This place was featured on Man versus Food, not for the
challenge part but one of the other places in Tucson. Since then they recently opened one in Phoenix
and I was very excited about trying it out. This place looked kind of like an old
tire place. When you walk from the parking lot to the door you could see the
tortillas being made. It wasn’t very
busy when we got here so we went right up to the counter. I
wanted to try one of their famous Sonoran dogs, but also something else. So I
got a Sonoran dog and one Carne Asada taco and a Mexican Coke we then found a
table and got some stuff from the salsa/condiment bar; which had a lot of good
stuff. We waited for our number to be called, so we could get our food but it
was brought out to us.
After one bite I was in heaven. This was the greatest
hot dog I’ve ever had. It was a bacon wrapped hot dog topped with grilled
onions, beans jalapeno sauce, tomato, mayo and mustard on a substantial Bolillo
roll. This hotdog was so good we even had to plan another trip before we left
town. The taco was just okay but the tortilla was homemade and really good.
On our next visit we didn’t mess around we just each got two Sonoran dogs and a Mexican Coke. The one thing I couldn’t believe was there were not many people in this place, but the McDonald’s across the parking lot was packed and the drive-through had a long line when this place had such a great hot dog that was pretty cheap as well. If you’re ever in Tucson or Phoenix I would definitely recommend El Guero Canelo for one of the best hot dogs you can find.
