The Taco Dawg - Good Food Isn't Complicated

We all know how much of an appetite you can work up dancing.  On any given night at The ATOMIC Ballroom you can find a delicious food truck waiting outside to satisfy your dance munchies.

On Friday night at ATOMIC’S Big Band Night I had the pleasure of talking to Fox, owner and operator of the Taco Dawg.  The Taco Dawg’s mantra is that “good food isn’t complicated” and they deliver.  The Taco Dawg specializes in tacos and hot dogs, out of Fox’s two loves.  Fox was born and raised near Detroit, and when he moved out to California he missed the hot dog trucks that popularize the East Coast and the Midwest.  Then he saw the Kogi truck, and knew that it was time to start his own food truck.  Just six months old, the Taco Dawg is already making the rounds around Los Angeles and Orange County.

tacos for even the pickiest palettes, including The Seoul Man (a Korean taco with marinated meat, kim chee salad with a gochujang dawg sauce) and, for those Midwesterners and east coasters who remember the classics you can get from a hot dog stand, nosh on the Big City Dawg (an all beef Dawg topped with sauerkraut, brown mustard and grilled onions).  Or, if you prefer lighter fare, order a delicious salad, dessert, or appetizer (I recommend their fried macaroni and cheese – delish!).
