This place was my first bite into the iconic local Sonoran hot dog. I shouldn't have waited. I haven't eaten meat for decades but they have a veggie dog option and it's very good. I get it loaded with everything because it all works. This little food cart is worth the drive and the guys running it have the routine drilled in so you won't wait long. This place is on my list of places to take out-of-town friends.

We were in Tucson for my wifes birthday, and I wanted to stop here for some hot dogs. I was here…read morelast year and it was the best Sonoran Dog I had ever had. Still true! I ordered 3 dogs, no mayo. Honestly, could have probably ate 5 or 6. They are THAT GOOD! My intent was to eat all 3, but then my kids were like "Let me get a bite". Well, they ate a whole one between them, my son proclaiming it was "The best hot dog I've ever had in my life". You are correct, Son! These things just hit different! The griddled bun is perfection, the dog is plump and meaty and wrapped in bacon, the toppings are streamlined so it's not too messy. The dude making them is super friendly, chatting it up with every customer. Just amazing. Worth the 2.5 hour drive from Surprise just for these dogs...seriously! So good, I will crave them until I come back down to Tucson to get some more!

For a place that has the word "dog" in the name ....you'd think their hot dogs tasted better. I…read moreordered a jumbo dog and that was still a small hot dog. The jumbo should be the usual size they serve no matter what. I went in there wanting a bagel dog but they didn't have any bagels. So then I wanted a soup because I saw that on Yelp but they didn't have any soup either. So what do they have ? Just tiny dogs ? And by the way when the menu states cheese ....they need to specify that it's nacho cheese. Not everybody assumes you're going to pour nacho cheese all over my hot dog. Who's running this place anyway ?

Brucedog is located in a location of Tucson I have never been at before. Being close to the mountains is scenic. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with a paucity of signage. There were two young women working upon their opening at 1100 who were friendly. The place appeared to be clean. Their offerings are unique and worthy of giving them a try. https://www.kgun9.com/news/community-inspired-journalism/westside-news/the-brucedog-lives-on-at-this-westside-brick-and-mortar-restaurant

The best little stop for a Sonoran dog, just an hour south of Phoenix! I tried this spot on the way…read moreback from a hike at Picacho Peak -- just a short drive down from Hotdogs Alvarado -- and loved the quick, convenient, classic AZ meal. This place is a hidden gem. It's a tiny hot dog stand across from Flying J that's pretty easy to miss even if you're looking for it. It doesn't even have a menu. But just step up to order the Sonoran hot dog -- grab a Mexican Coke or Jarritos if you wish -- and pay in cash for a satisfying post-hike or mid-drive meal. Nothing fancy, but so good. Despite being loaded with beans, tomatoes, and plenty of condiments, the bun doesn't fall apart. And the hot dogs were packed well enough that I could easily eat in the car. Will be back if I'm hiking in the area again!

We were in an uber when we passed by the little shack on the corner of the street and I knew it had to be good. I looked it up on Yelp immediately and saw it had such great reviews. We finally got the chance to go on our way to the airport to fly home. It did not disappoint! It's a small truck with a seating enclosure attached and they only serve hot dogs, chips, and drinks. We both ordered a Sonoran dog with everything and it was delicious! The bread is soft, yet toasty, and all of the toppings are great! I know there are a ton of hot dog places in Tucson, but I definitely recommend Ruiz Hot Dogs!

Came in Sunday after church. I was unsure about what to order but the cashier, Manny, was able to…read morethoroughly answer all my questions. I love corn dogs and hotdogs in general so I was pretty excited to try this. I decided on the American dog which was so so so good. They did this perfectly. Sweet cornmeal outside with a delicious beef dog on the inside. The cornmeal coating had good flavor but the texture was softer, like it's mixed with flour. The taste was still sweet and reminiscent of a traditional corndog. I also got the Two Hands dog, half beef and half mozz. It was surprisingly good. I got the ranch on the side. The flavor was unique, slightly sweet and slightly savory. It did not have a huge amount of flavor which made it pair really well with the delicious tangy ranch. The breading for the this was flour so the texture is softer. The mozzarella was interesting and there was a lot of it. Both dogs were huge. I'd say 2 is a good amount for dinner and it came out to $11. I would come back! I think it's an interesting and fun concept that is executed well. I'd probably get this same exact order again.

The cashier was as friendly as another I had last week and just smiled her way throughout. We both had the delicious Chicago style dogs , shared French fries and I had ice tea to drink. My mom had the chocolate eclair cake and I, the chocolate cake. Everything delicious- and yes dogs shared her fries! The cakes? My goodness, frosting on both super good and cakes textures both soft and delicious. Highly recommend all of it!

He followed her out and was so kind when I remembered I needed to order a couple hotdogs only got our "kids" and he brought those out when ready as well. He pet my dog and was so kind.
