Pete’s Famous Chorizo

 

Visit or Contact Us

The chorizo originated in 1984 in Battle Mountain, Nevada with a family recipe that was passed down from generation to generation. Chorizo is traditionally from the Basque region, a small region that straddles the border of Spain and France, from the sea in the west to the Pyrenees in the east.

The Basque people use Chorizo in Paellas, which is a traditional dish in Spain, stews, chili beans, and sandwiches and even scrambled with eggs for breakfast. It is usually fried or grilled.

Pete’s Famous Chorizo is naturally air dried and made from 100% pork meat, and flavored with garlic, paprika and other spices.

My favorite here is the shepherders delight. A chorizo sandwich with peppers and onions. So flavorful and juicy you need no condiments. Last time i got one with a salad. Salad is typical but the sandwhich is extraordinary. They do catering as well. Ive had the lamb stew which is flavorful and leaves you wanting more. Plenty of seating with a small store attached. Frozen chorizo, teas, & oils.

What an amazing gem in the Carson City area. Huge menu with something for everyone. The food is delicious and well made. Came out hot, which is a thing for me. The salad was delicious according to my wife, and we left with some Chorizo for future use. They have tons of food to buy to take home on top of the huge menu. Villa Basque Café will be on regular rotation for us! Check them out., you’ll love them too!

We were in Carson City and wanted to get some lunch. We have been here several times before and decided instead of trying something new to come back here for the Basque burrito. It was about 12:30pm on a Saturday.

We walked in and the the place was about a third filled. We chose a table by the window and had a seat. There were already menus on the table and someone came over in a few moments to take our drink orders. They brought our drinks and asked for our food order. My wife spoke for both of us – we knew exactly what we wanted – two Basque burritos with gravy inside and out.

The burritos were delivered quicker than we anticipated and looked as delicious as ever! If you haven’t been here before – we highly recommend. We are confident their other menu items are just as good but we’ve never ordered anything else!

Delicious – the total bill with tip was about $36. *Tip – they sell their chorizo and other items as well.
