Plant Power Fast Food is a fast food establishment that servers 100% plant-based burgers, fries, and shakes. I came here with my girlfriend on a Sunday afternoon. We don't have this place where I'm from, so we thought we could try it out as we explored the LA area.
I got myself the California Burrito with a side salsa ($11), the Iconic Fries ($6.80), and the Strawberry Sundae ($6).
California Burrito (5/5) - One of the handheld items you can get here. It contains 'carne asada' made from pea protein, 'cheese', diced tomatoes, guacamole, and a house made aioli. There appears to also be fries in my burrito. The green sauce paired with it is bright and packed with strong tomatillo flavor. I am impressed by how every ingredient complemented each other. The aioli provides a rich garlic profile to cut down on the 'carne asada' meat, and the guac and fries tasted fresh. Satisfying bites all the way through. Great protein option.
Iconic Fries (5/5) - If you are familiar with In-N-Out Animal Style Fries, this is the vegan version of that. And somehow, it is even better, too. I honestly didn't think those animal style fries could be topped, but here we are! The biggest difference is the fries. They are double-fried not like the ones at In-N-Out, so they have that beautifully crispy exterior and fluffy interior. The American 'cheese', grilled onions, and secret sauce pair so well together, in a much tighter and more succinct manner than its non-vegan competition. The portion size is plentiful, and can be quite filling even as a side option. A must get!
Strawberry Sundae (5/5) - The base is made with oat milk and the strawberry sauce uses real strawberries. The texture is very smooth and thick, and the taste is appropriately sweet. The person serving my sundae took pride in preparing it and even hand-delivered it to me as we were waiting by the table. This sundae is simple, but exceptional. Simply exceptional!
Additional comments: great parking, clean interior, clean bathrooms, and self-serve kiosks.
In a way, Plant Power Fast Food is almost doing themselves a disservice calling themselves "Fast Food". They have essentially taken the best aspects of conventional fast food establishments with the quick service, the timed menus, and the interior design. But their food quality and customer service is so mindblowing that I want to recommend this place to anyone who is looking for good food at the Hollywood district.
