Can you eat anything at Angels Stadium
The last time I was at Angels Stadium (years ago), the only food choices were (god forbid) along the lines of Taco Bell and Der Weinershnitzel. Are the choices any better in 2009? If so are they located in specific places in the ballpark. Thanks ahead of time !!!

Per above replies, we didn't find anything interesting at the park this year either, so on our recent Sunday day-game visit we drove 20 min west to an interesting place, the Park Ave in Stanton. Good, good value, & hat tip to Elmomonster for the review. Next visits will try Luigi's and The Catch, when it reopens.

Best bet is to swing through the drive through at Portillo's in Buena Park ahead of time and just buy your drinks at the game. They don't mind if you bring food in.

I've never heard of Portillo's but after looking at their website, I think I'll give them a try next time I'm in the area. The place's 30's prohibition theme looks like a lot of fun.
As for good food at Angel's stadium, haven't had any and probably won't- ever. I just can't willingly pay for food that is grossly overpriced. Although I'm ashamed to say that last time I was there I gave in and bought a $5 bag of popcorn. I'll go ahead and say what you're thinking: I'm cheap.

I'm thinking you are smart, not cheap. We bring our own food most of the time, including water and some trader Joe's peeled peanuts, and then unless the game gets out late, we go to Joe's in GG for ice cream or italian ice. It allows us better seats or the opporunity to go to more games.
It's a real shame that it has to be that way, but I can't justify in my mind paying those prices for generally mediocre food...and that's not just a knock on Angels Stadium, but most sports venues.

Beach Pit BBQ is decent enough. The hot dogs are indeed Der Weinershnitzel, but that's an improvement over the last 4-5 years, when they were Farmer John. And finally, there's a place to get Gulden's mustard for your dogs, not just silly yellow stuff. It is at the condiment station right near the Beach Pit located on the Field level, first base line.
If you have time, you're a lot better off picking up some takeout nearby. They let you bring outside food into the stadium. Fresca's, across the street from the stadium, makes good burritos. There's a little place that makes pretty good teriyaki chicken and beef bowls, the name of which I forget, located at the corner of Ball Rd. and State College. It's inexpensive and surprisingly good. I think the name is something like "Teriyaki Kings," but don't quote me on that.

Super Teriyaki Bowl. In the same plaza is a Greek deli, a mediocre pho shop, an OK Mexican fruit shop, a Pizza Hut and a Turkish kabobery.

Mostly chain stuff, though Beach Pit BBQ is kind of sort of OK (the real branches are better than the Angel Stadium branches). The better food is on the 100's/200's levels. As you get higher the food quality goes down big-time. The Chili Pepper in the 1st and 3rd base courtyards are OK too.
And if all else fails, Arte Moreno may have renamed the team but at least he lowered the beer prices -- bad food is more palatable when you're drunk. :-P
