Been going to one the locations down in Tucson for years and thrilled when came up to the Valley. It tastes the same. I'm not getting into the Guero vs. BK debate, just going to talk about this awesome hot dog.
The well-prepared Sonoran hot dog may be one of the most perfect hot dogs out there. The balance between the bacon-wrapped dog with the semi-sweet roll and the beans, tomato, crema. It is magical. Like the cheap but up-scale version of the LA ghetto dog. I can't say enough good things about the this hot dog.
I also always get a carmelo. The carne asada here is not the best, but it is flavorful, not too dry, with some good grilled smoky flavor. The beans and carne asada combo makes for a nice filling snack, almost overly savory to balance out the sweet/tart/savory of the hot dog.
It's a little out of the way for me, but I should make more trips out here. It's delicious.
