    For a little hole-in-the-wall spot, this place is fantastic. Authentic cuisine with everything fresh and made to order. The prices are great, the tacos are loaded with meat, and the Sonoran dogs are delicious. The complimentary salsa bar was a standout and made the experience even better. Definitely a fun place to check out and another great example of the awesome food Tucson has to offer.

    I loved this place. It is nice inside and the owner is friendly. I've had many Sonoran dogs in the area and this hotdog was the best I've had. I did get the Chipilon 501, so perhaps it cheating because it has Carne Asada on the top, it was very good!! The space is nice and clean as well. It's a little more expensive than your average Sonoran Dog but the quality is worth it.

    Tostidog for the win!!!

    Stopped by Hotdogs 501 recently and really enjoyed it. It's a small, family-owned spot that just opened, and you can tell a lot of care goes into what they're making. I ordered the taco de asada, taco 501, and a tostidog. The asada taco was simple and solid -- well-seasoned meat and a good balance of flavors. The taco 501 was different in a good way and ended up being my favorite. The tostidog was fun, filling, and exactly what you want when you're craving something a little indulgent. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the people working there were friendly and appreciative of the support. It's always nice finding a new local place that feels genuine and isn't trying too hard. I'm glad I checked it out and will definitely be back to try more. If you're in the area and looking to support a family business, it's worth stopping by!

    Finally got to check out this spot and. What an ABSOLUTELY SOLID Sonoran dog they are putting out here. They smoke their hotdogs for a bit before firing them up so they have a very distinct smokiness to them that blends in insanely well with the existing staples of a Sonoran dog. Not to mention the beef chicharrón that kicks it up. These dogs are built different and the only thing I can say is to try them yourself. The place is family ran, literally, so the service is great and attentive. They have seating inside and outside too if your not looking to grab and go as well so that was nice. The vibe inside is very calm and clean not what you'd expect from the chaos on main st. just outside, I thought that was impressive alone. Parking can seem confusing at first but just pull into the alley and find a spot.

    I was really excited to check out Hot Dogs 501 with my friend the other night and it did not disappoint!. We opted to sit inside (the dining area is bigger than it looks,) but there's also a large outdoor seating area out back. We both ordered a Hot Dog, which is really a Sonoran dog, and very, very good. We also each had a taco- I tried the Taco 501 and she had the Taco de Asada. Both were very tasty, and we enjoyed sampling the different salsas at the salsa bar. Our server was so friendly and the food came out fast. The space is very cute, with all sorts of potted house plants on display, and eventually for sale. And it's nice to have another Sonoran dog option in the neighborhood. Welcome, Hot Dogs 501!

    First time being here and it was an awesome experience. Food was excellent and the owner came over and talked to us for a little bit.

    Stopped in here for lunch with a coworker because it's right by my work. We couldn't get over how good everything was! I had the Taco 501. I was iffy about the price but it ended up being enough to make two tacos, and felt like a meal. The crunchy little chicharrón bits mixed with the asada were heavenly. My coworker loved his hot dog and we both picked off of the Tostidog, which we brought back to work to share and everyone loved. Can't wait to go back next time I need a quick lunch or a cute meeting spot.

    Lights out! Hands down the best Sonoran food in the desert. Dodgy neighborhood, extremely well maintained interior and lovely, family staff. Get the basic hot dog with everything. So good.

    The food was amazing. Come on with the friendly staff and timely service. Had a great time going with my friends after a long and tiring day. I would definitely recommend going again and again over and over just the aroma of the food emanating from the backside and the ambience of the entire place with something I could always ask for Great place 10 out of 10. Lighting is bright with a modern and scenic inside reminds you of the beauty of Tucson architecture.

    Regular hot dog.

    The bread is awesome. The hot dog great flavor. The sausage is quality. Fresh ingredientes and fast service. Ambience is quiet and relax. Great service from the two ladies working here. Food was served quick. Definitely recommended.

    Oh Mama! One never knows when love strikes...until you take that first bite of a Chipilon 501 Sonoran Hot Dog! Oh my goodness! I have never tasted a better hot dog, and I'm a big fan! Even more surprisingly, my girlfriend who rarely eats a hot dog proclaimed her hot dog the best she's ever had too! Seriously, the food here is amazing! I literally had to bite through the toppings a couple of times to actually hit the dog, but every mouthful was delicious. Every bit, from the steamed bun to the beef crackling to the beans and bacon and guac, cheese, and steak...excuse me, I'm drooling on my keyboard again! Yum! The space is relatively tiny, but super cute, clean, and inviting. The staff was friendly and charming, and, for this paramount gastronomic experience, the (low) price was unbelievable. The menu may appear a bit limited, but you're just going to have one of these fantastic dogs anyway, so it's an easy choice. Seriously, get over to Hot Dogs 501 now! My only complaint is that they're located in Tucson--and I live in Phoenix! Wah!!! I'm already looking for any excuse to return to Hot Dogs 501!

    Wow wow wow! Amazing tacos and Sonoran dogs!

    I really like Korean corn dogs. I like the chewy texture of the crust and melty mozzarella. I even…read moreusually like the sugar topping, but this most recent visit was just not up to snuff. The staff was incredibly sweet and made me feel welcome. I ordered the combo meal with a corn dog, fries, and a drink ($13), selecting the crispy rice corn dog (half cheese, half dog, of course), kimchi fries, and a taro boba (additional $2). Unfortunately, the crispy rice and sugar combo was just nooooot the right move. I definitely should have picked something else because the texture of the crispy rice was dry, and coupled with the sugar... It was just not a great experience to say the least, haha. The kimchi fries were flavorful and crunchy, so I have no complaints about that. But the boba... Hooooly. It was the worst boba I've ever had, and that's not an exaggeration. The texture of the taro (milk tea??) was close to pudding, so it was like I was chewing my drink--which is the expectation when you're eating *boba*, but not drinking *tea*. The flavor was decent, but it was so difficult to drink because it was just thick and gooey. It was genuinely horrendous. Worse yet, the boba was wrong! The tapioca pearls weren't sweet and chewy; instead, they were cakey and broke in one bite! No chew, no flavor, then combine it with the gooey, pudding-like taro "milk tea" makes for the worst boba drink ever. Overall, I can't write off Two Hands because I KNOW that their other corn dogs are good, but DO NOT waste your money on a boba. Just hop across the street for Ni Hao Tea.

    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.
