    Why 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐? Then... I couldn't give them 5 just because they have all hotdogs made out of pork ( apparently ) and the only one made out of beef is in the menu "camouflaged" I believe it is the one special of the house " El Capitán " and it say is made out of pork as well but here's the catch ( it's wrong advertised on the menu) since my daughter asked the owner and he said it was not correct on the menu but they haven't change it yet ,so got a plant based hotdog and ummm not very pleasant and I don't blame El Capitán for it because most of the plant based hotdogs taste like hay broom or not tasty at all. Again it's not their fault, I want to make sure it is understood but I think I can recommend a company that makes decent ones like not so great but mostly ( so so) because I work cooking plant based food for certain kind of events and we use some plant based ones. Other than that I had the Chilli Cheese Fries and they were the 💣💥 highly recommended for those who like munching at night after the bars kick you out or after a good 420 session 👌🏾 I heard the pork hotdogs are great and I do believe the person who told me because we are "hot dogs connoisseurs" and I trust her palate it just that I have a mild skin reaction to pork depending on the amount but a reaction after all. Great atmosphere and music, they even have karaoke some nights and a small bar as well.
