Best Sonoran Hot-Dog Gorilla
22nd Street east of South Sixth Avenue STAFF PICK: A hot dog al estilo Sonora is one of
Tucson's cheapest, most profoundly satisfying treats. For $1.50,
Gorilla will fix you up with a tasty weenie cooked with
bacon and stuffed in a fresh bolillo with beans, salsa,
lettuce, tomato, chopped onion, mustard and mayo. Wash it down
with a syrupy, pungent Mexican Coke. !Exquisito! Open until
midnight on weekdays and 3 a.m. on weekends, Gorilla is there
even in your darkest hour. Behind the little cookstand are a few
tables with a romantic view of the Tucson Mountains and the Santa
Cruz Church, easily one of the most beautiful buildings in the
city.
