I really like sausages & hot dogs (go ahead and judge), and the thought of a vegan hot dog was something akin to hearing someone say "I'm from the government and I'm here to help". Needless to say, skepticism ruled the day. Then our CM Matt posted some very intriguing pics (oh the Power of Yelp) - I was tempted! Finding myself in 5 Points, after hours, and a little hungryish, I came across the HD Party Cart. The smiles & smells that surrounded the cart drew me closer - the description of El Guapo sold me! Topped with chili, vegan cheese and Fritos - each bite was delicious and satisfying. I missed the snap of a traditional dog, but the flavors more than made up for it! They're usually in front of Root Down on weekend nights - just look for the crowds :) read more

Hot Dog Party - Hot Dog Party with a couple hot dogs! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I gotta say, Hot Dog Party boasts the finest vegan hot dog I've ever had. Now, it might be the only vegan hot dog I've consumed in my short 26 years, BUT, I truly love these dogs! That's right, these hot dogs are 100% vegan. Which means vegan cheese, vegan chili, etc. In my unprofessional opinion, nothing can triumph over pig. I'm a pork-butt eating fool. However, I don't believe Hot Dog Party is comparing themselves to a classic frankfurter. They're rocking their own unique style, and I applaud them for it! El Guapo - Chili, vegan cheddar, relish, fritos - aka delicious! I normally top it off with some type of mustard and it just works. I downed two of these bad boys last weekend and it cured my unadulterated hanger. Where to find this hot dog cart? Stalk their Instagram page. I couldn't even find them on Facebook. They normally camp out in Five Points on the weekends. These dogs are perfect for those late nights. Hot Diggity! read more

Yall Listen..i have heard all the raves, I even had a bite of Johns weiner..but nothing really prepared me for my first actual visit. I had strolled out of Sun Ray Cinema and spotted them..verified how long they would be around and went about my drinking business. Fast forward a couple hours and I was ready to go all in on a dawg to take in the uber. I went with the El Guapo..its packed with toppings to include fritos! I added some mustard, and it was so amazing. My favorite bearded fellow went with a basic chili chese variety and I didnt mention to him before he ate that they were vegan. The texture of the actual dog is a little different from your typical all meat variety but not anything you would really notice that much. The flavors of all the vegan items came together in a delicious way. Keep your eyes peeled for this food truck in 5 points and you will not be disappointed! read more

I'm on the lookout for this hot dog cart whenever I'm at 5 Points! The El Guapo has stole my tastebud's heart! It's so good and it's vegan! Loaded with a solid good tasting vegan dog and slathered with vegan chili and cheese with a Frito Corn Chips on top , I know it sounds like a mess but it's darn delicious! I have to admit this was my first vegan hot dog. The people working the cart was friendly and quick while preparing the hotdogs. You can also get a bag of potato chips and soda with it. They have other options for hot dogs available for purchase. Give Hot Dog Party a chance ! read more

I DON'T do vegan but I do when it comes to this truck! Very light and very tasty. We found this little gem outside of the Sunray Cinema in 5 Points. At the recommendation of Matthew ( whom we ran into) I got the chili dog topped with Fritos... Yo it was awesome. Whenever we go to Root Down on a Saturday night I pray that this truck is there to help soak up the alcohol and because it's a tasty and light meal to have late at night. read more

Had fast service and a very clear menu. Definitely exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to have it again!!

Amazing! Found him at the Riverside Arts Market for lunch. Really friendly guy and happy to inform us of where he gets his product. I'm a person that doesn't really like hotdogs, but I look for this cart all the time now. I never find him at the market anymore, but definitely worth the visit if you come across at night near Five Points. read more

Super yummy vegan hotdogs. This vegan hot dog cart is a dream come true. I just wish there were available 7 days a week, 24/7. For $5, the El Guapo is guaranteed to satisfy the most picky taste buds! If you want a loaded hot dog, get the showboat. For $1 more you can have all the toppings your mouth can handle read more

Where is my king during this quarantine????? This hot dog cart is changing the world. TELL ME who notices they aren't consuming animal products when they're hammered?? The answer is no one and they never have. I think about hot dog party, reference them at every game, and give them as much money as I can collectively get in my group every single night I go out in this city. read more

Great vegan dogs, great service! Dropped by here on a Friday night, they were set up outside of the theater in Five Points. I got the El Guapo, which is essentially a Frito Pie on a hot dog, and it was great! It looked like they had some other great options too. Looking forward to returning! read more

Can this place please just open up a little restaurant and serve the El Guapo 24/7? There are fritos on it. It is so, so delicious. Follow them on instagram. They usually post their whereabouts. read more

They set up in different locations, but mostly near Sunday movie theater. Their food is 100% vegan and everything looks extremely clean and tidy. Better then any other hot dog cart I have ever seen. They have a great drink selection, my favorite being Mexican coke. I suggest El Guapo !! It has Fritos chips on top of it!!! read more

Quite literally one of the best hotdog stands/food trucks, or just food in general, I have ever had. 100% vegan. I am not kidding when I say I have a feeling of euphoria after eating a hotdog from Hotdog Party. The house pickled jalapeños along with the house made wax peppers with Carolina barbecue sauce is my go to. However, The El Guapo is a must for first timers. House made chili, which I can eat a whole bowl of by itself, the delicious creamy, you won't believe it's not made from dairy, vegan cheese, topped off with Fritos will have you questioning your whole outlook on the vegan diet and your tastebuds will thank you. Always friendly service topped off with some nice sky, punk, or reggae playing at the stand. This hotdog stand is a true DIY business with people who really care about their product. Vegan or not it is worth it taste. read more
