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!

Centro Basco is a family-owned gem that brings the flavors of the Basque Country, nestled between France and Spain, right to Chino. You’ll find comforting classics like Veal Cutlet and their signature Tongue and Tomatoes, alongside Poulet Basque and tender lamb chops.
What truly sets it apart is the warm, timeless atmosphere and genuine hospitality that make every visit feel like coming home. If you’re looking for an authentic Basque meal with a welcoming touch, Centro Basco is a must-visit.

Had the best Mother’s Day dinner here last night. The food is amazing and staff is fantastic. Every time I come here, I don’t want to leave. Do yourself a favor and follow them on Instagram for specials and try the border table. Chef’s kiss to Centro Basco.

Centro Basco has been a family stable of mine for 45 years. This restaurant has been home to many special events in my life and in my families. They have hosted many parties, dinners, birthdays, baptisms, and events for us. The food and atmosphere is 2nd to none. This place is a chino stable and theres a reason why so many successful business people and lawyers from the area come here. The vibe is excellent and the owner Bernadette really cares about her customers.

1.A fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The service was attentive and friendly, and the staff had great knowledge of the menu and wine list. The food was a revelation—each dish was bursting with flavor. The escargots were a must-try, and the crème brûlée was a perfect way to end the meal. The atmosphere was charming and refined, with elegant French décor and a cozy, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend for any French food lover!

Wow! Our new favorite restaurant in SoCal. Everything was delicious and made fresh. The desserts were better than 5 star! We don't even like split pea soup and we couldn't get enough. Centro Basco's food is amazing! Major plus, they are so welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to come back.
Parking: Beautiful property with plenty of parking.
I was not impressed ? I didn't like the food or the ambience alot of old people. The soup with beans was very weird. This seems like the place Gordon Ramsey needs to pay a visit to and give a makeover.

Centro Basco has always been a staple of my family's gatherings and a highlight of our reunions. The food is comforting and delicious, the restaurant itself is decorated with beautiful paintings and cultural memorabilia, but the best part is the people. Centro Basco is a family business in more than one sense of the word. It's family run, but it's also family oriented. Its a place where people can come together, break bread, be with each other, and get great service all the while. My family has come for long enough that we all know the owners, and they're wonderful people. I'd recommend this place to anybody, especially anyone looking for good Basque food and good company. Txin txin baby!

This place has delicious food but for my entire meal it was about a 1 hour and 10 minutes wait. I wasn’t in a rush but I hope they would have speed things up. I like how they will serve the side dishes in a family style if there was many people in your party. I ordered the shrimp scampi and the half and half wings. The wings looked over cooked but it was crispy and very juicy inside and nicely seasoned. I was surprised that the noodles for the shrimp scampi was not spaghetti but it was like a twisted egg noodle. But it was still very good. The inside of the restaurant gave an office style vibe to it but it was well decorated with a huge pretty painting.
