| - Their Van says it all... Estilo Sonora. Los Mejores Del Valle. Con Tocino Enrollado. what???
Now I'm from New England, my family landed at Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 and the english language has been spoken here since. i 'know' no spanish and probably will learn very little. I have traveled quite a bit around the world where you need to speak a little of the language that you're visiting or living in. Not in Arizona. Here we have translators in our elementary schools that we PAY for in our taxes, everything is printed twice for non-english immigrants. wtf, so I now have to use a translation software to live in the united states? The translations says... "the capricious one", "Sonoran style Hot Dogs", "The Better Of The Valley. With Bacon Rolled Up"?
I've been stopping here weekend/evenings after the car wash closes and ordering "2 with everything" or "dos con todo" and a bottle of coke (mexican, the one with real sugar and not high fructose corn syrup) for several months now and I will be returning again and again. For the "With Bacon Rolled Up" part, I have no knowledge of what that could be, but for street meat, it's a great stop. $3.00 per dog. Just across from Maverick Saloon on 19th near Hatcher in Francis & Sons Car Wash parking lot (next to Sonic).
Last night is the first night that they actually had someone who spoke english to take my order, for the owner and the majority of her patrons speak very little to none at all. But money talks and I'm fine with that. I've been frequenting this haunt for quite awhile, and last night I got to ask some questions. The dogs are great, and it's a nice clean set-up, and I JUST found out you have your choice of having the bun toasted or steamed. For me the steamed bun is the way to go, seems like back home New Haven street vendor, but mexican. Cool.
I love mexican food, I love being in the southwest, I love these hot dogs stands that I stumble across in my travels (and I stop at many of these just to find the best). PSSST, hey it's this one! I found it. They do one thing, and they do it well, That's why I return time and again. Even with the language barrier and that they put mayonnaise on their everythingdogs... yes mayonnaise?!! I just want you to know, know that for a finicky culinary searcher, you'll need to stop by and yelp in too.
El Caprichoso Hot Dogs - "Characterized by or subject to whim; impulsive and unpredictable" also is available for catering and private events. Hopefully they'll supply their own translator.
