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.

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.

What a good breakfast we had. I had the French toast with butter, syrup, and grape jelly, so delicious and airy and fluffy too. The eggs and bacon were good too. Good service there and friendly staff as well. Good job you all.

Family trip to stay in Reno, and we tried a couple of restaurants felt underwhelming, not impressed but we hit this gem on our way back home! Clean and friendly service. We found our breakfast/ lunch spot. Reasonable prices for the quality of food for sure! I had the sierra omelette, tried this meal since they were known for chorizo it hit every expectation. We will be returning.

Had the chicken fried steak and the chile relleno + chorizo taco plate. Big portions and everything was delicious! The gravy was different but sooo good! Maybe it has a bit of cheese in it? Excellent, friendly customer service!

I had the BBQ chorizo sandwich no bun with fries. The fries were perfectly crispy. The chorizo was ok. My husband had the chorizo quesadilla and said it was ok but heavy on the onion and pepper. Very good service.

Some of the BEST breakfast you can get anywhere in Carson City or really, anywhere in area can be found right here! Obviously, Basque is what they do best and their chorizo is simply awesome and not greasy like a traditional Mexican chorizo can be but they do offer plenty of other outstanding dishes as well. My personal favorite is their massive Basque Breakfast Burritos which come filled with eggs, chorizo and potato and I always get it with jalapenos and of course, their simply to die for chorizo gravy. My wife always likes to get their Breakfast Quesadilla but I’d be lying if I said that both of us also enjoy many of their other dishes including their Spanish Chicken Omelette and Enchilada Omelette. I should note that seating is first come first serve and you can help yourself to any table you see open and I have always found the service here to be friendly and fast and my coffee always topped off. Keeping things real, the atmosphere may be the only thing that is a little lacking and that is the reason for my 4 stars there. Overall, it’s fine but the decor is practical and simple and lighting may be a bit too bright and that gives it kind of a cafeteria feel. There is a front part to the restaurant that is cozier though if that’s what you prefer. One thing you do need to be aware of is that they are closed on Sunday and Monday and parking in their immediate parking lot is somewhat limited but there is plenty more near by. Be sure to check their specials as when they have them, they are typically super delicious and worth trying. Need I say, this is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants and one that I bring all my out of town friends to and let me tell you, they all LOVE it just as much as I do!
