The Blacktop Grill - Tucson

My wife and I stopped here on a trip down to Tuscon, and I'm sure glad we did! Super friendly staff and the food was Superb! We will definitely be stopping back in anytime we are in Tuscon.

Super tasty food! Fantastic service! We'll be back next time we're in Tucson!

Tacos good but overpriced. Most expensive tacos in my life??‍

Sadly the place was empty but the Sonoran Dog and Mexican Street Corn were top notch!! Excellent food value. I stopped in here during a business trip and uttered a sentence I never thought I would say: “That was an amazing hot dog!!”Will definitely vista again when I’m in the area! Wish they sold T-Shirts or hats.

For context, we got a to-go order, and I had the Sonoran hotdog, Elotero hotdog, and Chile Relleno hotdog w/ fries and Dr Pepper.I'm a little conflicted on this review. The owner and staff were wonderful, but the food was only okay. I'm tempted to leave 3 stars but I'm going with 4 stars because I can tell they are generally using high quality ingredients, but something about the hotdogs is off and it took me a moment to realize what it is: the buns.For Sonoran Dogs, a key and often overlooked aspect is using the right buns. You can't use a standard hot dog bun recipe or shape, you need a specific bun and that's where I think they're falling short. The buns on my dogs felt and tasted like a traditional American hot dog bun: firm, dense, inoffensively bland. Sonoran buns though should instead be noticeable on the first bite: a pillowy softness, a gentle buttery milkiness, and a shape reminiscent of bolillos.I think with the right buns, this place would definitely be a place I would recommend to my friends and family. My hope is to dine-in soon and see if there's any appreciable difference between takeout or eating in, but as for now I'll hold off on any recommendations unless they are on a more Keto centric diet
