Mexican-Style Sandwiches, Hot Dogs Fill A Niche

Arizona Republic:

The owners of 2 new Chandler restaurants are feeding off of each other’s success in what has become a mini-hub of popular Mexican food specialties just north of downtown.

Moreno’s Mexican Grill and Tortas El Güero, opened next to each other in January, and their owners say it almost sounds like a funny coincidence - in Spanish, güero means someone who has light hair and moreno means someone who has a dark complexion.

‘It’s pretty funny that we opened right next door to each other,’ said Ángel Moreno, Moreno’s owner. He also thought it was interesting that Tortas El Güero, an authentic Mexican restaurant, opened in a location formerly occupied by a Taco Bell.

Both of the new restaurants offer tasty specialties that are wildly popular fast-food staples in Mexico.
