Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Value: 8/10 I have an interesting relationship with hot dog vendor carts. I live between both stadiums in SF, and I have a corner unit where many of the vendors park and prep their carts right outside my place. Every time I see them, I want to go downstairs and grab one but I don't because hot dogs usually give me heartburn. I probably eat one every few years, if that. But on this particular day, I somehow ended up having two in one night. I started the day partying at SVN, and before heading into Midway, I decided I needed to get a hot dog in my stomach to sober up. Then after a full night at Midway, I got another one on my way home to help reset. I've never had two hot dogs in a single day before, but they hit the spot both times and guess what? No heartburn ftw! Each hot dog was $10, which felt fair considering how big and filling they are. It's not some tiny snack - they're fully loaded, grilled to perfection, and just the thing you want when you're out late and need something savory and satisfying. I'm always grateful these vendors are out here, especially after they kept me from getting too buzzed. Highly recommend trying one at least once. read more

We ordered the hot dog, but unfortunately, the flavor was lacking. The service was decent, and the ambience was nicely decorated, though a bit loud. read more

I stand corrected. My younger self was an idiot. I understand now. There could never be a finer food than a late night Sonoran dog.

I'm a giggly drunk. But I also realized that I get more ghetto as the alcohol-filled night goes on. Words like foo, what's crackin, yo, hyphy, shizzle does not belong in a classy girl's everyday vocabulary. But then again, I don't get tipsy every single day. The only thing that would shut me up and bring me back to my original self is a dose of greasy goodness. With ketchup, mayo, mustard and grilled onions topping it off. It's also on the Big Eat SF list: #92 Bacon wrapped hotdog from a cart in the Mission (preferably when you're drunk) 5 freakin stars HELLA GOOD FOO! BTW, posing with the hotdog man with a cheesy ass smile and a corny peace sign is NOT ghetto. It's ghetto fabulous. read more

Bacon Dog Cart - Gone in 60 seconds - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

There are a few around but this cart is the best of them IMO. It always has people hovering around. One can easily and quickly pre-coat their stomach before going to Mission dive bars! Of course, post-drinking is where it's at - though it's also good for sober eating. I had it two nights in a row once, yep. This cart is parked right in front of a US Bank. Two guys usually man the cart, operating out of a van. Can't really miss the van, but the aroma will also lead you to it. read more

NOTE: I ate this famous hot dog in a sober state. Noticing this cart at the top of Best of Yelp for a few weeks (spring 2007), I collected the clues from all the reviews so that one day, I could track it down. One night, coming back from our friend's place around 1 AM, we decided to drive around SOMA looking for this guy. WHAT IS THIS THING? A street vender selling bacon wrapped hot dogs on a cart in the middle of the night. WHERE? I found him at the Corner of Folsom and 6th at 1 AM. However, based on other reviews, he could be anywhere near a club. HOW MANY CARTS? Unknown. Comparing the picture I took with the one posted by Eric W., there seems to be more than one cart. The two pictures show that the cart and the guy are clearly different, yet they must coordinate their business, seeing that they use the same brand of aluminum foil, cook the bacon hot dog in the same way, and have the exactly same condiments (grilled onions, mayo, pepper, ketchup, and mustard). I wanted to ask him more questions, but his English was poor and my Spanish is worse. PRICE: $3 per dog. ANY GOOD? Well, rationally speaking, NO, it is cheap standard hot dog with bacon. Only unique part is the wrapped bacon, but it was high fat bacon that only increased fat content. Buns are standard cheap kind you buy at Safeway. No gourmet stuff here. BEST IN THE CITY? Again, NO. During normal business hours, you could get far better hot dogs at various places around the city. SO WHY A GOOD RATING? This is what is so COOL about Yelp. Zagat would never give a Hot Dog Cart a high rating. Look, where else would you go at 2 AM for some hot dogs? Seven-Eleven? The cart guy is providing the right product at the right time at the right place; therefore providing a FIVE STAR service. I have no idea if he has proper vender license or if he reports his revenue, but he is obviously a hard working guy who I want to support. read more

Now who doesn't love the Bacon Wrapped hot dog guy? One memorable moment I can remember was one night, after the club we went searching for him @ 2am hahah we were starving and wanted to sober up. Great way huh? We never found him, but I do recall seeing the cart a couple of times in different areas in SF. Just the scent suckers you in and you can't say no! I know a couple of people have experienced this scenario: drunk or hungry right after the bars/clubs and your tummy is rumbling, and you happen to see the hot dog guy out front, what do you do??? Stand in line and get some!!!!!!!! LOL Last weekend my gf hired one of the Bacon dog carts for her wedding after wards, so people can sober up! Everyone was so happy!! ain't life great? LOL read more

I F-ING LA LA LA LA LOOOOOVE THESE HOT DOGSSSSS!!!!!! This cart knows exactly where to find me at 2am when the bar closes by 16th & Valencia. Always soo good, I'll be the first in line for these babies. The line gets long at night with crazy, hungry, drunkies ready for their next fix. The bacon wrapped around the doggie is already good, but topped with sauteed onions you can't go wrong!!! I top it off with some jalapeno's, mustard, and ketchup and I'm in heaven.

I was hooked every since having oops but it only takes one baD experience. I threw up shortly after indulging the dog and I now have food poisoning. It really is a hit or a miss. You'll either enjoy your dog or sit on the toilet for a couple of days with explosive diarrhea. read more

Pros: Delicious after a night of drinking!! Different condiments to add, as well as a whole jalapeño! Kudos to the hotdog man standing even on the cold nights of San Francisco!! Cons: Cash only (price $4 each), might be different vendors so you'll have to find him/them! Found him on the corner of 22nd and Mission street! read more

Bacon Dog Cart - Hotdog man!! - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Francisco, California

BEST.DRUNK.FOOD.EVER. Until you've tried a Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog while INEBRIATED/SMASHED/DRUNK/FADED, you cannot call yourself a true San Franciscan (I've had more than I would care to admit). For once, 7x7 is RIGHT; it is one of the 100 Things to Try Before You Die. The Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dog is essential for capping off your night of drunken debauchery as a piece of rubber is to cover up your tool. Not that I would know about the latter though. With various locations (see below), you can smell the deliciously intoxicating fumes from all parts of San Francisco. Thick cuts of smoked swine tightly wrapped nice lengthy packages sizzling away on the griddle. The bacon is grilled to a nice crispness around the edges. The onions are then grilled in the bacon drippings to a silky caramelized state. Piping hot, the Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog is placed in a toasted bun and then topped with the grilled onions, mayo, ketchup, mustard and jalapenos (get EVERYTHING on it). This warm hand-held package has one of the most EXPLOSIVE flavors your mouth will have ever tasted: beefy, salty, smokey, creamy, tangy, sweet and spicy. Each bite will leave you salivating for more... And just HOW good is it? On numerous occasions, I've witnessed size 00 beezies polishing off 2-3 of these babies at a time. I gain a pound just by eye-raping the Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs. WTF! OTHER NOTES: *$4 each *Cash only *Normally closes around 2:30 AMish after feeding a wave of drunktards who just stumbled out of the bar/club *Cart sightings/locations: --Outside Bruno's (The Mission) --Near Skylark (The Mission) --Outside Bubble Lounge (FiDi) --Corner of Infusion Lounge towards Powell (Union Square) --Outside Temple, sometimes inside near the smoking area (SoMa) --Outside Leisure/Cat Club (SoMa) --Outside John Colins (SoMa) --Outside Blue Light (Marina) --Outside Vertigo (Nob Hill/Civic Center) --Perpendicular to The Lookout (Castro) read more

There's a few things you can truly depend on in life... 1. TV commercials. 2. Not being able to secure a reservation at State Bird Provisions unless you check & book between 3:00 & 4:00 AM. 3. Hitting even more traffic than usual when you're running late. 4. Taxes. 5. And needing a bacon wrapped hot dog after you've had a big night of drinking in the mission. Late night at 16th & mission is all about revelry & debauchery. Think Sex And The City, except tatted, pierced, & in SF's hipster neighborhood. And what do you suppose the food of choice, the fuel for all this fire is? It's the bacon dog. The fantastic aroma of hot dogs & bacon on the grill is totally intoxicating, even when you're totally intoxicated already. You're positively salivating while you're waiting to order. Step out of Dalva, Delirium, or Monk's Kettle, & the glorious bacon dog cart is waiting for you. I've seen the sidewalk 3 deep & this cart utterly surrounded...it's a sight to behold. 2 AM in this area is a network television docudrama waiting to happen. They're piping hot, juicy, delicious, & cheap. It's a bacon wrapped hot dog for chrisakes. Covered in onions, relish, mustard, & catsup? Sinfully good. The cart is also outside AT&T Park (across the street in front of MoMo's or further down passed Pedro's) on game days & nights. Perfect. And you just know the Giants love these dogs. A staple for SF late night eats. 5 stars. read more

Ever been gay clubbing and all of a sudden you get a hankering for some tube steaks in your mouth? This one late-night vendor got the formula right: grill up some meat on a portable grill.... let the smell waft towards the drunk club-goers who are itching to put something meaty and salty in their mouths....in the very literal sense--- Twice I've encountered this magnificent phenomena: the first, while clubbing at Badlands in the Castro... and the second, while clubbing at Dragon at Eight... I lurrrve this hot dog stand. The vendor is cool too, while his wife/mistress/girlfriend/pimp supervises behind him, as she sits in their van. The vendor's cart does not lie.... the hot dogs are "Delicious All Meat"... and it gets better..... they are wrapped in scrumptious, crispy BACON.... but wait... it gets better.... they are topped with grilled onions... WAIT... it GETS BETTER... a skinny stream of MAYONNAISE and ketchup are squirted on top. (DROOOoOOOOoooOL) oooh I encountered the BDC for a third time: last night, on a post-GH2-induced hunger bacon-wrapped hotdog orgy on 16th Street (about 15 feet from the Roxie Cinema)..... Since they are 9-to-10-inches-long hotdogs, they are longer than the bun.... you get more meat for your money. Just the perfect meal to soak up all the alcohol you've ingested for the evening. read more

Bacon makes everything better! I'm more of a burger girl than hot dogs, but these hot dogs with the crispy bacon wrapped around them and topped with grilled onions and a little ketchup totally hit the spot after drinking at Bruno's! Thank you bacon dog carts for being at multiple locations in the Mission at night because who's gonna really remember at what corner you're at after a few drinks? This actually was my first ever food cart experience & it was a good one, maybe the alcohol helped, but who's to judge? While there's a plethora of well noted taquerias that are open late, the bacon hot dog cart is always a nice option for a quick, cheap, snack. read more

Operated out of a van in front of a bank. Located on Mission between 23RD & 24TH. Also another cart down the block between 22ND & 23RD. This was our 3RD food stop on a night of unplanned gluttony. When I saw the cook spread the hot dog bun, rubbed and grilled it in bacon fat, Oh i think my heart skipped a beat. Just $3 each. Grilled hot dog wrapped in bacon, accompanied with sweet grilled onions & peppers, and your choice of jalapeño, mustard, ketchup, and mayo. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/89lcibUju_4PqUrZ10w71w?select=YQQ4hxZZ232x_Up8DJIuxg Pure genius!

Just like a rainbow, you don't really go looking for the magical Bacon Dog Cart guy. Stars align, and it just happens. THAT'S!.... what makes the bacon dog cart guy so magical. That indescribable feeling when you've been bar hoppin', laughin' it up with friends and then step out onto the throw-up filled street at 2am. You're buzzed, quasi-hungry and once you get that irresistible whiff of bacon, onion, and hot dog freshly grilling oh my - it's mothereffin ON. My momma always told me that the best way of keeping stuff down was putting more stuff on top of it. So if you think you're about to throw up - throw a bacon dog on it. Yes, bacon dogs have been known to cure hangovers. Me and the boys felt like teenage pimply faced girls going to a Nsync double headlined Backstreet boys concert the way we were giddy and jumping for joy first time meeting the BDC! The effect wears off awhile but your first time is always magical. I know mine was. read more

Beginning of the night: Let us proceed to Luna Park for a classy meal, complete with 9 course prix fixe, and no less than 2 bottles of imported wine preferably from France and South Africa.

We were driving back from the (awesome) Bill Maher show in Santa Rosa... and with all the boy's talk of pot-bellied pigs as a potential pet and his incessant ranting and raving about how cute/smart/fun they were, I was lured to the Bacon Dog Cart. The thought of eating pork wrapped in pork brought an irresistible craving. (Don't judge...) We drove around searching for the cart for about 10 minutes before finally spotting it in that one corner of Mission and 23rd street, right by the home of the heart-attack-inducing Tortas Cubanas. When we finally spotted it, my heart skipped a beat. (If you have trouble finding the cart, forget the fact that he's right on Mission St between 23rd & 24th next to "That's It" - just look for the bright white light emanating from the cart that gets more brilliant the longer you stare.) Being the ladylike person that I am, I took exactly 2 seconds longer than the boy to scarf down my bacon dog. And then, seconds. That's how good it was. I asked my husband afterwards whether or not he was ready to stop eating pork at the cost of keeping a pig as a pet. His response was, "No! But I'll tell Corky pig stories before bed, walk him around the neighborhood, and teach him tricks." "What tricks?" I replied. "Sit, stay, roll over, and play bacon. They're really smart. You should watch that video on YouTube." Nice. read more

How can something so wrong, be oh so right? The smell of bacon wrapped goodness wafted through the air, making its way into Dalva, dragging a large group of us out to see where it was coming from. BACON DOG CART!!!! "Do these guys know who we are?" I asked the group surrounding me. "Do they know what we have done for them? Seriously? Do they know who we are?" Then I did what i had never done before, the jew bought a bought a dog from the cart, and literally inhaled it in 2 seconds flat. This experience alone justifies my 5 star review, and I'm pleased to be able to help the most popular restaurant on Yelp. Oh, glorious bacon wrapped weiner....till we meet again. read more

Anyone that's done some solid boozing in the Mission has probably ran across a couple of these carts. They might be a little tough to spot from the road, but if you're walking down the street they are impossible to miss. You can smell the carts half a block away, as they are busy grilling up onions to be used as fixings for your bacon dog. They also had a jar of mild jalapenos on hand if you liked a bit of extra flavor on your dog. The dogs set us back 3 bucks each and I much prefer them to the tamales that Tamale Lady was selling. Sometimes you just crave something fatty and greasy after a lot of drinks. My only regret was that although the bacon dog hit me like a brick, I wasn't quite satisfied. I'm pretty sure it was too small for my ravenous appetite that late at night. Unfortunately we still do not have Roberto's in SF or the North bay, so my ideal drunk food (Carne Asada chips and guacamole) will have to wait. read more

Ever since that food festival a few months ago, I could not get enough of the bacon-wrapped hot dogs. SOOOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS! Especially when you drown your bacon dog in ketchup, mustard, and jalapenos! I can always feel the delicious pig entrails going straight to my thighs.. Mmmmm.... read more

THE SMELL OF THE MISSION.. onions, hotdogs, and bacon. (4.5 stars) IS THERE A HOT-DOG GOD? Because i'd like to praise him and give thanks. You aint lived life to the fullest until you had one of these. Illegal or legal, I dont care!!! You can find these street food hustlers out after 9PM. Great drunk food, won't get you sober, but its the cherry on top of a good night. Get them while they last. While all these 5 star ratings are out, i give them a 4.5... because the best bacon wrapped hotdog I ever had is in Seattle, they put creamcheese. SInce I don't live there anymore I can settle for these. I don't ever eat hotdogs but my friends and i rang in 2012 in the mission. I had a little too much to drink and was craving for MEAT (FYI, i dont eat meat). Determine to eat one before I go home. I WAS ON A MISSION, IN THE MISSION, TO GET A BACON WRAPPED HOTDOG. game over. HEFFER-STYLE STATUS. HOTDOG ($4) - in intoxicated language "hog dodg". the grill the bun it the hotdogs grease, they make sure the bacon is cooked and charred with the perfect crisp, throw some grilled onions, and add the condiments.... IT SURE BEATS THE MEXICAN RESTAURANTS. Will I be back? always tempting but must refuse meat. JABA APPROVED. Until the next review... read more

"A heart attack in heaven." Also known as a Mexican hot dog (yea, yea, non-pc), it's a bacon-wrapped hot dog, covered with grilled onions, smothered with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, and topped off with jalepenos. See uploaded pics! The carts are located all around the Mission area -- I remember there being ones outside of Icon Lounge and near Elbo Room. $3-$4 a hot dog, depending on how drunk the vendor thinks you are. Careful though! I've seen drunk people scarf down 3 hot dogs each ... definitely the perfect drunk food, but NOT pretty if they've had too much to drink and are bending over a bush later! read more

My friend and I were walking down a few blocks scarfing down hot dogs from another cart when a Mexican hot dog cart caught our eyes. We gave each other a look and we knew we both wanted get some. Can you blame us? Not only were we starving (one hot dog simply isn't enough) but these were Mexican bacon wrapped hot dogs. Hardly something to turn away from. Set up is simple. A cart grilling onions and hot dogs. You are asked if you want everything on it (grilled onions, jalapeños, mustard, mayo, ketchup). We said yes to everything but the jalapeños because we ran out of water. Bacon wrapped hot dogs! Come on. Sooo good dude. Always hits the spot late at night. read more

Ahh the bacon dog carts, my saviors. It's 2 in the morning. You need something hot and greasy NOW. You stumble out of the bar, and there they are. Its like you're in heaven. The smell makes you drool as you make your way over to indulge in the deliciousness of a hot dog wrapped in bacon with onions and jalapenos. Its the perfect end to a night of dive bar hopping. They can be tricky to find sometimes. These carts appear as fast as they disappear. I have narrowed it down to a couple places you are guaranteed to run into them. 16th Street somewhere between Mission and Valencia, and 23rd & Mission are two of their usual spots. On weekends they can also be found sometimes at 19th & Mission. And for you locals during weeknights they sometimes hide out at 22nd and Capp. read more

7x7's 100 things to eat & drink before you die. [2012]. #91 There were multiple carts around the city. The sizzling sound and the smell.. I knew before I left San Francisco-- I needed to have one. I used to love hot dogs growing up. That and lasagna. Now, not every one of these carts are the same.. I passed some that offered more for their patrons than others but for the most part, you'll see bacon wrapped hot dogs, onions, peppers, and large squeeze bottles of ketchup, mustard, and mayo.. The cost also varied from cart to cart.. But, if you're gonna do it.. Do it with everything on it. Best when drunk. If you take it apart.. The bun could be better, the bacon could be crispier.. etc. It is what it is. I once saw a person sitting on the sidewalk cutting onions on a baking tray between his legs next to one of these carts. My friend, Jesus, was walking with me and turned away and said, 'I don't wanna see that'.. He's particular about food prep. LOL. read more

I heard about these guys in SF but could never catch them. Then we had a party bus for my b-day and someone made my wish come true because as we were walking back to the party bus guess who was setting up in front of one of the clubs (sorry I can't remember which club or street or anything cuz I was drank!!!) but the bacon wrapped hot dog vendors were there!!!! So the our whole crew grabbed one or two and we mobbed the bus stop and just chilled there for awhile. We were in heaven!!! Just chillaxin' with our bacon-wrappd hot dog goodnesses and still being a lil tipsy and chopping it up talking about the good ol' times with some bums at the bus stop... man- BEST NIGHT EVER!!! We even had some to take back on the party bus (the hot dogs- not the bums) !!! If I recall they had like a cookie sheet on a bunsen burner and they just throw down the dogs and onions and buns on that thing! All the condiments and peppers and stuff make this thing even more interesting. Man they were soooo good. So dangerously good. So unecessarily good. They're as clean as any NY or Asian street vendor and I think they under $5/each- totally worth it! Some ppl say you can't have these sober- it's only a drunk feenin' thing- but I disagree. You can have a heart attack-inducing, artery-clogging good time anytime you want!!! These guys are still hard to find but now I make them myself for superbowl, x-mas or anytime someone mentions it. Like tonight- I'm gonna make a couple of these tonight... read more

Bacon Dog Cart - the best meat on the street in SF!!! - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Francisco, California

After years and years of avoiding these carts, I finally broke down and tried their bacon dog after a night of drinking at Bruno's. They were camped out right in front, floating the smell of bacon into the air...how could I not with those post-drinking munchies to satisfy? Although I didn't get the raging stomach aches I feared as I sobered up, they shorted me my bacon! How do you short a grown man the BACON on his BACON hot dog?! Minus one star! In any case, the hot dog still slayed those late night food cravings, despite the absence of tasty bacon goodness. I still don't know if I would ever get one of these sober (who really wants to spend the night vomiting alcohol AND hot dog chunks?), but I might be singing a different tune with some liquid courage in me. read more

I love the hot dog cart!!! It usually sits on 19th and Mission, and is the mecca for drunks, midnight snackers and people who generally want to have cardiac arrest at the tender age of 25. Yum.... You can choose what to put on top, but I highly suggest just going with everything! Caramelized onions, Jalapeno's, Mustard, Ketchup and Mayo. Together it creates a wondrous food. The Onions add a sweet texture to it and the jalapeno's add a much needed kick to it. Somehow, the last time I ate it, I ended up with just a tiny bit of a crispier bacon in my last bite...and it was a perfect ending to a food-gasm. Total cost for this treat is a mere $3. read more

I give them 3.5 stars. They popped my cherry! My 1st bacon wrapped hot dog ever! and I wasn't even drunk while eating it. It was $3 and it was good. But you know what, I love hot dogs, any kind of weiner, well almost any kind so bad for you but so good! how can you make it worse? Add bacon, mayo, and fry it on a sheet pan in the middle of Mission, wah la! heart attack on a bun! I didn't get sick, it looked clean, and they were not hiding behind a truck or car while serving it to me so all is good! This cart was at the corner of 19th and Mission and has a huge HOT DOGS sign. read more
