Dog House is truly a no frills dining experience. In fact, they only take cash and don’t have a large seating area. You’ll find many old school cars in the parking lot, just like the good ol’ days.

Their chili dog is world-famous and has been featured in many different magazines and publications. At a foot long and topped with onions and cheese, you won’t go hungry.

What’s special about this chili is that it’s not the average ground beef slop you’ll find elsewhere. This sauce is rich and fiery, as you’d expect from any New Mexican establishment.
