San Antonio introduces Chicago Hot Dogs, a unique eatery aiming to deliver authentic Windy City flavors to Texas. With 100% Vienna Beef hot dogs and made-from-scratch Italian beef sandwiches, it promises a genuine Chicago experience.

San Antonio is getting ready to tickle your taste buds with the opening of **Chicago Hot Dogs**, a delightful new eatery aiming to bring that authentic Windy City flavor right to your plate! Located at 12914 Jones Maltsberger Rd, this restaurant is all about creating an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re strolling the streets of Chicago without leaving Texas.
Owned by the passionate Amado de la Torre, Chicago Hot Dogs is designed with a mission in mind: To make every single visitor feel like they’ve just taken a little trip to Chicago. Picture vibrant decor, the scents of delicious food wafting through the air, and a menu that puts the spotlight on one of Chicago’s most famous delicacies—**the hot dog**!
The star of the show at this charming restaurant is definitely the 100% Vienna Beef hot dogs. Each dog is served up plump and juicy on a classic poppy seed bun, a little detail that makes all the difference in authenticity. But that’s not all! If you’re craving something hearty, be sure to sample their made-from-scratch Italian beef sandwiches, which are crafted in-house and served on the most popular French bread imported directly from Chicago.
To ensure each bite feels like a genuine Chicago experience, all ingredients for their hot dogs—think green relish, small peppers, pickles, and those iconic poppy seed buns—are sourced from Illinois. You can’t get more authentic than that! And, for the Italian beef lovers out there, the sandwiches boast a flavor profile that will make you think you’ve found the best-kept secret in the city.
If you’re a savvy shopper, you’ll want to take advantage of a special offer at Chicago Hot Dogs this week. By simply mentioning you saw the deal on **”Keepin’ It Puro”**, you can snag a 20% discount off your bill! There’s nothing quite like enjoying a delicious meal while saving a few bucks, right?
But wait, there’s more Chicago goodness heading your way! In the summer of 2025, another beloved Chicago chain, **Portillo’s**, is set to open its first location in South Texas, just 22 miles east of San Antonio in Schertz. Excitingly, this will be the only location in Texas outside of the busy Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas. Talk about a hot dog hub!
Portillo’s will serve classic Chicago-style hot dogs, finger-licking Italian beef sandwiches, and their famous chocolate cake shakes. As they continue to establish their presence in Texas with several locations already opened since January 2023, the new Schertz restaurant will add to a string of delicious eateries along the Interstate 35 corridor, perfect for both locals and travelers alike.
For those unfamiliar with the wonders of a Chicago-style hot dog, it’s all about the toppings, folks! A typical offering features a beef frank nestled in a steamed poppy seed bun, and it’s topped with a colorful combination of chopped onions, diced tomatoes, a dill pickle spear, whole sport peppers, celery salt, and a splash of Piccalilli relish. Just a heads up, though—traditional Chicago dogs do not include ketchup, a quirk that has sparked lively discussions among hot dog lovers!
If you’re curious to explore the Chicago dog scene beyond San Antonio, several locations across the U.S. specialize in these gourmet treats. You can check out places like **The Wieners Circle** in Chicago, **Dave’s Red Hots**, and **Wolfy’s**, each offering their unique takes on this classic Chicago staple.
So, whether you’re a Chicago native missing a taste of home or a curious foodie in search of new flavors, Chicago Hot Dogs is a must-visit destination in San Antonio. Grab your pals and get ready for an adventure of delicious proportions!
