Our Story
El Guero Canelo has been a proud part of Tucson’s community for over three decades. Since opening as a humble hot dog stand in 1993, we’ve grown into a beloved destination for authentic Sonoran Mexican food.
Founded by Daniel Contreras, El Guero Canelo now includes three local restaurants and a meat market, offering a menu of classics like Sonoran hot dogs, carne asada tacos, burros, and tortas.
