Happy Dog Hotdogs — Local services in Santa Cruz

Great hot dogs and wonderful service! Wow, Daniel, the guy who owns this stand is one of the nicest food service workers I’ve encountered in years. I’m so glad I stopped by!

I’ve been several times, and it’s my new go-to! Take a look at the pictures. Also, Daniel sets up chairs (around 6) near the cart, so that his patrons can relax and enjoy their freshly-prepared dog, chips and drink. He’s made quite a few friends and regulars!

My favorite toppings: sweet relish, red onions, spicy brown mustard, celery salt and hot...
