    House Dog
    Jon A.

    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 .

    Double Dribble
    Sharif A.

    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

    Great food. Awesome ambiance. Good service. Yummy hot dogs... I'm a vegetarian and there's a lot of choices. Yummy brioche bread.

    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.

    After a night of drinking YOU NEED A HOT DOG! A DIRT DOG! Definitely recommend, 10/10. Make sure you get the butter roll and not the regular bread. I got the classic. Delicious

    Ask the Community - Dirt Dog - Gardena

    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.

It was only 3 taco sized portions with a side of consome and a slice of lime. In regards to the flavor of the Birria Quesadilla, it was delicious, but something I wouldn't order again. Overall, my experience was a great one. I would go back again to try something new.

If you're looking for high-quality, authentic street tacos at a reasonable price, this is the spot. Why I keep coming back: * The Tacos: They come 'fully loaded' and are incredibly consistent. I'm picky about my onions, and they are always happy to accommodate requests, which I truly appreciate. * Efficiency: The staff is consistently friendly, and even when it's busy, the food comes out fast. * The Vibe: It's a truck with a casual outdoor seating area, making it easy to grab a quick, fresh bite. * The Bonus: Don't skip the small shop on the same lot they have the best treats. I highly recommend grabbing an elote or a mangonada to round out your meal. If you haven't tried them yet, add this to your rotation. It's exactly the kind of local gem that keeps the neighborhood food scene great!

In the last couple of years, the competition for street tacos has gotten fierce. Some street taco stands even make their tortillas on the spot while preparing your meal. Unfortunately, this place hasn't evolved to meet the challenges and match the competition. The food is not bad, don't get me wrong, but it's not worth going out of your way for it. There is plenty of street parking and lots of tables in an open space area. Bring sweaters and jackets if the weather calls for rain or it's cold. The seating area is under the roof but there are no walls to protect you from the wind.

I can't help but compare this spot to Wahoo's Fish Grill, which I enjoy much more overall in terms of flavor and consistency. That said, the food here was okay, just not memorable for me. I may try something different if I come back, but based on this visit, it didn't quite hit the mark.
