The 9inch hotdogs were so good we got the one with the hot Cheetos and my sister got one with the other chips and we got bacon and cheese fries and a coke bottle it was really good food we ate the whole thing
Solid hotdogs, tons of snack options. The main area is small but they have like a whole side bar area which is nice.
The quesadilla I had was warm .The presentation was on point too! The foil wrapping kept everything warm and made it super convenient to enjoy on the go.
Good hot dogs and fast service. We went on a Saturday a little after 12 and had our food within 10 minutes. They have additional indoor seating right next to the ordering room that is very nice. Hot dogs were huge and loaded with lots of toppings.
This SATX gem really shines! We have had just about everything on their menu, including their taco offerings on their "secret" menu / ghost kitchen taqueria. All are delicious! Highlights for me are the Corndog, loaded fries, and asada tacos. The corn in a cup is also amazing but I cut the hot Cheeto dust as it's not my favorite. Otherwise you can't go wrong with El Chunky!
The food was great! The dog is worth $11 a piece!! Small space with only couple of bar chairs to sit and wait or enjoy your food, my company and I ate outside on the truck which gave us a cool Mexico type of vibe. The food is made to order so yes it took some time but totally worth the wait. Only thing I would recommend is more space or a bigger location. The service was quick and the cashier was friendly. They also have stickers!! I would recommend you come by!!
I couldn't handle all 9 inches But,The flavors were great.I got Al pastor on my hot dog and would like to try their tacos next. This place is worth the visit. If you're like me you will even have another 4 inches to snack on later. Next time I'd like to try a more classic dog to really get to enjoy the bacon wrapped dog.
We'd heard about this place but never stopped in until today - we've been missing out! This place isn't a big place - in fact if you're not looking for it, you may miss it. When you walk inside there is a small area to order and there are 7 seats at counters facing out. If the weather is nice, there are also a few tables outside but their website does warn of limited seating. This is THE place for Mexican hot dogs. The dogs are 9" (and their window has a semi-humorous statement about 9" - I'll let you figure that one out for yourself). We decided to try the bacon and cheese fries, which were actually good. They had cheese sauce and bacon throughout and not just plopped on top like a lot of places do. My wife tried the Chiponky which is a dog, spicy chipotle cream, buttered sweet corn, cotija cheese, fried and grilled onions and mayo. I have to say - I tried some and it was . . . REALLY good! When we go back I'm going to get one! I was having a hard time deciding and there was a group behind us waiting to order, so I panicked and just ordered the first dog on the menu - literally - the Chunky Street which is a dog with bacon, tomatoes, grilled jalapeños, grilled onions, mustard, ketchup and mayo. It was very good as well. They have many other varieties of dogs to choose from as well as other Mexican food. This hidden place is awesome and you'll be glad you stopped by! The staff (one up front and one in back) was very friendly and helpful! We will be going back!
Well we had to go again and once again no disappointed belly here! Always super friendly customer service and we were excited to learn about new items coming soon to the menu. The menu is already fantastic. They are super quick to clean off the counters for seating and available spaces from inside or outside. It was nice and sunny and not cold luckily that day. We appreciate any local business and pray they continue to be successful' hard work pays off!
When it comes to food and customer service....This place has not disappointed. Yelp introduced this hidden gem to me about a year ago and I came back 1.8.24 wanting to see what changes have happened since my first visit. They've expanded their menu There's now music and additional seating indoors YAY! They sell funny stickers for 1.49 check the pics out!! And let's not forget their selfie window (that's what ima call it lol no ands, ifs, or butts!) Social media: TikTok, FB, Insta. Go check them out! On this day, they were having their dogs 15% off and five mini tacos instead of four. I got the keep me chunky combo Beef sausage with smoked bacon, tomatoes, grilled jalapeños, grilled onions, covered in ketchup, mayo, and mustard. Let's not forget the loaded cheese fries with bacon bits and canned soda. My forever plus one got mini tacos. Typically contains 4 but their deal offered five #Winning. They were on point! We didn't even realize that no guac was included. Can't wait to try the next dog Will continue to recommend.
