Container Platz

San José


In this innovative gastronomic experiment, 20 mini-businesses representing Latin American and world flavors have sprung to life in brightly painted shipping containers in Santa Ana. It earns high marks for innovation and reasonably priced, artisanal fast food, with everything from a circus-themed nacho place to a churros factory and a 'hummuseria' that serves its house-made hummus with delectable pita triangles.

Communal picnic tables foster a sense of camaraderie, as does the craft-beer container and play area for kiddies. Hours vary slightly by business.
