Ever wondered if Costco food courts outside the U.S. serve their famous hot dog and soda combo? Great news! You can find this tasty treat at locations around the world. However, the menus vary, so you might discover some exciting options abroad, especially in Mexico.
In Mexico, hot dogs come with a twist. They offer hand-cranked jalapeño dispensers, giving your dog a nice kick. On top of that, you can find pumps for ketchup, mustard, and even mayonnaise. That’s a lot more than what American stores typically offer!
Fruit smoothies are also popular in Costco’s food courts. While the U.S. serves a mix of berries, Mexico has a mango smoothie that’s a must-try. This flavorful option recently appeared in the U.S., but some people criticized its odd brown color. In contrast, Mexico’s mango smoothie dazzles with a cheerful yellow hue. YouTuber Mike Chen shared his experience tasting it, claiming it tasted just like fresh mango. Sounds delicious!
Costco members might remember a time when U.S. locations had hand-crank dispensers for onions, too. Those disappeared during the pandemic, but some stores have started bringing them back. However, no more all-you-can-eat onions. Now, you can request small cups of diced onions instead, which means your options are more limited than before.
Over the years, Costco has introduced and retired various sandwiches. While some favorites, like BBQ beef brisket and turkey sandwiches, have vanished, Mexico offers something similar. They serve a cold turkey and Swiss sandwich with tomato spread, but it’s not exclusive to Mexico. Change is always on the table at Costco, except for that iconic hot dog and soda price.
