Cargo Snack Shack is an absolute gem! The food is fantastic, but I was especially impressed by their thoughtful and delicious vegetarian-friendly options—it's so refreshing to find a spot that offers such flavorful plant-based choices. The amazing outdoor ambiance makes it the perfect place to kick back, relax, and enjoy the weather. On top of the great setting, the staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. Pair all of this with their excellent selection of alcoholic drinks, and you have the recipe for a perfect outing. Highly recommend!

Don't let the name fool you this shack knows how to make a hamburger/cheese burger. In summary as my daughter said 10 stars out of 5! The Cargo Snack Shack is located at the Los Angeles State Historic Park ( historic )not because it was a rail road junk yard for decades but because it was the site of Yaanga for millenia.

Excellent food with great vibes, connected to LA State Historic Park. Prices are reasonable, and I ordered the classic Cargo burger (American cheese, lettuce tomato onions pickles cargo sauce, $12) and the PB shake ($8). The burger came with ample house made potato chips. As a fan of peanut butter, I knew I couldn’t go wrong with that dessert! Enjoyed the ambiance and would likely go back again.
