Another Peasant Plate Combo at Blue Coast Burrito in Florence AL

My last Peasant Plate was so good I had to go back for another one. Florence AL doesn't have many places to eat vegan food. Blue Coast Burrito is the most convenient place to eat your veggies. It's on Hwy 72 just east of town, beside Five Guys.

Peasant Plate Combo at Blue Coast Burrito in Florence AL

Based on my previous enjoyable visits, I returned to Blue Coast Burrito in Florence AL. This time I ordered the Peasant Plate and made it a combo to receive the chips and drink. I helped myself to the salsa bar. This meal was as good as expected.

The Peasant Plate is basically beans and rice with guacamole salad. This is the cheaper meal because there is no option for a meat. Blue Coast Burrito lets you choose your favorite items to go on top. What you see is black beans, Mexican rice, and guacomole salad made with leaf lettuce, green onions, jalapeno peppers, pico de gallo, and guacamole. I forgot which salsas I chose. It doesn't matter. They're all great!

I did find some tiny pieces of cheese on the lettuce. I removed the offensive contaminant and the lettuce on which it was found. Other than that, this meal was great. The ingredients tasted fresh. The seasoning was acceptable. The beans did have a slightly sweeter flavor this time. This tasted like real food. Again, I am a mostly happy customer and intend to return some time in the future.

Another Visit to Blue Coast Burrito in Florence AL

I was in Florence AL and chose to make another stop for lunch at Blue Coast Burrito. I had a Veggie Burrito and made it a combo with chips, salsa, and a drink. This is a good plant-based meal!

This time the restaurant was very crowded. Church had just let out and Blue Coast Burrito was filled with well-dressed, well-behaved groups of friendly people. I was able to confirm that the rice is vegan. I figured it was, but some places use butter. This was a great meal. The burrito was large and delicious, the salsa was excellent, and I received a generous amount of chips. The restaurant was clean and free of flies. Florence AL is a vegan desert, but this place is a small oasis with at least 3 vegan meal options. This was a good visit!

Vegan Nachos at Blue Coast Burrito in Florence AL

I ordered nachos at Blue Coast Burrito in Florence, AL and grabbed some salsa from the salsa bar. This meal was very good. There's several salsas from which to choose, and all are very good. My favorites were the salsa verde and pineapple salsa. The nachos would normally include queso, but I easily made a vegan meal with fresh veggie options. This place lets customers choose the toppings, so I just got my usual favorites with extra cilantro. This meal was a bit more expensive than other similar places, but it was good enough to make it worth the price.

Blue Coast Burrito has a nice southern California surf shack environment. The decor features surf boards, weathered wood, and a third of a rusted Volkswagen Beetle mounted on the wall. During this visit I noticed an abundance of flies, and it was a bit warm, just like eating at a real beach shack. I would prefer a less authentic experience without the flies. The person who took my order and made the nachos didn't really know about the ingredients or preparation of the food. There's probably other vegan toppings there, but I couldn't get much information from them. I did find a couple pieces of cheese on the tomatoes. That's nasty, but it was easy enough to remove the offensive contaminant without ruining the meal.

 

Since this visit was mostly positive and the food tasted very good, I will most likely go back again when I'm in Florence.
