We were very happy to fine place. Being from out of state we don't have Basque restaurants in Phoenix. The food was everything we expected and more. Staff was very nice. We look forward to coming back.
My sister and I took my mom here Wednesday last week and we had a fantastic time. The food is excellent and Marcus, the owner's son, made sure each customer is well-attended to. He even let his mom visit our table. The tongue and tomato was a revelation. I will order that whenever I'm there. The oxtail stew was delectable and and so tender - perfection. I'm so glad I came across this establishment. They've been there for 40 years!
This place is great. It was our anniversary and we decided to go out after a year or so not dinning out. It was a great experience. The staff here are very happy, kind and polite. Always checking in on a timely manner. We were well taken care even though they have a full house and a big party just next door. The food was great!! So good and everything arrived in a timely manner as well. It was tasty. They have a full bar as well. One can just ask them to make any type of cocktails and/or drinks one desire! Feel like part of a family eating here! Great experience!
Walking in, the restaurant had that family owned vibe that signaled "this is either going to be terrible, or amazing." Luckily it was the latter. The veal chop was delicious, and the garlic butter mashed potatoes were phenomenal. Very generous portions.
Do not skip any special event here. Their Valentine's day dinner was one of the best dinners I've had in recent memory. We also love the boarder table. The prices are great, the food and service are top notch! Making my Easter reservations now. Do not change a thing Centro Basco.

If you’re looking for an authentic Basque meal with a welcoming touch, Centro Basco is a must-visit.
My family has been coming to this local gem, which is still family owned and operated, for generations. I hadn't been in 23 years, and it was just as good as I remember. The food was just as excellent, and it was quiet, perfect for conversation. We went for lunch and had a wonderful time. We had the chicken parm and the veal cutlet. Both were delicious. Also, if you like beef tongue, you have to try theirs. It's my favorite thing on their menu. Also, the flan was fantastic. It is a bit pricey, but well worth the value, trust me.
Very good food. I highly recommend lamb chops dinner. Excellent service waiter very friendly. plates are large, so come hungry Will definitely be back
Had our company Christmas party again as last year! And it was amazing more than expected food was good the drinks were awesome and the service is like if you’re at home! Thanks Bernadette and to the team!
This restaurant made our anniversary truly special. After a long time of not eating out, we decided to celebrate here and it turned out to be a wonderful choice. The team was cheerful, welcoming, and very respectful, which created a warm and pleasant atmosphere. The food tasted amazing and everything was served promptly. Each dish was full of flavor and clearly prepared with care.
