Food was soooo good! Came here for lunch, shoestring fries are the bomb! KELSEY... great service with a smile! She is attentive, gracious, and helpful! Ambiance: music was great a blast from the past, yet not so loud you couldn't talk. Seats are super comfy. Seriously, this place was amazing! read more

This is a very hard place to find- there's no signage and it's tucked away in the back of an Old Town strip mall. There's also very poor air circulation given that it's a sports bar it can get very hot inside. I ordered a single cheeseburger with a side of onion rings and it was $9.75 not a bad price for a sport bar in Old Town. It came with the "works" per say. Lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and a special sauce which was pink- almost tasted like a aïoli. If you are into sports this would be a great place to go as the food is fairly well priced, is pretty good tasting and I don't think anything is frozen or at least it tasted like it was all fresh. A few cons are there isn't service at your table and you have to go up to the bar to order. There is only one area you can order for both food + drinks. The rest of the bar you cannot order even if you are sitting close to the bartender. read more

If you want the best burger you have ever had, come to this place. A little dive style bar in the middle of old town. An absolute gem. We had like multiple Conversations with patrons who were also all blown away and addicted to their food. Kasey was our bartender, and she was very attentive and personable. Get a burger, get either fries or onion rings. You will be hooked for life. OH and they also have a punch card, buy 9 items get your 10th free. ARE U KIDDING!!! I will be back like once a week or more. read more

My boyfriend and I had originally had dinner reservations at a different restaurant but it wasnt open quite yet. Wandered into El Camino to get a drink before our original plans, however the deals were so good here we decided to stay. We were going to go to 40 love for a late valentine's celebration as we both worked that weekend. But seeing how reasonable prices were we canceled our original plan and got ourselves a feast here! We got poverty nachos, gringo tacos, I got a single smash burger with fries and my boyfriend got the double smash burger and naked wings. This place was such a great find that we happened to stumbleupon. The bartenders were very nice and friendly and the business filled up so quickly that you know its quite popular. There were also so many regulars that stopped by too we noticed. I would definitely come back. For old town Scottsdale I would say this place has the best prices. The burger was so good too!!! read more

Total Friday night gem! We dropped in for a casual dinner and, despite the Scottsdale Friday rush, had a great experience. * The Vibe: Busy and energetic. Parking is tough, but manageable. * The Wait: About 45 minutes for food (they were slammed!), but the service was friendly and our drinks stayed full. * The Food: Incredible. The onion rings are some of the best we've ever had, and the skinny fries are a must-try. Both the chicken sandwich and burger were fresh and flavorful. Yes, it was busy, but the food is worth the wait. We'll be back! read more

At home and lazy, looking for a quick and simple burger and fries. In a recent Phoenix magazine, an old Scottsdale dive, El Camino was featured. This is a simple bar with inexpensive and good food. We ordered the bacon smash burger, fries, order of rings and ground beef soft tacos. The sweet onion jam, bacon smash burger with lettuce, tomato and pickles was simple, tasty and a great sweet crunch. It needed no sauce and was crunchy at the edges. The shoestring fries and rings were frozen, not homemade. The ground beef taco to no one's surprise was fair and lacked flavor. Overall, the value was good and food was ok, except for the bacon smash burger, nicely done. The service was fair as it is bar. I would return for a quick meal but not a great dining experience as one would expect. If you are in old Scottsdale and looking for a quick , simple and reasonable meal, give El Camino a try. read more

This bar is in a good location near all the shops. I really enjoyed my spicy margarita! The prices are pretty good too!! The food selection seems hearty and great for a quick bite. The vibes were a little off. The service wasn't particularly friendly or helpful. I wanted another cocktail after my margarita and had questions about the menu, but it was taken from me before I could speak. read more

El Camino absolutely delivered. Great atmosphere, awesome food, and the service was even better. Maddie took incredible care of us. She was personable, fun, on top of everything, and made the whole experience feel relaxed instead of rushed. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it made a huge difference. The only thing I have to question is her judgment... she said they don't like their onion bacon jam. I'm sorry, but that's absolute crack and belongs on everything. If you go, order something with it. Trust me. We'll definitely be back, and hopefully Maddie has come around on the onion bacon jam by then. read more

Loved it! We ate dinner at the bar while watching the Kentucky Derby. Bartenders were friendly & helpful when we asked questions on the menu. I got a single small burger w/the most delish skinny fries - cooked crispy as I asked. My husband got the fried chicken sandwich w/the same fries & devoured it. Our drinks were good & really enjoyed the atmosphere. NOTE - 1 bathroom only - sometimes there is a wait. No waitress service at the tables - you must order at the bar & they will bring it out to you. read more

El Camino - Delish single smash burger with excellent crispy fries at a great price! - Burgers Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

First of all the interior of this place is a whole vibe! Clean, new but old school appearing small town bar vibes, they nailed it. Plenty of TVs and good sound system to watch sports. The smashburger was the best we've found in Scottsdale by FAR. Beats out lots of the popular places. The buns are perfectly soft, burgers smashed and flavorful. We opted to forgo the Lettuce and tomato, and substitute for caramelized onion. House sauce is wonderfully seasoned and tasty. Not to forget, the shoestring fries are cooked to a beautiful golden crisp perfection. Add on a side of ranch for a perfect pairing! Prices are right, we will certainly be returning customers and recommending this place to others! read more

Sensational!!! The reviews are right. It's the best Smashburger of my life. Visiting from NYC and love a good Smashburger and this spot does it so perfectly - it's got such a classic, incredible taste to it. The crispy meat, the dressing, the lettuce, the potato bun. Divine. And the whole place has got this retro, classic, charming feel too. Such a great spot for a drink, the best burger, and a view of the game. Would come back weekly if I lived nearby. 5 stars!!!! read more

Came here for lunch with my wife on a Saturday afternoon. Love the old school feel of the bar. Sat at the bar with Maddie and she did a great job! Had the whole place and she rocked it. Ate the double smash burger and it was so tasty. Shoestring fries were excellent as well, highly recommend! read more

Makenna is the smiling bright star of a bartender that will keep you coming back (besides the good food)! Love you freckles!

Best burger in old town with the best prices and best service. Kenna is the best and always makes sure everyone is taken care of

This place has the best restaurant burger I've ever had and I don't reallly like burgers but I'd come back here for a burger. The wings and fries were good too. The service was amazing, the bar tender came over and took our order and was so attentive, friendly and on top of things. read more

My new favorite bar/restaurant in the Scottsdale area. Amazing staff, great food, and a super chill vibe. If you're looking for laid-back energy with really good food, this is your spot. It has a dive-bar feel--but elevated, if that makes sense. read more

Grammy got that vibe here, lit place for games, drinks, and even some decent food. Wish that you didn't have to walk up and wait in line to order food but it's well worth it to enjoy a nice glass of Hennessy while watching the Knicks put BTA read more

Just left. This is a youngins bar. Burgers average at best. Tacos were cold. Cosmo martini awful. Go next door to THE ENDS

Fun little "dive-bar" with cowboy-diner/ western vibe. We sat at the bar and had a drink. Prices are great and menu looks amazing, but we only tried the fries. Bartender was friendly. Nice spot in old town. Will definitely be back! read more

Twice for lunch in three days. Hands down good homey vibe and the food is more than reasonably priced for outstanding quality. Service prompt and friendly. To all the people complaining about the temperature of the fries, they are shoestring and tasty but dont stay warm forever - eat them first and stop your complaining you rookies..Thanks for our new local burger joint when we are in town! read more

I used to love this place but after they hired a new bartender, I literally can't get my order correct. If I ask to have it corrected, she f's it up even more. IF I come back I'll literally walk right back out if she's working. To be honest, most of the time I come here, the server/bartender has the 1000 yard stare like they just came back from "the war." Management appears to be nonexistent which is too bad because the food, location, and ambiance is great. The service is so bad it's hard to justify coming back. read more

Tasty food, great prices with an Old Town hipster vibe. The smash burger was delicious but you might want to add an extra patty or two. Fries were some of the best in Scottsdale - crispy shoestring. If you're not at the bar ordering is walk up and then it's delivered to your table. read more

New hidden gem in Old Town with outstanding smash burgers! Great prices, friendly staff, and a cool old-school vibe with lots of TVs. Ordered the bacon smash burger and added a fried egg and it was decadent. Onion rings were solid as were the string fries. I'm excited to explore more of the menu next time although it will be hard not to order another burger... read more

Much needed addition to old town. I stopped in for a couple of drinks like 2 weeks ago and had a good experience. Nothing pretentious about this place, cheap drinks, friendly service. Very refreshing considering most places in old town are unoriginal and overpriced... not that I don't love them but still... Will be back soon! read more

Really like this place! The burgers and fries are awesome at a great price! The day I was there the bartender was also the server. I did see a couple tables come in and leave without ordering. Not sure if it was the noise volume from a nearby table or the wait for service, but sitting at the bar we had no complaints! read more

Welp this is disappointing. I'll start with the fact that I'm here weekly. However, today absolutely missed the mark. Starting with being out of several beers, including both can and draft. It just so happens that they were also out of onion rings as well. To boot, the fries and burgers came out cold. With the lettuce, tomato or pickle missing on the side. Granted there was only one person working, but so was amount of guests in the restaurant. so it was not an ideal lunch. I love this place, and recommend it to near everyone I come across but if this wants to be considered a scottsdale staple, this was boarderline inexcusable. I can understand being out a few items, but it is also Wednesday. There is little to no excuse at that point for today since they should be ready for the bachelor and bachelorette parties coming into town. I will be back, but only because I know how good it can be. read more

Small menu but I love that about this bar. Casual, non-bougee, unpretentious laid back vibe, the kind of place I can kick back & invite all my friends to. I loved their hard shell tacos & smash burger w/ fries. Their prices is unheard of for Old Town Scottsdale. I love a place that you don't have to be dressed up since I was here to catch some football. Great service from bartenders, attentive & friendly. I hope this bar sticks around for a very long time. read more

El Camino - Smash burger with shoe string fries. - Burgers Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Stopped by to grab a quick to go order. Was able to easily place my order up at the bar. This spot just opened up in old town and has some great pricing that I've never seen anywhere else. Double smash burger with fries for under $10! Great smash burger that came with a ton of well seasoned fries. The fried chicken sandwich could have used a sauce but overall everything was delicious. read more

First, the classic double burger was very good. And probably worth $9.45 on it's own. However, it comes with fries, which is awesome and an unbeatable value especially for the heart of Old Town. BUT the fries were COLD, which is a cardinal sin. Basically inedible. If either of the servers had asked me how things were I would have mentioned it. But alas, no one checked in, and even when I left the huge pile of fries on the tray she just asked if I wanted a box. I understand that shoestring fries go cold quicker and these would have been great if they were hot. But they were cold and therefore greasy too. Because they're shoestring, You've gotta change your cooking process so that each order of fries is made to order and timed to come out of the fryer just before the order leaves the window. Otherwise, cold fries. The ranch was also not good. Surely came from an industrial sized vat of cheap ranch. Wish they made their own. The Heinz glass ketchup bottles are nice though. Parking can be tricky especially on weekends. Cool space, nice TVs, nice wall of windows that open to the sidewalk. No patio which is a bummer. Only one stall bathroom for this large restaurant and it's directly in front of the kitchen door (yuck) and with one of those loud air-assisted flushing toilets (can hear it from 100% of the restaurant) which is annoying and an oversight to put it in that location and only have one. Asked for carmelized onions but didn't get them. Oh well, at least they took off the $.50 upcharge. The add-ons are very reasonable ($.50). Menu clarity could be improved. The "sandwich" sections says you can get fries or a green salad for the same price. Burger section just says fries. The Bacon and El Camino descriptions need to clarify how many patties are on each burger. The American Cobb salad needs a description. I hope this place makes it, corrects the issues above, and keeps their prices ridiculously low! read more

I was in town and stopped at this real fun bar. Everything was great but our bartender Madi made all the difference. She was great! Great drinks and even better conversations. Can't recommend this place more! read more

Great food, reasonable prices, excellent service. Would definitely recommend. The restaurant is a little hard to find but so worth it.

I'm surprised this place isn't more busy! The coolest atmosphere on the inside and super cheap drinks and food. I like to come on Sundays to watch the game or play cards with some friends read more

GREAT PLACE. If you're on the fence, bored, and looking for a change, this is it. Great little restaurant. Small, comfortable and the service was excellent. Also, reasonably priced, which seems to be rare these days. Make the effort, and give it a try. read more

Great new spot in old town. Good prices are really good! Less than $10 for a burger and fries. For starters we got hot wings and the onion rings. The wings were really good, spicy and saucy. Onion rings were good. For mains we got the double cheese smash burger with fries and the Gringo Tacos. The smash burger was so good. Amazing. The gringos tacos were good as well. Hard shells, plain non-spiced ground beef, sour cream, tomato's and lettuce. If you're a gringo these are right up your alley. We asked for house margaritas and they were very good as well. Also note that it's bar service not table service. Very casual atmosphere, grab a menu at the door and seat yourself. read more

Maddie was amazing!! She handled our intoxicated party with ease and grace. This girl deserves a raise!!!!

Best burgers in old town. Service is simple and quick. There is bar seating normally open which is a plus.

A great spot to walk in. Great burgers and fun for watching sports! Right near the waterfront area with a lot to do!
