“ One of the best chipilone Sonoran dogs I’ve had , pepper in bacon and cheese was one of the best also. Going back for a second time! ”
“ Always amazing, I just wish every bacon wrapped chile was spicy! Oh, what an awesome flavor explosion!!! ”
“ Best Sonoran hot dog ever! My wife hates hot dogs and this 10 min experience changed her. Well balanced flavors and nice selection of condiments and spices. Highly recommend adding some of the pickled red onions and salsa. Made it memorable for sure. The hot dog comes with a wonderful bacon wrapped guiera pepper with yummy cheese inside. A little spicy but not bad, tasty! Two food trucks with covered outdoor seating. Other Mexican fare also available but didn’t try. Thousands of Sonoran hot dog options here in TUS but this has been the best yet. Will be back for sure for the hot dog and maybe a taco? ”

“ Two Sonoran Hot Dogs for the low low price of 4 each. They were absolutely delicious, the bacon wrapped jalapenos were the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend! ”
