    Quick service, clean presentation, and my dog was delicious! I would definitely recommend trying the Buffalo Dog.

    The one and only time I've ever had portillos was in Chicago. So I was excited to try the one in…read moreBuena Park after visiting Knotts. We are locals to LA and love a good hot dog. I got the Chicago style which comes with peppers and pickles and it was so good! Also got the chili cheese fries. And I'm so picky with chili cheese fries and these were actually really good! The woman taking orders was so friendly as well Loved that they had a drive thru as well

    I remember going to this Portillo's when they opened, maybe 2006, I think my dad wanted to come…read morehere. I don't even recall what I thought back then, but I knew I had been there. During COVID we ordered Portillo's on delivery, it was not great. I remember my Italian Beef tasting like old beef. I remember throwing it away. But, it was COVID times, we couldn't expect greatness from anything back then. 2026! The time has arrived, my husband wanted to dine in. He said "forget your COVID memories, it's gonna be great! It's gonna be way better fresh than on delivery!" It wasn't. I had the Italian Beef, added the peppers (so stupid you have to pay more for them), he got the "Jumbo" Hot Dog, which is literally the size of any normal hot dog you would get anywhere. I had the meal which came with fries and a drink, we also ordered onion rings and a Chocolate Cake Shake. Didn't take long for our food to come out. They have a huge sign that says "CONDIMENTS HERE" so we went to see what they had - ketchup. Yes, just ketchup. His hot dog was a hot dog, I didn't think it was anything special, but he liked it. The beef still tasted old to me, I guess that's just the taste of it, and i'm just not a fan. If it weren't for the flavor of the peppers, I would have hated this again. The fries and onion rings were pretty good. The shake was fine but didn't blow my mind. We got a small and ended up throwing half of it away. Doubt i'll be back, but if I am for some reason, i'll probably just get onion rings and try their chili.

    This place is always recommended to me on Yelp anytime I try to find places to eat in Little Tokyo…read moreand technically it's in the Arts District, but it's within walking distance. I've had my brother and several friends say that it's good and since we were closer to this area for a pop up event, we dropped by and I finally had a chance to try it. We visited during the final game of the World Cup, so there was no more indoor dining, but there's a couple bench tables outside at the side of the building. Part of the building shades over the seating, so even on a pretty hot day, this worked in a pinch and there was a slight breeze too, thank goodness. Staff was helpful and and answered our questions. They also brought our order out to the tables outside, which was nice. They also took our trash and tray back when we were done too. Each table has ketchup, brown and spicy mustard if need be. Inside, you order and pay at the cashier, grab a number, and they bring it to you. There's a bunch of sausage links on display, as well as the sodas and you can see some of the beer that they have too. For our Sunday lunch, we got the: 1) Sunset Zero soda: -It's an imported German soda. Love that there's a zero sugar version. It's a citrus cola with ending vanilla notes. Way better than some of the orange Pepsi/Pepsi Fire they ran in the past. Nice to try. 2) Rattlesnake & Rabbit with Jalapeno Peppers: -Unique combination of predator and prey meats all encased into one sausage. Also, not often you can get these meats as well. -Slight spicy kick to it from the jalapenos and rich, buttery texture of the meats together. -Each hot dog comes with 2 toppings and we got caramelized onions and sauerkraut with this which added a nice sour and sweet taste to it too. -I liked this the most of the 2 of them. 3) Pheasant with Herbs de Provence: -Nice savory flavor, but I was a fool and ordered this with the sweet and spicy peppers as a topping since they were different from the other toppings we got and I mostly just tasted the bitter aftertaste of the peppers that sort of overpowered the meats. My mistake if anything since the bites with just meat and mustard were delicious. 4) Groot of Belgian Fries: -Huge serving, way too much for 2 people especially with 2 hot dogs and we sadly could not finish it, but at the very least it came with 2 dipping sauces. -Before ordering this, I didn't groot referred to anything other than a Marvel character. -Fries had a rich, deeper flavor than standard fries, nice slight crispiness. We got it with curry ketchup and sundried tomato mayo. The tomato mayo was fine, definitely a lighter flavor and since the fries tasted so rich on their own, I feel like the curry ketchup was a more flavorful and better match. I love a good hot dog, so being able to try it with more exotic meats, flavors, and sauces makes it definitely worth stopping by.

    My friend and I had been wanting to try wurstkuche for a while and it didn't disappoint. Parking…read morecan be a little annoying but we were lucky enough to find street parking nearby. The space has a dark, industrial vibe, and I loved seeing the sausage display when you walk in. We shared the duck & bacon, mango jalapeño, rattlesnake & rabbit, and the Klein. The duck & bacon was easily our favorite. It was juicy and packed with flavor. The mango jalapeño had a nice balance of sweet and savory but I wish it had more heat. The rattlesnake & rabbit was interesting but could've used a little more salt. I also loved the toasted buns, sauerkraut, and caramelized onions. The fries were fluffy inside but I wish they were a little crispier. I also loved their beer selection and they let us sample a few before ordering. If you go definitely get the Kasteel Tropicale!! It was my favorite beer of the night! The service was great and the cashiers gave us awesome recommendations. Overall, I'd definitely come back. It's a fun spot to grab beers and sausages with friends!

    I had my first Dirt Dog at the Shop in Vegas. It was good, and not taking away anything from them…read morebut today in Downey it was excellent. I had the House Dog and it was like getting one off a Street Vender in LA. Major compliment by he way. I got mine on a Brioche Bun which took it to a whole new level. Best Dog I ever had. He Garlic Fries hit hard too. I should have asked about the sauce that came with it but it had the consistency of Comeback Sauce but smoother and a pleasing bite of Roasted Garlic. I would eat it on a Shoe. They Cashier who's name is Kenya was very knowledgeable and told me straight up that everything was good but if I like a good Street style Dog than the House Dog was the way to go. The Brioche Bun just took it to another level. The Cook who's name is Carlitos made another batch of those Garlic fries that I had to have. OMG. He didn't speak much English and my Spanish is limited but over this food we had a whole conversation in Engspanglish. Lol. I'm looking for him when I go back. I'm always looking to Hire people like these two. Hey both just capped oof my visit. I live in Orange County and I'm plotting a work trip to Downy very soon. I want to give a special thank you to hwm for making my usual Lunch exciting and pleasing. I would say in going I try the Elots Dog next time but what I ordered today ain't broke. Lol. I'll be back very soon. Y'allhollatchaboy!

    There aren't many places that specialize in crafting a wide variety of hot dogs near me so when I…read morecrave a glizzy, I like to order from Dirt Dog. Not only do they have many unique glizzies, but they also offer burgers. I've tried the following: - House Dog, which is their classic glizzy that comes with grilled veggies, house spread, mayo, mustard ketchup, and bacon bits. - Dirty Chili Dog, which comes with 100% premium all beef Nathan's 5/1 dog wrapped in center-cut bacon, chorizo chili, cheddar sauce, onion, cilantro, chipotle aioli, and bacon bits. - Elote Dog, which also comes with Nathan's 5/1 dog wrapped in center-cut bacon, corn, lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro, and bacon bits. -Dirty Fries, which comes with chili-lime seasoning served with spicy ketchup. - Dirty Esquite, which is their version of the traditional Mexican street corn (elote). This side dish has lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro, and bacon bits. - Single (burger), which has a single patty, American cheese, and caramelized onions on a brioche bun. I really like all of their street corn items: the Dirty Esquite and the Elote Dog. The House Dog and Dirty Chili Dog are your classic flavors, and you can't go wrong with either. Next time I want to try the LA Cheesesteak Dog and the DUI Dog, which in addition to the usual Nathan's 5/1 dog, center-cut bacon, bacon bits, it also comes with pastrami, carne asada, cheddar cheese, chipotle aioli, and cilantro.
