Pita Jungle is a chain in the Phoenix area that was started by three Arizona St. students. There is a Pita Jungle in Newport Beach, CA. They are planning to expand to other California cities.
This Pita Jungle location is huge, with about 30 tables in the restaurant. The shopping center is a busy center with a Pei Wei, Starbucks, and other eateries.
Black bean burger, $8.69-homemade black bean patty formed with chipotle, jalapeno and bell peppers, carrots, corn, oats, garlic, onions, cilantro, cranberries, on a bun with chipotle hummus, baby arugula, hothouse tomatoes, red onions, sunflower sprouts with a side of lemon-cilantro mixed beans.
This was a very good burger. The first thing I noticed was this burger fell apart. Now some people may think that is a bad thing, but making a black bean burger it is a good thing. Why? Because you know it is made fresh and not a pre-made frozen burger. While the burger patty fell apart, it was very flavorful, bold flavors from the chipotle hummus. I did think the burger needed some ketchup or even a thousand island dressing, but overall a very good burger.
Service was very good, despite being very busy that night. The server was very nice and prompt.
I would go back to Pita Jungle anytime! Hopefully they will open more locations in California!
