I had two of their Dogs off of the truck, and WOW...the one with the ginger and wasabi, and the one with the Kimchi ... really amazing! I had no idea Dogs can be so delicious and innovative. Honestly, I would have never thought of combining the flavors, but they work so well together. Can't wait till next time. read more

Mission Dogs just popped up at our house for a pool party last weekend, and it was AMAZING! Mike was a dream to work with and the dogs were a hit at the party. If you're lucky enough to get them for your event, prepare for a delicious and perfectly crispy time. read more

I don't normally eat hot dogs but I was at a concert at Emo's and these fine gentlemen were slinging some pretty good lookin' dogs, and I was starving between bands. I settled on the Kim Dog, and while it was pricey at $7.75, the hot dog was big and it was really, really good. Definitely scratched an itch that night, and I'd recommend it if you're more dog friendly than I am. read more

Mission Dogs - a hot dog with cole slaw and ketchup - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Mission Dogs popped up at a training event I attended. Never would have thought about wrapping a hot dog in bacon but it was the bomb! Can't say enough about how friendly Mike, the owner, was. He made sure everyone was happy with his project. read more

Come through Mission Dog with consistency, service and flavor. This is my second time checking you all out at the PJ Performance and I loved that I had the experience two years ago. Thank you for your service and kindness at the concert. Taste great and it was feeling. read more

I had been wanting to hit up their brick and mortar for awhile, but they are never open when I can make it down there, so imagine my pleasant surprise when walking out of a bar on E 6th, starving and headed to another adjacent food truck that should have been open, but wasn't, I came upon the Mission Dog food truck. I had been eyeing the Dogijuku since I had spied it on their menu and at almost 1am, it was the stuff bacon-wrapped hot dog dreams are made of! The pickled ginger, teriyaki glaze, and wasabi mayo had a 3-some in my mouth and it was not only foodgasmic, but so satisfying and filling! The guy manning the stand was super nice and a Dogijuku ninja! Seriously, he had my dog ready in like 2secs flat! I would usually balk at paying $6 for a hot dog, but I think calling what happened in my mouth a hot dog is to do the flavors and quality of the ingredients an injustice. I will definitely be making a trek at some point to their brick and mortar location to relive the ecstasy in a more contained environment rather than standing on a random corner of E 6th at midnight making noises that I am sure violated some kind of city ordinance and using actual napkins instead of the back of my pants and unsuspecting drunk passersby. In any case, thank you Mission Dogs, not only for existing, but for being there in my hangry time of need! read more

Mission Dogs - Bacon-wrapped Dogijuku dog! Soooo freaking delicious! - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love this little place! We were able to eat chili and cheese hot dogs that were gluten free!! The bun was really good and did not fall apart. Chili is gluten free. I was even able to get vegan cheese on mine to make it dairy free. It was so satisfying and pricing is super great! read more

Tried the Mission Dog for the first time at a Black Fret event and it was delicious. Ingredients were fresh and price was decent for the quality of food. I am not a frequent hot dog eater but will definitely stop for a Mission Dog next time I see them. read more

I have seen this guy for years on the eastside selling hot dogs between the Brixton and the Volstead. It wasn't till one night we were hanging out with some friends and one of them mentioned hey we should grab a hot job from Mission Dog out front. She told me that they have him come out to their job and cater sometimes and they are great. So we did of course. We ordered 3 hot dogs - the Vietdog, the Dogijuku, and the Kim Dog. I tasted each of them and they were all amazing. Each hot dog is unique and like nothing you have would traditionally think of when eating hot dogs. The combinations all worked well together. Each dog is around $5 and well worth it. If you happen to be out and about on the eastside don't pass this guy up like I did so many times ... he has a good thing going here! He is the cart with the yellow umbrella. read more

This was easily one of the most interesting, delicious hot dogs I've ever had. I ate one, then immediately bought a second one. The kimchi dog was amazing but the one hot dog with nori flakes was out of this world. Holyyyyy cow. It was so bomb. I am partial to Asian fusion and this place nailed it I will be dreaming of your hotdogs for weeks. Thank you mission dog! read more

Don't get all crazy eyed on 2 people giving it 5 stars and I stroll in here with my 3 stars, people. The value is good - $5 for a good sized dog (4) star value. But the actually dog itself seems lacking in crunch and flavor. Yes... It's wrapped in BACON! But the quality of bacon and thinness makes you a little sad inside. The bun is pretty decent though, fresh. I like the creative approach obviously, with the ingredients.. But, most of the dogs on the menu (limited) have ingredients that don't seem to gel all that well together. Convenience - 5* - comes to office. Value - 4* Flavor - 3* Flavor trumps all in most cases. Go check the guy out, not overly friendly or all that personable, but nice. Grab a dog, you will be satisfied, nothing more, nothing less. Stick with the basic Mission Dog (comes with jalapeños) would be my advice. read more

Omg this was easily the best hot dog ever and the garlic fries were arguably the best fries as well!! I am officially addicted

The Vietdog is delicious! I'm not a HUGE bacon fan or a HUGE hotdog fan, but this bacon wrapped hotdog, nestled with cold, crispy slaw, Sriacha mayo and more hit the spot. The menu itself is deliciously creative, with a lot of Asian fusion and influence. The dogs can be dressed up or down how you like, and the bun isn't neglected - it is also of good quality and fresh as can be. Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations if you're feeling a little lost on the menu (like I was). They're more than happy to help...and if you take my word for it, you can't go wrong with the Vietdog. It's not too spicy, either. read more

Mission Dogs - Vietdog - delicious!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is our first time here, they just opened the restaurant front off of East Cesar Chavez and I got the Kim dog il and it was awesome! You can never go wrong with a bacon wrapped hotdog with kimchi! The bacon was nice and crispy and the kimchi added the perfect amount of spice. I like that the bun is toasted as well, adds a nice touch. Would recommend this place to everyone! read more

Ordered through Postmates and, for the most part, enjoyed the meal. The Vietdog was excellent. They delivered the slaw/relish on the side. I added about half thinking it was way too much. After a few bites I realized it would taste so much better with all of it. I really liked this one and the spicy mayo was a perfect addition. The mission dog - with the sautéed onions had a great flavor. I just wish the onions had been sautéed quite a bit more. They were still firm and crunchy to the bite. Some may prefer this; but if I am eating sautéed or grilled onions I want them fully cooked. The garlic fries were okay. I think this is a side better served if you are eating on-site. The travel just makes them lose their freshness. They sort of steam in the container. I would definitely order again if I was eating in the restaurant though. read more

Vegans rejoice! This place doesn't advertise it much but they have vegan dogs and they are delicious! This place is a little cart at the steps of the Brixton. The guy who runs it is really nice and even pretended to be entertained when I went on about how I have no idea what to put on my dog, out of lack of experience. I let him decide for me and it was a great choice. It took a minute because he cooks them to order and the vegan dogs on a separate part of the grill. I waited in the brixton with my drink and he delivered it! Pretty awesome! I'll be back for sure, it was great! read more

Wow! Just, wow! These are the best hot dogs I've had in Austin so far! These guys came to our apartment building for a Christmas event at the clubhouse. I had the Mission Dog (without jalapeños though, I'm not a fan of the spice) and it was awesome! I loved the flavor combo of the dog itself, the bacon, onions, the condiments, very, very good dog. My only complaint is their cart isn't at my apartment daily. Probably for the best though, health-wise speaking ;) read more

Mission Dogs I predict will be the Torchys of gourmet hot dogs! Try the Viet Dog paired with the garlic parmesan fries.

I tried mission dogs over the summer and found a new appreciation for hot dogs. I would usually choose a hamburger at a BBQ or pizza for drunk food over hot dogs, but... mission dogs may have changed that for me. Bacon wrapped hot dogs with unique toppings such as kimchi, nori, teriyaki, and plantain ketchup are as good as they sound! You can find them in East Austin outside the Brixton and Hotel Vegas on weekend nights. For just $5 (maybe $6) a dog, Mission Dogs are a great option for your new go-to drunk food. read more

What's better than a bacon-wrapped hot dog? One that shows up to your house. The apartment complex I live in hosted a party and had Mission Dogs cater. I had the VietDog and was blown away. Surprisingly the bacon didn't over-power the other ingredients in the dog. The pickled carrots and cucumbers cut the spice of the sriracha and spicy mayo nicely. Would definitely hunt these guys down while out and about. read more

I was out and about with locals, and, at the end of the night, they insisted on finding him before heading back home. I had the mission hot dog and was blown away! It was so good! read more

Mission Dogs - Mission hot dog - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is one of our favorite weekend spots, and it's the perfect late-night meal. Mike is awesome and very friendly, he recognizes us as regulars now and remembers our "usual" which is always a mark of good service to me. But, moreover, the hot dogs! The toppings are creative, and so artfully prepared. I've tried them all and enjoyed all of them, but the Dogijuku is hands down my favorite. My boyfriend had to twist my arm to try it the first time, but now It's my regular order--It's this perfect marriage of exotic flavors with the familiarity of comfort food. read more

This truck has been coming to my work for a while now, Im only mad at myself for not trying them sooner! so good! I had the dogijuku hotdog, tasted like a bit of heaven in my mouth! lol Great service too read more

Mission Dogs - just ate this one named " Dogijuku" . I must say Im a bit " wowed". So..friggin...GOOD. :) 5 STARS for flavor and service!;) - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

My only problem with this place is they're only available 2-3 days of the week. I hate having to wait til friday or saturday to eat my favorite hot dog in town! haha I always get a dog from them and then go to the volstead to get a beer to go with it. They're the best! read more

Took my family to Mission Dogs for lunch today absolutely love their kimchi dog and garlic fries. The lady working today was very nice my youngest daughter dropped her hot dog and she replaced it for free. Thank you so much! read more

This review is for the new brick n' mortar behind Las Cazuelas. I got the vietdog with a veggie hot dog wrapped in veggie bacon, and it was even better than I imagined. I also got cheese smothered fries, and the cheese sauce was the perfect consistency over very crispy and well seasoned fries. I just found my new favorite lunch spot! It's byob for the moment, and a great deal for a very filling serving of food. read more

Friendly staff, great hot dog. I got the Dogijuku without the pickled vegetables. I'll be back to try the Mission Dog soon.

Have not had a bad dog from this man. All are awesome. Fortunate that mission dogs parks near where I work.

Very nice people and original hot dogs. I had the Vietdog and the Kim chi dog. Both of them were delicious. I'll be back to try the other ones. read more

our apt guys had them over for a event and we got to try their vegetarian hot dog... Loved it...forgot to get the persons name at the stall... But he was so sensitive once we mentioned we eat only vegetarian...he ensured he does not touch our hot dog with any of the utensils he used for the other hot dogs.. I rarely see anyone being so thoughtful... Had to write this review for his service.. Thanks a ton.. Yes the hot dogs were amazing too!! But 5stars for the service... read more

Sooooo good. The vegan option is super tasty! The only thing is, at the cart there's not many options. Not sure if the menu is bigger at their main storefront. I'd still check it out regardless of menu size though! read more

I had my first Mission Hot Dog today. They come to my office periodically and I finally tired one. Man I have been missing out, they are delicious!!! I had the Vietdog and it was well balanced with a little kick. read more
