I went out of my way to try them for Sonoran Restaurant Week. I planned my errands around this. I show up when they showed open on Instagram, Google, Yelp, and the sign in the window. I missed the Instagram story that said they were closed that day. No clue what their food tasted like as they have closed. The place is a modest brick building with not very much parking. Unfortunately they seemed to close during Sonoran Restaurant Week which they were advertised as a participant. Was this a sign of why they closed? read more

Hot Dogs 501 - They're not open at 1015 AM. I checked Google before coming and tried to call - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

To date...THE BEST Sonoran hot dog I have eaten. Parking can be tricky,,but there is a big dirt lot behind the storefront. Ambiance/Cleanliness-they cook it in the trailer, serve it up in a charming orange building with a cute seating area in back. 4 stars. Service-Co-owner/cook Sinthia Nolasco and server Alma were attentive, gave good advice and offered warm welcome. 5 stars. Food-Stupid good! I got the Chipilon 501 and Sonoran dog. Fat ass, girthy all beef hot dogs, smoky, chewy thick cut bacon, custom bun from Alejandro's (Which i recommend toasted...these dogs are a hot mess in the best possible way). The Chipilon differs from the usual with a thick cheese crust and chopped carne asada. Beef cracklings and ketchup are not the usual either and they add aguacate as well. I had to work hard to eat both dogs...and although i need a nap...it would be a happy sleep. 5 stars read more

We were the only ones when we walked in since it was between lunch and dinner time. There are tables to sit inside and you can order to eat inside or carry out. The first time we came they were closed for the Sonoran hot dog contest. Good news: the won! And we came back. The sodas and waters are canned and in a case. The menu is simple which is how it should be. We ordered the Chipilon 501 without the bacon. All the food is prepared outside in a food truck. The verdict: amazing!!!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Hot Dogs 501 - Tostidog for the win!!! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

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. read more

Hot Dogs 501 - The Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

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! read more

This place is amazing! Went on a whim with my friends and we got the carne asada dog and it was life changing lol. The owner was super friendly and gave us a tour. Definitely my new go to spot, and the salsa bar is the cherry on top. read more

Hot Dogs 501 - Believe it or not there is a huuuuuge hot dog under there. The other 2 were for my friend i promise - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

This little place is absolutely adorable and unfortunately that is where the magic ends. We stopped in around 1 p.m. on a weekday and ordered two hot dogs 501 style and a carne asada burrito also 501 style. Unless you enjoy turning your meal into a full jaw workout I would suggest skipping the 501 style altogether. The wait felt unnecessarily long and once the food finally arrived it just did not live up to the anticipation. My partner and I make a hobby out of trying hot dog and carne asada spots because it is our favorite kind of date and yes we proudly love hot dogs. Sadly this one missed the mark. Cute spot but if hot dogs are your love language this probably is not your place. read more

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. read more

the chipilon 501 is the best hotdog I have ever had in my life. Amazing customer service they gave us free tostidogs to try out those were amazing too. Vibes are great with the mexican music will definitely be returning. read more

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! read more

We decided to give HDs501 a try this past Saturday but after arriving at 11:40 am we parked and noticed no cars parked and what appeared to be a closed shop. We did try the entry door and went inside and found no one, no patrons, no management, no workers, no nobody! We did yell out to try to find someone but left after a few minutes and went elsewhere for our lunch. I guess it doesn't deserve a one star but certainly two! Not sure we will return. read more

Great Sonoran hot dogs! The space is clean and beautiful, and the service was fast and friendly. Bonus: they have seating indoor and outdoor. You can tell that the owner has a very green thumb - gorgeous plants everywhere! read more

Definitely among the best Sonoran dogs in town! You won't regret finding your way here

These are the best hotdogs I've had in Tucson thus far! The meat itself was incredible but the bread also was perfectly soft- not soggy- and didn't leave me wanting to put some of it to the side to get to the hotdog itself. The caramello had tender and flavorful meat to the point I was full but had to finish it. Super nice workers and owner- overall great experience! read more

Had their hot dogs (again) today, still the best. House smoked sausage you can taste. Tried their hot sauce, it was terrific. House made with chiltepin peppers. My wife had their breakfast plate, very good, tortillas were very flavorful. Great service too. Highly recommended. read more

Family owned. Super good hotdogs and authentic Mexican food. Good prices, great environment. Must try in Tucson.
