Dirt Dog - Downey

Best Dogs in town.Good food, good service, friendly staff.Sade and Vanessa were very helpful and super friendly.Definitely going back.

First things first. This is a hot dog place. The food here is good. Is it priced fairly? It definitely is on the pricey side. Can't be comparing it to a $1.50 hot dog at Costco. You come here if you want something different with options to mix up the traditional hotdog. The DUI dog which I had, was a great mix of flavors, and honestly, it felt like I was drunk eating it because it is on the messy side. I'm a huge fan of pastrami and bacon, and combining it with the hot dog and Texas toast just elevated this to another level. They were not stingy with the portions, definitely stacked it and even needed a fork to finish it.It does not come with fries or a drink, so expect to pay extra for those. The spot is chill, and even had the UFC fight on the night I was there. Service was great, and everyone was super helpful when we needed more salsa or ketchup. I'm rating this solely on how good my order was.

Sade provided us with exceptional customer service. She was really welcoming and attentive . The Music in store was amazing and the food just topped it off.

Service is typical for this type of restaurant except they actually brought our food to the table. So I'll leave a small tip for that. The guy was helpful with his recommendations.Ambiance is nothing special. Seats are are booth seats so they're comfortable. They have outdoor booth seats too but it was too hot to eat outside.Food. The elote dog was alright. I didn't think this option really played well as a hot dog. I did it to sample the elote and the hot dog itself. The lobster roll option was good. You get the traditional bread or lobster roll bread. The lobster roll bread was very soft and crispy. I'd assume the elote is good and getting the other dogs would be a better option.The asada taco was not a let down like most restaurants. It's not salty. They skimp on the onions and cilantro. The green salsa is nice. Red salsa I'd say is like a 4/10 spice.There are still street locations that serve better tacos but for street tacos in Cerritos this is better.

Took 40 minutes to receive our carnita tacos order.Speakers were blown playing in the patio which became more annoying while waiting gor our food.Restrooms were full of gang graffiti
