    Went to Dirt Dog for the first time, and definitely enjoyed it! We got carne asada fries, carne asada tacos, and two hot dogs - the LA cheesesteak dog, and the dirty chili dog. The cheesesteak was really good. The dirty chili, we found the bacon bits too much but overall the dog was tasty. And good quality dogs. The tacos were pretty average, the fries were good and had a good amount of toppings. I like the food, but they way too salty for my taste.

    Not much to say here. $8-$10 for a hot dog feels a little steep. The dogs themselves weren't bad for a gourmet style hot dog, but nothing that really stood out. The fries were just so-so. This is probably a one-and-done for me. If you don't mind spending a little extra and enjoy trying gourmet hot dogs, it might be worth giving it a try. Service was average, and there was plenty of seating with a nice overall décor .

    Was looking forward to this place since their menu looked amazing, but food was disappointing. Ordered the Cheesesteak Dog, Double Driible, and DUI Fries. The Cheesesteak Dog was decent, steak was over cooked and dry, not enough seranos. Not sure what bread they used for my Double Dribble, but it wasn't brioche like the menu photo. Flavor was on the sweeter side, but the bread ruined it for me. DUI Fries has way too much going on, except for sauce, which was lacking. The meats were burnt to a crisp and tasted overly salty. Not sure if I'll be returning any time soon.

    I didn't know Dirt Dog had dipped cheesecake! It was $10 including tax. If you have a sweet tooth, this one's for you .. it was good but a little too sweet for me. They also have other flavors; the animal cracker one looked really good, so I'll probably try that next time. The cashier was super friendly and the place was nice and clean.

    This is my favorite spot. I got introduced to Dirt Dog from their OG location and it was quite the drive from where I live so it was an occasional indulgence, but then they came to my area and I was sooo excited. Now it's a bi-weekly pick-up! Each person I introduce to this spot falls in love with the delicious food. My go-to for pick-up are the filthy fries while my partner tries a little bit of everything. The workers are always so sweet and can prepare our food pretty quickly!

    Dirt Dog Review I've been to Dirt Dog a few times now, and it's always such a great experience! The food is consistently delicious -- I love getting the elote (corn) with no bacon and the Dirty Fries with either garlic aioli or their spicy ketchup . I sometimes go for the regular hot dog with everything on it, and it never disappoints! Customer service is always 10/10 -- everyone's super friendly and welcoming. The music they play is always upbeat and fun, it honestly makes me want to dance . The restaurant is also very clean; tables are wiped down, and the overall atmosphere feels well-kept and inviting. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're craving great food, good vibes, and awesome service! If this review was helpful, give it a like!

    This is a great spot. Really good food. Delicious big hot dogs loaded with toppings. You can have a variety of different types of dogs. The mural on the wall is an absolute masterpiece. This place is super clean and comfortable and the restrooms are kept clean as well. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    Always wanted to try it, glad I did. So many good options, I decided to give the chill dog a chance. With the garlic fries; I'm stuffed. Worth it. Also got the cheesecake cookie. Yum.

    So my sis got the D.U.I dog. She said it was ok. It needs like some pico de gallo or some type of salsa. Other than that, it was ok. Cool atmosphere. 7/10

    I was in the mood for something sweet so me and my cousin stopped by this place we saw on TikTok. We went in there for the dip cheesecakes and ended up getting some loaded hotdogs. We went on a random Sunday and it wasn't that many people in there which was a good thing the places in a strip mall and easy to find Service was amazing. Just kind of sad. They didn't have the beatbox cocktail for us to try. I got the strawberry crunch dipped cheesecake and it was Hella good very rich and fried flavor and not too sweet. The hot dog was good as well. It was loaded with stead bacon cheese and peppers.

    I can't tell from the pictures, but does the Pastrami dog have an actual hot dog inside of it or is it just pastrami meat on a bun?

    The meat for the hotdogs...are all of them pork? Or do they have Turkey and beef hot dog options?

    All their hot dogs are 100% premium all beef Nathan's dog except for the Veggie Dog, which uses Beyond Meat.

We normally call ahead to order our food, and it'll take roughly 10 - 15 minutes. Service is always solid - the workers are friendly and helpful. We normally get the carne asada/pollo fries and they're awesome. Fries are cooked perfectly (I swear there was a period of time where they coated the fries and that wasn't it, but thankfully they stopped), comes with the usual toppings like guacamole, onions, cilantro, etc. They top it with a hefty amount of juicy meat - both carne asada and pollo options are solid. Recently though I've been straying from fries and getting different dishes like the chicken flautas, enchiladas, and mulitas. Chefs kiss for each one. The rice and beans + salsa combo are also flavorful and pair nicely with the entree.

My plate was loaded, the kind of generous, no‑nonsense serving that tells you they cook with heart, not shortcuts. Every bite had that strictly authentic, home‑style flavor that reminded me of family, childhood mornings, and my grandma throwing down in the kitchen. The spot itself is super casual, eat in or take out, nothing fancy, nothing trying too hard. But honestly, the food and the service are the only "decor" this place needs. If you're craving something real, comforting, and made with love, this taqueria delivers. Miguel C.

The staff moves fast, smiles hard, and somehow remembers your order better than you do. Blink too slow and your order will pass you up. It's chaotic in the best "my family is loud but loving" way. This spot is open till 2am on Friday and Saturday. Imagine a place that says, "We're here to feed you, not impress you with mood lighting." It's bright, lively, and filled with the soundtrack of sizzling food, and orders constantly being called. The décor is simple, clean but the vibe is pure Gardena comfort, no pretension, just flavor and vibes. If you have those late night cravings for street food? Oh, it's dangerous. The kind of good where you take one bite and immediately start tearing into the rest with such joy and comfort. Every dish tastes like it was made by someone who refuses to let you leave hungry. The flavors slap, the portions are generous, and the tortillas taste like they were handcrafted by angels who specialize in carbs. Oh, how could I not talk about the drinks and desserts, this is something you need to see for yourself, words cannot describe the things they have for that sweet tooth craving. Mmmm, pure heaven!
