We absolutely love Underdog (as well as the breweries they share a space with when at Barley & Sword/Seek/Goal)! I love the concept of breweries sharing space with food trucks in general except you get the option of THREE breweries here! In term of food, we ordered the Jessie burger & Banh Mi Hot Dog. Our FAVORITE item we always seem to order is the Jessie burger. The burger is incredibly flavorful and is feel so balanced with the kimchi and jalapenos. The Banh Mi dog is a fun Vietnamese twist of the hot dog. I love the brightness of the veggies and jalapenos but to be honest I would recommend the Jessie burger more so than the Banh Mi dog! read more

Underdog has managed to win over someone like me who isn't a vegan and typically not a big fan of vegan food. Yet, it stands out as one of my favorites, and I find myself ordering from them frequently. One of the things you will notice as soon as you approach the place is how clean and net their food truck is. Their menu features burgers, corn dogs, fries, and more, all with a twist and a variety of flavorful options. Among my personal favorites are the Goblin's Club and Jalapeno Popper Corn Dog. The corn dogs are notably large, with a batter that's never oily, always maintaining a tender and flavorful quality. The Animal fries, a perfect side to burgers and corn dogs, are never overly salty, and the generous portions of golden, perfectly cooked fries are a must-try. The Classic Burger and The Jesse Burger are standout choices, boasting substantial sizes with soft and fluffy buns. The sauces and flavors elevate them above your typical burgers - vegan or not. What sets Underdog apart is not just their delicious offerings but also the friendly and accommodating team behind the scenes. They are pleasant individuals dedicated to their advocacy of normalizing delicious plant-based food. In my opinion, they are doing an excellent job of offering delicious comfort food classics that can be responsibly enjoyed for generations. This is a business that I will continue to support. read more

I've tried Underdog on two separate occasions, and their food is consistently delightful! From the excellent banh mi hot dog to their fabulous burgers, Underdog offers something that can cater to most anyone's craving. The food options are quite creative and filling which still being affordably priced. The owner is super cool, and I love that they're all vegan so you don't have to modify anything. They also offer specials which are amazing as well. Note that they have modified their location recently and are no longer strictly at the gas station. Follow them on social media to find out where they'll be. Our favorite current spot they pop up is at Seek Beer which has ample seating to enjoy Underdog's wonderful food alongside a delicious beer. read more

I've been going to run club on Monday evenings at Seek Beer co for a few months now and have seen this vegan hot dog truck, and it's always been enticing. We finally stayed after run club and ordered some dinner and it did not disappoint. I went with the NYC Hot dog and shared the side of French fries. I loved everything. It's so fun to eat the vegan versions of all these foods! I was worried about it being enough food (I did just run 3 miles after all), but it was actually just enough. read more

1st time here. I saw a few videos on IG and Yelp reviews about this food truck. We ordered a Korean corn dog, regular corn dog and classic hot dog. The corn dogs batter was delicious... crispy brown outside yet soft, inside with a stadium size hot dog inside. Average price. No seating, food truck only. Great service. Overall positive experience read more

Pretty unexpected but cool spot at the corner of El Cajon and Texas. Underdog can be found at the Peking lot of a gas station. You can't miss it since it's bright red and HS a tent on the side for customers to eat under (along with a table, but no chairs) I ordered a chili cheese hot dog and thought it was okay. The dog itself was good and I enjoyed the chili, and also loved how fresh the green onions were. I do wish the cheese was melted and that the bun was more cooked. I'm definitely open to trying another item from Underdog, though! If you're someone who enjoys their hot dog buns on the toastier side, I suggest asking them to make it extra toasted here. read more

Amazing vegan chicken sandwich., and french fries.. AND VEGAN RANCH! Honestly the best vegan ranch i've ever had. They only have a food truck but never miss! I'm sad that they'll be closed for a while, but the next time i'll see them it'll be in their own space! Will always come back. read more

Delicious! The texture of the korean corn dogs are so crispy and on point - I'd just recommend rolling the corn dogs in a little more sugar and perhaps some salt? I think maybe my general salt intake is high since I'm used to meat hot dogs - but the vegan hot dog was a bit bland for me. It'd also be super cool if they had additional powder toppings to mimic the classics like honey butter and parmesan. The chili fries were a huge portion - fried perfectly as well! read more

I did not want to leave the hotel room when I visited the area and was looking for something light, new, and not the usual fast food. I saw Underdog nearby so ordered some through Grubhub. Didn't realize they were vegan which really surprised me as I was reading the reviews. I had the classic hot dog and because it was vegan, the taste was not what I was really looking for, but hey, I did finish it so it still is really good! The winner for me were the dirty fries. The fries were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. I was surprised I finished all of it in one sitting, too! If it was closer, I'd love to explore their corn dogs and loaded fries as well. read more

100% Vegan Hot Dogs, Burger, and Chick'n Strips... how could you not love it? This food truck serves hot and fresh food that gives you the fuel to continue on with your day. So many food trucks give you this gigantic meal that ultimately bogs you down, but here you get exactly the potion that you need. I ordered the Banh Mi dog which had picked veggies and sauce on a warm, soft dog-bun. I may be biased because I love sauces and typically smother my food in a variety of sauces, so I felt it could have had a bit more on there, but overall the hodog was delicious and filling. While I'm not vegan, I'm always down to enjoy a good vegan meal and support the industry providing cruelly free food options. Hot dogs are the best sub for vegan enjoyment because the meat versions are usually drenched in toppings and don't have much of a distinguished flavor beyond salt, plus it's kind gross if you really think about it. Don't let this place being vegan scare you away from enjoying a good snack/meal! read more

The vegan hot dogs are great here. Highly recommend. I just happened by the truck and got a dog with sauerkraut.

Amazing vegan eats at an amazing value and price! The service and staff are fantastic. Their pop ups are great too. I love seeing them at Seek Brewing in North Park on Sundays. Whether you are vegan or not, the food is delicious and worth a try. read more

We were so looking forward to trying this place after reading all the amazing yelp reviews. After coming back from out of state hubby took me here as a surprise. This was a Sunday when they were parked in North Park by a few brew houses. The selection looked great and we each ordered two dogs apiece and split a bag of fries. We each got a Danger Dog and the NYC. The Danger Dog was great. Lots of flavor and the peppers were not hot. I can see why it is a guest favorite. The fries were enough for both of us and tasted great. The disappointment came with the NYC dog. It really lacked flavor considering it had sauerkraut on it and spicy brown mustard. It was the blandest sauerkraut I have ever tasted. The service was great. The staff were really friendly and helpful. 4 dogs and an order of fries came to $43.00. Slightly higher than expected. They do not sell drinks. We do not drink beer or soda and that was mainly the choice where they were parked. One of the breweries did allow us glasses of water. There was plenty of seating. We didn't have far to park and walk. I really wanted to give better than a 3 star review but I will have to come back and try some other menu items that can get my review stars higher. read more

I'm... Back again to order my favorite CornDogs & french fries, now my other new fav is the hush puppies too. I've always been a huge hush puppies fan and typically have found them at Louisiana food joints , So I am stoked they added these to their menu . I absolutely love this food truck . I am happy to announce new menu items. Several types of chicken sandwiches were added . I'll have to go for something new next visit and step out of comfort zone . It's just I literally crave their corn dogs, it's like childhood and the Fair all in one bite . These corn dogs are so filling and satisfying . They have very kind courteous service all the time. Mostly I still see the owners working hard serving up their food . This vegan food is so fabulous . I like my comfort food like most of us do but only with out the " animal Meat " at times . Vegan food has come such a long way and is so very creative here at Underdog Food Truck . I eat about 60/40 % meatless options so i'm not fully totally committed to vegan lifestyle but here I am so satisfied with the quality and portion sizes it's a top choice for me for sure, literally to often ( lol) . The food here is fresh . I'm so particular about anything fried not tasting heavy or oily ! I know they must use an oil that has gotta be fresh because all the times i've eaten here everything comes out golden fried never greasy. Today I found them parked the @ Brewery igniter building , 3052 El Cajon Blvd . I fully Support local small businesses that's where the treasures are in this town. Super cute spot with at least 3 different breweries . So convenient and lots of seating indoor/outdoor available . You can place an order either from the truck or the menu available at a brewery. side note Tuesday & Thursday they are still at the Texas St. location on El Cajon . Closes at 8 usually but I hear possible extended hours may be happening soon . I'll check back on that when or if it happens . read more

I tried a jalapeño popper corn dog and a chili cheese dog. Both were amazing but I enjoyed the chili cheese dog more. Can't wait to try more next time. They're currently operating out of a small trailer parked in a gas station lot. They don't serve drinks, but obviously you can just get one from the gas station. read more

Best vegan food truck in San Diego!! The owner of the business shared his and his wife's journey with us and their passion shows through the quality of vegan product they use. There are a ton of low quality vegan foods out there but that's not the case with underdog which is why I never turn down eating there. Food and service was amazing as always! read more

I'm always on the search for a vegan corn dog (I know it's weird but it's my thing!) and Underdog has the best one I've tried so far! The dog was very flavorful and the batter was so crunchy on the outside. My family enjoyed their dogs as well, even though they are carnivores. My daughter thought the Bahn Mi dog was great. We found them at Seek Brewery where there was an abundance of tables and some great beer and sour choices too. read more

Still totally loving this place and at this point it might be safe to say the Jesse is my favorite burger ever. Its seriously the best

Amazing! Had the chicken tenders and they are not like other vegan places - these chicken tenders are on point! Crispy and memorable (I went to Underdog 3 days ago and still remember how good they are!) read more

Yummy food and very large portions! I'm a foodie by hot damn, I over ordered. Still grateful I did so I could try a good amount of food but way to much for me to finish on my own. The staff were SUPER friendly and they had mostly ran out of chilli for the fries I ordered. They customized the order with no issues and were kind enough to throw in some chicken fingers. I'm not vegan but this food was delicious! Please check it out and support local small businesses. read more

Amazing corn dogs every time!! Even when I order for delivery they always arrive super hot with everything requested. Love this place!

Amazing Vegan , crispy fries Vegan juicy & toasted bun. The food truck peopel are friendly. I will come come back!

Their vegan corn dog and animal style fries are amazing! This is my go-to spot when I want some vegan comfort food.

Their food is such great comfort food. Wonderful Hospitality and the owners are so sweet and generous. Very easy to come right off the busy street to park and order food. If you're a vegan in San diego this is a must try! read more

Underdog is the Number 1 food truck in San Diego! When my wife first wanted to try it I was wary seeing as I had never tried vegan or vegetarian takes on classic comfort foods, my wife was (as always) right and now we have eaten through the entire menu! The owners are the nicest people you'll ever meet and they really have a passion for what they're doing! My Number 1 picks are in the burger, Hot Dog, Loaded fry and corn dog order. The Jesse has all the flavor you're looking for and really stands out! The chilli cheese dog is a tried and true American classic that they have mastered! The triple threat fries give you a little bit of everything in every bite and go great with every menu item! The Jalapeño popper corn dog will have you curious until your first bite, then you'll know you made the right choice!! Underdog is THE BEST choice you can make when out with friends! read more

Got the Classic hot dog, would love to try more of their menu next time. They gave me some local vegan/vegetarian recommendations which was really helpful. read more

Dang this place is gooood and all vegan! They have two styles of weenies, one like a classic hotdog the other has a softer maybe more sausage-y style. The chilli is amazing! This was my first experience with a Korean style Corndog and it did NOT disappoint-I would come here just for that. Crunchy, savory and a little sweet. I'm a saucey lady and they have a bunch of options! My boyfriend isn't vegan and really enjoyed everything we had as well! Try this place, you won't regret it! read more

My bf and I have loved Underdog for about a year and a half now and I don't know why I haven't written a review yet. We began dining here in November of 2022 when I was pregnant because my bf is vegan. We initially tried corn dogs and chili fries but graduated to burgers and now we are stuck on their hot dogs and chicken tenders. The danger dog is impeccable and we could eat it daily. My favorites are the chili in any capacity, danger dog, and bahn mi dog. My son loves their chili too! The husband and wife couple feel like friends and I love making small talk with them as a wait a few minutes for my order. They always give us extra sauce, make recommendations, and give insider tips like ordering through their site for pickup to save money! The El Cajon location is perfect because they park near a gas station so there's parking and we can grab drinks. I love supporting this business and will continue to do so. read more
