El Caprichoso Sonoran Hotdogs

Date: Sunday July 2nd, 2023Time: around 6pmMeal: Dinner TakeoutI love me a good hotdog. So does the hubby. And a bacon wrapped one?! Yum! When I read trying a Sonoran hot dog was a must in Phoenix, I decided to check out this spot. It's a cart and I think they weren't quite set up yet, so we had a bit of trouble finding it. After circling a bit, we finally found it!We were ordering for the hub's fam as well, so we grabbed a bunch of different dogs. I can't remember for the life of me what I ordered, but knowing me, I'm pretty sure we sampled a good amount of the menu. I did ask for one without the bun and they happily obliged. I know that's blasphemy to some, but gotta watch those carbs from time to time?Just to get a feel for the menu, here are a few prices - Hot Dog Estilo Sonora ($5), Titanic Estilo Sonora ($9), Rufflo Dogo ($6), Cheetos Flamin Hot Dogo ($6). We were ordering for the kids too, so some of the dogs were plain, but I adored the dogs with toppings. The bread is soft and fluffy and the dogs were nice and juicy.They have three locations. Two are card and cash - this one and the one on 19th Ave, and the one at 1118 N 35th Ave is cash only. They have an area where you can sit and eat, but since we were doing takeaway, we just sat there while we waited.I am a big fan of food carts and this one did not disappoint.REVIEW #3463

I love this place. Sonoran dogs are a staple, and this place is my favorite in the valley. I will say though if you're not a Spanish speaker or aren't comfortable speaking Spanish it might be difficult to order - not impossible, but there's usually a language barrier - it's all part of the experience though! Everyone that works there is super friendly regardless. If you drive too fast, you'll miss it, so pay attention when your GPS tells you to turn. The most recent time I went there, it was like five minutes til close (felt bad about that one lol), but they were still equally as friendly, and the food slapped.

First time trying out this place. The overall vibes is really nice and inviting. It's self seating and you can either order at the front counter table they have set up or order at the seating area and somebody will come and take your order. They take both cash and card. Service was swift without any issues and food came out fast. We ordered the titanic hot dog with everything. Everything includes:KetchupMustardGrilled onionsBeansTomatoGuacamoleJalapeño salsaCotija cheeseAnd a grilled pepper on the sidePersonally I thought the overall taste of the food was okay. There wasn't enough meat to other ingredient ratio for my taste. The hot dog itself wasn't really flavorful either. It tasted pretty bland in my opinion. Overall I enjoy the experience of trying out a new item that's popular to the area but personally I didn't find it tasteful.

This place is a must try. I ordered literally ate the hot dog cold after an hour of handling business and was still fire. I don't even care for beans and still was delicious. Service was quick. The vibe of the place was outdoor dining or grab and go. Not much of an atmosphere. But overall a must go

This is the In N Out of Sonoran Hot Dogs. The drive thru was wrapped around the corner at 8:30pm. I'm a white person who could not wait to try these hot dogs for the first time. I was super lucky to find a good parking spot. Parking is very limited. The sweet employee helped me order. I chose the basic Hot Dog that is anything but basic. It has all of their toppings, bacon, onions, beans, mayo, mustard etc. I did ask for no jalapeño sauce. They have other speciality dogs with ruffles and cheetos too. They have plenty of seating and paper towels. This is one messy Hot Dog. I can't describe how amazing this was. You just need to try it. I ordered another one right away and will definitely be back.

Admittedly not a hot dog eater but you must try this at least once. It's very straightforward. Order. Sit. Eat. I saw a review about the best Sonoran dogs in Phoenix and had to try this. It was a simple food truck with tables and chairs. Very clean and nice although there is some traffic on 19th avenue. Service was very efficient and friendly. The bacon wrapped dogs smell so good while they are cooking and they pile them high with all kinds of stuff! I loved the bread. It is not from a wrapper but from a bakery somewhere and was incredibly fresh. We ended up doing take out and eating at home on our patio. Great place to take an out of town guest who is up for the real Sonoran dog experience.

Unique and delicious. Small size is $6, Titantic large size is $10 and you can ask them to cut it in half. They take cards. Comes topped like a taco with everything, there's even a side bar with additional toppings you can add yourself like nacho cheese and pickled veggies. The bun is like a soft chewy flatbread. Overall it's unique and a must try for the area!

We had to complete our last night in Phoenix with some Sonoran hot dogs! We knew this place would be good just from the line. It literally wrapped around the whole building. It barely moved at one point, so we got out of the car and decided to just go inside to order. Their place is outside, where they cook everything and have a whole assembly line and they have tables and chairs set up under the tent. We were planning to get ours to go anyways, but inside was pretty packed.One of the gentlemen greeted us right away and took our orders. We ordered two of everything to share with our group of friend's. We couldn't decide and were going to cut it up so everyone got a sample to eat. We got the original, the ones topped with sour cream and cheddar ruffles, the ones topped with hot cheetos and the titanic!All of them were good, but my favorite was the original. All pretty much were bacon wrapped, beans, topped with onions, sour cream, I think Avocado. The semi sweet charred bun was a great touch. Definitely some drunk food, but also good sober. Will definitely come back to try again.

My first time trying a Sonoran Dog and this place was top of the list everywhere I looked. The establishment is a giant tent with the kitchen and tables set up, very authentic but can be a little chilly so wear something warm if going later in the day when it's cooler. Both of these items were amazing!! The bread was probably the best part. I think I liked the Hot Cheeto just a little more due to personal preference but would definitely order both again. Pretty decent prices too! Try this place!

I read an Eater article about iconic foods to try in the Phoenix area, and the Sonoran Hot Dog was on the list. Glad that I tried the Titanic Sonoran Dog. It comes with tons of toppings, and you can customize the ones you want. It's good sized and will fill you up. The menu has six items posted on a large banner. We went to the N 35th Street location. It seemed like a fairly large setup. While there are quite a few people waiting, the service is fast. There is a small parking lot. This location has a drive-thru, and the cars going to the drive-thru go through the parking lot. Backing out of the parking spot was a little challenging with the cars in line for the drive thru.
