Most delicious corn dog I have ever consumed. Perfection. The cornbread batter was crispy and flavorful. I got the jalapeño popper combo (corn dog with a side, coleslaw). This hit all my nostalgia points, maybe not the coleslaw but corn dogs were a childhood fav.Vegan or not, you will enjoy. This was just good food. I am already planning my next visit.

I am not a vegan, but I don’t eat red meat. Every now and then I really crave a burger! Their burger was soooooo delicious and juicy and the pretzel bun was a huge plus. I also had their jalapeño corn dog and which was tasty but HUUGE so I recommend sharing! The animal style fries there were also a large portion and SOOO good I’ve been thinking about them since! Don’t sleep on this food truck, they’re amazing!!!!!!

Went here while it was parked at Seek Beer Co. The food was excellent; some of the best vegan dogs I've had (the NY-version and the Bahn Mi), and fries/tenders that satisfied my children. The service, though, was even better. Friendly guys, quick service, and delicious food!

My bf and I have loved Underdog for about a year and a half now and I don't know why I haven't written a review yet. We began dining here in November of 2022 when I was pregnant because my bf is vegan. We initially tried corn dogs and chili fries but graduated to burgers and now we are stuck on their hot dogs and chicken tenders. The danger dog is impeccable and we could eat it daily. My favorites are the chili in any capacity, danger dog, and bahn mi dog. My son loves their chili too! The husband and wife couple feel like friends and I love making small talk with them as a wait a few minutes for my order. They always give us extra sauce, make recommendations, and give insider tips like ordering through their site for pickup to save money! The El Cajon location is perfect because they park near a gas station so there's parking and we can grab drinks. I love supporting this business and will continue to do so.

Have been coming by here for almost a year now. Top notch food, always make it a point to take care of their customers with a smile on their face. If you want a hot dog anywhere in San Diego, they are the place to go to knock your socks off!

I'm always on the search for a vegan corn dog (I know it's weird but it's my thing!) and Underdog has the best one I've tried so far! The dog was very flavorful and the batter was so crunchy on the outside. My family enjoyed their dogs as well, even though they are carnivores. My daughter thought the Bahn Mi dog was great. We found them at Seek Brewery where there was an abundance of tables and some great beer and sour choices too.

I ordered on their website to pick up and it was ready right on time. The goblin club was SO GOOD!! The fries and special sauce were delicious as well! I'll definitely be back ?

Underdog, the vegan food truck, has managed to win over even a non-vegan like me, who isn't typically a fan of vegan cuisine. Despite my initial reservations, Underdog has become one of my go-to favorites, and I find myself ordering from them frequently.Their menu offers a variety of items like burgers, corn dogs, fries, and more, all with a creative twist and several flavorful options.Some of my personal favorites include the Goblin's Club and Jalapeno Popper Corn Dog. The corn dogs are notably large, with a batter that never feels oily. They are consistently tender and flavorful. The Animal Fries, a perfect side to burgers and corn dogs, are never overly salty, and the generous portions make them a standout. The fries themselves are cooked to a golden perfection. No meal from Underdog is complete without their loaded fries.Moving on to the burgers, the Classic Burger and The Jesse Burger are both substantial. The buns are consistently soft and fluffy, and the sauces and flavors are incredible. These are not your average vegan burgers.Beyond the delicious food, the Underdog team is friendly, accommodating, and overall pleasant. It's clear that they are dedicated to their advocacy of normalizing delicious plant-based food. In my opinion, they are doing an excellent job of offering delicious comfort food classics that can be responsibly enjoyed for generations. It's a business that I will continue to support.
I was expecting this place to be good based on the reviews and it was even better when I bit into my hot dog. It was so delicious. You could tell they know how to really cook. The flavors were on point and I totally pigged out. Full warning the loaded fries are sooo filling. Probably better to share those if you also get a hot dog. My eyes were bigger than my stomach.Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan and thus also vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Dairy free menu.Parking: The parking is at the gas station.

1st time here. I saw a few videos on IG and Yelp reviews about this food truck. We ordered a Korean corn dog, regular corn dog and classic hot dog. The corn dogs batter was delicious… crispy brown outside yet soft, inside with a stadium size hot dog inside. Average price. No seating, food truck only. Great service. Overall positive experience

Underdog is next level vegan junk food. I have been nothing but impressed by their food, service and vibes the multiple times I have patronized their food truck. I’m so grateful to have a vegan establishment like this to satisfy those comfort food cravings. Keep being amazing Underdog!

Love everything I've had from there.Corn dogs are 10/10, chicken tenders are *chef's kiss* and they have so much variety as well, yet to try it all. One of the best quick, easy, well priced places for vegans, but a lot of my non-vegan friends eat here as well (always a high compliment in my opinion).I have visited at the OG spot on Texas, Seek beer co. and vegan pop-ups. quality ever disappoints.Friendly people with great service, too.100% must try.Vegetarian options: 100% vegan menu.
