A Venezuelan street hot dog. A sausage in a soft bun topped with shredded cabbage and carrot, onion, corn, guasacaca, garlic sauce, ketchup, mustard, parmesan and crispy potato sticks. It is the most popular street food in Venezuela.

Question 3

What is guasacaca?

Venezuela's avocado sauce. Avocado blended smooth with herbs, onion, lime and a little vinegar. Tangy, not spicy. It goes on every hot dog and burger we make.

Is this a food truck or a restaurant?

Neither. It is a food cart. Look for the stand at 15315 Highway 99. There is no indoor seating, so most people eat in the car or take it home.

Question 5

What nights are you open?

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 7 PM to midnight. We are closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Follow us on Instagram for any changes, because weather and sell-outs can shorten a night.

Not spicy. Venezuelan street food is about sauce and crunch, not heat. Kids eat perros calientes all over Venezuela.
