Best Taco & Hot-dog Stand
BK Hot-Dogs
STAFF PICK: It was just a few short years ago that folks
caught their first glimpse of Bennie Galaz pushing his bright-red
hot-dog cart along the streets of Tucson's south side. His Sonoran
hot-dogs were addictive--large frankfurters wrapped in crispy
bacon, fresh chopped onions and tomatoes lovingly placed inside
the doughy cleft of a specially made bun. Topped with a patriotic
striping of ketchup, mayonnaise and green chile salsa, who could
resist? Now the tubular meat entrepreneur has permanent digs on
South 12th Avenue. He's expanded the menu slightly to include
his secret recipe for carne asada. Rumor has it that Galaz goes
through nearly 3,000 pounds of ribeye steak every month in his
attempt to meet the insatiable demands of his customers. BK's
fresh salsa bar always includes at least three varieties (don't
bother trying to determine which one is hottest--they're all fiery
but delicious); shredded cabbage, sliced cucumbers, pickled red
onions and a snappy guacamole. The crimson hot-dog stand still
stands at the front of the establishment and the same marvelous
wieners are still served from it. No single item at BK's exceeds
two bucks. Sit back, pop open a Mexican soda and let your digestive
juices tango to the strains of salsa music. To review: BK's is
delicious, BK's is cheap and BK's is fun. Why go anywhere else?
