Kenji Lopez-Alt was here only a week ago. I've been going regularly for about a month. Locals have been lining up here a lot longer. This place was my first bite into the iconic local Sonoran hot dog. I shouldn't have waited. I haven't eaten meat for decades but they have a veggie dog option and it's very good. I get it loaded with everything because it all works. This little food cart is worth the drive and the guys running it have the routine drilled in so you won't wait long. This place is on my list of places to take out-of-town friends. read more

We were in Tucson for my wifes birthday, and I wanted to stop here for some hot dogs. I was here last year and it was the best Sonoran Dog I had ever had. Still true! I ordered 3 dogs, no mayo. Honestly, could have probably ate 5 or 6. They are THAT GOOD! My intent was to eat all 3, but then my kids were like "Let me get a bite". Well, they ate a whole one between them, my son proclaiming it was "The best hot dog I've ever had in my life". You are correct, Son! These things just hit different! The griddled bun is perfection, the dog is plump and meaty and wrapped in bacon, the toppings are streamlined so it's not too messy. The dude making them is super friendly, chatting it up with every customer. Just amazing. Worth the 2.5 hour drive from Surprise just for these dogs...seriously! So good, I will crave them until I come back down to Tucson to get some more! read more

Wanted to try the Sonoran hotdog while in southern Arizona. Found El Sinaloense as the top recommended spot by locals. We ordered the Sonoran hotdog with everything ($4.50), which came out really fast. There was a salsa bar so you can add additional salsas and toppings on your hot dog. It was delicious, made fresh. I really like the bread that's enclosed in. It's really toasty and tastes buttery. The fillings are great, beans, onions, tomato, and more. I think you can get away with eating two because they're not super dense, or you can have them as a snack. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a hot dog while in the Tucson area. Service is friendly! You can order for here or to-go. There are also a lot of tables and plenty of parking. I can see it filling up, but not all the tables were taken when we were there, but it did get busy. read more

Not sure how this little Sonoran Hot Dog stand got on my radar but happy it did as we had a nice little lunch here today. The stand is small, menu items limited apart from the Sonoran Dog but did not care given that is why we came! The two gentlemen that were working were friendly and cooked up some tasty Tucson culinary gems. They have a cooler with condiments and offer various cold drinks under a nice shaded area with clean picnic tables. We have tasted many different Sonoran Dogs around the greater SE AZ area and Sinaloense delivers tasty dogs! read more

Easy to find midtown Sonoran hot dogs. Seating area is outside but you can always order to go. Overall my Sonoran dog was tasty. You can add your own toppings like guac, cheese and salsa from the chiller case. Cooks were friendly and are semi quick with the orders. It can get packed at times but there are a few tables for seating. Location is pretty open so you might want to avoid if super windy out. Location is by a main road so it can be a little noisy but it's a chill spot to eat. read more

Recently went to El Sinaloense Hot Dog Cart for the first time, and it did not disappoint! I'm visiting Tucson and had to try a Sonoran hot dog, one of the dishes the city is famous for. We each ordered a hot dog and shared the Tostielote, which came out to $16 total. There were a ton of customers, but we were lucky enough to snag one of the tables in the covered area. Just a heads up: there are no restrooms. It took a little while for our food since everything is made to order, but while waiting I grabbed some extra complimentary toppings, including shredded cheese and green salsa. When the food arrived, it definitely lived up to the hype. The hot dogs were packed with toppings, and every bite was a delicious mix of tomatoes, bacon, pinto beans, and other unique ingredients that paired perfectly together. The TostiElote was also a hit, with plenty of cheese, corn, and hints of lime with every crunchy bite. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

So good that I stopped by almost everyday I was in Tucson. It's an unassuming cart in a gravel parking lot with limited seating. I was a bit skeptical of a Sonoran dog but it blew my expectations out the water. All the ingredients go together really well and the hot dog itself has a nice bite to it. Service is super friendly; the owners always make polite small talk with a smile. I love getting the avocado salsa and grilled onions and jalapeños from their add on station. The Tostielotes is a perfect munchies food as well. Great food, even better prices! read more

No frills Sonoran hot dog cart with outdoor seating, salsa bar in a cooler, cold drinks- also from a cooler. Awning overhead so you can eat in the shade. I recommend ordering one tortitos per hot dog so you can take a bite of pepper with every bite of hot dog. I appreciated that they had options to up the spice level with not just peppers but hot sauces and homemade salsas too. Fast service and you can watch them prepare your food. I love love loved this spot. read more

It's a food truck, so atmosphere was picnic tables in a gravel lot. But there was shade. The staff were very friendly, and the hotdogs were amazing. Everything I was hoping for. Just get them with "everything". They've also got Mexican coke, which completes the meal. If you're visiting Tucson as I was, you've gotta try a Sonoran hotdog, and these are as good as they get. read more

Have now tried 6 of about 10 well-rated Sonora dog operations. This is one of two best. Had two just basic dogs with everything to test it out. Nicely grilled bun was a winner right away. Dog was decent size, nicely grilled. Toppings were good, especially the onion, though not better than some other places. A plus was that the bun was not so overloaded that it immediately spilled all over the place or soaked the bun. Sometimes less is better. I'll go back for a dog anytime I'm in the neighborhood but will also try their tostidog. read more

Although it was in a commercial area in a dusty lot It was clean and organized and super delicious. If we hadn't been meeting friends in an hour for supper we would have had two more each. Great dog great soft bun and fixings were fresh and tasty. Worth tracking this down. The cold rice drink was fantastic on a hot day. read more

This place is excellent. Options for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, this is quintessential Sonoran cuisine and El Sinaloense does it best. We come for a quick and convenient bite when a craving hits, and they have plenty of seating, lights, and an awning to accommodate diners any time of day or year. They even offer the cart for rent, and we have hired them for parties in the backyard,which is always a hit! The standard dog comes with lots of toppings already, which you can personalize to your liking, and there's also a cooler with additional toppings like cheese, mushrooms, avocado cream, hot sauce, etc Don't forget to grab a drink, there's bottled options and fresh agua frescas and horchata too. read more

I researched places to eat while in Tucson and this stall came up a lot on my search. They are Sonoran style hot dogs which are bacon wrapped hot dogs on a toasted bolillo bun which is like a mini baguette. The hot dog was so good and buried in all the toppings that I forgot if it was bacon wrapped or not. I just remembered saying it's like having a Costco Hot Dog but Sonoran style. It was that good! The location is on a gravel lot with parking. It's under a sturdy steel tent with tables. Dress warm on cold nights as it gets windy. These dogs are great as a snack or meal. Totally hit the spot and worth a try! All the toppings made every bite flavorful that we didn't need to add any sauces. read more

The hot dogs are fantastic- I don't know what bread they use, but it's stellar. Nice and toasty! I had two hot dogs just to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke- they both passed quality control!

I was practically BEGGING my teammates to hit a Sonoran dog spot while we were in Tucson. On the way out of town, they all indulged me. Great value at 4.50 for a Sonoran dog. It was well topped, with lots of customizability: a salsa bar, pickled veg, canned mushroom, grilled jalapeño and onion, and hot sauce. The owners were friendly and the gravel lot environment wonderful. My only critiques would be that I would have loved some more pinto beans on my dog, and I also would have liked to have had mayo and ketchup to add on top, I personally, love a saucy dog. This spot tickled my doggy itch, the bun was wonderfully toasted, the dining experience so satisfying. read more

So Tony and his wife Tinarae went here on a trip Tucson. We parked our rental car, the Chevy Blazer, we nicknamed Gus, in the gravel lot near a Dairy Queen. We found our way to the covered lot with picnic tables underneath. The food truck beckoned from the other side of the lot. A friendly sport took our order, 2 Sonoran hot dogs one without beans, an order of elote, and a cheese filled bacon wrapped chile. We washed it all down with two Coke zeros from the copious selection of cold drinks in a big cooler. The food was stratospheric! So great! I can't recommend this place enough. Reasonable prices! Don't sleep on the elote. Salsa verde Tostitos topped with corn, coquita cheese and fresh lime. ‍ wow. When in Tucson and looking for food, skip the bolognese and go to El SINALOENSE! Hot dog!

For drinks, we ordered the El Tamarindo, Mangopeno, and Monica's Cafetini. For food, we chose the Vegan Jackfruit Taquitos Trio and the Fresh Corn Tamale Platter, which came with a side of squash. The drinks were excellent, with the Mangopeno being my favorite. But the real star of the meal was the tamale platter. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table kept digging in and couldn't get enough. Even the squash side was so flavorful that we ordered an extra serving. The vegan jackfruit taquitos were a bit too deep-fried for our liking and didn't quite compare to the incredible tamales. To finish, we shared a caramel flan, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The pricing was very reasonable, the service was exceptional, and the food was memorable. We will definitely be back again if only for those amazing tamales!

They have several different areas. Inside, outside courtyard and a patio. They didn't have enough employees to cover all the tables so the service was slow. Sadly this time the food was just very salty. No where near as good as the times we had been there in the past. Pass.

She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, and she made our whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The hosts were kind too. There was plenty of seating, a dedicated bar, TVs, and nice lighting. The patio has misters, which is perfect for this time of year. They offer booth and table seating, and the tables aren't packed too close together. With party members who have different mobility challenges, the spacing was great and made everything comfortable. The food was delicious. The complimentary bottomless chips and salsa were fresh and generous. If you order the horchata, it comes with free refills too, which is such a nice touch. My husband ordered 2 birria tacos with caldo and loved them. My father in law ordered 2 ground beef enchiladas with red sauce, and my mother in law ordered 2 plain ground beef tacos. I shared the ceviche with my dad, which was fresh and flavorful, and we each ordered one Quesabirria. It was so good! Dessert was perfect. We tried the flan and the chocolate flan. The chocolate flan was a moist Bundt-style chocolate cake with flan on top. Both were creamy, delicious, and enjoyed by all of us. Great service, great food, and Alexa truly made our first visit special. We'll definitely be back!

Spacious patio area, with cool lights, umbrellas, and many tables. If you have a choice and it isn't too hot, sit outside. The food is stellar! I got their ranch style flat enchilada, which is more or less a thick masa topped with enchilada flavors and spices. So yummy. (And it's vegetarian too!) The rest of the table (3 more) ordered the green chicken enchiladas. They didn't need to rave about it: their plates were completely clean at the end of the meal! We ordered Tamarindo and Horchata drinks between us, and frankly, the Tamarindo is some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Service can be a little slow, especially if they're busy. But we didn't really mind. It was a nice experience.

The restaurant was packed and it was the holidays so it was understandable. We were told to wait at the back of the restaurant which we did. We waited for over an hour and then were told our table was ready, so we got up and followed. Then someone else came up and they both started whispering and then told us that we would not be seated after all. We asked what had happened (was the kitchen too busy?) but were not told anything other than "she told us not to seat you". The secretive whispering made it a very confusing situation. We sat back down and waited some more. Eventually we got seated, but then the food took another hour to come after we ordered. We asked a few times for water refills but eventually gave up when it didn't come. The plus side - the FOOD. The mole sauce was really good, best I've had! The chicken mole was my favorite dish but the beef with chile was also spectacular. Both corn and flour tortillas were so good here. It was really delicious and I would come back for the food, but not for the service.

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.
