Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"How can a good grilled hot dog get any better, put chili on it. The two guys make Merida’s best hot dogs with the works including grilled onions on top. Long line so be prepared to wait awhile."
"Estábamos de luna de miel mi esposa y yo, salimos a buscar de cenar y nos dio mucha curiosidad probar los sandwiches. Creo la espera fue un poco larga pero valió mucho la pena; la verdad no sé que aderezo secreto tengan pero están muy ricos. A mi esposa y a mi nos gustaron mucho"
"Don’t pass it by! Always delicious. Can’t beat the price. Usually there pretty late. If we go by we always stop. We’ve even gotten the last hotdogs available and they were still delicious. Good after bar stop if you need one!"
"35 años de asistir a este modesto puesto de hotdogs atendido por su anfitrion el amigo poot. Que por cierto el no es poot, el dueño se llama poot. Les recomiendo los platillos, doraditos con matequilla. Dado el proceso manual de preperacion los dias con alta demanda los tiempos de entrega son un poco largos. Vale la pena."
"Quien conozca los hot dogs de la congregación en Querétaro, es su versión yucateca 10000/10"
"Los mejores hotdogs callejeros de Mérida. Punto. Si eres de los que le ponen toppings (doritos, queso cheddar , crema de ajo, ranch u otras aberraciones), este no es tu lugar. Largo!!! Una estrella extra por los famosos "Platillos"."
"Los mejores hot dogs y platillo volador son de este puesto en el corazón de paseo de Montejo, cuestan $25 c/u y son super sencillos, el puesto también ofrece refrescos y cierra a las 12 AM max. El señor es muy amable y super rápido, por eso siempre regreso cada vez que puedo."
"Ya no alcanzamos a probar los perros pero los platillos (sandwich de jamón con cebolla, mantequilla, mayonesa , habanero, catsup) están ricos"
