    BKs was a great place to eat and staff was friendly! My favorites were the carne asada tacos and toritos (careful they are spicy!) But everything was good!

    Sorta is a rough spot but not dangerous. The food was nice for what it was, which I guess is the local fare as I haven’t seen this type anywhere outside of Arizona. The Toritos were bacon wrapped, deep fried jalapeños, which were very nice, but the accompanying lime sauce and what might be soy sauce were total misses. The Sonoran was fine. Pinto beans were a tad much as they don’t have much flavor and were just filler. But all the ingredients together made for a decent enough meal.

    Excellent. Nice people, yummy delish Mexican food. $$$ Little expensive tho, due to Bidenomics. $40 for 2 reg size burros, chips and salsa, no drinks.

    The Sonoran hotdog was good but the street tacos were amazing. Great variety of sauces and toppings to add.

    I have been coming here for as long as I can remember, they consistently have great food and great value for your money. Carne asada and hotdogs were on point!

    I don't really want to tell you how great the food is, but, it was fantastic. Wonderful wait staff and compliments to the cook! If you want to know where to go just follow the locals to the best place!

    Let's start with the good - service was top notch! Super friendly, very attentive and food came out fast. The whole restaurant is a vibe, you have the open salsa space and you could just go and chill for a cool dinner. However, the food was just meh. It wasn't bad but it just was nothing special, and for the price of items, it better be super special. So I give this place a 4 but it really is the vibes and service doing the work.

    Great food, this place could be a five star if they up their service a little bit. I had the carne asada burro (5 star burro)! All family members enjoyed their dishes and drinks.

    Really good carne asada. There is a salsa bar with lots of good salsas and cheeses. I’ve been here 3 times and would recommend for good tacos in Tucson. Also have to try the Sonoran Hot Dog and Toritos when here.

    Stopped in for a Saturday lunch. We were greeted by super friendly staff that was very attentive to all the customers who walked in. The michelada was phenomenal and went well with the adobada tacos and hot dogs. The condiments bar had everything you could possibly need. They have some of the best salsa around too. Most definitely need to try if you haven't. I will be coming back soon

    This is a good restaurant to order a Sonoran Hot Dog, they also have good Carne Asada. The restaurant has a good self service salsa bar. The other items I ordered were okay. Overall, I had a good experience.

    Very lively, clean, fast environment, smells of food filled the room. Waitress was nice, very customer service oriented, stayed on her grind to keep checking on us, their customer. We were seated in an area in the back, ambiance was great for us, a little lamp, and that is all we needed to view the menu. It was cool and comfortable. I ordered the caramello and two tacos, it was the best I'd tasted in a while. You serve yourself to the fresh salad bar, get your salsas and dig in. Choose to sit inside or outside, summer heat maybe inside. Overall a great place to bring the kids or just a nice time for you and your partner.

    I’ve been eating Sonoran Dogs for years and finally decided to give this place a try. I ordered the one with Chorizo, so a head to head comparison was not a simple task. With that being said, the dog itself had a decent enough quality, the bacon, beans, cheese, and other toppings faired well also. Service was very good, friendly. For me the music volume is a bit loud, kind of fiesta loud, causing us to raise our voices to talk across the table. Overall I’d return to try other menu items.

    Very impressed with the food and service. I'd highly recommend this place. The updates with the new patio are definitely a 5☆ in my book.

    Good food. The Sonoran hot dog was tasty and the atmosphere was ok. However, the service was really slow. Our server was so nice but had to try and balance, like, ten tables, so we got forgotten about. Not her fault that the server to table ratio was bad, but I was disappointed with our experience. If I went again, I would get the food to go and order ahead.

    Chicken Lorena was pretty good, asada was a bit gristley. Salsa bar was great though.

  • 5/5 Ken M. 1 year ago on Google
    A+ A+A+, such a great little place for some fantastic Mexican Food. The Carne Asada is fantastic, how ever you get it. I had a Regular Carne Asada Burro and a Carne Asada Sonora Dog. Both were Great! The Salsa bar is well stocked with just about anything you need for your meal. Super friendly staff and service!!

    I brought my family to BK's after we first went to the 'other place'. They wanted to do a taste test of the Sonoran Dogs. I have to say there is a big difference between the two. I do like the extra mustard taste to the Sonoran dog and there is such a difference in the bread that I can't say I prefer one over the other. I could probably eat more BK dogs than the other place's. We also tried the Guacamole. I would give that alone 5 stars. That alone is reason enough to come here. I didn't understand this place was more of a sit down than a place to just grab a quick bite. So, we ended up have a waiter and tipping them and all we wanted was to taste the hot dogs. All in all I like this place and Ill back for the Guac for sure!

    There's always a full house when I go, but servíce is always friendly & on point. I haven't been dissatisfied with food or service (; the prices are a lil spicy lol but its nice to get out & have a good meal. Thx 💚

    The service is standard. The horchata is decent but a little watered down. I had a Sonoran Hot Dog , two tacos (chicken + carne asada). The hot dogs are 4/10 , the ones at Guerro Canelo across the street are better. The Chicken taco was okay 5.5 / 10 but I’ve had better similar to El Guerro Canelo . The carne asada was the best out of the food I ordered . The service was standard. Overall I would come back but only order items with the carne asada . They do have a self serving condiment bar . The food is a little pricy it cost me about 20$ for my meal.

    Fantastic food! Lots of options and combos to choose from. The salsa bar has a lot available. Everything was great, service was fast and friendly, and despite being very busy the seating was comfortable and lowkey.

  • 5/5 Adam D. 1 year ago on Google
    I think I've rated BK before... it's always delicious and the service staff is friendly and fast. We had chilaquiles with salsa verde and it was excellent. Also 2 tacos with adobada and 1 with cabeza. Excellent!

  • 5/5 Rich S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is absolutely the best for Sonoran hotdogs and Carne asada tacos and burritos....Mesquite grilled beef made to order....this should be on your list of restaurants to try....beats anything in Oregon.

    I saw a profile of BK on Food Network and thought, "That's a place I need to go." BK did not disappoint. We had the Sonoran Hotdogs, and they were a treat. Our group decided that the Sonoran 'Dogs were great, but they're messy to eat. I nominated the dogs for, "Worst food to eat on a first date". Load up the car with friends you are comfortable with, go to BK's and enjoy.
