My family and I have supported this vendor for a long time. We always place large orders of 10+ Sonora‑style hot dogs to feed our whole family, and we've given them a lot of business over the years. On April 25th, we placed an order totaling $100.44. The payment left my Wells Fargo account on April 27th, and the transaction clearly shows it was paid on April 25th. I checked my entire April statement -- nothing was cancelled, refunded, or reversed. When we returned to place an order today 6/11/26, the vendor accused us of cancelling the transaction and insisted we still owed them money. I even showed them proof directly from my banking app, but they kept repeating the accusation. The only "proof" they could show us was a picture from their system with the same total, but it just said "open" -- no date, no timestamp, no transaction details. They couldn't provide any actual evidence that we hadn't paid. They then told us we had to pay cash for this order and that we were no longer allowed to order from them. After years of loyalty and large orders, being treated like this was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Beware if you pay with a card -- this could happen to you. If their system glitches or they lose track of a transaction, they may blame you instead of checking their own records. We won't be returning. En Español: Mi familia y yo hemos apoyado a este vendedor por mucho tiempo.

El pago salió de mi cuenta de Wells Fargo el 27 de abril, y la transacción claramente muestra que fue pagado el 25 de abril. Revisé todo mi estado de cuenta de abril -- nada fue cancelado, reembolsado ni revertido. Cuando regresamos recientemente, el vendedor nos acusó de haber cancelado la transacción y dijo que todavía les debíamos dinero. Incluso les mostré la prueba directamente en mi aplicación bancaria, pero siguieron repitiendo la misma acusación. La única "prueba" que pudieron mostrarnos fue una foto de su sistema con el mismo total, pero solo decía "open" -- sin fecha, sin hora, sin detalles de transacción. No pudieron darnos ninguna evidencia real de que no habíamos pagado. Luego nos dijeron que teníamos que pagar en efectivo este pedido y que ya no podíamos ordenar con ellos. Después de años de lealtad y pedidos grandes, ser tratados así fue extremadamente poco profesional y una falta de respeto. Tengan cuidado si pagan con tarjeta -- esto también les puede pasar a ustedes. Si su sistema falla o pierden un registro, pueden culparlo a usted en lugar de revisar sus propios datos. No volveremos. read more

While in Phoenix, one of the things to do is to try a Sonoran Hot Dog. After some afternoon bar time, we just had to find a Sonoran hot dog and so glad we found the El Caprichoso truck!! The staff was no amazingly nice and the hot dogs were the best!! Not only do you have to try a Sonoran hot dog, but you absolutely need to try it from El Caprichoso!! I had the Sonora 4x4 and was NOT disappointed! read more

Really good hotdogs, they have a great seating area and lots of parking. Staff is super nice and helpful. They offer different types of dogs and even a bunless one. They didn't have any aguas but they did have other drinks available. Champurado was very good. The titanic is huge. All seating is outside this is a street stand. You can take to go or eat there read more

This establishment is located in car wash's dark parking lot after closing hours. Service was lackadaisical despite it not being crowded. I got service but my friend stood in front of the cashier for a very long time before he got to take his order. None of the items show the actual prices of anything. The receipt system is extremely janky and they have hidden charges just for using a credit card. I tried out their titular hot dog estilo sonora and their hot cheeto dog which cost $14.51. The hot dogs are stuffed full of items such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, onions, beans, tomato, cheese, and guacamole. The one thing that I thought was odd was that I didn't taste any bacon on any of the two hot dogs; thus, the bacon was pretty forgettable and washed away by all the other ingredients. Overall, an average experience. read more

I've been here many times it's always outstanding. I like the traditional dog with beans.

Absolutely delicious! First time ever having a Sonoran dog and this place came highly recommended. I will absolutely come again! The service was great and the waiter was really great at recommending. The atmosphere was inviting and the place was very clean. read more

They legit don't care about the customers that are paying there and waiting for the food , while I was waiting for my food there was no wait time , people who order online were getting food before me , which I don't mind but. I would like to know if I'm be waiting for hours just for 3 hot dogs worst spot to come and waste your money for hot dogs rather go to Circle K read more

It was a nice little place that we looked up on yelp and couldn't agree more with the stars. It was so good. People are very nice and easy-going. Highly recommend going here. read more

My favorite Sonoran hotdogs! The service is great ! It's a food truck so the ambiance is a 1. read more

We have driven by this place several times and have always noticed a crowd. Of course it was typically coming home from already eating. Finally we stopped to give it a try. Are we ever glad we did. Now we understand why they are always busy. These were delicious. We even got one for the dog and he thought the hot dog was amazing. We know that as it took him mere seconds to scarf it up. Lol read more

Found this gem because I live close by! They toast their bun, & love that it comes with a Chile guero! My usual order would be with everything except for beans. It can get pretty crowded, you can call ahead / text them to order ahead. Highly recommend. read more

Food is really good we always go here when we are craving hotdogs great for the whole family

The cook will be on his phone with the food handling gloves on and continue cooking after without changing his gloves. He had his phone next to him on the grill all night and was more concerned about what was on his phone instead of toasting up the buns. Took over 30 minutes because he was more worried about his phone than working. This should be a health code violation. read more

First off, you have to be an adventurous type to trek out close to midnight and find these Sonoran dogs. This location feels like the middle of somewhere not safe, but once I was there, there were quite a few customers and there was a consistent stream of customers. The good thing about this place is that it's a food truck so you get your hot dog freshly cooked and if hot dogs aren't your thing, the menu is pretty extensive and covers other Mexican fare. The hot dogs are yummy, the bread soft and fluffy, and the condiments are provided ala cooler. Plus they have TV service... on this night I watched the Latin Billboard awards. You too, my friends can check out TeleMundo while you enjoy your comida. Don't let the location discourage you, it's worth the adventure... but I think I'll bring a friend next time instead of going by myself, read more

Yummy!!!! Love this place, fast & amazing service. Its open late night and always hits the spot. One of the best Hot Dogs places I've found. Moved further away but will drive the distance to get these tasty dogs!!! read more

Hot dogs are 5/5, definitely will go back for some more of the Sonora style hotdogs. I found it by recommendation and it didn't disappoint

I was on my way home from the Cardinals vs Diamondbacks game, and I was a little bit famished. I didn't want any fast food, and I also didn't want to go to a diner type place. I had remembered my friend Liza had written a review of this spot, and I have also had it bookmarked for awhile now. I figured, now is the time, right? I decided to head up the 17 North and exit on Dunlap. Drove down a few blocks, made a left on 19th and this place is about a mile down 19th Ave. on the left. It's in a U-Haul parking lot. Pretty non descript, but you will find it without a problem if you keep your eye out. I pulled in the parking lot, approached the cart/dining area and was asked if it was for here, or to go? I said for here, and the nice young gentlemen told me to grab a seat and that he would be over in a minute. I decided to go with 2 Sonoran Hot Dogs (no mayo) and a Mandarin Jarritos. A few minutes later, my dogs were placed in front of me. Here is how they were........... Sonoran Hot Dogs- Right when they were placed down in front of me, I knew they were going to be awesome! Just on visual appeal alone, these warrant 5 stars! I noticed that the bun was grilled and had a nice toasty, buttery sheen to it. The top part of the bun reminded me of a New England split style hot dog bun. It sure was beautiful. I took a bite into my dogs and was overwhelmed with joy! This dog was wrapped with bacon, then topped with ketchup, mustard, avocado sauce?, jalapeno sauce, beans, tomatoes and some cotija cheese sprinkled on top. Everything just works! I am not a big fan of pinto beans. I am not a fan of ketchup on my hot dog...its almost sac religious! I am not a fan of cheap hot dogs. I am not the biggest fan of tomatoes. You know what though? This hot dog consists of ALL of those ingredients that I normally don't like, but it still tastes like a million bucks! Something about the combo of flavors makes it work perfectly! I'm pretty sure that bun is the key! It is toasty and a bit crunchy, yet pillow soft when you bite in, and deep enough to hold everything in without shit falling out all over the place. It's a perfect vehicle for this type of dog. I woofed down my 2 dogs and easily could have gone for another....maybe 2! These were not only the best Sonoran style dogs I have ever had, these dogs were some of the best "any kind of dogs" I have ever had. They were awesome. I almost don't want to try out any other Sonoran dog places in Phoenix because I am afraid I will be let down due to how perfect these were. Jarritos- Mandarin Jarritos. Bomb! You have to have an OG Mexican Coke or a Jarritos while eating food like this. Overall, it was $3.00 a dog, and $2.00 for the soda. $8.00 total for one of the best meals I have had in Phoenix! They are open late, the guy running the place was friendly, and the dogs were flat out awesome! Good find, Liza...good find! I now have a Sonoran dog spot I can recommend, take out of town visitors to, and keep coming back to myself! Damn, those dogs were good! read more

$3.00 each. Open till 2AM. If you're from a major city I don't need to say any more about "hole in the walls" or street vendors making the best food. You get it, you understand. Go here. Get one. Actually, get two. Grab a beer from QT on the corner, go home, and grub. You're welcome. To the three reviewers who sent me here: Thank you :) To the woman and man running this establishment: bless your hearts. You give NYC and Chicago hot dogs a run for their money! read more

El Caprichoso Hot Dogs - Tastes even better...Phoenix best kept secret but i'm telling EVERYBODY! - Street Vendors Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So, I have been going to this place for a long time. It was always good and the food is still good, if you can stand the service level or lack thereof. I have to preface this by stating the second to last time I went there I ordered the same thing I have always been ordering, for years. Two sonoran hotdogs with everything. I got home and proceeded to bite into the first glizzy and lo and behold they drenched it with salsa. Never has there been salsa on my sonoran hotdog. Never! I called in and they tried to convince me it always had salsa when you order everything on it. Uh-huh... sure, whatever... I'll let it slide. Even though I was out 10 dollars. Months pass by and I feel I will give it one last try the ole - fool me once, twice... you know... I show up and it is busy. I mean there are 20 ppl there waiting. Their whole grill is up and running. No one is standing in line and I wait for a couple minutes but no one approaches me. I then try to order because they have overstaffing (compared to the one person taking orders I usually see) and they pretend they don't speak any English. Fine. I wait and then this young teenage girl tries to take my order and this time I believe she spoke no English. I asked how long the wait is and they had to daisy chain it to the cook who with a dead pan face told me 30 minutes, after I had already sat there waiting for them to grace me with their presence so they can at least take my order. That would be 40+ minutes of wait time for hotdogs. GET THE FOH! Learn your craft, you know you are busy, make sure you get there on time or early... what a treat that would be so you are ready to go slanging them glizzies. Sadly, I doubt I will ever go back there again. Partially from these two experiences and a good part of it is it is located in tweaker hell - Sunnyslope. Shame... read more

So let down by these hotdogs.. To much bun to little hot dog. Surprisingly dry and bland flavor. Very underwhelming to say the least.. To top it off after eating one of the hot dogs. I noticed the bottom melted into the styrofoam. So you have way to big of a bun that's got melted foam all over the bottom. That's a pet peeve for me. I would not recommend this place Way overrated. Much better Sonoran dogs around the valley and Tucson. Emilio's is awful and still better than this place. read more

Must try! We just moved to Phoenix from San Diego and this is the best local place we've had! Definitely going back and the best part is that they're open late. read more

Amazing Sonoran hot dogs. Hot dogs are cooked on a flat top after being wrapped in bacon. They are covered in beans with crema, guac and onions. But the bun is the BEST...so soft and spongy! Like no hot dog you've ever had!!! read more

Honest! The best hot dogs I've ever had here in Phoenix. The bread taste like no other hot dog bun I've ever had. The sausage and condiments put on the hotdog all come together to make you feel like you got fireworks in your mouth. The staff is really nice and welcoming. Will for sure comeback! read more

No way would I just pull over for a dog in a 'riskay' part of town...but I am sure I will be finding myself here more often! It was late, our choices were Mexican or Burgars, but then I remembered that Dave liked this hot dog cart, so I suggested we stop here (he was thrilled). I got the loaded dog (-guac because of the avocado allergy) with a grilled bun. It was awesome. It had everything, beans, tomotoes, ketchup, mustard, sourcream and cheese. I think I may be drooling as I write the review and think about it. I wanted to eat another; but I refrained because I knew it would put me over the edge. I don't know this chicks hours, but I am sure I will be checking in and eating at this place out more often! read more

OMG!!! This place is the best!!! I love hot dogs, but usually I will only eat them with the most general toppings... ketchup, mustard, relish... but this place just BLEW MY MIND! For $3 you get a hot dog wrapped in bacon in a bun with beans, tomatoes, cheese, mayo, guac, onions, ketchup, and mustard. I decided to go for the almost all but the mayo and onions and it was so effin delicious!!! PROS: The hot dog bun is TO DIE FOR!!! The crispy bacon wrapped around the hot dog is perfection... the whole gosh darn thing is too delicious to put into words. Go get one!!! CONS: Cash only, it's in a car wash parking lot... read more

Read the reviews from yelp, drive by this place all the time, but I always had skepticism about street vendors from prior experiences. Short story, wow. This is some good food. There's so much going on, but it all equals a great hot dog. At 3 bucks a pop there's not reason to not stop by and grab at least one to give it a shot. read more

I've been coming here since like 2011-12 I am not 100% but it's been a minute lol. The food is always good, it is busy but I mean you'll know why when you have a Sonoran hotdog with everything on it. It's worth the wait and sometimes they offer calling orders but that's courtesy so don't rely on that. read more
