Sonoran Dog Trail

The vibrant culinary scene in Tucson, Arizona is a delicious reflection of its origins, a place where Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American traditions all meet. And in a city known for its rich food heritage and the way food connects across the region, it’s no surprise that the Sonoran hot dog is a Tucson food staple. Originating in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, the mouthwatering Sonoran hot dog blends the best of Mexican and American street food – a grilled, bacon-wrapped frank nestled in a soft bolillo-style roll, loaded with pinto beans, chopped tomato and onion, mayonnaise, mustard and salsa. The resulting flavor is bold, indulgent and deeply rooted in the borderlands culture of southern Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.
