French cheese burger combo.
Brian B.

Border Dogs & Michelaguas is a restaurant serving excellent Mexican-styled hot dogs and hamburgers located in the west end of the Camarillo Premium Outlets mall next to Loru's Cafe and near Forever 21. My favorites are the Guac Dog and French Burger, although I've liked every other burger and hot dog I've had there. I usually order the burgers and hot dogs as a combo, which includes fries and a soft drink. The aqua fresca and michelaguas are excellent although a bit on the pricey side. The staff is also very helpful and friendly. And there is plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating too. So, if you're in the mood for a tasty hot dog or hamburger I recommend Border Dogs & Michelaguas.

ESQUICHEETOS

Me, my wife and our dogs stopped by for a bite to after shopping at the Camarillo Shopping outlets. We ordered the Street dog, Asada fries, Taquitos and an asada burrito. So full we had to take home leftovers. Their food was so good!! Drinks too, I got the horchata and my wife got the mango drink. So good and very filling good portion. We ate outside in the pet friendly eating section in front. Very good experience. Will definitely come back again.

PUPPY FRIES

After checking the reviews on Yelp, I was a little hesitant to try this place. I'm glad I went ahead and placed an order tho! I got the Border Dog & Puppy Fries (a cut up frank & fries)! The border dog reminded me of the LA vendor hot dogs after a concert, and the puppy fries gave me Mexico nostalgia as my little hometown out there serves this during our fiestas! Both meals were super tasty! They had great flavor and the grilled jalapeño was spicccyyyyy. ‍ I will be ordering again for sure. Goes to show you can't listen to all reviews!

After shopping at the Camarillo Outlets on a Monday afternoon, I was craving a burger. Border Dogs popped up when I searched for "Burgers" so I thought, oh that's new & decided to try it. Border Dogs is located next door to Loru's Cafe & a couple doors away from Columbia at the Camarillo Premium Outlet. It took over the previous Pink's Hotdog place. I asked how long they have been open & the young man at the counter replied, 'about 5 months'. The quick service restaurant offers Michelaguas (Nonalcoholic Agua Frescas), Burgers & Hot Dogs. While browsing the menu, the concept kind of reminded me of the Hot Dogs that you would get after a night of partying in LA... Man, I sure remember those! Lols... Now I know where to go if I have a hot dog craving. There was a table out on the patio, tables inside, & booths to sit at. Spacious inside with Halloween Decor. You order at the counter, pay & seat yourself. The Michelaguas looked inviting & had a display of souvenir cups that resembled a small bottle. There were 4 different flavors of Michelaguas, but I didn't see the names for them. I'll have try try those next time I'm in the area since it did look refreshing. I did not have a hot dog here, but my +1 did. He got the Chili Cheese Dog & Fries. He said it was ok. It was a basic chili cheese dog with a hot dog bun, hot dog, chili & cheese. $9 seemed a bit much for what it was. But we wanted to give them a try. I ordered the Paradise Burger, because the young man taking my order mentioned that was one of the popular burgers. It's a simple burger with a bun, ham, beef patty, grilled pineapple, lettuce, onion, tomatoes, mayonnaise & cheddar cheese. I was hangry so I almost devoured the whole thing. Of course I shared. I appreciate it came with a grilled jalapeño on the side. Was in the mood for corn so I got the Esquicheetos, which is Esquites w/ Hot Cheetos. I ate that up! It was pretty quiet around 530pm. Around 6pm was when a family & others arrived... Service was fine. When our order was ready they brought it to us at our table. Not much interaction when arriving & when leaving. FYI's: - Clean & Casual Atmosphere - Extra fee for Credit Card transactions... Cash is handy! - Sodas come in cans - Condiments found in front of kitchen window

Pretty cool new spot at the Outlets in Camarillo for when your craving classic Mexican/American comfort food like hotdogs, hamburgers, and fries but with a twist as they have michelaguas, elote cups, and more! Located in the old Pinks building, I am happy they kept the theme of a hotdog forward restaurant as it's really slim picking in these parts for classic hotdog type Americana cuisine. The Spanish/Latin/Mexican inspired flare is appreciated as you can get a little bit of everything here. The layout is literally the same as the restaurant before it. You order at the counter and then grab a seat. Your food is called out through a window in the back for pickup. Staff here were super friendly and patient with new customers learning the menu. Staff answered our questions and didn't make us feel rushed. Everyone was very nice and approachable. Our order was cooked fresh and came our reasonably fast. Service here was a definite 5 stars! Food overall a solid 4/5. At the end of the day it's burgers and hotdogs. Nothing that will wow you but perfectly good classic bites. I ordered a plain bacon wrapped hotdog with Mayo (LA style) and it was tasty. Good hotdog and the bun was fresh. My friends also ordered hotdogs and loaded fries and everyone was happy. For the drink I ordered the Watermelon Agua and it was a 10/10. Visually it was appealing and Instagram worthy, but also just really refreshing and tasty. I'd come back alone for a drink Togo. No alcohol mind you, just classic Agua frescas type drinks. Pricing was a little steep and that was my biggest complaint. The watermelon large Agua was $10+. Was it delicious with the tajin and chamoy rim? Yes! But any drink without alcohol running me $10+ is a bit too much for me. I don't see it sustainable for the average outlet goer as it's a little pricy. Also the ambiance isn't formal with wait staff and such so I take that into account when I'm spending $25+ on a basic meal. At least I can say everything we tried here was food and service being awesome was an extra bonus. I hope word about this place spreads (that's why I'm here) as I do worry they aren't getting the foot traffic for a new dining spot in the 805. They are a new business so I'll give them that but more marketing and word of mouth needs to happen. We came on a Friday night and it was dead. We were the only ones in there and it wasn't until we were leaving close to 8pm that two couples came in. I really like the idea of this spot so I want to see it succeed. Definitely give this spot a try for yourself as the food and drinks hit!

HORRIBLE! Husband and I stopped by while shopping at Camarillo Outlets, and I regret it! We got the 2 border dogs, fries, esquichetos, and a drink, and for the customer service, quality, and taste, it was not worth $50! The hot dog tasted so cheap and low-grade! Tasted like the Bar S hotdogs, and the fries were bland and flavorless. The esquichetos/corn was the only thing okay. The guy at the register seemed as if he didn't want to be at work. It makes sense now why there were no other customers inside.

This is in the outlets, it's a cool spot for sure and good LA style hot dogs but it did take a long time for our order, the restaurant is hot inside so it was a little uncomfortable and it is pretty pricey almost like an actual sit down place for two people for a hot and drinks and a side of the fries we paid almost $40 for some reason when I think hot dogs I think economical, and these were expensive but def worth a try and the food is yummy

First time here since it was Pink's Hot Dogs. Service: quick and efficient. Our order taker was working her first day and she did well since she was still learning the menu and we had a few questions about the food and combos. Venue: clean and comfortable. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is easy to find and this was on a Saturday afternoon. Music is played in the background. Menu is easy to read. All tables weee cleaned promptly and labeled with a sign indicating it was cleaned and sanitized. Food: it's a limited menu and not your normal hot dog place. The food is prepared fresh and came out warm. The toppings on our hot dogs weee fresh, but the pineapple dog had a soggy bun. The kid's chicken strips, fries, and churro were all fried well, not overdone. I preferred the hot dog selection back when this was Pink's. The soft drinks all come from a can, so this is a big step down from the previous soda machine that Pink's offered. Overall, this is a good place for a quick meal. Food is cooked fresh and there is hardly a wait since it's new. We will come back and try their burgers and nachos.

After walking around the outlets we found this new hot dog spot. We tried the border dog that was bacon wrapped and had grilled onions and red & green bell peppers. The food was pretty tasty and the fries came out nice and hot. We paired our meal with a watermelon agua Fresca and it was refreshing. The restaurant was very clean and the girl taking orders did very well at greeting guests and brining people their food to their tables.

This is what it looks like recommend

I figured we would get something that I could tolerate and it would be okay - generic dining. I did not expect to actually have something to write about. But I was wrong. The grilled chicken they serve with the Chaufa is very nicely seasoned. It is bits of breast meat, grilled with a little char and adds depth to the otherwise mild flavor of the rice dish. My husband had Chaufa with shrimp, which I didn't sample but he ate the entire meal without complaint. We ordered the pork belly bites to start. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I enjoyed this appetizer so much that I know I will order it again. If I have the chaufa again, I would definitely have it with the pork belly. I ordered the lemonade and was puckering in a good way. Honestly, it tasted more like limeade than lemon. I was happy it wasn't too sweet because I could really enjoy the refreshing citrus flavors. I would go there just for a lemonade. They serve it icy cold in mug style, mason jar glass. Our friend ordered the iced tea and when it arrived. I was pleasantly surprised by the look of the fresh fruit in the clear glass, frosted over from the cold and ice. So nice. He said the herbs and fruit were a good combination. The wife of the owner waited on us. She is understated, friendly and efficient. We didn't have much of a wait as it looked as though we might have just missed the breakfast/brunch rush. I was impressed with how quickly we received our food. If we hadn't just eaten there a couple days ago, I would have gone to Azafran for dinner tonight. I look forward to making it a favorite local place where I can introduce our visitors to a good neighborhood restaurant.

We ordered an iced tea ($4.00), TO Honey I'm Blonde ($7.75), Stone Buenaveza ($8.25), Limoncello Mascarpone Cake ($7.50), and the "special cheesecake" ($9.50). With $2.68 in tax, the total was $39.68 before tip. Despite the word "tavern" in the name, this place is family friendly. During our visit, there were two large group gatherings (with kids) happening at the same time. The interior is spacious but can get noisy due to the hard surfaces. However, when the weather cooperates, there are outdoor patios available in both the front and back. Although the color palette of the interior décor is dark, the space feels clean and comfortable. There's a variety of seating options--booths, tables, high-tops, and communal tables. I'm sure the pastries on the menu came from a third-party vendor, but they were really good. (Edit to follow.) * The business owner informs me that the pastries are actually made in house! They are very good--so save room for dessert. * Our server Julie was a great hostess.

So this time I ordered a sandwich and I was not disappointed as this one was a decent size. It was really tasty, but I wish they also added a pickle on the side of the sandwiches too. Their salads are also really good along with the bread that comes with it. The ambiance was nice and the planes are not very loud, but there is a lot of people. Overall, this is a nice place for lunch or special events like birthdays for a decent price.
