Food that you can only get in Tucson

Sonoran Hot Dogs

Picture of Sonoran Hot Dogs

These are our favorite hot dogs. Way better than New York hot dogs for sure. Sorry, not sorry. It's a bacon wrapped dog with beans, picco de dgallo, dressings and a spicy grilled chilli on the side.


You can often find small food carts at the side of the road selling them. Most of those food carts are cash only. They are also served at local restaurants. Here's a link to a few of them
