Best Food at Miami Marlins LoanDepot Park
The Marlins Are Back...Con El Machete!
Peanuts and Cracker Jacks? They’re ok, I guess. But the Miami Marlins just dropped a whole new slew of fantastic food for the 2026 season, and we got a chance to try it all ahead of opening day. Here’s a look at the 7 best new things you can eat at the ballpark from sushi to a notorious two-food quesadilla.
7. Colombian Hot Dog
Los Verdes, Section 220 – First base, Club Level
If you’ve never tried a Colombian hot dog outside the hours of 2-4 am, I’m pleased to report they’re even more delicious during daylight. In a very-Miami take on the traditional ballpark hot dog, the new Los Verdes stand on the Club Level will be dishing out the Colombian variety, topped with salsa Rosada, shoestring potatoes, and melted cheese. Los Verdes also offers fans a chance to try other Colombian specialties like taquenos, malcito, and Medellin-style burgers.
6. Vegan Chorizo Tacos
Oppo Taco, Section 8 – First Base, First Level
If you’re a taco purist, everything about plant-based meat inside a flour tortilla just screams “taco abomination.” I’m with you, but open your mind and you’ll find this one of the most delicious bites at the ballpark. Hand this to a plant-based skeptic and they’ll have no idea it’s meat free, and the spices and onions inside do more to help the flavor than animal fat ever could. It’s part of the Marlins new lineup of plant-based ballpark alternatives, with vegan chicken tenders, burgers, and hot dogs at other stands around the ballpark.
5. Sushi Rolls
SuViche, Section 210 – Third base, Club Level
In a city where we open new omakase counters more often than we open the stadium roof, it’s about time we finally got some sushi at the ballpark. The new rolls come from local Nikkei favorite SuViche, who’ll also have poke bowls and poke nachos. No, gringos, there will not be lomo saltado.
4. El Machete
Pan Con Beisbol, Section 40- Right Field, First Level
Though we can’t prove it, we like to think it’s a pretty interesting coincidence that a month ago we posted about this two-foot quesadilla at Taqueria Nopales, and all of a sudden it’s the viral Marlins food item of the season. So you’re welcome, Miami, because now you and your friends can enjoy two feet of carne asada and melted cheese inside a gargantuan tortilla, and probably get on TV at least once.
3. Mister Softee Ice Cream
Several locations
I can’t explain why, but no ice cream on earth tastes better than soft serve out of a plastic baseball helmet. The Marlins upped their soft serve game this season by bringing in soft serve icon Mister Softee to do the sundae-making honors. The ultimate flex is going to a weekday day game, getting one of these babies, and sending pictures of yourself eating it to all your friends with crazy stuff like “day jobs” and “children.”d
2. Espresso Martinis
Tito’s Handmade Vodka Portable, Section 14 – Home Plate, First Level
Perhaps you’re someone who thinks baseball is “Boring.” Or, perhaps, you’re a baseball person who brought a date who doesn’t appreciate the nuance of working a ten-pitch walk. Instead of getting frustrated, get an espresso martini, which not only energizes the baseball-averse but also makes for a highly-instagrammable moment if you take the drink out to the Budweiser bar in left field. You win. Your date wins. The Marlins…..we’ll see.
1. BBQ Brisket Sandwich
The Change Up, Section 1 – Right Field
This isn’t only the best new bite at the ballpark. I’m gonna go ahead and say it’s a top 2-3 brisket sandwich in all of Miami. This smoky number from Berry Farms brings slow-smoked shredded beef and covers it with a sauce that’s just sweet enough for kids to like, and just rich enough to get a raised eyebrow from seasoned barbecue lovers. The sliders are also small enough they make for an ideal game snack, but won’t weigh you down into a 7th-inning food coma. It’s at the Change-Up stand, which as the name implies means the menu ... .changes. So if you see it, grab it.
