The Best Sonoran Hot Dogs in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Ask anyone who grew up in Phoenix where they got late-night Sonoran dogs, and Nogales is usually the answer. Owner Pablo Perez runs two rigs, one at McDowell and 27th, and this one, the busier of the two, on Indian School Road. Folding chairs cluster near the stand, and the griddle barely has time to cool before the next wave of orders. Perez roasts corn flour for house champurrado, a thick, cinnamon-dashed Mexican hot chocolate that’s alluring even with the summer heat. The dog follows the familiar Sonoran formula but lands with unusual balance, thanks to a bolillo toasted until golden and crackly. Few spots match the flavor or the open-late reliability, making this truck a cornerstone of Phoenix’s night shift." - McConnell Quinn
