Bunz Handcrafted Burgers' second location is now open.
Chef-driven burger joint Bunz Handcrafted Burgers quietly expanded its San Antonio footprint with a second location earlier this week, this one dubbed Bunz Express.

The company marked the occasion with a social media announcement featuring local influencer Chris Flores, also known as eatmigos.

The new shop, located at 6819 N. Loop 1604 W., officially opened Monday, April 24, according to a collaborative Instagram post in which Flores samples several burgers, chicken sandwiches and milkshakes made from scratch at the La Cantera-area shop.
The mini-empire got its start in 2020 via a brick and mortar location downtown, inside a long-vacant deli space on Houston street. Helmed by local chef-owner Thierry Burkle, Bunz menu items feature a painstakingly developed ground meat blend and unexpected topping options such as Boursin cheese, pear and chipotle mayo.

Burkle also owns The Grill at Leon Springs, which was in the news earlier this week as details regarding its reconstruction emerged.

Bunz Express is open daily 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
