My first visit to T-Loc's Sonora Hot Dogs and wow, what a way to be introduced to this spot!…read more I met up with a fellow Yelper friend and we got there not long after opening, which turned out to be a very smart move. While we were waiting for our food, it suddenly became a whole scene, it was National Hot Dog Day, and the line just kept growing and growing. People were fully committed too, hot dog shirts, hot dog hats, I'm pretty sure I saw a walking hot dog at one point. Add in folks bringing their own ice chests of beer and it felt like a little hot dog party. We decided to go big and ordered every kind of dog they make so we could share and try them all. A super sweet lady brought our order out to us, which I loved. No waiting around trying to hear someone shout out your name. And let me tell you, every single one was damn good. You really can't go wrong here. My favorite ended up being the classic chili cheese dog, because apparently I like to keep it old school, ha. But seriously, Mr. T-Loc knows exactly what he's doing with his chili recipe! I also tried an agua fresca for the first time and now I get the hype. So refreshing and good. Next time, I've got my eye on one of those big burritos because they looked crazy good, no joke. Accessibility wise, they do have accessible parking, which is a huge plus. The seating is a mix of circular and standard picnic tables, some with shade, but not the most wheelchair-friendly setup. They do have a ramp up to the covered area and I made it work by parking at an angle at the end of a table, nothing was getting between me and those dogs. Bottom line, this is a must try spot if you're craving great food and don't skip on the fresh made agua fresca!

Went here for my lunch break since I saw it on tiktok. I…read morehaven't had a bacon wrapped hot dog before so I knew I had to get one. It was BOMBBBB! I'm not a big fan of beans so I will skip them next time. The hotdog had such a great flavor. The ranch fries were also really good because it had soooooo much cheese. I'm a cheese girl so it was eaten first. I had my food handed I think by the owner and he was also super nice and happy that I tried it! Shout out T-LOC'S!!!!

Bun wasn't that great either, kinda dry too. Topping were fresh but didn't save this poor dog. I had such high expectations but I guess they were misplaced. Their saving grace were the fries which were pretty crispy and tasty. Maybe it was an off day, IDFK. But how can you have an off day with hot dogs? For $8+, there's probably better out there.

Dog Haus is my go to when I just want to get out. It's close to home, I like their tots and sliders…read moreand I love that one strawberry sour cocktail. They're perfectly made, a little sweet, & the strawberry flavor is delicious. I did order their tots. I got their Southwest version. Although it's not on the menu, they hook me up with it. Comes with cheese sauce pickled jalapeños and slices of avocado. Just love them. When I come here I usually sit at the bar. Rea, is such a Doll, she always checks in on me, asking if I need another drink, or anything off the menu if I haven't ordered anything yet. She's very attentive to everyone around the bar. And she'll chat with me for a little bit. Friendly service, always on point, very consistent food and drinks.

Haven't been here in awhile and we decided to give a try before going out for live music…read more There was one staff member working the bar, the front register and running food. So waiting to get a drink to awhile while sitting at the bar. People were standing in line about 8 people to order and the kitchen hitting some bell for her to run food. We ordered a beer and food, the tots were cold, the mutha cluck sandwich was inconsistent with temperature and chicken was dry. He had the burrito and the bacon were small pieces that were super hard and pulled on side of the burrito but temperature was good. The food was just blah, nothing to brag about. The beer tasted funny (like sour taste) and it wasn't just one type of beer it was several. They had a man sitting up to play for live music., he played well but it was loud so hard to hear him if you are back of restaurant. Don't think we will be back anytime soon since the time before wasn't that good either. Hope the girl who was work the front, bar and running food gets paid for 3 peoples job. She did a great job ensuring recognized each guest that came in and the ones there she acknowledged their needs.

Overall: 3.3/5 We…read morewere passing by on a Friday night and it was pretty empty since it had been raining earlier. We only ordered one hot dog and it was ready right after we paid. They have a few tables to sit at which is what we did. Just a heads up they charge a 4% service fee. Fully Loaded Beef Dog ($6.50): Came with cream cheese, honey mayo, crunchy mix, caramelized onions, Asian ketchup, chipotle mustard, sriracha, and green sauce. The description makes it sound like a hefty and loaded hot dog but it really wasn't. It's a standard hot dog with a lot of sauces. I did like the way they cooked and sliced it in half though. It was okay but nothing special, though I can see this being a solid drunk food option. I still think dirty dogs are better.

This is a hidden gem that I've been to 3 times in the past month because of how consistent they are…read morein flavor/quality and overall customer experience. I am thankful to have some Austin friends that originate from the El Paso area to give me the rec on this spot, because it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in town! The Drowned El Paso style Beef Tacos are fantastic, as is the Chile Relleno burrito. Stiff drinks, quick and friendly service and an easy situation to bring my kids and their friends...ALL great reasons to check this place out! I now need to find the will power to try something different on the menu. Y'all keep it up, you're nailing it!

I've had the pleasure of visiting EP thrice. Once with my sister and mom, another by myself. The…read moremenu has several versions of huge franks wrapped with bacon, covered by a myriad of choices like chili, cheese, pepper, onions, tomatoes nestled between a solid split (homemade?) perfect bun. The menu includes flavors and fusions of El Paso style fare. Enchiladas, tacos, and uniquely French fried potatoes. The one thing that makes it short of amazing, and maybe unfair considering the carefully crafted fare, is the excessive saltiness. The portions are huge. Enough for two. The aguas frescas ARE homemade. None of that powdered stuff, here. I encourage you to go and support this local restaurant if and when you can.

I've driven by this place so many times and had an hour to spare between appointments and was…read morehungry, so stopped in. I didn't feel like a burger though so I got the Classic Coney hotdog which is full of Detroit style chili (thick meat chili with no beans), and loaded with red onions and shredded cheddar cheese, then topped with mustard. It was delicious and filling. It Truly was like a dog you'd get at a Coney's in Detroit, MI. IYKYK. Then I heard you had to try the latke here, so I got Bubbe's OG Latkes which is 2 round thick potato pancakes! It came with sour cream and Smutz smoky aoli sauce on the side. I tried it both ways and it was good. But really it was best with that cold creamy sour cream that goes so well with the potato flavor. They also have great drinks which are refillable for free while you dine in. And I love the chill vibe and decor. Great artwork and old photos. Very funky! I was a big fan of their sandwich restaurant on Burnet (which closed), so I'm glad I finally got to check out this spot! Great place!!

The soft brioche buns fall apart with cheese and sauce, so I recommend requesting toasted buns. In this visit, I had to try the Drunk Jewboy, which is another I hopes comes back to stay on the menu.

This was my first time trying Korean hot dogs and OoooohK-Dog…read more We ordered a few different dogs and an egg toast so we could try a bit of everything. The potato dog was a big standout. Crispy on the outside with fluffy potato chunks and honestly didn't even need the mustard drizzle after all. Crunchy, salty, and ridiculously fun to eat. The classic mozzarella dog was also solid with that satisfying cheese pull everyone wants and a perfectly fried coating. The batter was my favorite part of everything we tried. I'm convinced they could batter a book and it would still be good! The egg toast surprised me. I love egg sandwiches but this was STACKED. Now I'm genuinely sad I don't have this spot near me because I would eat that egg toast constantly. Thick, buttery toast stuffed with soft eggs, avocado, and a sauce that I have no idea what it was but absolutely loved. It tied everything together perfectly and made the whole sandwich feel extra special. I wish they sold this sauce in a bottle for my eggs at home! The space itself is clean, casual, and easy to navigate. Plenty of room to sit without feeling cramped, ordering was simple, and the menu does a great job explaining all the options. The staff was super helpful and even pointed us toward the most popular items to try first. This is the kind of place you stop into out of curiosity and leave already planning your next order. If you like street food, and eats that are a little different but still familiar, this is absolutely worth the stop. Crispy, cheesy, and very snackable.

This was my first time enjoying Korean corn dog, and it was amazing. If you're craving a fun and…read moreridiculously delicious snack, these Korean corn dogs are a must-try. The outside had that perfect golden crunch, and the inside was soft and cheesy. We tried a few different styles from the classic with ketchup and mustard to the sugar-coated one and the potato-crusted version. The sweet-and-savory combo was so good, and the cheese pull top tier.

Our first time here; stopped on a whim looking for a place to have lunch while in CP…read more Positives: -We went right to the counter to order, not busy. -Didn't wait long for our meals. -Cheeseburger meat, corn dogs, tater tots and burger secret sauce tasted good. Negatives: -Order taker/server's heavy accent very difficult to understand. -A la carte; no combos. Side portions (tots) are enough for two people we found out after ordering. -Didn't realize the burgers come with 4 Hawaiian slider rolls as the bun; we ordered off the wall menu behind the counter. Upon picking up the burger, the 4 rolls immediately broke apart as did the hamburger patty. Ended up being a "hamburger salad". -Cheeseburger comes with pickles; found jalapeños instead, on the bottom. - Coke at the fountain tasted like Diet Coke, thought maybe the lines were crossed. Server tried it and also at the bar then checked in the back and said "out of Coke." Impressions: Didn't care for slider rolls in place of a burger bun, as it makes for a big fall-apart mess. Sweet Hawaiian comes in actual hamburger and hotdog buns!! More negatives than positives so we don't plan on going back.

They also offer Italian beef sandwiches and even a combo option with a dog and half an Italian beef. Crinkle-cut fries were great too. The service was super friendly and genuinely happy to have customers. It's a food trailer parked outside The Saxon Pub, so seating is on the covered patio which doubles as the smoking area, so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to smoke. They don't serve drinks from the truck, but you can easily grab one from the Saxon Pub staff. I got a Topo Chico and they were quick and attentive. Parking is a challenge on this stretch of South Lamar but I would definitely go back. A perfect taste of Chicago in South Austin.
