When the building that was once home to Fired Pie on Congress Street became available, Freddy ElMesselmani and Jeff Baker knew what they had to do: travel to Spain.
The pair, who own Urban Pita across the street, had been toying with the idea of transforming the spot into a tapas restaurant, serving up pintxos like the ones seen in the Basque country.
Baker, ElMesselmani and their chef Joel Suire traveled to Spain for research, testing out all the tapas, pintxos and sangria they could.
Now all their hard work and research has paid off.
Basqueria is the newest spot downtown, bringing all the deliciousness you’d find on the streets of Spain to Tucson.
