In the video, Tanti says although the food was ‘pretty good’, it wasn’t worth the high price of $64.

For this amount, she got just two coffees and two burritos.

Many viewers have taken to the comments and expressed outrage at the staggering amount the food and drink costs.

“Girl I’m more shocked at the combination of the two at a festival,” one person pens.

“They got porta potties do y’all got metal stomachs or what cos omg I’m s****ing just looking!”

Another adds: “That coffee looks like swamp water.”

However, some people have taken to the comments and justified the prices.

One person comments: “Prices are high, but, any of the food I’ve had during any Coachella I’ve been to has been super fresh and delicious! Better than any restaurant!”

Somebody else writes: “Well yeah, camping festival food prices.

“Venues generally take a 33%-40% cut so they have to be high.”
