1. 143 Street Tacos (Sierra Vista)
This tiny little food cart offers a two-for-one special every Wednesday, so be sure to get there early! By mid-afternoon, they're usually sold out because so many people take advantage of the deal. You'll find 143 Street Tacos at 255 W Wilcox Dr., Sierra Vista, AZ 85635.
2. Wild Dogs (Benson)
As a restaurant serving nothing but dogs, this unique joint dishes out plenty of different varieties. While everything here is delicious, the Sonoran Dog certainly holds its own among the wide array of menu options. Try it for yourself at 705 W 4th St., Benson, AZ 85602.
3. Taqueria Con El Nene (Tucson)
Taqueria Con El Nene is one of the most popular food trucks in Arizona, recognized statewide for its out-of-this-world tacos and Sonoran Dogs. It might be located in a gas station parking lot, but that sure doesn't stop crowds from lining up! The address is 65 W Valencia Rd., Tucson, AZ 85706.
4. El Sinaloense Hot Dog Cart (Tucson)
This unassuming spot definitely doesn't have much going for it in terms of appearance, but what it lacks in ambiance, it makes up for tenfold in taste. You'll find some of Tucson's very best Sonoran Dogs here, and it's a shame El Sinaloense is still such a hidden gem. You'll find the cart at 1526 N Alvernon Way, Tucson, AZ 85712.
5. BK Tacos (Tucson)
Hot dogs aren't all that this iconic joint serves, but they're the reason most people visit. With two stores in town, you have no excuse not to stop by sometime! You'll find the location shown above at 2680 N 1st Ave., Tucson, AZ 85719.
6. Micky's Hot Dogs (Mesa)
Micky's is a cash-only, no-frills eatery with Sonoran Dogs and several other varieties.

The address is 108 W Broadway Rd., Mesa, AZ 85210.
7. Simon's Hot Dogs (Scottsdale)
