"This is a lively place to sit at the bar and people watch. The tacos are excellent."

"This review solely reflects the security of this establishment and not anything related to the food or other service. When trying to get a table for the second half of the 2024 Super Bowl, I was incredibly rudely and in an unprecedentedly unprofessional manner by the restaurant’s security out front “we don’t want your business here. get lost” among a plethora of other ways of saying the same when my group and I asked if we could talk to a host or hostess about a wait for a tables. When I asked to speak to the manager, he said “I am the manager, the security manager, and I’m telling you we don’t want your business here, just keep walking”. When I went around to the side door in an effort to try to get in touch with a restaurant manager, I was met by the same man saying the same things. I can’t believe this business would hire someone like that who talks to customers who want to give them their business when they have many other local options in such a manner. Two days later I called the general manager of the business who apologized and did not excuse the behavior while also stating the possible reason for this slip up to be having just experienced the crowds of the WM Open all weekend and all the staff were stressed out from it. As someone with friends and family in the service industry, i understand this but also cannot accept that under any circumstance the things that were said to us were in any way shape or form an acceptable way to speak to customers. Not to mention the security man stood up from his chair in front of me and in my face for no reason other than to intimidate us away. I feel we did not warrant this altercation by any means—all i had requested was to speak to a hostess about a wait time for a table. I understood that the restaurant was full but when restaurants are full there is still a way to wait for a table which we were willing to do. The security man was so incredibly rude I was left in disbelief. Again, this review is not meant to reflect the establishment as a whole, over the phone the general manager was apologetic and hospitable, but it really should offer the right training to the security agent on how to professionally speak to customers as it seems the individual wanted to go on a power trip. I would hope Loco Patron would think twice about how the public is met at the door as the first point of contact and impression of its business."

"I'm not sure why we hadn't tried this before but I'm glad we did! Food is incredible and the staff is awesome! We'll definitely be back here often! Shout out to Adam who works here. Good guy"

"This is my spot for taco Tuesday. Located right in old town Scottsdale and close to home for me. So many great specials available and I love the margaritas here. The mix they use has such a good flavor. Definitely take advantage of the Tuesday specials. They also have a big patio with a dj playing a couple nights a week."

"Shrimp fajitas were good! Bar atmosphere with the game on plenty of TVs!! Had a good time but I wouldn't take my kids there."
