    Taco Dog has been around for a very long time and is a local favorite for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner on the east side! As the name suggests, you can find both tacos (and other mexican options) as well as hot dogs with a variety of toppings. ​The line does tend to get long due to the popularity of this spot, so I'd advise getting there early for lunch. Hop right in line and order your meal at the buffet-style counter, where you can see your grilled meat and fresh topping choices! Tip: they have cilantro in the fridge, you just have to ask for it ;) They'll give you a cup to make your own drink, and word on the street is that they have one of those fancy new touch screen soda machines since I've visited!! Of the many, many times I've been to Taco Dog, this was the first time that I'd gotten hot dogs, and I was impressed! They always grill them, never steam. On the left is the "The Grill", which I'd equate to cheesesteak toppings on a hot dog: grilled peppers and onions, mustard, and melted cheese. And then of course I had to try the "Taco Dog", which comes topped with mustard, slaw, chipotle sauce, and hot pepper relish. Personally, I favored "The Grill", but both dogs were grilled to perfection and served with fresh, hot fries. My husband also favors their corn dog! Most of the time, I head to Taco Dog for a mexican option like a burrito, tacos, or like this day, nachos. Clearly they do not skimp on the toppings! With any of the mexican dishes, you get the choice of rice and/or beans, plus their meat options are steak, chicken or ground beef. Finish it off with a wide array of other topping choices like lettuce, cheese, fresh salsa, olives, guacamole, sour cream, etc. Dishes aside from nachos are served with chips on the side. Add some queso!! There are a few tables outside which fill up quickly on nice days! This is a great family-friendly restaurant that isn't going anywhere, so try it out today!! ​And if you want more Spartanburg Restaurant Reviews, look no further: www.hubcitybites.com

    Great local spot for a quesadilla, taco, burrito or even a hot dog. Always go with the chicken nachos or fiesta bowl

    A very unique place. As a fan of Nathan's hit dogs, that's what I usually get. However, their burritos and quesadillas are fabulous.

    Stopped in for a business lunch. It was around 2pm so the place was empty and very quiet…read more What a really neat spot. My first time. A shame to hear they are not renewing their lease and will be closing. The owner told me they are opening a different style place downtown and may re-open a place like the current joint in the east side but it will be a while. Really unfortunate as the burgers here are top shelf. I had to try both a dog and a burger - both Carolina style. Their chili is amazing so it really set both the dog and burger off. I added grilled onions to the burger and they were cooked perfectly. The fries are fresh cut and flavorful but they are cut very small. One recommendation to the owner, go to a more substantial fry. I highly highly recommend this place. Get in here before they close!!

    Go now while you can! They're closing their location down sometime this summer (from what I heard)…read more All the food they serve is picture perfect. It all looks really good and is a great size serving. But personally, I feel like the burgers and sandwiches are lacking seasoning. Don't get me wrong, you definitely taste the beefy-ness of the patty's and the meats, but I find myself having to add mayonnaise, ketchup, and salt and pepper on the patties and fries. I've been here 4 times, the 1st and 2nd times were not like that, but my 3rd and 4th were. Service was good, order at the counter then take a seat where you'd like and they'll bring it out. Self-serve on drinks. Small cozy and tight dining space, but it works! I will miss this place. 8/10

    Just before 5pm on a Thursday, I found myself mired in witty banter with the unrelentingly patient…read moreand good humored Carley. The jukebox was spitting the type of music I enjoy playing. I was eating a standard all the way dog. My buddy started asking about whether NW offers live music. We were informed that an open jam commences every Thursday at 9. "9:00pm? Must not be bluegrass. . . That's fine, I'm in." I thought to myself. Dropped Jared off. Got out of work attire, grabbed a couple guitars, and went back to Sparkle City to see about this jam. It wasn't quite what I would call a jam, but lemme tell you. There's this four piece band who plays a bitchin set to get everybody in the mood, then, something that seems like the bastard child of open mic and karaoke ensues. Musicians are encouraged to come lay something down. They can play solo, or they can be accompanied by a band who can quickly learn the song. What an opportunity, do John on the drums, Shawn on the slide with an SG, Drew (?) with a hollow body Telecaster and (sorry I forgot the name, but) Santa Ray Cyrus on the more than 4 strings bass, offer to amateur musicians! You can lead a band for a few songs! This is the kind of bar where all walks of life commune. The staff is prompt and polite. The drinks are affordable. Douchebaggery seems to be minimal. Oh yeah, if the hot dog orders aren't too backed up, Josh (the executive chef) sits in on the drums. He can flat out play! Thanks for the gracious hospitality, band members and bar staff. I'll be back as time allows. Great job!
