Basico Bistro Cafe

Editing my 2 star review from 3 years ago. I have come to Basico for close to a decade. Unfortunately 3-4 years ago it went downhill fast. Lately, for the last year or so we have had nothing but the best experience thanks to Jorge. It is great to see they are making a comeback, and awesome to see how much impact 1 single motivated person can make. Hope to see him move up the ranks as he deserves. Will be returning more often.

We ordered the fish tacos and the bacon brie burger. Both of them 10 out of 10! The spinach and crab dip was an appetizer, and it did not disappoint. If cleanliness and outstanding service are also important, then you must come here. Diego was our server, and he was amazing. Try it!

The food was cold, unseasoned and definitely not as expected. Ordered green chilaquiles at 12 noon and they were out of Chile verde and could only accommodate rojo, we were given a small discount for the inconvenience but I wish I would have changed my order instead. The sauce was unseasoned and didn’t have any taste, no spicy salt or any flavor at all. Specified fried egg several times and got a runny egg when my cold order came out. The tacos were okay but the tortillas were cold and the taco fell apart when picking it up, had to use a fork to eat the meat. They definitely need some new chefs or kitchen staff.

We ordered potstickers for appetizer, the bacon and brie burger with Mac n cheese, and the Baja fish tacos. We had a good experience, enjoyed the food and plan to come during brunch hours. It is a smaller restaurant located inside a corner of the Coronado tower. Parking might be hard to find but is free. We had a latte after dinner and really enjoyed it. Everything was worth the try! Updated review: we went for breakfast! We ordered the migas (eggs on hasbrowns), chilaquiles, croissants, cappuccinos and lattes. The food was very filling but I would not order the croissants again, the butter was hard and the jam did not taste very good.

It was a delicious lunch, very generous chicken portion, and veggies were at point served with a sauvory vinaigrette (on the side). The place was comfortable, very few people. Service was excellent, waitress very attentive and provided what we needed. Time to have food ready was reasonable.

It's small but good food and drinks. Def a nice little brunch spot. Server gave us complimentary coffees that were a nice pick me up, we had our toddlers with us so we appreciated that a lot.

The fish and chips were delicious battered to perfection not too thick just crispy enough. Server with just the right amount of fries. The fish tacos were also good, but could've used more sauce. Overall a great place.

🍔🍕🌮🍉🍱🍖🍗🥓🥩🥯🥖🍝🍤 Local restaurant review from your local RESTAURANT FOOD MARKETER 🍗🥓🥩🥯🥖🍝🍤 Restaurant Review for Basico Bistro on Mesa, next to Taco Bell Atmosphere: The restaurant has great ambience, nice lounge music is always on which is great to have your meeting and enjoy your lunch. Btw they patio is also very cool now that the weather is getting warmer Food: Gotta tell you their appetizers are awesome, specially for the wings. We were just there for a meeting and had the classic Buffalo and BBQ, they were thick, juicy and tasty, they were bone in. Truffle fries are a must have. Also don’t forget Fish and Chips as your meal, they never fail and have great flavor! Services: Our waitress and the owner greeted us right when we got there. Service was just on point. Always helping with refills and checking often on our table. I highly recommend Basico, food is great and also for their cocktails!
