Querencia Brunch Restaurant

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.

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!

Just visited this place for the first time. Yelp is very useful when looking for new places. It seems new and with lots of options on their menu. We had rey buttermilk Pancakes and they were pretty decent. The decor seems like they are tying to make it trendy. I had chilaquiles and they were good even though I wished they had more of a traditional green sauce. Service was decent , We will probably give it another try soon

No complaints at all Food was full of flavor and tasted fresh‼I will be back to try other dishes

Been here twice and can't wait to go back! Food and service great both times and great bang for your buck.

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.

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.

I have become fond of Querencia. Our first time was New Year's Eve. The mimosas were delicious and perfect for the occasion. We made it back last week when the chef was testing some chilaquiles with chorizo for the menu. They were delicious also - in addition to our actual order. Today, we tested the taco appetizer and pozole. All of our interactions with staff have been very pleasant despite every table being full on a Tuesday. The menu has enough variety for plenty of visits. We plan on making this a regular go-to spot.

Food was great. Very nice staff and owner. Highly recommend. We will be returning. Great addition to the breakfast scene.

The food was great! New experience. Our waitress was very courteous and attentive. We will come back again. Ordered the Chilleques and Huevos Rancheros. So good!
