    Absolutely OUTSTANDING FOOD! Please do yourself a favor and come and check this out! The menu changes weekly and it's posted online so you can look ahead at the choices. My favorite thing about Chef Jeshua is that his menu is always changing. He is absolutely incredibly talented with his food and the flavors and combinations are divine. Coming to the valley from NYC, I've found it difficult to find many good spots that don't serve the same old things. When I came across an article about him and his food, I knew that not only would I have to try it, but that I needed to alert my foodie friends. This food is the real deal and VERY special. I tried the falafel and LOVED it. Especially the level of heat. So good!

    Oh my yum!! My drive out to the town of Coachella and in particular their food truck park that's open on Sunday's was absolutely worth it. I wish I could convey the amazing aroma of it all ... deliciousness!! The Kuma Catering cart held my attention, and I opted for a super tasty and unusual grilled cheese. Full disclosure... I ordered two actually. I couldn't make up my mind which to get and figured this way I could have half of two and save the other two halves for dinner or lunch tomorrow. My two halves were: 1. Bacon, honey crisp apple, caramelized onions, sharp cheddar, all grilled to absolute tasty perfection on rustic sourdough; 2. Lamb fennel sausage, peppers and onions, mozzarella, basil, also cooked to deliciousness in rustic sourdough. A giant shout out to Jeshua "Kuma" Garza, for his creative mastery on making what could otherwise be a basic grilled cheese into a gastronomic delight. Bravo!

    I gotta say, I have been an out of town fan of Coachella Valley Brewing for a while, and now seeing what Chef Garza has brought to the proverbial table, this place is going to the next level fast. The menu on the day we visited has some great options such the chicken sandwich, burgers and the amazing fries. Pretty straight forward bar food right? Yes and No. Chef Garza elevated the offerings with aspects such as fried rosemary and curry aioli with the fries. The chicken sandwich was a home run with chicken that was amazingly tender and a slaw mixture that balanced the sandwich perfectly. But you may be asking...these are all pretty solid 4 star results? Yep, that coveted fifth star was tacked on there by getting to watch the owner operator work the room making sure people were enjoying the food and by the way he interacted with myself and my 9year old daughter. Most young children are a hindrance at best in a brewery tasting room, I will admit. But my kiddo I will admit is pretty accustomed to these types of surroundings.Well she flagged down Chef Garza to place an order before I knew we were even hungry :). Chef Garza addressed my daughter directly, answered her questions politely and honestly and even brought forth a few suggestions catering to her (see what I did there) as a kid, such as cutting the sandwich in half and bringing ketchup in case she wasn't a fan of curry. A 5 star experience all around and I am now looking forward more than ever at getting back here. Cheers!

    This is the Ramen Dog featured on this week's menu. Definitely not your typical, boring dog. This was great.

    What a great concept. After reading about Kuma for a couple of weeks, we finally gave it a try. This week's menu was all about hot dogs. I'm not talking about your boring style dogs though. My wife ordered the Shawarma Dog and I got a Ramen Dog. Each was cooked to perfection and had a unique and awesome flavor profile. We are looking forward to future menus and will definitely be returning.

    You never quite know when Kuma will appear but when they do, you better bring your appetite (and your cash)! Chef Jeshua is the master of blending fresh ingredients and amazing flavors in a unique way. Follow on Instagram to see their upcoming menu and schedule. You won't want to miss it.

Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Got it with cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. Top notch. Soup and sandwich were both excellent. I went with the Club. Solid. Daughter also grabbed the strawberry shortcake. This was just ok. Service was good and pricing is fair. They have the same stuff as the larger Palm Springs location. Small parking lot. Bakery counter. Good stuff.

Massive parking lot with tons of parking, we checked out menus at 5 or 6 near by spots and saw a worker from near eating from here. Simple straight forward mom and pop type shop. Typically, a place a would not get pastrami, asked the waiter and he said it was his favorite. Ok, now Im gonna have to try it. Mixed it up and did it Rueben style with house chips. Seriously one of the BEST pastrami sandwiches I have had. My wife had some and thought the same and my mom tried it and she was amazed. This lil spot knows how to make pastrami. and the House chips were pretty over the top too. 122 mile drive for us but might have to venture back for a great pastrami sandwich. Moms salad was also good, massive and we share it and still didnt finish it. Young lady came in and remembered this crew from way back too and that was cool to see. Lots of TVs, good amount of seating and great service. If your out for an event or lucky enough to be a local this spot is worth checking out and if you love pastrami its a MUST.
