This is one of the more interesting Sonoran dog stands I’ve found so far, in that they don’t just give you the same thing you could get anywhere else. Los Gordos gives you three options, of which I tried two: First, there’s the«Ungaro,» which is a standard Sonoran dog with a yellow chili and cheese in it. The added ingredients don’t distract from the standard Sonoran dog flavor: they just kick it up a notch. For fans of the genre, this is definitely worth trying. Second is the«California,» which replaces the standard bacon-wrapped hot dog with a flavorful(smoked?) beef sausage, topped with all the standard Sonoran dog toppings. For someone who’s eaten as many Sonoran dogs as I have, biting into this thing can only be described as shocking. I’m not completely sure that I think the Sonoran dog toppings really go with the beef sausage, but it’s not really possible for something like this to actually taste BAD — it was just odd. The sausage itself was also really good, so that helped. Again, I’d say this is worth trying, though perhaps more for the novelty than because I think it’s really an improvement on the standard. I didn’t write down the name of the third hot dog on offer, but I think it was called a Percheron. In any case, the guy said he didn’t have all the ingredients to make me one, so tough luck(though it’s not like I was going to eat three hot dogs). If I happen by the stand again, I’ll try to get the scoop. But overall, this was a pretty fun Sonoran dog experience — if you’re in the area, I’d definitely say to check these guys out.
