I've only experienced the original cheffinis once at about 1 am with a good buzz going. So you can imagine it was the most delicious hot dog ever. It might have been the alcohol, it might not have been I can't say for sure. BUT I do crave it so maybe there was something there.
When Ty told me there was one going up in the container park I told him it was a must! Plus little man loves the playground there so he never days no. We went on a Saturday which is normally busy but we think the gloomy weather may have had something to do with it because the amount of people were manageable.
As you walk by the giant praying mantis into the park, cheffinis is located past the coffee shop on the left side where the old pork and beans was. If you've ever been in it before you know how absurdly small it is. They replaced the long middle table for three tall tables on one side and a short table that stretches the length of the window. The menu is available above the order counter. The selections varied slightly and came with preselected toppings. There was an option to get a naked dog and add two toppings of your choice plus sauces for the price of $4.99. For me that's normally what I would go for, but the El Mexicano stood out to me. That will run you $6.99 not including drink or side.
El Mexicano - this was a bacon wrapped all beef dog (you have the option of beef, turkey or vegan) with a cherry pepper relish, green sauce, garlic aioli, Chipotle guava, onions, tomatoes, avocado and a cilantro garnish.
Lots of flavor and lots of spice! The hot dog was super juicy and had that snappy crunch when you bit into it. And all the toppings kept my taste buds going! Delicious!! We didn't try any sides and thankfully because the one hot dog was plenty. I was stuffed to the rafters. I was a bit disappointed in the iced tea we had. It tasted sour like tea does when it's old :/. But overall a great experience and I will come back when we are in the container park.
