The Compound by Dirt Dog - Commerce, California

Hot dog fans, come here! It's an industrial warehouse converted into a modern, casual restaurant& bar. There's outdoor seating if indoor space runs out. Not terribly busy on a Thursday for early dinner but there were a good handful of people there. My husband and I tried the elote, chili, and Philly cheese steak dogs. We liked the garlic fries so much we got two baskets. Only photographed the chili dog (sorry we were so hungry).

Saw some photos on social media, so we had to stop in during our LA visit. It's located in an industrial area, but was easy to find. The dogs did not disappoint. Freaking loaded! Get the deep fried oreos to top off lunch. I'd eat the whipped topping by the mugful. Unfortunately the service was SLOOOOWWWW. There were a total of 3 people inside, and still took over 40 minutes to get our order to go. I actually ate my entire meal by the time our other order came out. Check out the bathroom wallpaper. Classic!

Don’t let your eyes be bigger than your stomach, portions are MASSIVE!

Food was great! I’m a picky eater, but they have so many different options it was easy to pick. Plus they can easily take off something if you ask (i asked for the bacon on the side which was no problem!). We didn’t see any ketchup but all you have to do is ask. They have packets in the back + a spicy ketchup that I think they make! Here are the deets regarding the food:
- Dogs: DUI, Snoop, and House graced our table. I personally had the veggie as a House since I don’t eat meat and LOVED it. My bf tried it and said it’s good and he’s not a big fan of veggie options. PS get the lobster roll, it’s like Texas toast!
- Fries: so many options! We got the Carne asada, DUI, Filthy fries. TBH I would even order the fries plain because they were so good. The Filthy fries were a tiny bit spicy for me, but to give you context, I can’t take black pepper.
- Corn: we got the elote. I’d say they were v good, transparently I’ve never had elote before so they were perfect. My bf said “eh ok”. So maybe try the cup?
- Tacos: BOMB. Enough said.
- Dessert: order the deep fried Oreos for the horchata whipped cream. I took my fork and ate that straight no shame.
- Quick service, smelled bomb, and be ready to eat messy!

Overall, A+ but note for anyone who uses a bag, there is no hook in the restroom to hang things.

This spot is super Dope!!! Excellent service, food was delicious and the atmosphere is Amazing! I give each category 10 stars 🌟 It's a very spacious location. I highly recommend this place! The carne asada fries are finger linking good and they have Mexican glass bottle coke!! I had to try the Fried oreos and the churro. They both come with horchata whip cream made fresh there!

Dirt Dog is a hidden gem in the middle of an industrial area in the City of Commerce. Sundays seem to attract a local street bike crowd. It also has an open air market with vendors selling their products. The food is delicious and the service matches. Plenty of room in doors and out. Bring the kids! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good old hot dog & American mural style restaurant. This location is new in Commerce. They have good seating spots both inside and outside. Parking lot too.

Churros was exceptional!! I like the corn and elote hot dog too but the churros was far beyond everything else. Mine one was very crispy and not oily. It goes very well with the white cream given together.

This is a newly opened location. My recommendation is to go before it gets busy. The outdoor seating is nice to enjoy in daytime.

This new Dirt Dog location is spacious, the food was awesome. I got the elote fries and the bacon wrapped dog! I’ll be back, they will get craft brew too!

I've always went to the DT location. This one is closer to home. The vibe is great. Indoor dining, outdoor dining. Very comfortable. Food has always been great. Forgot to take a picture of the inside. But definitely go check it out.
