Poke Nachos
Nothing beats nachos…except poke nachos! “We’ve been seeing poke pop up everywhere in the city, and these nachos are my favorite new item we’ve created for SoFi Stadium ,” chef Julio Manzo tells LOCALE. Ultra crispy wonton chips serve as the base for this Hawaiian-inspired dish, while bright red pieces of ginger-marinated ahi tuna act as the star of the show. A house-made spicy aioli adds vibrancy and flavor, while edamame and cucumber bring fresh components to the dish.

Pork Belly Bites
Privileged guests in SoFi Stadium’s premium suites shouldn’t miss out on the new tender and tangy pork belly bites. Charred to perfection and served with a soy glaze, these bold bites literally melt in your mouth. This dish comes with a roasted shishito pepper, while spicy Fresno peppers add an ideal amount of piquancy on top. You’ll also find heat from a generous dusting of Togarashi seasoning, but all of this spice gets nicely balanced by a bit of pickled cucumber.

Ice-Cold Pacifico
As the official beer of the Los Angeles Chargers, what better beverage to have in hand when rooting on your home team? Keep an eye out for the Pacifico Patio when strolling the north concourse of SoFi Stadium, and get ready to quench your thirst with an ice-cold cerveza. Though you can’t go wrong with a standard can of their beloved Clara Mexican beer, you can also switch things up with a tangy michelada. Best of all, a crisp Pacifico pairs perfectly with almost any food, ensuring that you can explore a variety of cuisines from the many concession stands while you sip.

Ceviche
Looking to switch things up from your standard, heavy stadium fare? Suite holders are able to order fresh seafood ceviche made with shrimp, octopus and ahi tuna. “We’re fortunate to have access to premium ingredients in California,” says chef JT Walker. “All the way from Baja to Alaska, we use as much local seafood as we can.” The aguachile-style shrimp boasts a bold, zesty flavor, while cucumber and red onion add texture and crunch. Enjoy the ceviche alongside some crispy tortilla chips, but don’t forget to have an ice-cold cerveza on deck—the ceviche packs a spicy punch!

BLT Sandwich + Pot Roast Melt
Order at: Sandwich Stand
SoFi Stadium’s beloved sandwich stands on levels 2 and 3 welcomed two new additions—a BLT and a hearty pot roast melt. Though you can’t go wrong with either, the pot roast melt screams game day and football season. “I’m really partial to sandwiches,” says chef Walker. “Our pot roast melt is made with a tender and juicy chuck roast that is braised in a red wine demi glaze reduction.” The team also works with a local bakery and uses their sourdough bread as the base, but the tantalizing horseradish sauce takes this sandwich to the next level. Smoked gouda and a rich au jus sauce also combine to create a wildly dynamic flavor profile in this comforting sandwich.
Stadium Location: Levels 2 and 3
Texas Twinkies
Take your taste buds on a trip to The South when you pay a visit to SoFi Stadium’s mouthwatering BBQ stands. While you’ll find plenty of classic BBQ items like the pulled pork sandwich and smoked wings, the Texas Twinkies are a delightful and indulgent treat that combines the best of BBQ into one stuffed pepper. A hearty jalapeno is filled with cream cheese and house-smoked brisket before being wrapped in bacon. Once cooked, the bacon becomes utterly crispy, and a sweet BBQ glaze coats the entire dish, yielding an explosion of flavor you won’t soon forget. While the idea of a stuffed jalapeno might intimidate some, the spice levels are actually fairly moderate.
Stadium Location: Levels 2 and 4
Grilled Jidori Chicken Yakitori
Inspired by the diverse and abundant array of Asian cuisine in Los Angeles, these skewers are tangy, savory and totally tender. “Our new items are designed to speak to what LA is as a culture,” explains chef JT Walker. Served on a skewer, this foodie favorite is also incredibly easy to eat—but be warned, you won’t be able to have just one. Made from the thigh meat of chicken, each piece is soft and succulent. A sweet and savory teriyaki-like sauce coats each piece, while the stalk of a grilled green onion sits at the top of the skewer, rounding out the entire bite.

BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger
In true game day spirit…go big or go home! The BBQ Bacon cheeseburger from the Fairfax Ave concession stand is a testament to comfort cuisine. Made with a high-quality Angus beef hamburger patty, this hearty burger is both filling and flavorful. The signature soft Martin’s Potato Bun makes every bite as smooth as butter, while a generous dollop of tangy BBQ tantalizes your taste buds. When it comes to toppings, expect classics like American cheese, lettuce, and tomato alongside more indulgent additions of crispy bacon and fried onion rings. Pair with a side of classic French fries and you’re ready to chow down while the rival team gets a beatdown.

Churro Bites
Caught a craving for something sweet? Visit the Olvera St concession for their famous bite-sized churros. Crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside, these sugary delights are coated in a generous layer of rich cinnamon spice. However, the side of chocolate sauce is the star of the show, allowing you to dunk each piece generously before popping them into your mouth mess-free. This ideal game-day dessert is easy to share, and since you can find an Olvera St stand on four different levels in the stadium, you can grab them on-the-go during halftime.

Beyond Sausage
Vegans and vegetarians rejoice! The Beyond Sausage at the Fairfax Ave concession is just as delicious as the real thing. Made entirely of plants, these sausages use pea protein as a substitute for meat, resulting in a hearty, tender and savory sausage. Though Beyond makes a few different varieties, the concession at Fairfax Ave favors the bratwurst, which complements the pillows Martin’s Potato Bun that it sits between. Dress it with ketchup and mustard and relish before taking a big bite during the big game. Need to end with something sweet? Snag a moist and delectable cake brownie before heading back to your seats to watch your favorite team score.
