El Güero Canelo

Omg this is so freaken good!!! The carne Assad is delicious! Idk if I love the seating but it doesn’t matter when the food is just amazing! I am bringing my family next time!!!

Only place in Arizona that still sells Orange BANG! (that I know of), and yes before this one opened I used to drive to the one in Tucson… the end.

Unusual, I’ll give it that. this is not what one is used to when it comes to traditional Mexican (street)food…however…its not bad at all and then some!
They had all kind of fanangled stuff I’m not used to so I stuck to the basics: Carne asada burrito, oh… I ordered a large, what a mistake, that is not a large, its HUGE, no human can possibly finish that monstrosity, its over a foot long and over 3 inches in diameter. pure evil.
Bottom line, I’ll love to come back and try some of the other offerings. good stuff here.

Have you tried a Sonoran hotdog? Well even if you have, you need to try one at El Guero Canelo in Phoenix. Fully loaded and smothered with tomatoes, beans, mayo, mustard, and a spicy jalapeño sauce make this a dish to remember. The carne asada plates come with tortillas made on site. Top your dishes off with cucumbers, roasted or pickled onions, or a variety of salsas at the salsa bar.

I’ve driven by so many times and finally decided to stop by. Of course being that they are known The special of the day was the carne asada tacos and although they looked delicious, I opted for the hot dog instead because I wasn’t hungry enough to have the full plate of tacos. The famous Sonoran style hot dog was delicious as well as filling. The restaurant was very clean and inviting. I enjoyed my brief lunch there and will stop by again when I’m in the neighborhood.

Just tried this place and I had there carne asada torta. It was pretty good and thr flavor on the red salsa really made it over the top better. Great customer service, quick to get our food and super spacious in there. The only thing I didn’t like is that it seemed like they only have 1 size for the horchata, which by the way was delicious.

Being from Tucson I was happy to see this location open in Phoenix. I am a big fan. The owner even came to our table to see how we were enjoying our meals. Go with the hot dogs!

I used to go to El Guero Canelo in Tucson every chance I got. Soooo excited to have one here in Phoenix and not far from where I live. The Sonoran hot dogs are Excellent, a definite must when you come to this spot. I ordered a medium carne asada burrito which is still Huge. The owner happened to be there when we went in today, he is a great guy… very nice.

I ordered 2 Sonora style hot dogs with everything, A caramelo (quesadilla) de asada plain a Mexican Coke and strawberry Fanta that by the way it tasted waaaaaay better than the plastic bottle, this was the real deal Holyfield (Mexican glass bottle)
Food was bomb (delicious) as I was expecting, hot dog tasted just like the ones in Sonora and the quesadilla was good too.
I defiantly recommend this place to any one specially if you are a hit dog lover like me, Spread the word Guero Canelos is the place to eat in Phoenix: D

Sin sabor por mas que se le pone salsas limon no se le logra encontrar el sabor, ni a las salsas no hay punto de comparacion con el Ta Carbon.
Deben de mejorar como asan la carne y el sabor de las salsas, malisimo el Hot Dog ya solo es la fama

It’s so nice to have a part of Tucson in Phoenix. This place is a Tucson staple. We drove 30 minutes to get here. I don’t know if it’s just nostalgia but I still felt tucson was better but nonetheless it’s still delicious. They own the corner and they have a large room that you can se e through to view how they are making their food from scratch.
Always get the Sonoran dogs. That’s the best and main attraction. Bacon wrapped dog with beans, mustard, avocado paste, tomatoes, onions, sour cream. It’s so amazing. Followed with a real sugar Coke in the glass.

The sonoran dog was ok, not the best I have had. The beans were missing and loads of mustard overtook all the flavors. Will try again in hopes this was an off day.
2^nd visit the Sonoran Dog was a little better but still lacking flavor. Good thing for the salsa bar. Also tried their Caramelo with Carne Asada which lacked any spice at all, again thanks for the salsa Bar. I might try again if in the area but not as a destination.

My favorite place for sonran hot dogs! They are cheap and tasty! I’ve tried the carmelas, but prefer to stick w the hot dogs!

The legendary Sonoran Dog is something you can’t resist! The menu is pretty simple and delicious. Tacos, tortas, caramelos, burros and quesadillas along with a traditional condiment bar.
It isn’t Taco Bell or some fancy restaurant you might be used to, but it’s as authentic as you get. The prices are excellent and the staff is really courteous. You’ll see El Güero walking around making sure everything is in excellent order.
This is a place that you’ll definitely come back to!!!

I tried this place on a recommendation from a friend. Honestly, it didn’t taste much different or any better than la Pasdita Sonoran dogs, my go to place for my Sonoran dogs. I was expecting something amazing, maybe I built up my expectations too high.
Good place but slightly overpriced, I’ll stick to La Pasdita, taste the same, more variety and it’s cheaper.

It is really cool that we now have this famous Tucson restaurant in the Phoenix valley. Hot Dogs are one of my favorite past times and I deciced to go and check them out sooner than later.
This is an old Discount tire store where they remodeled the garage section into a seating area and turned the waiting room into their bakery. The acoustics are rather noisy and they are continuously calling out order numbers over the ear numbing speaker system.
Ordered two of the Sonoran Dogs with everything on them and a large Carmelo which comes with Beef, Beans and melted Cheese. They also have a really nice salsa bar with plenty of items to enhance the flavors of your meal.
The Hot Dogs were pretty good but not the best in town. The buns are not as sweet as they usually are at other places and a little more on the chewy side. It was difficult to taste the bacon and the flavors were a bit bland. The Caramelo was interestingly good and was even better with tons of added goodies from the salsa bar.
This place gets really busy and they do a pretty good job of getting the food out quickly. It was fun watching the excitement in all the happy customers as they sat down and ate with their extended families.
I’m going to round up on this particular restaurant and figure that they are still ironing out some the typical problems with opening any new location. Come on over and give them a shout out. You will find the experience to be fun and exciting. HOT DOG!

Been here a few times since they opened and, unfortunately, am not bullish on El Guero Canelo taking the Valley crown for best sonoran dog. As pretty much the only good non-​UA Basketball experience in Tucson, I had high hopes for EGC-​PHX.
Each time I’ve visited, the sonoran dogs were very mustard-​heavy, the caramello was light on the beans, and the onions were charred dry (even the large ones, which are easier to prepare). Still, their carne asada is excellent and their salsas are as good as I can remember. Here’s hoping this location is just having some growing pains because those of us who know the original are really rooting for this one to meet those high standards.

Lunch was on point at #elguerocanelo glad they came to #phoenix … One of Tucson’s BEST!!!

Went to one in Tucson and had a horrible experience, but was willing to give this one a try. no smiles from the staff, the prices are over market value. Sure are proud of their mediocre food.
Maybe I’m still tainted from my experience in Tucson, but I will never darken this establishment’s doorway again. FTP
The only good thing to get there is to get out!

La major restaurante con todas las cosas bonitas comidas. Te amo.
Nothing is this good in all of Phoenix. Thank you for coming up from Tucson!!!

Opening day at El Guero Canelo September 1, 2015.
Located at an old Discount Tire Store transformed nicely into a restaurant still with the roll up doors.
All I had today was the Sammy Dog — the double dog wrapped in bacon, just as good as the original in Tucson or on Oracle.
I understand it was the first day and will give the staff a break.
Will be back again for the Carne Asada Burrito and Tacos.
