Mexican Hot Dogs
Too hot to cook? Or to lazy? Want a quick and easy tummy filler? Walk out of your home in Guaymas and within a block or two you are sure to find a hot dog vender or 2 or 3.
We have tried a couple close to home and so far they good, hard to pick a favorite. Hot dogs here are nothing like what you get in Canada when you order a hot dog. They are filled with all sorts of things and are a messy thing to eat; but tasty.
The fellow shown below does the following to his "dogs". First he wraps the hot dog with bacon and then grills it. Then into the bun it goes with whatever you want. We say "con todos", with everything, and he loads it up. Bacon wrapped hot dog, fried onions, tomato salsa with peppers, cheese sauce, guacamole sauce, mustard, ketchup,and mayo.. He also adds a big smile as he hands it to you. Roy says that it is impossible to eat more than 2. They are good.
It took us a long time to try one as we don't particularily care for the hot dogs down here when we had made them at home. One night we decided that all those people at the stands couldn't be wrong and tried one and then 2. We were hooked.
So if you have never tried a hot dog at a stand down here, go to your nearest stand soon. Bet you can't have only one.

I know! Mexico loves her Hot Dogs. We were at the grand opening for Wal-Mart in Acapulco. They actually brought a Lear Jet into the packing lot. How, I have no idea, but leave it up to a Mexican to get any load down the road. Anyway, I degress. Wal-mart had an entire section devoted to hot dogs. There must have been over 60 different kinds all in lovely displays behind glass cases with white coated attentants standing right behind. Then once again in Acapulco, I ordered at meat and cheese tray for a snack at that Mayan Palace and I had to laugh, I got 3 kinds of cut up hot dogs with individual tooth picks and 3 different processed sliced cheeses. And, it was all served so beautifully with my Moet Champagne. I love Mexico!
I was bored more than hungry one night in Ticul, the family was sleeping, I was reading by the window. The line at the hot dog cart was 6 deep on the plazza, had to try one. Ended up with 6 before it was over and a bit of a tum tum problem but they were good
Chrissy and Keith: that is too funny.
Norm: I would have been so sick if I would have eaten 6. Can't even imagine eating that many. 2 is my absolute maximum.
Yikes from a vegetarians point of view - a bacon wrapped hot dog is a heart attack looking for a place to happen!
At my age I would only eat six standing next to an ambulance :-)
Calypso: Yes, the hot dogs are a heart attack in a bun, something not to be eaten often. A lot of the food down here is like that, you need to choose carefully. We mostly prepare our own foods, heavy on the veggies, very little red meat, lots of lean chicken, next to zero prepared foods, etc.; but once in awhile we do splurge and go for it. Here we find food to be very fat laden, lots of cream, cheese, and lard are used. Tasty treats but not very healthy for a regular diet.
Personally I cannot imagine eating 6 of them as Norm above said he did; but they are tasty. lol
Six dogs is pretty normal when I'm eating dogs but that is not very often. My wife is a vegan so my fare runs to fruit and fiber-like I said they were all asleep! At my age a diet of hot dogs would have me in the ground in short order, as would ice cream, pork chops and ribs. I made kale mashed taters and fruit cut ups last night with green beans on the side. I have no death wish.
