Villa Basque Cafe and Deli

Chorizo is the thread running through Villa Basque Cafe and Deli. Pete and Martha Coscarart's Carson City business serves it at breakfast and lunch, and sells it for customers to take home.

The family recipe's commercial history began in Battle Mountain in 1984. That date belongs to the chorizo business, rather than the opening of the present cafe. Pete's background as a sheepherder and the couple's ownership were independently documented by the Nevada Appeal.

Basque roots, several kinds of cooking

The cafe brings Basque, Mexican and American dishes together. Its menu includes paella, a Basque burrito, chili and breakfast plates with eggs. The sheep herder burger combines beef and chorizo in its patties, carrying the house specialty into another form.

The chorizo uses pork, garlic and paprika and is naturally air dried. Customers can purchase links and rolls, with fresh and frozen options described by the business. The deli gives people a way to bring the same ingredient into their own kitchens.

A corner in Carson City

Villa Basque is at 730 Basque Way, at Roop Street and Hot Springs Road. The address places the family business on a street whose name fits its culinary focus.

The kitchen's published schedule is Tuesday through Saturday, beginning at 6 a.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m. The shop remains open later, until 4 p.m., according to the business website. Those separate hours matter for someone seeking a cooked meal versus a deli purchase.

A direct email and local phone number are available for questions about the cafe and its products. The current menu and shop contacts provide the starting point for breakfast, lunch or an order of chorizo to take away.
