Coachella doubles down on vegan options
Coachella 2026’s food lineup got rave notices for expanded vegan offerings and specialty cocktails, plus a ‘Bad Bunny‑approved’ taco that’s generating buzz among festival foodies (pressenterprise.com). The festival is leaning into plant‑forward stalls and regionally inspired drinks — good intel if you’re planning a food‑forward road trip to the valley (pressenterprise.com).
Coachella’s 2026 food program lists more than 100 restaurants, bars and pop‑ups across the grounds and runs April 10–12 and April 17–19, 2026. (timeout.com) Goldenvoice’s vendor map names more than a dozen explicitly vegan or vegan‑forward operations, including Cena Vegan, GoKoku, Maciel’s Plant‑Based Butcher, Maneatingplant and Sweetfin, deployed across Sonora, Street Food Alley and the Indio Central Market. (vegnews.com) Forever Pie is back on the roster with plant‑based pizzas, while Cena Vegan is running a branded “Taco Party” menu of vegan takes on familiar chain classics at festival sites. (travel.yahoo.com) Villa’s Tacos — a shop noted in press coverage as a Bad Bunny favorite — is serving griddled queso tacos in the Indio Central Market, a menu item singled out in local guides as a crowd magnet.
