100% sabor venezolano
Venezuelan street food in Lynnwood, WA
Perros calientes, Venezuelan burgers and two sauces that go on everything. A food cart on Highway 99, open late three nights a week.
Qué es esto
Street food the way it is sold on a corner in Venezuela
In Venezuela the hot dog cart is a late night institution. The dog is only the start. On top goes shredded cabbage and carrot, onion, corn, a green avocado sauce, a creamy garlic sauce, ketchup, mustard, parmesan and a handful of crispy potato sticks. That is a perro caliente, and that is what we make.
The burgers get the same treatment: a fried egg, cheese, both sauces and potato sticks on every one. If you grew up with this, you already know. If you did not, start with a Perro Normal and a Frescolita and you will understand in one bite.
We are a food cart at 15315 Highway 99 in Lynnwood, not a restaurant. There is no dining room. Pull in, order at the window, eat in the car or take it home.

Our sauces
Nuestras Salsas
Two sauces go on everything we make. If you want extra on the side, just ask at the window. Here is what each one is, for anyone who has not had them before.
See the full menu
Avocado sauce
Guasacaca
Guasacaca is Venezuela's avocado sauce. Avocado blended smooth with herbs, onion, a little vinegar and lime. Think of it as a looser, tangier guacamole built to be poured, not scooped.
Fresh, green and tangy. Mild, not spicy.
Garlic sauce
Salsa de Ajo
Salsa de ajo is a creamy garlic sauce. Rich, heavy on the garlic, and it goes on everything on the cart.
Creamy and garlicky. The thing you will want more of.
Both sauces come on every perro and every burger. Extra sauce on the side: ask at the window.
