    Was craving a Sonoran dog while visiting a friend in Tucson and this was the closest that popped up.. it wasn't as good as it could be from a cart but it satisfied the craving... a little pricey but overall not bad here.. They had tacos as well, with churros, chip and salsa.. Elote, fries and few other items.

    So good! The vegan options are great! There's even a vegan menu. I got the taco salad with blue oyster mushrooms! It was absolutely delicious. The lime cream sauce is probably my favorite. I also got a side of the avocado which I think was a little bit spicy. I'm not sure which one but they were both great. highly recommend getting both. We'll be trying the tacos and a elote next time. Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

    Excellent! Just happened to be in the area and stop by this gem! The food was great. All kinds of street food and other options. The service was super quick. I'm definitely coming back!

    Meeting friend for lunch. Very nice staff, great food, and it was quiet enough for a meeting. Love that it's not too far from me & it can be quick.

    Delicious ! They offer a delightful vegan menu bursting with flavor as well . Really enjoyed my blue oyster mushroom tacos ! We planned board games with the family , total vibes . The hall is lined with the story of the restaurant, a good read for sure . Can't wait to come back .

    why aren't these tacos famous yet?? Blacktop Grill is known for their award-winning Sonoran hotdogs (the elote dog and classic Sonoran were both ), but the real sleeper hit? The tacos. The steak ta-keto comes with juicy grilled steak, avocado cream, and a crispy cheese shell -- honestly better than some Michelin tacos I've waited hours for. They've got vegan and keto options too, and the street corn with chorizo was so good. Run, don't walk -- this spot deserves way more

    Elote Fries

    I like this place overall. They have a good selection of appetizing menu options including low carb options. I've had the popper quesadilla, a couple Sonoran dogs, and the low carb tacos. They have all had good flavor and been generally generous portions. Staff have been friendly but the food does take some time. The prices are high in my opinion but we will go back occasionally.

    Another trip to Tucson and needed to fill that hole in our stomach. After a short search we found this location. Seeing such positive reviews and the pictures of the various dishes looked appealing we ventured about 15mins to get to this location. Located in a plaza with various shopping venues and restaurants. We were met by a super energetic lady who gave us sum suggestions that panned out very well. Wait time was normal, fair amount of seating. Not sure what the lunch during the work week would look like, so be mindful, since parking is shared, you may want to plan ahead . Food was delicious, so that hole I spoke about was happily filled. This place easily earned my 5 stars . B back 4 sure. Dined in Dinner. Price per person $10-20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Quesadilla

    Location is good, lots of parking in the lot near Cortaro and Thornydale. Menu contains an assortment of Mexican dishes, but specializes in hotdogs. My wife was disappointed they did not have a Chicago dog on the menu. The ambiance is OK, typical fast casual. They have some nice outdoor seating but there is so much road noise we sat inside even though it was a nice night. We ordered at the counter and waited maybe a half-hour for our food. They have a sign up saying "this is not fast food", but I don't think we are unusual in expecting similar service times to a food truck. Good thing I ordered a beer while I waited! When our food came it looked delicious! the sweet potato fries are wonderful, perfect consistency. My chile relleno dog (see photo) had quite a pile of chiles, but we thought the bun was a little much and could have used a good toasting. I would put our experience in the "just OK" category.

    I will start by saying, I wish this joint on was on the southeast side in Vail. I would be eating here weekly. It is a place where you order at the register but they bring you the food. Super cool vibe inside, in fact I was mesmerized by the floor. My husband and I ordered a bunch of stuff off the menu. The guy taking our order was incredibly friendly and nice. They have some really different items on the menu which I loved! We ordered the Mexican Street Corn Dip/Chips, a Sonoran Dog, Mango Quesadilla and the Vampiro Tacos w/Elote. Every item was delicious... particularly the Mexican Street Corn Dip and the what has to be homemade chips that went with it. My husband loved his tacos and the flavor of their salsa. My Mango Quesadilla was the real treat as I would have never thought to mix mango/jalapeno with asadero and cream cheese into a flour tortilla but WOW. The hotdog was good, but did not blow my mind like the other items -- I think I should have went for that Shanghai Dog as that actually looks reallllllly good. We took a chunk of the food home and it reheated incredibly well in the air fryer. We will be back, not sure when since it is a hike for us but it was SO worth the drive.

The server seated us; didn't introduce himself. Brought us our water and the little, delicious muffins. We ordered our food. Friend likes to get a rare burger served over a small caesar salad. I ordered a house salad with blue cheese, and tortilla soup. Friend asked for more muffins; server didn't acknowledge the request but did bring more of them. Our food came. My salad had the blue cheese dressing already in/on the salad. It was very good. The tortilla soup was more (flavorful) broth than meat with lots of tortilla strips in it, and a few kernels of corn. Friend's burger and salad was exactly the way she wanted it. I had to ask for more water. Friend had to ask for more water as well and each time we were served with no comment from the server. Friend asked for more muffins. They were brought with no comment. She had to ask for a to-go container for the left over muffins twice. Friend and I hadn't seen each other in a long time so we were there awhile - 2 hours. The place was never full so it wasn't as if our table was needed. It got to the point where the server stopped coming by our table and, to my amazement, then stopped at the table and picked up our signed credit card statements and walked away without a word! I have NEVER had a server do that. Friend mentioned that it looked like he definitely wanted us GONE!!!! Had I known we would be treated this way, I wouldn't have left my 20%+ tip. I want 15% of my tip back! I'll go back but never again have this person as my sever.
