Best Local Ethnic Market
The Basque Market
Readers' Picks
When Boise's Basque transplants are looking to whip up a meal just like ama used to make, they swing by The Basque Market for hard-to-find Spanish imports like Picuezo whole red piquillo peppers, Serpis anchovy-stuffed green olives, Piment d'Espelette and Gutierrez Colosia Vinagre de Jerez. And those who need a Basque food fix but are in a pinch for time stop by to load their plates with piles of pre-made pintxos. 608 W. Grove St., Boise, 208-433-1208, thebasquemarket.com
