Build-your-own burritos in Terminal T without defaulting to chains
Blue Coast Burrito in Terminal T gives LIT a regional fast-casual Mexican option instead of the usual national names. It sits on the main concourse post-security, so you can grab food after clearing the single checkpoint. Pricing lands in the mid-range ($$): expect a burrito, tacos, or a bowl plus a drink to run roughly into the low-teens once you add extras.
Ordering works Chipotle-style: staff build your burrito, tacos, or bowl on the line while you pick fillings one by one. Reviews call out fresh ingredients and bigger portions than typical airport fast food at similar prices. Guacamole and queso sit as add-ons, and several travelers mention paying extra for at least one of those to bump up flavor and richness.
Regulars say the burrito bowl is the move if you plan to eat at the gate, since it’s easier to handle on a small side table or your lap. A few frequent flyers mention asking for light rice and extra veggies so it doesn’t feel like a brick before a two- or three-hour flight. One Google review specifically praised a fresh burrito bowl as better than their usual airport grab-and-go.
Watch out for the line during banked departures; when three or four people ahead of you all build custom orders, service slows and you can wait 10–15 minutes. Some reviews note certain toppings or salsas running out later in the day, particularly after the mid-afternoon rush. Staff usually stay friendly, but options may narrow if you show up close to the last evening departures.
Tip: if your connection at LIT is under 40 minutes, skip the full burrito and order a bowl without extra rice so you can eat quickly and walk straight back to your gate in Terminal T.
