Best Food From a Cart Mickey’s Hot Dogs
Pineapple relish, mango chutney, honey mustard, island slaw, island kraut and mango habanera… try one of those toppings on your gourmet dog or sausage at Mickey’s and you’re sure to say, “Hot Dog!” Mickey’s of Coronado is locally
owned by the Kinzel family, who made the move to Coronado three years ago from Arizona.

EDITOR’S PICK
Cupcakes that Dreams are made of Weincakes
Got a sweet tooth? Then make a beeline for Weincakes! We’re in love with the Strawberry Shortcake cupcake (with strawberry filling), but close seconds are Coconut, Salt-Caramel, Red Velvet and Karl’s Karrot…all piled high with icings where flavors pack a punch. Like all the sweet sensations at Weincakes, these cupcakes are made from scratch by Coronado’s Toni Weinfurtner, a self-taught baker and cook extraordinaire.
