Pacific Coast Hot Dogs — Restaurant in Orange

Boyfriend has been trying to find the best hotdogs in OC, so he's been talking about going here ever since he found it. We were in the area for an event and on the way home, we stopped here for lunch.

We ordered a few things: 2 BBQ Bacon, 1 Tijuana, 1 corn dog, 1 chili cheese fries and bottle of water. The corn dog was a last minute - I see it, I want it. Crispy batter, but nothing mind-blowing. It's just a taste of childhood for me. BF raved about the fries crispy level and how it complemented the generous portion of chili and cheese. They don't skimp!

BBQ Bacon was our favorite. Topped with bacon, sautéed onions, fried jalapeños, barbecue sauce and a pickle spear, it was a nice balance of sweet, salty, smoky and spicy (the jalapeños packed heat!) The topping were overflowing and with each bite, you had to figure out how to keep yourself clean.

The Tijuana was very similar with bacon, mustard, sautéed onions, chopped tomatoes and fried jalapeños. There was a lot more onions on this one. BF had this and said the mustard adds a nice dimension but he preferred the bbq bacon.

Overall, food was quite good. It was a hot sunny day, so shaded seating is limited to about four tables and maybe 6-8 bar counter seating. If you need condiments like mustard or fries, you can ask for a squeeze bottle.

The thing that left the biggest impression on me though was a very strong scent of cleaners. It was pleasant at first, but a light breeze would pass over me and along with that was a wave of nausea. It was so unpleasant I tried moving to a different table and I couldn't escape it. I ate quickly so that we could leave faster. If we come back, I think we would take it home or...

The hot dogs with a snap are back. I've been coming here for years when I was living in Orange. I always come back here for a visit. My go to are the chili cheese fries and chili cheese dog. I saw some new items on the menu I definitely will try them next time.

I recently visited and ordered the chili dog and the chili cheese fries. The chili dog was delicious! The hot dog had a nice snap and the chili was flavorful and tasted great with the mustard and onions. The chili cheese fries were also very good. The fries were crispy and the chili was gooey and delicious.

I would definitely recommend Pacific Coast Hot Dogs to anyone looking for a great hot dog in Orange County. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly.

Here are some additional details about my experience:

The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. There is no indoor seating, but there is plenty of outdoor seating in a small, shaded patio. The service was friendly and efficient. My order was ready in a few minutes. The prices are very reasonable. My chili dog and chili cheese fries cost about $10 ish total.

Overall, I had a great experience at Pacific Coast Hot Dogs. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the service was friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great hot dog in Orange County.

Here are some tips for your visit:

Try the chili dog! It's a classic for a reason. Get the chili cheese fries if you're looking for something a little more substantial. Come during the week if you want to avoid the crowds. Be prepared to wait in line, especially on weekends or during...

This hot dog stand is one of those spots where you always pass by when you are in the area and if you are not a local like me, just always curious and never visit! Well it’s been at least 2-3 years and on Wednesday was the day! I had a meeting in the area and needed to grab a bite to eat before my meeting. Should I go to Carls or Pacific Coast?

PCHot Dogs definitely brings you back the 90s and simply love the nostalgia feeling. This spot has 8 different hot dog styles, classic fries with chili or cheese or both. So many different milk shakes and honestly felt guilty not taking my kids to enjoy a Thrifty Ice Cream. I am that type that orders a bunch of stuff and takes it home for the kids and hubby to enjoy. I got their chili cheese dog, bbq bacon dog and Tijuana dog. To me, bbq bacon dog was the ugliest looking hot dog but omg, it tasted sooooo good. Topped with a pickle spear was perfection. Instantly fell in love. The other dogs were delicious but that bbq bacon dog simply put me under a spell. Love how their hot dogs have a snap. The owner gave me a crispy taco to try and honestly that took me by surprise. It was a crunchy simple taco that hit the spot!

Keep this hot dog stand alive everyone. It needs to stay here forever or least until I die. So...
