Born in Magdalena, Sonora in 1961, Daniel Contreras opened his first hot dog stand in Tucson in 1993. As a boy he ate, slept and breathed baseball (he was nearly a champion at 12), now he puts that same drive into Sonoran food.
He owns and operates three El Guero Canelo restaurants, a meat market in Tucson, a bakery and tortilla factory in Magdalena (he had to be sure the quality was just right).
