Best hotdogs on the planet if u ask me!! No seating, just stand n there's always a line but it goes quick. Love the root beer too!

Glad to see they are still in business! I recently paid a visit after several years and I was quite glad that they still taste as great as I remember.

Small place but The Best hotdogs in Calexico. Every time I go back to visit it’s a must to stop and have a hotdog.

If you grew up in Calexico you had these hot dogs. Always affordable, always great service, and always delicious. Support these local food vendors as much as possible.

I have been going to this hot dog stand since I was a kid and they are still the best hot dogs I ever had and still the best. No fancy stuff just good hot dogs. I live in San Diego and drive back just for the hot dogs. My family likes them too. They have been open for more than 40 yrs and still great.

This place has been there for over 50 years, couldn't believe it was still there. Love there ORIGINAL Rootbeer.

A historic hot dog stand with hot dogs, sodas, and ice cream incomparable to any other in the valley. Simple and delicious.
