You’ve likely seen TikTok videos about the food at Coachella by now, with most of them highlighting how pricey the meals can be. And, I can definitely concur that the snacks cost a pretty penny. However, as an attendee of both RevolveFest (pretty much an influencer and celebrity hotspot where the food is complimentary) and the main festival, I will defend the fact that although the prices skyrocket, there are some pretty delicious eats available.
The California-based music fest serves up everything you can imagine: cocktails (showcasing brands like Aperol and Absolut Vodka), desserts like ice cream and Italian ice, pizza, sushi, burgers, barbecue, sandwiches, ramen, hot dogs, poke, tacos, — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The vendors range from historic Los Angeles-based restaurants (hi, Irv’s Burgers and Sweetfin) to nationwide household names, such as Dave’s Hot Chicken.
If you’re planning on watching the performances from the comfort of your own couch, then you can actually get the festival food right at home, too. Keep scrolling to see exactly what my friends and I munched on this Coachella season, and how you can recreate the recipe at home with just a few ingredients.
El Pollo Loco Chicken Tenders
The fast food chain has recently been testing its chicken tenders, which are seasoned with Mexican spices, and I loved how flavorful they were. Make a version of them yourself with Tyson’s All Natural Crispy Chicken Strips (if you’re trying to avoid making them from scratch), some chili powder, and your favorite mayonnaise-based sauce.
Kogi BBQ Tacos
We stopped by this taco truck, founded by Korean-American celebrity chef Roy Choi, for some spicy pork tacos. Grab some pork, tortillas, shredded lettuce, and a Korean-inspired barbecue sauce to recreate this mouth-watering meal. Or, go completely homemade with this tasty recipe.
How Ya Dough’n Pizza
Revolve’s festival offered gourmet pizza from How Ya Dough’n, while the Coachella field presented popular East Coast hotspots like Prince St. Pizza. No matter which way you slice it, pepperoni pizza was on the menu. Pick up pizza dough, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni on the way home to replicate this meal for yourself.
Irv’s Burgers Cheeseburger
Okay, so a cheeseburger and fries isn’t groundbreaking, but it sure makes for an appetizing meal (especially when you’ve been scorching in the sun all day watching to see your favorite artists, without much food!). Stock your fridge with ground beef, sliced American cheese, and hamburger buns to recreate this all-American classic.
