Heading to Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres, and hoping to see that they have vegan options for the 2025 baseball season? You are in the right place! We have shared every vegan option provided by the ballpark along with what section it is close to and the name of the vendor.
If you prefer to bring your own food in, we have information about that along with their beverage and bag policies. Should you choose to eat before or after the game, we also listed a couple of restaurants.
If you find something at the park that we should know about, please reach out and let us know so we can continue to improve this guide!

Can I Bring Food Into Petco Park?
If you’re thinking about bringing vegan food into the game with you, here are a few Petco Park policies that you’ll want to be aware of. These were taken directly from the Padres A to Z guide.
Bags (as of 4.15.25)
- For enhanced ballpark security and to expedite the entry process for all of our guests, Petco Park will prohibit bags with the exception for single compartment clear plastic bags not exceeding 12” X 6” X 12” and infant and medical bags. Clutches and purses no larger than 5” X 7”.
Food & Drink Policy (as of 4.15.25)
The San Diego Padres permit guests to bring food into Petco Park intended for individual consumption (not for groups of individuals) and should be consumed in one’s seat. Outside food cannot be brought into any ballpark restaurant, club lounge, or suite. Guests must also adhere to the following:
- All food items should be wrapped, bagged, or left inside a container to avoid spillage.
- Food that might be thrown as a projectile must be sliced or sectioned (i.e., oranges, apples, and other fruits).
- Food containers must be soft-sided and comply with Petco Park bag policies.
- Guests are allowed to bring one factory-sealed plastic bottled water that is still, clear, and unflavored and that is one (1) liter (32 ounces) or less, and soft-sided single juice or milk containers or ADA required liquids in a sealed container.
- One (1) liter reusable water bottles (no glass) are permitted and must be empty upon entry into the ballpark.
