Dog House Drive In - Hot dog stand in Albuquerque - 1216 Central Ave NW, USA

I've lived in New Mexico for a few months in the past, and my favorite food/snack there was frito pie with green chili. This place does not disappoint. They have represented New Mexico well with their frito pie. Their red chili was great, but in combination with their green chili, it's amazing. By the way, now their indoor dining area is open. Very cute and charming. Love the place and the service. I would definitely go again if I'm in town.

This is an Albuquerque staple that has even been featured on some shows. The menu is very basic, with hotdogs, fries, and Frito pies. The food is all about the chili. Some days, the chili is spicier than other days. This was a hot chili day, but I thought it was perfect. I had a frito pie and some fries, and everything was excellent. This is a restaurant that closed its dining room during the COVID pandemic, but it has still never reopened it. They only have a few tables outside, so unless you get a table, you have to eat this messy food in your car. Because your outside, the ordering process is a little wonky. This place opens at 1030 a.m and we got there at 1038, and we got the last table.

I don't know what everyone is saying that the food is delicious. It's garbage. Ordered a foot long with onions, relish and mustard. Wanted kraut but they don't use that, whats up with that! The bun was burnt, the hot dog was skinny like a pencil, cold and tasteless. The condiments were sparse, not worth 6 bucks and change. Servers are nice. Go for pictures if you're Beaking Bad fan. Otherwise not worth it.

I have not ever really been a fan of Dog House, mostly because their chili is too hot for me. But when we went a few days ago, the attendant taking orders car side was so friendly and the food was good! It changed how I feel about their establishment. If you're on central and see the Dog House sign pull in and try the food! The fries are amazing!! 👍

On a nine day road trip, we came through Albuquerque on a Sunday, and Dog House was closed; however, we got our typical Breaking Bad photos. On our return trip, we came through and ate at the Dog House, sitting at one of the booths out front. Got in another round of photos. The parking lot was packed with cars, around which one server was bustling about as fast as she could. Service was pretty darned good for how busy they were. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but we found the hotdogs to be really bad--almost cold, thrown on a budget bun, and without much flavor. Really one of the most disappointing hotdogs I've ever tasted. Sad, because I really wanted to like this place.

When I go to the dog house we usually stay in the car and they come to us to order. The dining room is a bit small. The food is really good. It can be a bit pricey. Which is understandable. I always get a chile dog and chile cheese fries. Their corn dogs are really good too.
