Now you're talkin'.

AUSTIN, Texas — The Jackalope serves a killer hot dog.
And by "killer," I mean deadly as a cross-border drug skirmish: The house specialty known as The Tijuana is a heart attack wrapped in a coronary, fried in myocardial infarction and smothered in cardiac arrest.
(Translation: It’s a quarter-pound beef dog wrapped in bacon and deep-fried, then laid lovingly on a bun and topped with a generous portion of melted jack cheese. To give this death-king an edge, it’s crowned with jalapenos and chipolte mayo.)

Substitute the "mayo" with a chipotle relish & I am in.

& it's got all the food groups covered.

Ahhh, Exquisitos...para chuparse los dedos Used to eat them all the time in Tijuana.

You can always find a stand at 20th street and Indian school road every evening after 6pm 7 dys a week.

I'd heard about these and last time I was in Phoenix, I couldn't find one. There was one place in a strip mall that advertised them but it was closed the day I was in that area.

I do make my own Texified version: grilled bacon wrapped pencil link, chili, refriend beans, cheese, pico de gallo, and avocado slices. It is quite wonderful.

There is/was a stand on 4th and Congress that sells these things. I tried one and it was ok, personally I think I prefer a Chicago or kraut dog myself but I could see how other could like them a lot.

There's also a stand in front of one of the Fiesta supermarkets. I haven't tried it yet though. I think it's at the one up at 35th.
