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 [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was underwhelming. For a Friday night in Old Town, I expected a much livelier crowd.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd come back for the tacos, but for now it's a 3/5 for me. read more

Loco Patron - Soft Taco Plate - Sports Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Way too loud in this place to think, or have a conversation... ok, I'm old![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. --. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place had a nice vibe with a DJ playing music during the commercials so we got music and football to accompany our margaritas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

Came here in hopes of some decent food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have to admit, the ambiance matched what I thought the food would taste like.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was super kind. The food was very much Taco Bell-ish ... we just made things up on the menu type. If you're just looking to go drink and watch sports and don't care about authentic cuisine, this is your go to spot. They have plenty of TV's playing different sports. I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for something to fill your palate. Tried the queso skillet dip lol it's literally corn with melted cheese. I will not be back here. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]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![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

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.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Come on down to this hole of racism on the boulevard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not only did we wait 15 minutes but the eye stare from the local whites is hilariously less than normal.

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. read more

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. read more

Loco Patron - Outside heated patio does not disappoint! - Sports Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

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. read more

Loco Patron - Best wings!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Stopped in Friday night with my fiancée and some friends who were visiting from out of town. Been to Loco Old Town a handful of times and even stopped at the one in North Scottsdale once. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's always great - the service, the food and the vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've never had anything to eat that I didn't like and the drinks are amazing as well.

On my last night in Phoenix me and my colleagues recently visited this place before going our separate ways. It was pretty busy inside but our hostess was really friendly and accomdating throughout our entire visit. She was warm, friendly and engaging! Most of the guests were in their late 20s and 30s with a great party vibe! Food here was incredible, I settled for their basic dinner taco sandwiches and a variety of cocktails and mules. Solid food menu that features tons of delicious items and sharables! Their chips and salsa upon entering were addicting! Pretty comprehensive drink menu. Restrooms were solid! Would happily come back again. read more

I'm really glad we came here. A bunch of friends and I were here for the Final Four Weekend and I don't know how but someone was able to get a table for a group of around 7. The highlight of this place is the location and atmosphere. The patio is really, really cool. Nice and open but still shaded, lively, and fun. There's plenty of TVs to watch whatever sporting event you like; when we were there, we had the women's college basketball championship. And the location is super convenient in beautiful Old Town Scottsdale. The food is alright. I got the shrimp ceviche. It was alright. Overall, neat place. Super glad we came, and I would definitely recommend it as a fun place to go with a group. 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

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

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was great, place is a fun hangout, and I was happy to see they have Kim Crawford Sauv blanc in addition to their long list of beers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My lunch was disappointing, I ordered shrimp ceviche, only it seemed to be missing the shrimp after discussing this with our server, I was told the shrimp is in there. It's just cut very very small. I would say cut so small would require a microscope to find. She talked to the owner and apparently he's told his staff to start cutting the shrimp in larger pieces. However, I must say if I got one whole shrimp in that bowl of ceviche it would've been a miracle. read more

Been going to LP for 10 years and last night the food was awful and so expensive. New owners?? First they had 1 waitress for the whole patio which was very busy due to Final Four championship game. After 20 minutes the bouncer off duty tracked down a waitress for us. 4 tablespoons of guac was $9. No salsa is given with the chips. They charge for a very small dish $2.50. Again the off duty bouncer got the salsa. My girlfriend's ordered a cheese enchilada and we searched. There was no cheese. The green sauce tasted sour. I have lived on street cart tacos for 10 years and they were so dry. No sauce and no cheese. Barf! Plus the plate used have 3 tacos now they offer 2. Super disappointing and will source other Mexican restaurants in the future. read more

So I've been here several times and good place but today wasn't the best service. My first margarita was ok and then I ordered a 2nd one and it wasn't as good it tasted very sweet and bitter and so I told the waitress and they remade it only this time it tasted as if it was made with jalapeño juice or tequila. Again I kindly asked of it was possible to remake and she took the drink amd she never came back. Was their waiting for almost 30 minutes until just leaving. I know its a busy place but you need to have better customer service, if im paying $20 for a drink then it should taste good, it just didn't taste how it usually does and the waitress seemed annoyed for me asking kindly if it could be remade again. I lost $20 not getting my drink. read more

Good place definitely coming back soon a great time ! It's in the area so it's fun to go visit!

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

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.

Fun spot to watch a game! Plenty of TVs and outdoor/indoor space. We came in on Saturday during the NCAA tournament so it was fairly busy but we were able to get a table within 5 minutes and service was great! I really enjoyed my skinny prickly pear margarita and we also really liked the carne asada fries which were made with waffle fries - yum! Would definitely get those again! I got the coconut shrimp tacos which were tasty but I didn't love the sauce on them, but it wasn't overpowering. I liked the coconut shrimp and was able to eat them out of the tacos to avoid the sauce. We finished with the skillet cookie which was delicious as well and we left extremely full. 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
