    the Hot Dog King trailer
    Errol M.

    I'm just not a real big fan of hot dogs. In fact, I think the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest every Fourth of July is absolutely revolting, if not horrifically disgusting, for more reasons than the number of hot dogs stagnating in the contestant's colons. Oh, I'm not ungracious, I congratulate the winner and all the contestants, and I'm sure their parents are very proud. What I am interested in is the vegan/veggie hot dog, and not for the philosophical reasons of it being meatless, but from the marketing concept of "Do we make this thing taste like a hot dog, or can it just look like one?" I also enjoy the irony of why meatless products should even resemble or taste like meat at all, but that's a whole other debate. The point is the Hot Dog King makes an interesting vegan dog, but you won't confuse it with your typical All-American weenie. I actually thought it tasted like pizza, maybe it was the oregano; it's apparently based on mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Be that as it may, whatever taste expectations I may have had were more than compensated with my perception I was eating something at least semi-nutritious and healthy for me - I have no idea if it's true or not, but sometimes perception is reality. The Hot Dog King is a trailer which I assume does the bar circuit at night, I found it working a Saturday morning outdoor car show. Cool. There were eight kinds of dogs on the menu - the wild boar seemed interesting - the guy working it was nice enough and I assume the "King," and I was impressed with his help-yourself condiment selections along the entire side of the trailer, especially the sauerkraut and sriracha. The most expensive items were $5, and I think any of them would be good eats. For the $4 Vegan Dog, I know it's a veggie bang for the buck.

    A huge fantastic hot dog that can put your late night 6th Street hunger to bed (told a story, tucked and kissed good night). These are some tasty dogs on a hoagie style bun (or maybe that was just my Chicago-style hot dog). Basically you get a hot dog, a bun and you choose if you want onions or not. From there, you can get as much of the assortment of condiments that you want (Sauerkraut, pickles hot mustard and spicy Asian sauce for me please). The woman who served us was friendly and had a lot to talk about (if you're willing to engage in a conversation with her). But overall, a fantastic food truck establishment when your hungry from trolling through 6th Street.

    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!

    10/10 every time. No notes just everything is perfect and phenomenal. The flavors are insane.read more

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.

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!
