Bacon-wrapped hot dogs.

The promise in those words led me to stop for lunch at El Güero Canelo on a recent trip to Arizona.

The Tucson restaurant has become something of a local institution since its founding over two decades ago. El Güero Canelo’s signature dish, the Sonoran Hot Dog, has a lot to do with it.

Maybe you’ve heard of the Sonoran Hot Dog before – a frank served in a fat bolillo rather than a bun, originating in Sonora, Mexico.

WHAT GOES INTO A SONORAN HOT DOG?

A bolillo-load of toppings come with it, too: tomato, mayo, mustard, jalapeño sauce, as well as onions.

Plus beans.

Oh, and did I tell you the frank comes wrapped in bacon?

My Sonoran Hot Dog (with those beans) was filling enough. But what made the meal taste special were the add-ons available at the condiment bar.

That’s where I found old favorites like salsa, pico de gallo, and discovered these crazy-looking grilled onions.

Salsa, pico de gallo, and grilled onions are among the sides available to complement your Sonoran hot dog at El Güero Canelo.

Delicious!

All in all, both Hubby L (who had ordered a simple beef burro that was PACKED!) and I found the food tasty and filling.
