If there’s one thing gay men love, it’s a good Mexican sausage—and Salchidogo delivers. Created by Puerto Vallarta locals and gay friends Brian Scott Carey and Phillip Weir, along with their talented ally, Chef Juanse, this new spot is a playful twist on the classic hot dog spot. And let me tell you: if I ever had to recommend another man’s hot dog, these are the ones.
We’re talking thick, juicy, meaty dogs that leave you craving more. Local and gourmet, these dogs don’t disappoint. There’s a variety of three main “dogo” styles to sink your teeth into. First up is the SalchiFurter, a classic take on the Frankfurter that’s savory and satisfying. Then there’s the SalchiMexi, bringing bold Mexican beef flavors to the table. And finally, there’s the SalchiPorky pork loin dog, so tender and juicy you’ll be licking your lips after the first bite.
Now, let’s talk buns—because buns matter. These buns are as soft and enticing as the finest backsides in Puerto Vallarta. A golden, toasted perfection that hugs the hot dog like it’s meant to be there. One bite and you’ll be hooked, mouth stretched wide to savor every bite of this dog.
But a good dog is only as good as its toppings, and Salchidogo knows this. Their sauces are a flavor-packed masterpiece. Take the mole barbecue—rich, smoky, with a hint of that traditional Mexican chocolate touch. Or the jalapeño ranch, creamy with just enough kick to make you tingle. And don’t skip the chipotle ketchup—a smoky, tangy twist on a classic condiment that pairs perfectly with every bite.
The interior of Salchidogo is as colorful and bold as its menu. Vibrant pinks, nods to Tex-Mex flair, and an adorable chihuahua mascot devouring a hot dog make this place feel both playful and a fun spot to sit and eat. For a Texas boy like me, this spot hits a special place in my heart—and my stomach. Growing up surrounded by Tex-Mex cuisine in my family’s Mexican restaurants, I can appreciate how Salchidogo brings a fresh, gourmet take on flavors we love. It’s familiar yet elevated, and damn delicious. Oh and don’t forget to try the jaimaica – hibiscus pink lemonade tea 🤤
And here’s the cherry on top: with any combo purchase, you’ll get huesitos (tiny, bone-shaped desserts) for free—because who doesn’t love a sweet little ending? Honey and cinammon coated puff pastry goodness!
