I don't usually go out for breakfast/brunch, but I was going to a church just a few hundred feet away and I have been to Johnny's a couple of times and that other place by the high school. I was greeted after a moment, just after 8:30 when there was only one server working. Two others arrived probably 15 minutes later. It really wasn't much different inside than when it was Johnny's. I even sat at the counter. It feels renewed, not renovated. Having a drink menu at 8:30 in the morning seemed more "Breakfast at Tiffany's" than I considered, even though I knew that they had such a menu. I think I spent too much time thinking about that. I ended up ordering Chorizo & Eggs. That's a first time for me. I was thinking that I spent almost a week in Monterrey, NL, and I couldn't remember anything I ate. The hotel restaurant had Spanish food, and that was 1977. With a name like Querencia (hangout/haunt), I had to try a Mexican breakfast. When the food arrived, she told me that the tortillas would take an extra moment. I asked something silly: "is there a special way to eat the meal?", especially since everything comes with tortillas. She was kind and helpful. The Chorizo & Eggs didn't look as appetizing as I expected it would. The good thing was that it was more like grandma cooked than having a chef. Tell me that you don't like grandma's cooking more. Come on. With the orange juice, it was about $28 and 22% tip put it over $34. The servers all seemed very friendly, and the food was good. read more

My friend invited me to breakfast and chose this place she loves it. The service was great. Looked clean and inviting. I got the guava mimosa it was cool. I also got the red and green chilaquiles I honestly preferred the red over the green. I like that they add chorizo to the bottom. The chicken I added was a little dry. My friend ordered the suiza enchiladas they were yummy and came with rice and beans. read more

Came here with my sister and our boyfriends. The restaurant was packed, but we got in right away. The decor and overall vibes are amazing, but we unfortunately had very slow service. We had to ask/order our coffee 3 times and one of us didn't even get it until we were done eating. Aside from that, the staff were very nice and the food tasted great. I'd like to try this spot again and give the service another chance. read more

Lots of parking available and okay service. There were only two servers working this day so they had their hands tied. My friend and I took a minute to order because we hadn't seen each other in a while. The sever approached us about 4 times asking if we were ready before we finally looked at the menus to order. The server was patient and friendly. Towards the end of our experience it started to get really hot inside. Food was good but I honestly thought it would have been better based off of some videos I saw online. I ordered the bacon and egg tacos which came with hash browns and two small sides of salsa. I didn't eat much of the tortillas. I had to remind the staff that I was my missing hash browns. Once I received them they were really crispy and delicious! My friend ordered the verde chilaquiles with both chorizo and steak. We had to remind the staff of the missing steak. Drinks were good but you could tell this place is known for their mimosas. Almost every table had one or some type of specialty drink on their table. Super cute presentation! read more

Pricey for the portion my omelette was small and my sausage sweet not for my taste paid extra for mushrooms and only saw like 4 pieces of it, coffee watery then got the café de olla and was hella sweet not coming back Bathroom didn't have toilet paper read more

I came back to finally try the Shrimp Miche!! It was so delicious and I can't wait to come back for it with friends. Service was great as usual but I hope they add another server soon because they get really busy early. It also looked like they added extra decor for cinco de mayo yesterday so they keep up with the ambiance. Another employee mentioned they will soon add outdoor seating in the future. My server was the same lady from 2 weeks ago and they remember me because of the Shrimp Miche ...I tipped her exceptionally well this time around in cash this time so hopefully that makes up for last time. I sat at the counter table near the kitchen so I was able to see them prepare some of the dishes which made me think of coming back to try something else!! Another table had kids and they ordered juice and saw the juice machine squeezing the kids oj juice. The cups were cute with sippy spouts so helpful rather than straws. Speaking of straws, I was sitting next to some and noticed they were heart shaped. I grabbed one to drink my Shrimp Miche read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Manteca to have Brunch after Church. It is family owned and ran and holy smokes the food will make you praise the Lord a second time in the morning! Their is something I have been doing lately as a reviewer. Not eating the same dish twice. That way I have more items to review and I try to take pictures when I can so you can see the food that I eat. When when I get here, I get so caught up in excitement just to eat I forget but this time I got some for you. I have had their skillet, eggs, omelet, chilaquilas and I know that may be spelled wrong but you know what I meant. This time I had the Taco Salad it was the first time I ventured into the non breakfast foods. Breakfast is always a 10 this was a 9.5 only because I expected tortilla slivers on top instead of American croutons and more salsa and maybe a spicy avocado drizzle as an added flavor boost. But those are all personal preferences like salt or pepper ya know! Hands down this place has a Sunday Vibe that fits all generations, all people and whatever you are doing on a Sunday be it after Church or before the game. Give it a try but be ready to go back again and again! Oh and ask for Alize and tell her Malinda your Yelp reviewer Sent you! read more

Loved the light atmosphere! Our waitress was so helpful! And the food was wonderful! Go for the sweet potato fries!

This was my first time here since it's been Querencia and it was very yummy! Our server was super nice and attentive. My 3.5 year old daughter was there asking lots of questions and she was being very sweet to her. The portions are giant, my mil and her mom shared a meal and I took half of mine home. I love the biscuit to gravy ratio for my meal, and it was packed with flavor but both of our meals were cold. That is the only complaint that I have. I would definitely come again. read more

Querencia Brunch Restaurant - Great veggie omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manteca, California

I've came into Querencia twice. First time was right after they opened and we had their Chilaquiles and they were good but spicier with each bite so it was hard to enjoy. You could tell they were super busy but doing their best to service everyone. We decided to give it another shot. We arrived and one of the waitresses told us if we could wait in the front entrance to give her time to clean up a table. We could visibly see 3 tables that had not been cleared yet. Another lady ended up saying excuse me to signal us it was ready and just slapped the menus on the table and walked away. Not a great start to the second time there. The cheeseburger wasn't very good. The patty had no flavor and it was definitely very basic. Barely any sauce added to it as well. The Chicken Avocado was good but the fries also needed to be cooked longer. They were still a little hard and not as warm. Needed to be crispier. They were also bland. As we sat waiting for our food another set of customers came in and had to wait for a table to be cleaned again. The photo of the main dining area is how it was the entire time we were there. I think they definitely needed a bus boy or someone helping them clean the tables so it didn't look so messy the entire time we were there. It's not a great look. We barely even got checked on or greeted well either. Seemed like the employees were tired and fed up unfortunately. Will not be coming back and do not recommend this spot. There is a lot of other cute brunch spots that go the extra mile for the experience. read more

This place opened at the old Johnny's. We came one rainy morning wanting to try their brunch offerings. I saw that the place were fully upgraded and everything's new. The place is well lit with booth, table and counter seatings. We were seated at their booth table which was spacious and comfortable. We both ordered coffee for our morning drink. I love that the smell of their coffee were so fragrant that it woke me up right away. I decided to order country fried steak with hash brown and eggs over easy. This was my go to breakfast food whenever I try a new place to see if I will come back to it again. Also ordered was their Q-brunch burger with onion rings and baked cheese for dipping. The country fried steak was battered nicely with the right amount of meat to batter portion. It was crunchy on the outside yet juicy on the inside. Their country gravy had tiny slices of breakfast sausage which add up to the flavor. It was a nice combination and just how I like my gravy, thick. Hash brown and eggs paired perfectly as well and with the toast to clean the plate with, yum! Q burger were juicy in every bite with the crunch of bacon to go with. It also had hash brown inside so that was a delightful surprise to our taste buds. The onion rings were also fried with the right amount if greasiness in it. This place were very inviting and the decor were very appealing to my senses. The only issue I have with them is that they need to put a mat on their doorways and wet sign since the day we went was a rainy day. They need to watch out for people slipping on their floors to avoid accidents. But other than that their service was excellent and prompt. They kept our coffee topped up and friendly service altogether. Definitely another place to keep coming back from. read more

Came here in the morning in a small group, was seated right away. Britney did a wonderful job with the drinks and giving us refills on our coffee. Food came out around the same time for everyone. Was not too busy on a Saturday morning. Plenty of seating all around the restaurant. Chicken fried steak was around 6-8 oz. Would have preferred country style gravy, but overall good. The chili verde omelette was definitely more food for its price. Our waters and coffees were topped off multiple times and we got extra napkins when the food came out. Thank you to Britney for being our server today. read more

Listen hands down the best chilaquiles I have had outside of Mexico! I did the red sauce. It's creamy and just enough heat and spice. The spice level is enjoyable without you breathing fire! My husband had the country fried chicken. It was delicious! The gravy was creamy and had chunks of sausage! Rustic and homemade! That's what most restaurants are missing. Not this place! The service was amazing! Our server was super friendly and nice. You need to come here! Not to mention that the decor inside is super cute! read more

Querencia Brunch Restaurant - Chilaquiles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manteca, California

We arrived yesterday (Sunday) around 9:30 am and there were only a couple of people eating so plenty of tables. We were seated by a nice young man who also asked for our drink order. The menu has some american breakfast choices along with some mexican dishes. They also have a lof of waffles and pancakes to choose from. We ordered coffee and orange juice. For breakfast I ordered an omelette and my husband had the huevos rancheros. One note: Both of our egg dishes were cooked without salt. I am not sure if this is standard for them or if this was an error. Unfortunately adding salt after cooking eggs does not taste the same. The omelettes come with toast but my server did not tell me that hash browns were an option. While we were eating and a different server was helping the table next to us, she asked them if they wanted has browns with their omelette as a side. The huevos rancheros were OK. This is a new restaurant (used to be Johnnie's) and I think they have a few details to work out. The bathroom floor was very dirty (used toilet paper and hand towels on the floor) and the faucet in the ladies room had a loose handle. Our server never came to see our we were doing while we were eating and it was a little challenging trying to order. She kept making us repeat what we said as it seemed she was not getting what we were saying and then she would keep repeating it. The seat bench I was sitting on was loose and rocking. Again, I think just some growing pains but you could tell everyone was trying to do good and make people happy. read more

We came in on a Saturday about 2:00 and were promptly seated. There is a clean nice bright feel to the restaurant, and the air conditioning worked great as it was 100 out. The menu has a good selection for brunch, but the prices unfortunately are way too high. A cup of regular coffee is $5! We decided to share a meal since we had dinner later, so we chose the enchiladas suisas, one of my favorites. There were 3 small enchiladas, and the sauce was tasty but very runny. A tiny cup of beans and a scoop of rice accompanied all for $18.99!! I hope it lasts, but the pricing for what you get is very prohibitive with other Mexican restaurants close by. I'm not sure we will return as there was really nothing to bring us back. read more

New restaurant in Manteca! Yay!!!! This place is the old Johnny's . They spruced up the place, it looks nice. I had chile verde it was good, had flavor. My husband had the churro waffle, he said he was so happy he could cry. It's only been here about a week and they have a lot of kinks to work out, but I'm sure they'll get there with the service. We both had mimosas which were delicious. I'm hoping that they will eventually have a full bar. Bloody Mary is on the menu but they aren't serving them yet. Good luck to the new owners I hope you succeed. Brittany was super sweet, we will definitely be back. read more

Came in to catch up with a few friends. This was a new try for all of us. First off, the place is clean. Service is quick and attentive. We weren't ready to order and the waitress not only gave us more time, but she also recommended some stuff, as well as answered questions about things we were interested in. I am not usually a fan of mimosas, but I've never had anything besides orange. After the recommendation, I gave the mango a chance and it was better than I expected. For lunch, I got the quesa Birria tacos. They were hot and fresh. Consume was good. Salsa could use a bit more spice, but it was still nice. The only con for me is the tight space in the parking lot. I notice that some people park there to walk to other nearby establishments, so pulling into a crowded lot off of Yosemite wasn't too easy, but doable. I'll definitely one back to try the breakfast items though read more

Came in to try this new Brunch place in Manteca! So happy to see another small business open up in town. Absolutely loved the ambience. Food was excellent! I had the Huevos Rancheros,and they were amazing! I asked for extra cheese because I love cheese! Michelada was perfect They have only been open for a few weeks, and definitely have to work out some kinks. They definitely need more staff because they are busy! I came in at 8am, and half the place was already full! So, if you visit soon, please be patient. The staff was super friendly, and tried their best to work as fast as they could. I will definitely be coming back to try all their other yummy food. read more

The food is amazing. The Eggs Benedict and Chilaquiles were the best we have EVER eaten. Their coffee was perfect. The mimosa flight flavors were different and so much better than any mimosas I have had before. The mica mimosa was my favorite. This place is Bay Area/San Diego quality in the Central Valley.

This place is definitely a vibe! It's a good time. The waiter was amazing and the food came out in pretty good timing. They have a pretty broad selection on foods to try, but it's their twist in Mexican food. It's not the original Mexican meals... They are Latin foods with a twist of tastiness I give it four stars because everything was great but the only thing that was off was the music... If it's a Mexican restaurant why not play Mexican music. They had country music one time and the other time they had English soft rock. read more

It should be embarrassing to serve this!! Extremely overpriced food and drinks. Which I usually would never mind but the food was extremely salty and mediocre for the price. The ambience is not it. I did not enjoy one bit of this place.$9 for an horchata? That's wild. Definitely will not be going back, it was not worth it. The service was okay. The waitress fine.

First time here . Room is very clean, tables have enough space between for easy access, music in background at acceptable levels. Waitress was prompt ,friendly and checking in at respectable times . I had the chicken fried steak, wife had French toast. It wasn't amazing but not the best. As a fan of hash browns I liked the crispy top but it was shaped into a square so internally texture was closer to a hard mashed potato. Coffee was really good. Price . Eh I think it's a bit high for what it is and would keep us from becoming a regular spot . read more

Met a friend here for brunch and had a lovely experience from start to finish. My friend was running late, but the server was incredibly kind and patient while I waited--offering me water, menus, and checking in just the right amount without making me feel rushed. Once my friend arrived, we placed our orders and the food came out quickly. I was originally eyeing the chicken and waffles, but the chicken was strips (not my thing), so I went with strawberries and banana waffle with a side order of breakfast sausage. Everything was fresh and delicious! My friend ordered the chilaquiles and said they were amazing. The vibe was super chill--no pressure to leave right after eating, which was perfect since we wanted to catch up. We lingered a bit after finishing our meals, and the server was nothing but gracious the entire time. Definitely planning to come back. Great food, great service, and an easygoing atmosphere! read more
