- 143 Street Tacos (Sierra Vista)
Google/Thom Clark
Google/Kelly Lugo This tiny little food cart offers a two-for-one special every Wednesday, so be sure to get there early! By mid-afternoon, they’re usually sold out because so many people take advantage of the deal. You’ll find 143 Street Tacos at 255 W Wilcox Dr., Sierra Vista, AZ 85635.
- Wild Dogs (Benson)
TripAdvisor/Management
TripAdvisor/qvdebbie As a restaurant serving nothing but dogs, this unique joint dishes out plenty of different varieties. While everything here is delicious, the Sonoran Dog certainly holds its own among the wide array of menu options. Try it for yourself at 705 W 4th St., Benson, AZ 85602.
- Taqueria Con El Nene (Tucson)
Google/Peter Jackson
Google/Linda Larson Taqueria Con El Nene is one of the most popular food trucks in Arizona, recognized statewide for its out-of-this-world tacos and Sonoran Dogs. It might be located in a gas station parking lot, but that sure doesn’t stop crowds from lining up! The address is 65 W Valencia Rd., Tucson, AZ 85706.
- El Sinaloense Hot Dog Cart (Tucson)
Google/Steve Shermett
Google/Fady Charbel This unassuming spot definitely doesn’t have much going for it in terms of appearance, but what it lacks in ambiance, it makes up for tenfold in taste. You’ll find some of Tucson’s very best Sonoran Dogs here, and it’s a shame El Sinaloense is still such a hidden gem. You’ll find the cart at 1526 N Alvernon Way, Tucson, AZ 85712.
- BK Tacos (Tucson)
Google Maps
Google/Niko R Hot dogs aren’t all that this iconic joint serves, but they’re the reason most people visit. With two stores in town, you have no excuse not to stop by sometime! You’ll find the location shown above at 2680 N 1st Ave., Tucson, AZ 85719.
- Micky’s Hot Dogs (Mesa)
Google/Juan Torres
TripAdvisor/PghTravelGirl87 Micky’s is a cash-only, no-frills eatery with Sonoran Dogs and several other varieties.

- Simon’s Hot Dogs (Scottsdale)
Google/Vincent Salazar

- Nogales Hot Dogs (Phoenix)
Google/Willie Young
Google/Adrian Jaramillo Open later than most traditional restaurants, Nogales Hot Dogs is the perfect solution for those pesky midnight cravings. Unique toppings like guacamole and mushrooms put an interesting twist on the original Sonoran Dog recipe, giving your taste buds a little something different. You’ll find the food truck at 1945 E Indian School Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85016.
- Doglicious Hot Dogs (Glendale)
Google/Joshua Kobold
