Search for the parking structure before you go. Google takes you to a gate entrance that is locked. No parking. Took me a while to figure out how to get in. I ended up parking on the street which felt a little sketch. I found out there was a nice parking structure only after being inside.It was a very California experience, very crowded, long lines, trendy, hot, beautiful people. Haha. I didn’t stay long. Almost no shade.
Great spot to get your foodie fix in this every-Sunday-event that offers FREE parking (2 hours). This place has a ton of street food vendors set up neatly in this little area with other products (jewelry and clothing) in the middle. You can find plenty of food stands that have been featured on various shows scattered around with some real heavy-hitters of the LA street food scene here. You can find everything from soup dumplings, lobster rolls, smoked ribs, spam musubi and so many different kinds of tacos. They even have a section called Ice Cream Alley that doesn't really need an explanation. Plenty of vegan options and the staff and vendors are all very friendly. I was very impressed how approachable the entire event is. We got there right after it started at 10 and it was steady, but by noon it was busy. Wasn't difficult to find parking, wasn't difficult to get in and get settled and it was even easier to start diving into all.the offerings. Im very impressed with how the event is ran and how well it's all set up. If your looking for an eclectic glimpse of what the LA street food scene has to offer, go check this out for sure!
Smorgasburg was a fun experience. Parking was available via parking garage ($) and side street parking near the entrance (free) if you're lucky. There were sections for desert, drinks, and entrees. Expect to spend a bit ($10-$30) per person if you want a meal and a drink/desert. Atmosphere was great lots of people with many spots to sit down. There were many options to choose from from seafood, fried chicken, boba, ice cream, and much more. Smorgasburg also had a plethora of tiny shops that had trinkets, gifts, clothing, jewelry, and even hot sauce! This place would be great for dates, family fun, and friends. I personally recommend doing a lap around the entire place to check all your options before choosing a place to eat! 5/5
Best of all foods in one place.
Love this place. Perfect for a day out and to bring friends. We tried out a lot today, and there's so much to taste and discover. Great vendors with food, and also makers.
So many options. They have everything you could possibly think of. I think the only thing I didn’t see was breakfast food, but it was so many trucks I may have missed it. Great music, fun people. Free entry!
Sadly when I discovered this place it was neat closing so I didn't get to try a bunch of foods. The variety was great though. The lines are so long that it's best to go with friends so each one can stand in a different line. There are also many businesses that sell products. It's very hot but there is shade in the beer garden if you are old enough.
This place is a hidden gem found through a friend. I live in SanDiego was definitely worth the drive they have something for everyone there. Plenty of parking first 2 hours are free. Not only do they have food but there are local small businesses selling as well as cute shops in the huge shopping center. They have clean nice restrooms so you can pretty much spend quiet a bit of time here. I got there early and hour after they opened was able to get everything I came for I recommend sharing so you can try several things because it is really hard to choose. All the vendors were very welcoming, they had music going felt like a big party they have a beer garden. I'll definitely be back have so many more things I still need to try. So if you're free on a Sunday go show them and yourself some love.
Absolutely wonderful experience and delicious food every time. Cash or card, they accommodate all. Great music and drinks. Very clean.
This location is absolutely amazing. Only open on Sunday’s, houses 40+ food vendors, that cater to every single diet, and any/all the cravings you have (even cravings you didn’t know you had at all). I recommend walking in first, and taking a look at every food stand, before making your choice. It’ll be hard, because everything is going to smell and look great, but I promise you, whichever stand you choose to eat from, you will not be disappointed! I recommend this to anyone who’s visiting the LA area!
