Sonoran hot dog alert! Tucson favorite El Güero Canelo plans to open three Valley locations “as soon as possible,” according to owner Daniel Contreras.
El Güero Canelo is well-known for its Sonoran hot dogs, which are wrapped in bacon and topped with beans, tomatoes, onions, mustard, mayo and jalapeños, all stuffed in a Mexican bolillo roll.
The restaurant recently was featured on the Travel Channel’s “Food Wars,” where it competed against another Tucson fave, BK Carne Asada & Hot Dogs, for best Sonoran hot dog.
El Güero Canelo has two Tucson locations and plans to open a third May 1. Contreras says the first Phoenix location should open later this year at a location to be determined.
