Bunz in La Quinta
Thursday | 18 January 2007 | Indio, California:
After recovering from our morning of work and exercise, we went to try a new
burger joint in La Quinta. Bunz was opened by a young girl who is a
full-time college student. Can you even imagine this? Jaclyn Peña was born
and raised in the food industry and her dad was once the La Quinta mayor. We
heard Bunz burgers were the best in the Coachella Valley, so we wanted to
give them a try.

Bunz Menu
Jaclyn wanted to serve a "country club quality burger in a
fast-food environment". She has succeeded. Bunz has excellent and huge
burgers and traditional sides - fries, onion rings, salad. Burgers are made
with 1/2 pound of Certified Angus Beef. Huge! The most popular burger is the
Baja Bunz, topped with cilantro, green onions, green chilies and pepper-jack
cheese. The Baja Bunz is served on a jalapeno bun. It was perfectly spiced -
hot, but not overly so. We also tried a Basic Bunz with cheese on a jalapeno
bun. Both burgers were really very delicious, not too expensive and arrived
promptly. Bunz also serves breakfast all day - cinnamon bunz, oatmeal,
cinnamon swirl French toast, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, and
quesadillas. They are famous for their Breakfast Burrito - eggs, shredded
beef, hash browns, pepper-jack cheese, chilies and onions rolled into a very
stuffed tortilla. That will be our next field trip! The restaurant is open
from 6 am to 3 pm only. Lines form.
