Carts By The Park

11 Lively, Kid-Friendly Spots in Vancouver

"Carts by the Park in downtown Ridgefield — steps away from Overlook Park — offers a bit of something for everyone, as well outdoor space to move around. Vancouver favorite Little Conejo has a food truck that serves quesbirria burritos and a variety of tacos using Three Sisters corn tortillas; kids will love the cart’s bean-and-cheese burritos or the cheese quesadilla. Chopped contestant and pitmaster Lynnae Oxley-Loupe smokes tender brisket and pulled pork at her truck Sugars Barbecue; tykes who may be daunted by a pile of meat can snack on queso mac and cheese or dunk hush puppies in pepper jelly. Sushi Kato offers sushi rolls, bowls with toppings like tuna poke, and sushi burritos; California rolls and tempura shrimp may be more kid-friendly for those three-year-olds who aren’t dunking full maki in tobiko. Drinks by the Park serves coffee and adult beverages, and during the summer, father and daughter business Chill 360 sell ice cream out of a classic Cushman Trickster." - Rachel Pinsky
