Late night eats: The Virtually Cuban Hot Dog Cart

on the North West corner of SW 1st St and SW 1st Ave
(only open at night and typically only on nights when people go out downtown)

Five thumbs up!

While the hot dog cart isn't Cuban themed, the dude who runs is also owns Virtually Cuban on S 13th. A few years ago, this was the only late-night hot dog cart in downtown Gainesville. Recently, at least one more has popped up (caddy corner to flaco's) and during the day you can find the asshole who runs the one by the downtown plaza (don't get me started on that guy. Let's just say he started yelling at me for trying to take an extra paper towel).

In my opinion, however, the Virtually Cuban cart is the only one we need. You can get a regular beef hot dog, an Italian sausage, a beer brat, or a veggie dog. For condiments, he has a wide variety of choices including several different types of mustard and relish.

My personal favorite has always been the beer brat with some spicy mustard and sauerkraut. After a few beers, it really doesn't get much better than one of those guys.

For a while, meat was the only choice, so I was very pleased to see that he added veggie dogs as there are so many vegetarians in this town.

He also has various candies, sodas, chips and other late night necessities that you might require after drinking a few rounds.

All in all, it's a well stocked hot dog stand. You'll be hard pressed to find better, especially in this town.
