This was a good café. Lots of tables and food options on the menu. My boys' omelet portions were huge and delicious. My hubby and I shared the homemade corned beef and eggs which was unfortunately a smaller dish, but tasted good. The service was attentive and friendly. We bought a ton of tamales and chorizo to go...looking forward to trying them. I do recommend.
Tried Villa Basque for the first time. We went for lunch during the week and the place was relatively quiet. First thing I noticed was the interior was reminiscent of an old time deli. Not what I was expecting for a sit down cafe with table service. The server was efficient and had a pleasant personality. We ordered lamb stew and a rueben sandwich. The lamb stew was a bit of a disappointment. The potatoes had a powdery texture and the lamb meat was dry. The rueben tasted great but was lacking in the amount of meat. The unexpected surprise was the blue cheese dressing on the side salad. It had was one of the best we have tasted. Overall a pleasant experience.
Very nice Café. Friendly people, that make you feel like they are cooking for you in your own home. I found this place on a google maps search. Great food and reasonable prices. A hidden gem given the quality of food, uniqueness of the Basque menu, and excellent service. We will return often when we are in town
First time eating at Villa Basque Cafe. Stopped in for lunch and ordered the Vaquero. I added an extra tamale to the order. The extra tamale came with extra fixings on it which was a little unexpected. Made it difficult to finish all my food. My friend ordered the quesadilla. The food was delicious and I see why the chorizo is so famous. Perfect flavor and not greasy at all. I can't wait to come back for another visit. The seating was a little tight, but the food was delicious.
The service was amazing. Everything was done very fast. They were very attentive, they had fresh squeezed orange, carrot & grapefruit juice that was so delicious. The food was prepared in a different style than Mexican, but it was delicious as well. I got the chorizo egg and potato tostada, and my husband got an Omelette. He didn't know it was smothered in red sauce, but I thought the red sauce was really good. He didn't mind it
