Chula Artisan Eatery opens in La Quinta

Chula Artisan Eatery is the newest restaurant to open its doors in La Quinta.

Katherine Gonzalez is the owner and chef behind the brand new spot. She wanted to open this restaurant and focus on fresh local food.

“When we put the menu together, I just wanted it to be simple, good food, that’s really well put together on the plate. So presentation is important,” Gonzalez said.

She said she has her mom to thank for many of her recipes.

“A lot of the things on the menu are things I learned to make from my mom. My mom was really good in the kitchen; she was one of 14 kids so they had to make a lot of food in a short amount of time,” Gonzalez said.

Chula also offers grab-and-go options and some delicious baked goods.

“I felt no meal is complete without coffee and my local pastry chef is a local and she’s awesome,” Gonzalez said.

The restaurant is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
