries were very very good!!! Overall good experience. read more

We came to old scottsdale and hanging around the town in the first time. We wanted to eat a good Mexican food and Yelped it. We chosen Loco Patron and immediately sat down. However, we couldn't order for a long time, even though the store wasn't that crowded. Also We cleaned up the food residue on the table with paper. Finally we could ordered Tequila-lime Mahi Mahi Taco plate w blackberry bacon brussels sprouts and beer. We were unlucky and the three guys next to us were drunk and loud. We left the restaurant as soon as we finished eating. read more

I recommend the happy hour which is every weekday but Tuesday. Tuesday is taco Tuesday and their tacos are expensive and just a meh. Sorry there are better tacos Tuesdays in Phoenix. Serranos is the best. The bartenders are the best and the worst here. I have had exceptional service from the bartenders (I always sit at the bar) I've had some of the most awkward service from the bartenders. Which is unpleasant. The food is good. The atmosphere is clean. I cannot look past the hit and miss service and missed attitudes read more
Great atmosphere with the outside seating and a live DJ. There was also a pretty large menu. Service was okay. They were pretty busy as it was a weekend and during a local festival. We didn't love our food. I got the tacos and they were tasty, but I thought it was overpriced for what I got. I also think it'd be cool to customize how many tacos you want in your order and what types of tacos. I think next time I'd just go for drinks :) read more

Overall had a great experience the carne Asada fries were yummy , fries well season and enjoyed that they use white cheese. My carne asada tacos were good ! The meat was tender and I love how flavor full the rice and beans were. The shrimp tacos with avocado were delicious well battered good amount of the sauce. And the coconut shrimp tacos Were crispy coconut sauce was creamy over all the best Mexican sport bar I've been too. They had good music even tho it was a little on the loud side. Me and my sister enjoyed dancing a bit to the music. It was seat anywhere so we didn't have to wait. The food came out at a timely manner! Can't wait to come back ! read more
