SON DOGOS Y TACOS ~ SAWTELLE
After years of bacon-wrapped street dog dominance, L.A. finally has a brick-and-mortar destination for Sonoran hot dogs.
Son Dogos y Tacos, which also has a food truck, is now open in a small strip mall space in Sawtelle. This adds a third Sonoran concept to the neighborhood, including Sonoritas and Adrian González’s Tres Dos Tres up the street. However, Son Dogos is one of the only dedicated Sonoran hot dog concepts we’ve seen open in L.A.
In a kitchen that features trompos of spinning al pastor and pastor negro, seven Sonoran hot dogs are built around bolillo buns cradling bacon-wrapped turkey franks topped with grilled onions, tomatoes, a house dogo sauce, and available add-ons like rib eye steak, asada, pastor, cheese, and chili, with one soy-based vegetarian dogo for the plant-based.
