Favorite Coachella Food Vendors?

crab fries

i'll be staying away from any and all seafood type plates at coachella. i plan on packing a good amount of protein bars

[l3xoh]

The farmer's market is my favorite. Fresh chips and guacamole and agua de fresa to drink. My favorite breakfast/lunch.

Pad Thai Noodles from the hippies made with love. Succulent veggies and the best noodles.

Agreed with both these. Some place had coconut water too - so refreshing when you've been standing in the sun for 6 hours. I've heard the frozen lemonade is to die for - never had it. And the pepinos at the Farmer's Market were a great find. This year I'll be hitting that place up before going into the festival grounds everyday.

Repost? lol. I have to go with garlic crab fries.

[Ha.SK]

i dunno if i can ever eat the garlic fries again. last year, i got them as a snack then i realized two door cinema club was about to go on so we ran to their set. it was still extremely hot at 5 p.m. and we were dancing around and whatnot and after their set, i vomited up the garlic fries. was not fun. definitely a mistake to eat them right before, but i've developed a taste aversion toward them.

I understand about the whole taste aversion. In 09' I had been drinking non stop all day long then became so hungry that I scarfed some garlic fries. An hour later I had the worst headache/stomach ache so I tried to take a nap but that didn't seem to help. Then I puked in a porta potty and spent the rest of my night still with a headache...never again.

Here's a tip newbies: Have spicy pie on Sunday so you don't have a grease rush to the portopotty all weekend.

Oh man, shitting in those in the heat is pretty nasty.

[romanticizer]

I dig vegetarian food out of trucks. I'm hopeful that they will have some good options.

EDIT: The new "puke" posts above have convinced me to just eat granola bars.

[JustSteve]

they have air conditioned trailers in several places. like shitting in a little piece of heaven while surrounded by the heat of hell.

As long as the Kogi taco truck is there, that is the fucking win. I don't care, this shit beats Spicy Pie and Freshers in the pantheon of tasty refreshments at Coachella.

I moved away from LA a few years ago to a place that is devoid of quality Mexican food. I miss Kogi and Tito's so hard.

Grandest wake up in life is the walk from the camping spot to the breakfast burrito stand, followed by a Red on the walk back

I didn't mind it. The johns were surprisingly clean and there was hand sanitizer.

Yea man can't wait for Kogi. And LA has the best Mexican food anywhere outside of Mexico hands down. You definitely need to get your fix when you're down here for the festival

You could always go to the trailers by the Sahara. Those are better than portopotty's but they got nasty later in the day last year

Did anyone go to the Cantina last year, what was it like?

[fatbastard]

Was that the sit down place to the right of the entrance? I seen waffles if I'm not mistaken.

yeah, apparently it was just off one of the entrances, I forgot to check it out, definitely going to this year, maybe for an early morning mimosa and pancakes when the heat wakes me up early as fuq.

Wondering what the pricing was like too...

[mistakenstrangers]

In 2010 there was this shiny steel trailer by the ferris wheel - can't remember the name but goooood stuff there too

This will be my first vegan year at Coachella, anyone know the best vegan food on the fields?

[SepaGroove]

I had a vegan curry rice bowl back in 2010 that was pretty good. I never saw them last year though so I'm not sure if they're still around.

[panda_eater]

They were there last year and the curry rice bowl was delicious. Hopefully they'll be there again this year.

...

I don't think the Shrimp Pimp will be there, unfortunately

[PulpOne]

The freebirds burritos were excellent. Good quality, filling and not too expensive.

And on a side note, LA doesn't have the best mexican food. San Diego does.

[Iamwelting]

I got some guacamole from a truck last year that saved my life. Came with dank chips. Can't remember the name of the truck, but I remember a big cartoon picture of an avocado on it.

[lehorne]

"some terrible vegan shit" sounds decent

[cooperb1]

this yr in the campgrounds there will be a sit down restraunt done by the lime truck for your breakfast and late night needs so for it looks good but in the pat i enjoyed the border grill truck and the smoothes where a good start to the day also spicy pie is good as well the farmers market nothing like fresh fruit first thing in the morning also i liked the baby coconutsand the water inside the coconuts where wonderfull. coachella dose a good job with the food
