    Chicago dog and frito pie (no cheese)
    Angela W.

    My husband loves Chicago hotdogs and was so excited this stand was directly across our hotel. We literally walked across and got 2 Chicago dogs and 1 frito pie. He said the hot dogs were legit. I expected a frito bag with chili poured into it and a fork. But it was in a container. I also got "Christmas" chili which is red and green peppers. I had them hold the cheese but added onions. It was steamy and delicious which hit the spot because it was pretty chilly in Santa Fe at high noon if you weren't in the sun. We talked to some ladies next to us who were locals and they said they always go there for their hot dogs. We also had lime soda which had a Route 66 label. Pretty cool.

    Hot Diggity Dog! We found this hotdog stand in the heart of Santa Fe while trying to find a frito pie and was NOT disappointed. Great service and great dogs!

    I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, and you'd think it would be easy to find a hot dog there. Big city, right? Should be a simple request. So, the first time I visited Santa Fe, about 15 years ago, I was happy to stop by the Chicago Dog Express while waiting for my hotel room to be ready. Now, as a resident of Santa Fe, I am still happy to be able to go to this cute little place and sit outdoors and enjoy one of life's simple pleasures -- a hot dog! The Chicago Dog is my fave, and the name of this place shows that is definitely their focus. Everything about it is perfect -- the combination of peppers, pickle and mustard. It's the perfect dog, and 1/2 loaded does the trick, although you can get a fully loaded version which is twice the amount of toppings. This place is a sit outside or take with you, and it's a great lunch location right downtown Santa Fe. So the next tiime you are in Santa Fe and looking for a hot dog, or just a quick lunch with lots of yummy goodness, stop by here! I used to joke that I had to get out of DFW to find a good hot dog, so I would drive almost 10 hours for the pleasure. Now I don't have to do that, but if you are from Fort Worth, and you like hot dogs, you'll understand my review.

    Excellent Food every time... This spot is a must for those visiting Santa Fe. Typically very busy at lunch but worth the wait.

    Great little food truck!…read more Simple menu, great food. Owners/staff are super friendly. Prices are very reasonable to for the quality of the food; they have accoutrements at the front of the truck so you can fill up on salsas/onion/jalapenos to top your tacos and plates. There's a couple of parking spots right next to the truck and plenty of street parking, and a couple of tables if you want to eat there.

They have breakfast and lunch, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and dogs/sausage. Recommend going the taco route so you can try their incredible meats and fixings. My top favorite was their picadillo and pork Adobada. Do not miss their pico, cilantro/cabbage, pickled onions, and green/red salsas. Also grilled jalapeños were a nice touch but WARNING they are spicy. All drenched with a generously large cup of horchata, you'll be in heaven. They have outdoor picnic tables to dine there, limited parking next to their food truck. Pro tip: order ahead bc everything is made to order and they can get busy!! These are some of the best tacos I've ever had, top remarks and recommendations. Each item is thoughtfully made and the service couldn't be better and more friendly.

Very interactive, friendly, jovial, very interactive and going above and beyond to make us feel at home and answer any questions that we might have about their menu. As outstanding as the service was when we placed our order at the counter. The food itself blew everything out of the water. My cheeseburger on a sesame seed bun with green chilies, grilled onions, pepper, jack cheese, and all the accompaniments was probably one of the best burgers I've had in a very, very long time. Outstanding. My dining companion had her burger with green chilies and grilled onions and pepper jack cheese, and all the compliments served on a sopapilla bun. She said it was not good, it was marvelous, stupendous outstanding. The sweet potato fries were outstanding... Crispy, tasty and the serving was huge We were the only patrons in the restaurant at the time, but it had a friendly vibe to it and dislike a down home friendly Mom and Pop restaurant. I have tried to make as many notes as I can to make sure next time my man, Santa Fe that I grab a real burger. This place was off the chart good. I wish I could give it more than five stars, but that's my limit.

    I suggest calling in your order. Makes waiting in line a thing of the past…read more Burgers were made to order and tasted delicious
