I would definitely recommend. read more

El Chunky - #5 Chiponky - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Love this place! I've grown up in this neighborhood and this location has been so many different entities the past 10 years. By far the best business to take over this spot! The ambience is super inviting and super smooth. Front the front counter to the bar area next door. The owner was super kind and informative about the menu (which is big with plenty of options!). I got the number 3, the closest item to a chili dog, but it has crispy fried onions. It was sooo good and the house made chili was super good with a kick of spice. My favorite Mexican hot dog spot I will definitely be back to try more!!!! read more

El Chunky - Number 3 - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I was craving hot dogs but didn't want Sonic nor did I want to go to the north side for any Chicago style hot dogs even though they are good AF. But I've heard about El Chunky, a small indie hot dog restaurant that has been open on the south side for a few years. I looked at the pics here on Yelp and looked at the menu. Different types of hot dogs are offered here with lots of sauce and types of meat but I didn't want anything weird or fancy. The prices here are pretty high, about $10 per hot dog. I'm more used to paying $6 for a hot dog but there's this inflation thing to consider. I pulled into the parking lot and noticed a huge sheet of plywood in front of a window that was broken due to a robbery that occurred over a year ago. I was having a slight hard time finding the main entrance. I tried to open of the front doors but was pointed at another door by one of the employees. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a friendly young lady at the counter and told me to take a search anywhere so I did. The ordering system was a bit confusing cuz I thought she'd come to my table but I had to go to the counter to order. I ordered the Chunky Street minus the mayo and ketchup, tomatoes, bacon and jalapeños. I was going to get the chili dog but I asked her if the chili had beans in it and she said yes so I changed my mind and got a second Chunky Street served the same way , a side of fries and a water. My food arrived minutes later. The fries were fresh and hot but they were the Ore Ida crinkle cut type and I didn't like them and didn't finish the fries and just ate the hot dogs. Both were good but the franks were huge. I should've ordered just one. I will return soon. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Stopped in after attending a wrestling show nearby, so it was probably around midnight. The service was amazing we were served quickly, the food was served fast and tasted amazing, and had nice chill vibes. Love that they're open late, and is definitely perfect if you're out on the town having a few drinks. read more

CAN Y'ALL HANDLE 9 INCHESS OF THICC JUICY MEATT? Not only are the hot dogs one of a kind their al pastor tacos were the best I ever had! They got 9 inchers packed with a generous amount of toppings and lots of combinations to try out! The sausages themselves were thick and juicy and the buns were super light and fluffy! We got the #3 chunky street hot dog and the crispy onions were so so good. The toppings go well with the hot dog and it was so filling. One issue was that the hot dogs were so long that it was hard to pick them up without spilling any of the yummy toppings. The buns were so light that the fillings broke through them sometimes. I also got the mini tacos and I think they come with either 4 or 5 small tacos and you can either choose beef or pork. I got the beef al pastor and it comes with lots of cilantro, oninos, guacamole, and spicy salsa on the side. These were definitely so good and authentic and so filling! Defintely a great menu item! The resteraunt is kind of small inside but they do have outdoor seating! Great hole in the wall and this place definitely deserves more recognition! Super innovative menu with super friendly staff. Will definitely be coming more often! They also open until like 2am so if this place was anywhere near me when I'm not sober I'd sell them out immediately lmaoo read more

Went last with my family and I can't wait to go back! My grandson wanted to try it out because he loves hotdogs They have a variety of options. I ordered the chunky chillin with grilled onions. It was absolutely delicious. Grilled to perfection! The bun was delicious. Tasted like bakery bread and it was nice and toasty. The wiener was grilled with a smoky flavor and the chili sauce was delicious. They also serve cocktails. I ordered the Paloma and I can honestly say it's the best one I've had. My daughter had the margarita and hers was just as delicious.. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and helpful. Loved the decor; eclectic atmosphere. If you love hotdogs I highly recommend it. They also have a variety of tacos and nachos that I can't to try read more

Came into San Antonio for some daytime adventures and found this gem! We had no idea and can't wait to tell everyone. The service was exceptional, the food was on point.

We had the corn in a cup, chunky street dog and rancho nachos. They had me at RICO Cheese! read more

Second time at El Chunky. The first time I was where was part of a promo and the food was delicious but I came around 5pm. Today I was wanting late night eats that wasn't Whataburger! We arrived around 10:30pm. By the time I decided what to get I was about 1.5 miles away so I didn't want to go order online. They've added a nacho and a taco menu since the last time I was here and I loved the options! I ordered a corn cup and a Corndog as well as the Fajita Hotdog. I was told 10 minutes but it ended up being closer to 30!! We ordered to go. The corn cup was packaged with a sealed lid which I appreciated. The food was delicious as it was before and it kept on the 15 minute ride home. There were revolving customers which I love for this small, local business. But the 30 minute wait was ridiculous!! If not for that, it would be a5 star review. We will be back read more

Great from arrival to departure. The guys in front were attentive, took their time explaining their favorites. They also created the cutest spot next door to dine in and had a bar as well. All the food was great, a little salty for my taste but no one else mentioned anything. Elote was bomb with a spicy kick to it! read more

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! read more

Yelp Elite picked a good one! Located in the Roosevelt neighborhood, this was a treat. The store is right off of S Presa and easily located across from the dollar general and other businesses. I don't often eat hot dogs, actually rarely do I eat them but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try it out as an elite pick and this was a nice surprise. The hot dogs are fairly big in size and they didn't skimp on the fillings. For the Yelp elite, we received two hot dogs, one being the fajita and I wasn't sure if the other one was the nacho. The fajita had guacamole as an added bonus and the fajita had fried onion toppings. Both were satisfying and full of flavor. The outdoor seating has seats and an area big enough for a standing crowd. You can access it from either the inside or outside. There were no seats inside the business. The artwork on the side of the building added to the theme nicely. I didn't know about them until the selection but they are on Instagram. We were also given a Yelp bag which was a nice surprise. read more

Nice quaint little Beef hotdog place on the corner of S. Presa and Buckingham Ave on the Southside. After your visit to the Mission Concepcion or taking in games at the Complex nearby, stop in and try a different approach to the traditional hot dogs. They definitely have some flavorful choices. We tried the Chunky chillin with the 9 inch beef dog covered in chili sauce, cheese sauce and crispy onions on top. I found the sauce to have a little kick to it but the flavor was good. The fajita chunky is my favorite with fresh tasty guacamole and melted asadero cheese that had a really good flavor and some crunchy green peppers diced up, I personally would like the option to add onions. read more

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.

Decided to drive across town and give this place a try since I've always heard so much about it and it didn't disappoint. The service was pretty amazing from the moment we walked in the door. The cashier was patient and helped us navigate the menu and decide on what sounded good to my daughter and I. She close the corn dog (go figure) and she killed it. I settled on the Chunky Chillin which is essentially a chili dog with fried (or grilled) onions. We also had the loaded fries which were top notch. It's just a chill hot dog spot with popular music, great service and great food. I gotta come back to try the Porky Chunky! read more

Fantastic, almost hole in the wall, surprise of a place! Unique menu, fast service. VERY filling, flavorful, and yummy food. Limited parking to the left of the restaurant, under the mural (great backdrop for selfies!). But plenty of parking around the block, so no worries. Outdoor only seating that is limited. So this place is good for couples or small groups. Or get your food to go! I had a 30 minute drive after pickup and everything was still great. Really fun place for unique and great hotdogs and fantastic loaded fries! Only negative is limited seating. But don't let that deter you! read more

If you want some legit hot dogs in a venue that is a combo vintage with urban flair, this is the place! Outdoor dining reminds me of street fare in Mexico. The classic chunky is juicy, with some serious meat and beans in the chili. Service was a bit hectic, as they don't give you numbers and it is one person at the register. But definitely will go again read more

Stopped by after an evening out down town and it was a perfect way to end the night! This place had been on my radar for so long and I was so happy it was lit up for a late night meal. The place itself is very clean with indoor and outdoor seating and they have a wide selection to choose from. I got the porky chunky which is their 9" sausage wrapped in bacon, topped with pastor, pineapple, cilantro, onion, and and pineapple chipotle sauce. It was perfect. No notes! Incredibly flavorful! I have been dreaming about this glizzy and when I'll get to have it again ever since I ate it!!!! If you're thinking about trying out this place, wait no longer.
