Home runs don’t always come easy but you can always count on Petco Park to deliver delicious concessions and tasty food options for Padres fans. With only a few hours to work with, knowing what to eat is an essential part of your game plan.
Each year, some venues bow out to make room for new food and beverage stands in the stadium. It’s always exciting to learn about what’s new. To get an early taste of new concessions and menu items for 2023, plan on attending this year’s Padres FanFest.
Once the new concessions are announced for 2023, we’ll post them here!
Newest Concessions
Local flavor is what Petco Park is all about. New San Diego-based vendors in 2022 included
Negihama Sushi,
Sambazon for acai bowls as well as acai margaritas,
Jack in the Box (yes it is local, founded in 1951 by a
San Diegan) and
Holy Paleta frozen pops from Bonita.
Another new concession last year: San Diego’s Finest Hot Chicken for spicy fried chicken sandwiches and Cucina Stella: for great Neapolitan-style pizza, garlic knots and handmade meatball sandwiches.
Fans at Petco Park can access food and drink info through the MLB Ballpark App on their cellphone and use it to purchase food, drinks and other items.
For increased safety, there will be no vendors walking the aisles selling beer, peanuts, popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream etc.
