Food -
If you like diner style food, then Doggeros is a must-visit. First, the dogs. There are numerous hotdogs to select from. Each dog comes on a brioche bun and is all beef. Of course, you can select a plain dog, but for the adventurous there are options like the Papi Chulo Super Doggo which comes wrapped in smoked bacon, smothered in mozzarella cheese, and loaded with chorizo, grilled onions, chipotle mayo, avocado, and special sauces. It's a mouthful... for sure! For heat lovers, try the Fuego Doggo which is a beef hot link with grilled onions and jalapenos, chipotle mayo, and cheese sauce.
If you're craving a burger, there are an equal number of amazing variations to select. On my visit to Doggeros I chose the Carne Asada burger. It was a loaded up burger with carne asada instead of a traditional burger patty. The sirloin steak it was made of went perfectly in the brioche burger bun and was a flavor experience that I had never had before. Traditional patties are also available as well as a burger that comes with a mesquite charbroiled grilled chicken filet. There are so many choices that it is a given to come back for multiple visits just to try them.
Though all this food seems to be rather heavy, they surprisingly have a lighter feel to them. I believe it's because the ingredients they use are fresh. You can spot them when you are making your order. I love that! But if you're not in the mood for hotdogs and hamburgers they have light and veggie options.
One thing that I am very excited about is the availability of elote, a grille Mexican corn. There aren't that many places that have this, but they do! There are a few variations to choose from and you can even get it in a cup.
And that's not the end of it! Doggeros also has tacos and Mexican dessert like churros. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. Doggeros has a wide selection of mouth watering food!
Service/Atmosphere -
Doggeros took over another dive/diner location in Woodland. It's definitely not the most modern looking place, but it has a dive-y feel that is right for the type of food they serve. I found the customer service to be excellent. The cashier was extremely friendly and the person I picked up my food from was helpful and nice. No complaints regarding service, in fact, it was top notch.
If you're dining in, you'll be eating in a covered patio area as there is no indoor seating available. The covered area does the job well and there is a surprisingly good amount of tables and counter space for people to eat at.
On your first visit, you may be confused as to how to get to the ordering window as you have to open up their gate to go inside, but once you figure that out you should be ok.
Price -
Prices at Doggeros are moderate. This isn't a huge budget friendly place, but the prices are not excessive and are appropriate for the quality and portion of the food you get. Their plain hotdog is $3.95 with their specialties going from $7 to $9 dollars. Burgers are in the ten dollar range and come with a side of fries.
Special Tips and Recommendations -
I recommend coming to Doggeros as early as you can to avoid the lines. I came shortly after it first opened at 11am and the line was just fine, but as I sat and ate, more and more people started to come. With the heat of Woodland in the summer, you definitely don't want to be stuck waiting in line in the burning hot sun. Also, be prepared to wait a bit after you order. I found the wait time for food to arrive a bit longer than most places.
Bottom Line -
I highly recommend coming to Woodland to try Doggeros. It's a diner that really offers a unique taste in hotdogs and hamburgers. Everything I had was delicious and I am really chomping at the bit to go back for some more!
