First time I had Sonoran hot dog was during my first visit to Tucson. Ever since then, I have been wanting to try it again. My friend Jose grew up in Arizona his whole life and recommended me this place to try out.
It isn't a big restaurant. It has approximately 6 booths with 3 tables in the middle of the walkways. If you come here with a huge party, just be aware of this. As soon as I walked in, I saw a lady holding a huge glass on her hand with a spoon. Holy moly it's cocktail shrimp! I have to have that too. We ordered a Sonoran hot dog, cocktail shrimps as well as Carne Asada taco. After being spoiled with the authentic sonoran hot dog, I have to admit that it was no comparison (although it was still good). As for the cocktail shrimp, you have a choice of ordering it with chips or crackers. The portion is generous and delicious. I kept picking out the shrimp until.... well, I noticed that they did not devein them (yike yike yike). I saw a huge black vein running through all of them. Also, $12.99 was a bit too pricy in my opinion. Neverthess, I am glad that I tried it.
Overall, my experience here was good. I will not order the cocktail shrimp again but I do want to try other items on the menu.
P.S. I'm not sure why the restaurant puts the Sonoran hot dog stand outside when it was over 110 yesterday. I honestly feel bad for the guy who was standing there all by himself.
