I loved the hot dog, my wife loved the sausage. The selection of gourmet condiments and fresh toppings was amazing. We were treated so kindly and we really appreciate that. We will definitely stop back in when we are here again.

That’s right, 5 stars-and a half moon for these amazing hotdogs! Daniel does it right, from 10am-2pm, weekdays - just down the street from Costco. Parking lot of 324 River Street?
I’ve been several times, and it’s my new go-to! Take a look at the pictures. Also, Daniel sets up chairs (around 6) near the cart, so that his patrons can relax and enjoy their freshly-prepared dog, chips and drink. He’s made quite a few friends and regulars!
My favorite toppings: sweet relish, red onions, spicy brown mustard, celery salt and hot peppers 🌶️…

Danny is the best and so are his dogs & brats! One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He treats his customers well, and even sometimes hooks up a hungry homeless person passing by. Been eating there since 2019. You won't find a better hot dog in Santa Cruz.

Great hot dogs and wonderful service! Wow, Daniel, the guy who owns this stand is one of the nicest food service workers I’ve encountered in years. I’m so glad I stopped by! I went to brag about this spot online and everyone already knew about him, guess I’m late to the party! Seriously, Daniel if you’re reading this THANK YOU! For keeping the hope. I have some serious social anxiety at new places and coming to your stand I felt completely welcomed and our conversation so genuine. Hard to come by these days so thank you for making my first time experience here one I have to talk about to others. You’re an awesome person!! And your hot dogs are AMAZING! especially the polish that was delish
Also his hot dog stand is full of condiments and over a dozen different mustards to choose from that you get to doctor up yourself. Loved that. Can’t wait to return!

Although I heard that his hot dogs were exceptional from a woman who was estimating my car damage, I didn't get a chance to try his hot dogs. I did want to attest to the owners character. I saw a woman eat a cement curb while riding her bike. This guy helped her up, gave her some water and offered her a free hot dog. I can't wait to go back to try one because this is the type of small business in Santa Cruz I'd Love to support!
This guy has 40 solid 5 star reviews. He has 4 four star reviews... ALL of them saying he has the best hot dogs in Santa Cruz!! Why!!????

Got the corralitos sausage garlic brat and it was excellent! Amazing snap with a rich peppery taste. The owner was super friendly and helpful in recommending the sausage and the toppings. Huge selection of toppings, hot sauces, and mustards. Atmosphere is subjective but I love street foods and hot dog carts so it’s perfect.

The world needs more places like this. Great spot to grab a classic dog or sausage with all the fixings. Awesome atmosphere and every person waiting was talking, amazing concept. I had the cheesy Bavarian with kraut, soooo good! Can't recommend enough
