Always been very good food and service. It's a food truck and has been MIA for at least a year or more now.

the food was HOT and amazing and the people were friendly ... its the top mexican food in maricopa…read morei give it a ten out of five

1. Location, Parking & Seating Sonora Dog is easy to get to…read morewith plenty of parking and a sheltered outdoor seating area with tables and chairs. The surrounding area is generally clean and well-kept, which makes it a comfortable spot to stop and eat on location. 2. Service Experience Customer service has consistently been just okay. I'm never really greeted when ordering in person, which makes the transaction feel impersonal. Online ordering is available, but it's unreliable. The issue isn't about "extras" -- it's that items that should automatically come with your meal often aren't included. For example, if you order tacos, you may not get the cilantro, onions, or sauces that are supposed to accompany them. Sometimes even paid add-ons like sour cream get missed entirely. If you want to make sure your order is complete, you're better off ordering in person and checking before you leave. Communication is also lacking a bit. 3. Food Quality & Taste Sonoran Dog: The star of the menu. Flavorful, fully loaded, and served on a super soft bun. All the toppings work well together, and it's one of the better Sonoran Dogs I've had. This is one of the few things here that feels worth coming back for. Carne Asada Loaded Fries: Flavor is fine, but the texture is disappointing. The shredded cheese (which feels more processed than fresh) dries and hardens quickly, turning the fries and cheese into one solid block. A mix of melted cheese sauce with shredded cheese would keep them hotter and creamier. Birria Tacos with Rice & Beans: This was the most disappointing for the price. I ordered two birria tacos with rice and beans on the side, and the sides were tiny -- maybe a tablespoon each. The plate cost nearly $18, which is steep considering the small amount of food. My daughter ordered the same, and paying that much for two people to get only two tacos each with minimal sides is not worth it. The portion is so small that an adult could easily leave still hungry. 4. Value for Money This is where Sonora Dog falls short. While the Sonoran Dog itself feels worth it, most other items -- especially the birria taco plates -- are overpriced for what you get. The portions do not match the cost, and that's hard to justify with other options in Maricopa offering larger servings, hotter food, and better value. 5. Consistency & Overall Experience Our visits here have been hit or miss. We used to come often, but stopped for a while because the food started to feel "off." When we finally returned, the high prices combined with small portions reinforced why we don't visit often. There's a very small list of items I would say are worth coming for -- the Sonoran Dog being the main one -- but I can't fully recommend this place overall. Between inconsistent service, order accuracy issues (even for standard items), and portion sizes that don't justify the price, it's hard to see it as good value. Final Thoughts: If you have no other options in Maricopa, it might be worth a stop for certain menu items. But with other spots offering fresher, hotter, and more generous meals for less money, I'd choose elsewhere first. Rating: (3/5) -- Great Sonoran Dog, but too many misses and overpriced for most menu items.

I was craving a smash burger and looked on Yelp for a burger spot recommendation. We decided to…read morecheck out Freddy's and that turned to be a great decision. We arrived during a evening rush but the service excellent. Friendly staff and clean environment. The wait wasn't too long either. My wife and I ordered our burgers California style and a kids cheeseburger for our little one. Everyone enjoyed their food, even our picky eater. We'll be back for sure! Maybe next time we'll try the shakes.

I was out and about today, and was craving something greasy and awful for me, so I stopped at…read moreFreddy's on my way home. I was less than impressed. First, the good: when I arrived at the drive thru, I was very quickly greeted and the gal I spoke with was pleasant to interact with. My patty melt was very flavorful and delicious, as well as piping hot. Total thumbs up there. The unfortunate: I was the only car in the drive thru, and although I was able to order and drive up to the window quickly, I then sat at the window for aaaaaaages. By the time I was handed my food, the line was 3 cars deep. I appreciate that they were maybe making the food fresh, but holy smokes I waited forever. It is also worthy to note that the location isn't great. This is not the restaurant's fault, obviously, but it's something to know. The parking lot is ridiculous and I have no idea how there aren't constant accidents.

What can I say that I haven't already. When I lived in Copa and this store had just opened and was…read morebrand new, it was beautiful!!! It stayed that way for months and months. But now, because the Town of Maricopa has grown into a full blown city, the city life of a circle k has taken over. The bathroom was gross, the store was a complete disaster, and they didn't really have anything I was looking for. I had just spend several hours at the track and was hungry so I thought I would get a hot dog or two plus an energy drink since I was on my way to a company sponsored event for our customers. But no, no hot dogs, none of my drinks, not even a viable substitute, nothing! Did I mention the store was a mess! Well it was. One of the employees even came out like he had just gotten to work and HE was complaining about the condition of the store. Oh well, I guess I should not be surprised, it IS circle K after all.

First off I stood in a long line just for a maple donut then paid $2.50 for a donut they ask you…read moreeither hole or not hole so that's how you identify how much you charge that's absolutely absurd and weird but OK so I grab my doughnut after I pay four dollars for a Starbucks drink and 250 for a donut with no whole come to find out there is a fruit fly in your donut container so I asked for the refund she doesn't want to give me a refund and I said now wet and she shrugged her shoulders like it was no big deal. That's a completely gross and I want my 250 back.
