History:
The Hot Dog was first introduced to Mexico in the 1943 by a
couple of American entrepreneurs who purchased a
concession stand at the Plaza Mexico City bull ring. The
entrepreneurs figured Hot Dogs were such a hit with baseball
fans in America, they should be just as popular with bullfight
fans in Mexico. It is believed the bacon wrapped Hot Dog
with all the trimmings began to appear in 1956. An
unidentified Hot Dog cart in Mexico City's Parque de la
Alameda began serving bacon wrapped dogs to employees
of the newly constructed Torre Latino Americana. At the time
Torre Latino Americana was then the tallest building in Latin
America, and the fourth in height in the world outside New
York. Today you will find the Hot Dog all over Mexico,
depending on the region you will see variances on the types
of trimmings used and what the dog is called. In California I
often hear the bacon wrapped Hot Dog being referred to as a
TJ Dog, Tijuana Hot Dog, Street Dog, Dangerous Dog, and
Dirty Dog
