Your Ultimate Guide to What to Eat and Drink at the San Diego Padres' Petco Park

The San Diego Padres’ Petco Park is America’s #1 Ballpark, as rated by USA Today — and the park’s delicious variety of food and drink plays a huge part in that acclaim. Here's a themed look at Petco Park's all-star bites and beverages.

Stone Brewing Co.

San Diego-bred Stone Brewing Company returns this season in a newly renovated bar space on the Upper Level near Section 309 that features a large selection of the brewer's most popular craft styles, with scenic views out to Coronado and Downtown.

The Draft by Ballast Point

This Petco Park and San Diego mainstay pairs popular brews such as the Sculpin IPA with tempting menu items. Try the classic Baja fish taco, made with beer-battered fish, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo and chipotle sauce; or the Hot Hen fries, featuring seasoned fries topped with honey agave-dipped breaded chicken, hot hen spice, Fresno chili coleslaw, sliced bread & butter pickle and fuego hot sauce.

Deckman’s at The Draft

In partnership with nationally recognized culinary talent and Michelin-starred chef Drew Deckman, The Draft by Ballast Point (located above Seaside Market in Section 105)  features an elevated menu with a variety of fresh seafood options, including fish tacos, ceviche, Baja fries, carnitas wings and fresh oysters.

Mostra Coffee

Mostra is pouring a variety of its signature coffee blends, from cold brew to espresso to other specialty drinks, in a newly created location in the Mercado. Mostra's coffee is also available at select concession stands and premium areas throughout Petco Park.

Puesto

With three restaurants around San Diego, Puesto is a local favorite for authentic Mexican food at Petco Park. Step up to the plate for handmade organic tortillas, flavorful guacamole and award-winning tacos like the queso birria (shredded beef short rib) taco, and top it off with a tasty Cadillac margarita.

Grand Ole BBQ

Authentic, Texas-style barbecue is the hit at Grand Ole BBQ, which was born in trendy North Park. Choose from a menu of low- and slow-smoked meat sandwiches such as brisket, pulled pork, and their amazing Borracho fries.

Jack in the Box

San Diego’s venerable burgers-and-more behemoth serves up such fast-food faves at the ballpark as loaded tiny tacos, chicken strips, curly fries and mini churros. And don’t miss the signature Purple Haze cocktail — not something you can grab at your neighborhood drive-through. 

Gelati & Peccati

Get your eyes on the pies at this purveyor of Roman-style pizzas, part of the Buona Forchetta family of Italian eateries. G&P, which serves up pizza varieties from Margherita to Meat Lovers, is one of several food stations situated in the Mercado at Petco Park, on the main concourse behind home plate.

Pizza Port

Sure, you can get pizza and beer at other stadiums, but not like this. Pizza Port is a beloved local food at Petco Park and a San Diego staple, known for its delicious slices and the craft beer it brews. A specialty slice and a Walk-Off Wheat (brewed to be poured at Petco Park) puts pizza and beer on a whole different level.

Seaside Market

Seaside Market in coastal North County's Cardiff-by-the-Sea is famous for its tri-tip, affectionately (and feverishly) known as Cardiff Crack. The only place you can get the tri-tip on nachos, however, is right here at Petco Park. Seaside also offers such one-off delicacies as custom gummi bears.

Hodad's

Hodad's is as San Diegan as tan lines and flip-flops. Locals swear by the burgers, but they're not the only ones. Food Network personality Guy Fieri is such a fan (once stating that their bacon is the best he's ever had) that he has his own item on the menu: The Guido Burger.

Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill

You can find Blue Water Seafood on the Terrace Level in the .394 by Alesmith bar. Enjoy a Track Taco with fresh caught shrimp grilled in chipotle butter and topped with Maui onion and mango slaw served on a fresh corn tortilla with melted cheddar, dressed with homemade white sauce, tomatillo sauce, and avocado finished with a pinch of queso fresco.

Board and Brew

Sandwiches are the stars and a tasty food option at Petco Park. A San Diego favorite for sandwiches, including such signature items as the turkado — a towering turkey sando topped with plenty of avocado.

Cravory Cookies

Cravory Cookies are familiar to any San Diegan with a sweet tooth. This is the place to go for delicious, fresh gourmet cookies with creative flavors, from lemon bar and salted caramel cream to German chocolate cake and donut glaze.

An's Field Services

Another great stop in the Mercado, An’s Field Services brings its signature San Diego gelato flavors to Petco Park, in a space outfitted to look like the stadium grounds crew’s garage. An’s serves up such ballpark-exclusive varieties as “Clay” (Nutella and Brownie) and “Chalk” (Vegan Lemon and Almond Sorbet), along with top flavors from the company's hugely popular locations elsewhere around town.

WestBrew

Another Craft Row entry, Vista-based WestBrew serves up such baseball-centric favorites as the Double Header and the Full Count IPA at its Petco Park location.

Nova Easy Kombucha

San Diego's own Nova brings its delicious hard kombuchas (the Sexy Pina Colada is a classic) to Petco Park as part of the Craft Beers of San Diego program, at Craft Row on the ballpark's Main Concourse.

Pop Pie Co.

Locally owned and operated, the popular Pop Pie Co. is joining the Petco Park hospitality lineup with a cart location in Power Alley (Section 129). Fans can indulge in Pop Pie's savory pie flavors, including Classic Chicken served with chicken breast, garden vegetables, pearl onions and creamy herb sauce in their signature all-butter crust, in addition to the green hog & cheese served with slow braised pork shoulder, roasted serrano, jalapeño, pasilla peppers, tomatillo and jack cheese in their signature all-butter crust. All savory pies can be enjoyed with their freshly made sides of mashed potatoes and gravy.

Puesto

With three restaurants around San Diego, Puesto is a local favorite for authentic Mexican food at Petco Park. Step up to the plate for handmade organic tortillas, flavorful guacamole and award-winning tacos like the queso birria (shredded beef short rib) taco, and top it off with a tasty Cadillac margarita.

Elote

Grilled corn (or elote) is a Mexican street-food favorite, and this Petco Park concept takes the delicacy to the next level with two new offerings. The Elote Classico comes with lime crema, cotija cheese, cilantro, fuego sauce and Tajin, the spicy-citrusy chili lime seasoning. And you've simply gotta try the Elote Especial, which adds a topping of Tajin Pop Rocks (trust us, it's amazing) along with a chicharron-carnitas stuffed jalapeno pepper.

Santa Maria Grill at Pacifico

Try the signature Baja Lobster Roll at this stand, which does its wood-fired cooking live while you wait.

The Draft by Ballast Point

This Petco Park and San Diego mainstay pairs popular brews such as the Sculpin IPA with tempting menu items. Try the classic Baja fish taco, made with beer-battered fish, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo and chipotle sauce; or the Hot Hen fries, featuring seasoned fries topped with honey agave-dipped breaded chicken, hot hen spice, Fresno chili coleslaw, sliced bread & butter pickle and fuego hot sauce.

In partnership with nationally recognized culinary talent and Michelin-starred chef Drew Deckman, The Draft by Ballast Point (located above Seaside Market in Section 105)  features an elevated menu with a variety of fresh seafood options, including fish tacos, ceviche, Baja fries, carnitas wings and fresh oysters.

San Diego’s Finest Hot Chicken

If hot chicken is your thing, better wing your way over to one of two San Diego's Finest Hot Chicken ballpark locations for their specially created Petco Park signature sandwich, the Hot Hen. This fan favorite features seasoned crispy chicken topped with Fresno chile slaw, pickles and fuego sauce, and served on a brioche bun.

Seaside Market

Seaside Market in coastal North County's Cardiff-by-the-Sea is famous for its tri-tip, affectionately (and feverishly) known as Cardiff Crack. The only place you can get the tri-tip on nachos, however, is right here at Petco Park. Seaside also offers such one-off delicacies as custom gummi bears.

Coco Ichibanya

Curry House Coco Ichibanya, known as “CocoICHI," is one of the original Japanese-style curry house chains and the largest curry chain in the world, specializing in a wide variety of Japanese-style curry rice dishes. Located in the Mercado area in Section 104, Coco Ichibanya is bringing new cultural flavors to Petco Park with its renowned Curry Rice, Curry Buns, Keema Cheese Fries and Garlic Nan Bread.

In partnership with Coco Ichibanya, Petco Park is also excited to introduce Sanyo Foods this year, with their signature Fish Fry also featured on the CocoICHI menu. A traditional Japanese favorite, Sanyo Foods' Panko breadcrumb crusted mackerel will be a welcome addition for fans seeking an authentic Japanese experience.

Negihama Sushi

Negihama Sushi offers a variety of fresh-made, grab-and-go sushi in the park’s Mercado section.

Spiro's Mediterranean Cuisine

The ballpark branch of Spiro's (whose other San Diego locations are in La Jolla and Coronado) boasts such fresh and healthy Mediterranean options as a traditional Greek gyro and a Horiatiki (aka Greek salad) bowl.

An's Gelato

Another great stop in the Mercado, An’s Field Services brings its signature San Diego gelato flavors to Petco Park, in a space outfitted to look like the stadium grounds crew’s garage.

The Mini Donut Co.

Located in Section 109 and also available in Petco Park suites, the taste treats from the Mini Donut Co. — a favorite spot at the Liberty Public Market food hall in Point Loma — come in fun, signature flavors and rotating styles such as glazed, cinnamon sugar and frosted with sprinkles.

Cravory Cookies

Cravory Cookies are familiar to any San Diegan with a sweet tooth. This is the place to go for delicious, fresh gourmet cookies with creative flavors, from lemon bar and salted caramel cream to German chocolate cake and donut glaze.

Mister Softee

Get your ice cream on the old-fashioned way with this Petco Park returnee’s swirly desserts, guaranteed to take you right back to kidhood (as well as take the edge off a balmy summer’s day at the ballyard).

Sambazon

Turn your Padres adventure into a bowl game with the awesome superfood açaí, courtesy of Sambazon and its tasty, plant-based açaí bowls. Not only does Sambazon offer such tempting varieties as the chocolate peanut butter bowl, berry bowl and protein bowl, it also serves up an açaí margarita.

Stone Brewing Co.

San Diego-bred Stone Brewing Company returns this season in a newly renovated bar space on the Upper Level near Section 309 that features a large selection of the brewer's most popular craft styles, with scenic views out to Coronado and Downtown.

Cutwater Spirits Rum Bar

Baseball, an ice-cold cocktail from Cutwater Spirits and San Diego's clear blue or starry night skies — that's our idea of a triple play. This local distillery's Three Sheets Rum is crafted from pure cane sugar rather than molasses, and is a nice complement to any Petco Park outing.

Nova Easy Kombucha

San Diego's own Nova brings its delicious hard kombuchas (the Sexy Pina Colada is a classic) to Petco Park as part of the Craft Beers of San Diego program, at Craft Row on the ballpark's Main Concourse.

WestBrew

Another Craft Row entry, Vista-based WestBrew serves up such baseball-centric favorites as the Double Header and the Full Count IPA at its Petco Park location.

Teaspoon brings boba tea to the ballpark's Gallagher Square with three different flavors on a rotating basis, including Classic Thai Tea, House Milk Tea, Silky Mango, Mango on Fire, Mango Lemonade, Guava Sunset and Caramel Cream.

Mostra Coffee

Mostra is pouring a variety of its signature coffee blends, from cold brew to espresso to other specialty drinks, in a newly created location in the Mercado. Mostra's coffee is also available at select concession stands and premium areas throughout Petco Park.

Frozen Friar

Perfect for summer days and nights at the ballpark, this new frozen-drink concept comes in flavors from Mangonada to Strawberry Lemonade, available either with alcohol or in a "mocktail" version.

Lane Field Lemonade

With a name that pays tribute to the Padres' original home along San Diego's Embarcadero, Lane Field Lemonade is on pour at locations throughout the ballpark.

Craft Beer Row

San Diegans love baseball. They also love craft beer. That's why Petco Park offers the best craft beer experience found at a ballpark. Check out Craft Row, a row of beer stands located behind home plate, and each featuring suds from some of the many breweries around town. It's like walking through a beer festival on the way to your seat.
