We've always driven past this hot dog cart in front of a tire shop while doing our street taco scrambles up and down Charleston Blvd., but we never thought of stopping by........until now. If you are familiar with the street dogs they sell in LA, (Bacon wrapped dog with sauteed onions and peppers) Fernandez Hot Dogs can be considered "LV style" street dogs.
Two ladies run this cart, but the only downer is that they do not have a set schedule. When are they open? when you see the lights on and the cart outside. It is what it is...
They have a no-frills, straightforward menu which offers the following hot dogs:
ESPECIAL DE PINA-($2.50) Bacon wrapped dog, ketchup, mustard, mayo, pineapple, and sliced avocado
ESPECIAL DE CHAMPINONES-($2.50) Same as above, but with mushrooms
PINA, CHAMPINIONES-($2.00) Same as above two, regular hot dog
SENCILLO-($1.50) Regular hot dog, pico de gallo, ketchup, mustard, and mayo
AMERICANO-($1.00) Regular hot dog on a bun
You can pay a small fee for additional toppings and they have Jarritos and other soft drinks available as well. We got the Especial de Pina and every bite was delicious! The Bun was nicely toasted, hot dog was nice and plump, smokiness from the bacon, sweetness from the pineapple, and creaminess from the avocado all worked well together.Who knows? maybe we could make a little pit-stop during our upcoming taco trek!? Stay tuned! ALOHA!!!
