The buns and tortillas served at T-Loc's Sonora Hot Dogs are shipped in right from Tucson, one of the first cities in the U.S. to catch wind of the Sonoran-style frank—which comes wrapped in bacon and smothered with a slew of gourmet ingredients. So you know that you're eating the authentic thing at T-Loc's Sonora Hot Dogs, a popular food truck in Austin.

Regular patrons highly recommend the "con todo," which is Spanish for "with everything." The dog lives up to its name. Swathed and grilled in a blanket of bacon, the frank is then topped with baked beans, tomatoes and onions, jalapeños, mustard, and mayo. You can get the con todo meat-free if you opt for a veggie dog, which has veganaise on top instead of mayo. If you're not in the mood for a hot dog, try the carne asada burrito instead—it's also very popular among patrons.
