I've been to Tucson several times this year for business. Due to my hectic schedule, I usually…read moreorder delivery and just call it a day. But during this recent visit, I decided to change things up. Let me tell you, the food scene in this city is incredible. I'll probably post several reviews in the coming days, but this one had to be first. Sonoran hot dogs are legendary, and everyone told me they were a must-try while in the area. Several places were recommended, but this establishment was only 10 minutes away from my location -- and yes, it was the #1 recommendation. So luck was definitely on my side. This is a family business that has been featured in dozens of YouTube videos (and probably TV shows as well). I was greeted by a very sweet and polite young lady and ordered a traditional Sonoran Dog, a carne asada taco, and an adobada taco. All I have to say is WOW. The combination of toppings on that dog was amazing. I had never tried anything like it before, and now I want more. That crispy bacon-wrapped hot dog with the beans, onions, crema... just incredible. The tacos were fantastic as well. I can't wait until I return to Tucson in two months. I'm definitely going back and will probably order three of those dogs next time. They also have plenty of seating, both outdoors and indoors, with nice cold A/C for those brutal Arizona summer days.

I was finally able to try their food. I'm so glad I could…read more The tortillas and fry bread are handmade and cooked on order. I ordered a red chili papover with everything. I also ordered a bean and cheese burrito. Both were very delicious The red salsa was also delicious. Prices were also great for the quality. The lady and gentlemen running it were very nice. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. I for sure will be going back.

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!

Ordered a combo plate with brisket & pulled pork and got two sides with it green beans (and potatoes) & beans which were closer to cowboy beans. I also ordered an extra side of fries because I can't say no to fries. OMG! I wanted to try the meat without any sauce first because that's the true measure of BBQ and Tipsy did not disappoint! Smokey and flavorful and fall apart done. The beans were mixed with ground beef or turkey with peppers and some other stuff I couldn't tell you but were delicious. The green beans mixed with potatoes were a bit spicy but had me finishing every last one! I'm a fry girl and these ones were perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. If you are driving by or at an event where they are, do yourself a favor and STOP to eat this yummy food!

I even made eye contact with the man cooking and he didn't wave at me he didn't say a word to me just ignored me I felt really stupid cuz I could hear people that were eating say something about me getting ignored and it was just really embarrassing. I finally just walked away and got in my van to drive away but after deciding maybe I was overthinking it I walked back and stood where it says to stand to place your order and again I'm completely ignored. I'm standing there looking stupid I'm fidgeting I'm acting like I'm reading the menu again and then I just stand a little further back so the one cooking has to look at me if he looks up and not once does he tell me to hold on a second or ask me about my order or anything I'm completely ignored again. I gave it 5 more minutes and 5 minutes of feeling stupid and being ignored is a really long time. I won't go there again to try their food. And if anybody else asks me I won't recommend them either because their customer service was so horrible right now that I will not ever try them again. Shame on you guys!

It's a small, clean restaurant with about 9 tables, and the service is impressively fast. The owner, Andy, is hands-on and personally makes sure everyone is enjoying their meal, which adds a great local feel. The Food * Street Dumplings (Fried): We started with these as an appetizer--absolutely delicious! * House Special Chow Mein: My husband really enjoyed this; it was flavorful , good for two and well-prepared * Vermicelli Salad with Chicken: refreshing and colorful dish that balances warm, savory grilled chicken with cold rice vermicelli noodles, crisp raw vegetables, and a zesty, light dressing. Atmosphere & Service Even though it's a smaller space, it's very popular. I noticed a constant stream of "to-go" orders and delivery drivers picking up, which is always a good sign that the locals love it. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town. Highly recommended!
