Cargo Snack Shack: Reviews & Ratings
The little shack that could! Had a great dog walk around the park and always knew this place was here. Got the Angeleno staple and it was perfect + some bomb fries. It literally hit the brunch spot. The cold beer and mimosa didn't hurt either. Our doggo loved the homemade doggy treats too. 10/10 recommend
Maybe the best cheeseburger and fries I've had in a decade! It was perfect, simple and delicious. I am burger lover/snob and this one is worth driving across town to get. (Now, I want to try other things on the menu:)
Love, love, love the new menu!! Brussel sprouts are a must try and that veggie burger I mean it was already good but this is even better!!! The team is always so inviting and a great place to grab food as you enter the park! Picnic perfect
I dog sit in the area and we always come to the park. I've been to the Snack Shack 3 or 4 times now and they are always so great. They give out homemade dog treats and sometimes extra samples of dog food, treats, toppers. The food is fantastic and so is the coffee.
THIS PLACE FUCKS SO HARD. The employees are so nice and Mark absolutely rocks!!!! He brought our food to the table himself and we had an amazing conversation. Also, THEY MAKE AMAZING FOOD. The pulled pork burger and la fries are so good. They cut their fries in a unique shape like I've NEVER seen any other place with the same cut of fries. Also the strawberry shake is BOMB (and dairy-free)!!!! The outdoor seating is so nice and breezy cuz there's lots of shade from the trees. I cannot say enough good things about this place!!!! Please support Cargo Snack Shack they deserve all the love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This place is fantastic. Good food, great service always friendly. Had a very nice walk around the park. It was very chill happy vibe. Their margaritas are refreshing the tajin around the rim tastes perfect. The pretzel bites I can't they are so fluffy with the perfect salt flavor and that queso ugh perfection. We shared the La fries which were perfect, the queso fire....the thick fresh hot crispy fries with the green onion . I'm not a hot dog person but something about the pulled pork hot dog called my attention and let me tell you no regerts (inside joke ... sorry not sorry) oh yeah and the chips are great overall 100% come check it out great prices for the quality.
Came across this spot by accident and what a great accident it was!! This place is located beside a little park near China Town. Their menu has a very good variety of stuff. (Even Alcoholic Beverages) they have milkshakes and the option to give it an alcoholic upgrade!! Yes this place has delicious food,snacks and even shakes for the kids or even us Grown Kids . The service was great and the outdoor area has plenty of shade to enjoy the vibes. Thanks to Cargo for the excellent service
A beautiful, partially cloudy day is a perfect climate for this outdoors patio area restaurant. As soon as I arrived, I knew I'd feel the guilt of devouring this Fried Chicken sandwich that is so airy, due to all these runners and their dogs besides the park. The batter was light, chicken, absolutely moist. Like eating a chicken cloud is how I'd describe it. The slaw is on the side, so your sandwich isn't soggy. The added thick diced pickles under the sandwich is surprisingly different. The chips. I loved them so much, because it's not like a thin crispy chip, but also not like a potato skin. The variation of thicknesses is sublime. A crisp chip, a rubbery chip, a thick potato-y chip.
Didn't have high expectations for this place but it exceeded my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed the Blue Cheese Burger (it might have a different name). The customer service was great and ambiance was nice for a fresh Thursday in Cali. Highly recommend it! Thank you for the chips Cargo Snack! Delicious. $14
Tried this place out through the off the menu app and came back a few months later for street food cinema show. Both times the food has been amazing. It also helps a ton that there is loads of free parking, a giant park next to it with lush scenery to take in. The food is relatively quick and the flavors of both the burger and grilled + fried chickens are all tasty. You can't beat the quiet ambiance with the dtla skyline in the clear view. Lovely quiet spot right outside of Chinatown that's perfect for a quick bite with no fuss.
