What is on it?
We found no published topping breakdown for the Mexi dog. The nutrition guide gives a clue: its vitamin A and C values are the highest of any dog, which points to vegetable toppings, and its 29 grams of carbs match the Cook Out Style. Ask at the window for the build, since the board gives only the name.
How does the Mexi compare with the burgers?
A Mexi dog has 385 calories and 12 grams of protein for $1.69, against a Small burger's 245 calories and 14 grams of protein for $2.99. The dog is $1.30 cheaper and 140 calories heavier. See the Small burger guide for that side.
Who gets the most from a Mexi dog?
Anyone who wants the most food for the least money. It is not a low-sodium order, so pair it with unsalted sides, and skip it if you track sodium.
