    The best hot dog in the entire world. I am so happy this place is still open. I've been coming to santa fe and eating here for uncountable years. Legendary hot dog stand. I'm craving one right now.

    There are hot dog places and there are institutions. Chicago Dog falls into the latter category. While their big, meaty hot dogs are top dog in Santa Fe, even with the onslaught of burger joints in the area, their green chile breakfast burritos are the best breakfast item to be had in Santa Fe. They also do a wicked Frito pie, another local fave. Although you should be warned: Green chile are highly addictive and you will be back. In fact it is their New Mexican red and green chile recipes that go toe-to-toe with mama's best, and are worthy fare for local or tourist alike. New Mexico red may be a more acquired taste for the East Coast curious. Try the green if you spend most of your days East of the Pecos.

    No bull... just quality dogs. Sitting outside in the beautiful southwest with some dogs on a new mexican bent. The "sporting" peppers remind me of those kids in school that were pretty good kids, but then they started hanging out with the Mexicans and all of a sudden your sweet little pickled peppers got naughty! The Frito pie is the best I've ever had... get the Christmas 'cause their red chile is the best, but you know you always need to try the green. This place will not disappoint.

    Born and raised in New Mexico and never have eaten here until today. Had the Chicago Dog and the Coney Island Dog. They were the well balanced in taste and flavors. It's a must to check out whether you are a local or a tourist.

    I was thoroughly glad to see this little shack across from my hotel and had to stop over. The staff, 3 women probably in the 20s, was super friendly. The have beef dogs, polish dogs, Frito pie, but also turkey dogs. I was recommended Chicago dog, which I took. It had diced tomatoes and a pickle speed, but also diced pickles too, it was good, on a sunny afternoon. They have breakfast too, I may try before I leave town.

    I grew up in Chicago and got my hot dogs from a street vendor. This is what I got on my bun besides the frank: yellow mustard, green relish (from a jar) and finely chopped onions. Your franks are good but Chicago? Don't think so.

    I'm from Chicago. This place is true to form (with a few substitutions). #1 we don't put cucumber on our hot dogs (get it without). # 2 everything should be on a poppy seed bun - yes, even the jumbos and the polish. Make those changes and you have yourself a great Chicago dog. Vienna beef is the way to go.

    Having grown up here in Santa Fe and also having spent at least part of every summer of my life in or passing through Chicago, I'd like to consider myself a bit of an expert on both this institution and Chicago dogs in general. While I can't say that this place is definitively authentic, I can say that they can sure make a hell of a hot dog. Sure, it's missing a few of the details of a real Chi town dog, but for a little stand in Santa Fe, you can't do much better. Also, green chile. These dogs aren't street-cart cheap, but they won't break the bank for what you get.

    A little shack that sells hot dogs that are just incredible.. Basically they consist of a enormous spicy salad with a hot dog hidden somewhere underneath. Get with The Works.. There are a few outdoor tables with umbrellas, I assume most of their business is takeout.. The girls who work here are indeed quite charming and friendly. Not too far from the plaza, you could walk here from there if weather is OK.. One of the most distinctive places to eat in Santa Fe of any sort..

    Only one warning: if you eat a hot dog here, you will never be able to enjoy a hot dog from anywhere else on the planet again. Because you will now know that there is a whole 'nuther level and that nobody else in the world can get there. I've tried all over DC, Chicago (ironically), Austin, Albuquerque, Pittsburgh, New York City, Buffalo, Seattle and alas... This is the only damn hot dog worth eating. Try all their toppings it doesn't matter, it's all good.

    Wow, open over ten years (longer?) and this is the 10th review? What's wrong with you people?? I am never at greater risk for inheriting the smorgasboard of obesity- and heart-related diseases which generously pepper both sides of my family than when I am grovelling, pocket change and`last crumpled bills to my name in-hand, at the humble wooden feet of the Chicago Dog Express stand. This is not so much a true outpost of the Chicago Dog as it is known and loved in its motherland as an EFFING DELICIOUS rendition by New Mexicans. The day that Vienna Beef met New Mexican chile should be a new sabbath. Go hungry, get a farking huge one (jumbo, fully loaded) and take what you can't eat home. You will eat it later, and you will love it just the same. side note: -Not- for the faint of colon, but you probably knew that already.

    Oh my HOT DOG!!! I've loved this place since I was younger and first discovered what a Chicago dog really is. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick, delicious dog! Mmmmm...mouth watering yummy goodness!

    Great dogs! Quick, super friendly service. Have been told the Frito Pie is excellent, will have to try it next time...

    I loves me a hot dog, and this outdoor seasonal hot dog stand would rival any other dog stand from NYC to Chicago... Or at least I hope it does, having never been to either other location. You can order polish sausage dogs and regular hot dogs and if the whim hits, you can even add a smattering of the local green chili favorite topping. I've never had a bad hot dog at this place, and I eat there all the time because it's like a block from my stately mansion.

    I realized something was missing in my life and it was Chicago Dog. I errantly moved to Albuquerque without thinking things through and 3 1/2 years later, I suddenly remembered my true love was in a shack on the corner of Paseo and Something blvd. So, I drove straight there and I ate one the other day - and it transformed me back into who I really am: a fucking hot dog lover who lost his way. I love how normal old celery salt turns cucumbers into magic here. It must be the location because this happens nowhere else in the world, it's impossible. It's a scientific fact. It has also been proven by scientists that their Frito pie is unmatched. They even have Orange Crush - which is the only soft drink beverage I will cave in for - and which happens to go perfectly with Chicago Dogs and Frito pies and hangovers of every variety. To think it took me until 2 years before I moved away to discover it... The only thing that would make it better would be naked rollerskating waitresses. But wouldn't that make any place better?

    On our trip here, we passed this everyday, so we had to stop. I am a sucker for a good hot dog. Had the Chicago Dog, and it was quite yummy. Lots of toppings, maybe a bit too much cucumber. I've never been to Chicago, but the only Chicago Dog that I've had better than this one was in Miami at the Dogma.

    I love the Polish half loaded with everything on it and spicy mustard. I get it with a diet root beer and a delicious brownie. It's my ritual to try and do this when the Yankees have a home day game and I'm at work listening to it on XM or my Droid. It's almost like being at the Stadium in person! Three more days until the first Polish dog of the season! Woo hoo!

    This stand puts Portillos in Chicago to shame.

    I moved from NM to California years ago, and this is one of those joints I have to go to when I'm home for the holidays. SO GOOD! The amount of veggies they put on their dogs is insane. I normally get a regular Chicago Dog half loaded, but on those days I'm super hungry I'll ask for a fully loaded dog...or a jumbo dog. Mmm, mmm, good. I still can't find hot dogs as good as Chicago Dog in NorCal, so I guess I'll have to deal with the cravings until next time. :) Oh, the girls who work here are also super friendly! I don't think I've ever encountered rudeness or incompetence at CD. Good job! For first timers, there are a few tables set up outside with umbrellas if you want to eat there during the warmer months. Also, there is one downfall: the parking situation is kind of a bummer, so you might want to drop by before or after the busy lunch hour. I'm telling you though, the food is well worth the hassle of finding a parking spot!

    Faultless dogs, served with fresh-cut veggies and - on request - a spork! Get the Santa Fe dog, with green.

    not only is this place great and an excellent choice for any occasion, but the dogs come in half and fully loaded editions. imagine taking your girlfriend out to lunch and pulling up to a hotdog cart in the middle of a busy intersection and ordering a "jumbo fully-loaded chicago dog". see what happens if you try to kiss her ater destroying the dog. it isn't expensive, it's fast, and it is really a chicago style hot dog.
