If you're a hot dog lover visiting Tucson, step into Perro Loco Hot Dogs, a local gem that promises a culinary experience you won't forget. Tucked away at 3051 E 36th St, this vibrant eatery specializes in Sonoran hot dogs, a regional specialty that combines flair and flavor in every bite.

Pair your dog with their Boneless Wings or Boneless Wings Supreme, which lend an extra kick to your meal and are perfectly executed with just the right amount of seasoning.

Drinks are also a highlight here. Quench your thirst with a refreshing Aguas Frescas or opt for a vibrant Mexican Soda, both of which beautifully complement the rich flavors of your meal.

Visiting in Tucson, people tell you to try Sonoran dog as it is a local speciality. Well I try Sonoran dogs at multiple different places and this was easily the best one. Very unassuming place that focuses on a limited menu on what they do well, Sonoran dogs. bun, meat and toppings were easily the best flavor out of everywhere I tried in the area. It's on the side of a convenience store so just parked in the area and prices are super reasonable. Look no further if you just want to have the best Sonoran dog in the area.

They used to be at the Swap Meet and that's where I first encountered them almost 10 years ago. This is my go to Sonoran Hot Dog spot whenever I'm in Tucson. Love them.
