I have been wanting to try this place since it opened, but something would always come up and I would have to cancel my reservations. The day finally came and I finally followed through with my reservation. The parking situation nearby isn't the best, as the small space is shared with other businesses. However, there is plenty of parking overall. I love the color pink and the vibe here is vibrant! The food is served on simple, minimalistic dishware. I love that simple and elegant design. The food and drink I ordered, wasn't extraordinary in my opinion. However, the presentation and prices are great for me. read more

The food had great authentic Mexican flavor. Tried some conchas they were warm and had a panadería taste. I had a Dulce de Leche ice coffee and the coffee alone is worth the trip. The waitress was attentive and super helpful with answering question and giving suggestions. I would give a 5 stars but I felt the alcoholic drinks were a little over priced for the size. But other then that a great place to have brunch with your friends and eat some really good food with an amazing environment. read more

I recently found this place when trying to figure out where to eat for brunch in Temecula. This place was just opened in 2025. I made a reservation for 3 and although it was packed when we arrived, we were seated right away. We were walked to the outside patio which normally I don't like bc it's not as aesthetic and I feel forgotten but honestly it was the cutest spot and we were right in front of the bar. They definitely make you feel at home no matter where you sit. The place itself is super cute and everyone is so nice! OK now for food, their menu is very extensive. I ordered the café de olla latte (delicious) and chilaquiles de rajas. We also shared some pancakes. Apparently the chilaquiles are the most popular dish (according to our server) and they have different types with different spice levels. The dish I ordered said it was 2/4 spicy but honestly it wasn't at all. My friends also said the same thing for the ones they ordered. We asked for spicy salsa on the side, but also not spicy. That was my only issue but regardless the food was great! They also offer sweet items on the menu, other really good looking entrees and matcha which isn't very common at a restaurant so that I liked. They also have non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks which all sounded so good! Our server was amazing (I wish I could remember her name). We were literally there for 3.5 hours and didn't get kicked out. This place is family friendly but also gives out party vibes for a girls brunch weekend. I wasn't drinking at that time but I'm definitely going back to try their espresso martinis! read more

Quiero Brunch - A Must‑Stop in Temecula *Server:* Morgan *Overall vibe:* Funky, chill, totally food‑ie‑approved We walked in hungry, and Morgan swooped in with a smile. She suggested the *mazapán latte* (half‑sweet, per her tip) and it was a sweet‑spotted, nutty dream. The *chicharrón chips & guacamole* were crunchy‑crispy, the guac creamy--basically BOMB. My husband dove into the *birria queso tacos* and the consomé on the side? Chef's kiss. I went for the *chipotle chilaquiles with birria*--the sauce was so good I wanted to sip it straight from the bowl . Service? Spot on. Morgan's vibe made the wait feel like a chill hangout, and the kitchen backed it up with flavor that makes people wait hours. If you're anywhere near the area, put this place on the list. You won't regret it! read more

We came here for brunch on a Tuesday. They were very busy and had a 45min to an hour wait. We opted to sit at the bar so we only waited about 20 min. The staff were all very friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and my husband tried chilaquiles for the first time and loved it. It took our food a while to come out as the kitchen was backed up but the food was good. If you are in the area, this place is worth checking out. read more

We had reservations and were promptly seated outside on the back patio. I was quite surprised at the size of the restaurant. They used every possible space for seating, I was impressed. We ordered the TAMAL PLATE and the VERDE-QUILES. Both were good potions. The chilaquiles were huge and delicious, I could not finish them and the tamal plate was a great entree for someone with a smaller appetite. We did not expect it, but they brought us out 2 desserts for our birthdays. The mini sweet Mexican bread was perfect to finish off our birthday celebration. The staff was lovely and attentive and everything came out hot and fresh. Thanks for making it a special day for us. read more

This is such a cute place for brunch! I stumbled in after my nail appointment and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the verde chilaquiles and they were sooo good. The tortilla chips were crispy, the salsa mild with a little kick and the added chicken was very tender. The server was attentive to refilling my water glass as well. I'll definitely go back to try something else :) read more

Full disclosure: this review is coming off the back of a redo as our previous experience was sub par. Sat down on a Monday morning off of a 9am reservation. (Quiero Brunch only does next day reservations.) We were quickly greeted and offered coffee and other beverages. Our server was Abby and she was full of energy and able to explain and make recommendations off of the menu. Ordered Cafe de Olla, rojo-quiles, the mini machaca burritos and we were given a sample of the French toast as 'dessert'. The cafe de Olla was amazing and I'm not really a fan of hot coffee. The rojo-quiles are their version of a traditional red sauce chilaquiles. It's made with guajillo chili which makes it a bit thicker and smokier than normal. With all of the fixins, it's a damn good plate of chilaquiles. My recommendation would be if you like hot food, ask for the chilaquiles extra hot, as both times I've had them they were lukewarm. The machaca burritos on the other hand came out piping hot and full of flavor. The chorizo beans were amazing too. Ask for a side of their habanero salsa, it's packed full of flavor and has plenty of heat. I wish they bottled it. Last thing we had was the French toast served with fresh cream, maple syrup, a tres leches dip and a seasonal pumpkin cream dip. The fresh toast was amazing, it can be eaten on its own without any add ons. The cream and all of the dips just added to the experience. Overall this place feels modern and lively. The staff is amazing and hospitable. It's easy to see why this place is always packed, be prepared to wait if you come on the weekends. read more

This place was so pretty! The atmosphere was great. If you're looking for a trendy spot and a great place to get good pics this is your spot! The food was great. All of it was tasty. The service was great and the food came out really quick so it was great. The two little downsides were the fact that that they don't serve rice. The waitress said it was because it's a brunch place. I just love rice. The second was that we have to pay for chips and salsa. All in all great experience. I would come back. read more

My friend and I came early for brunch. We didn't have a reservation, but we got seated right away outside, which was great! I really loved the decor. The plants hanging from the ceiling gave it such a cozy vibe, and the color scheme along with the wall art made the place feel super inviting. Our server, Kayla, was awesome! She was really cheerful and always had a smile on her face. She checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. Since it was a chilly day, I went with the pozole, and it was exactly what I was craving. So comforting and tasty. The food came out quickly too, which was a nice bonus. We also got the mini conchitas, and they were so soft and delicious. They paired perfectly with my hot matcha latte. There's been a lot of hype about this place, and honestly, it lived up to it. I'd definitely come back to try more things from the menu! read more

I saw a COMING SOON sign a couple of weeks ago whenever I pass by the RANCH 88 plaza on the way home & then, some NOW OPEN ad on IG. They did a great job marketing this place so I called the phone number I found on YELP to check and see if we can bring our pupster COCO the Samoyed to sit with us in the patio area... Coco was allowed to sit outside in the patio area! So they are DOG FRIENDLY! SONG of the DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: Dame Un Grrr Song by Fantomel and Kate Linn... TAMAL PLATE: 8/10 Two points off because the tamale itself was a bit dry and the sauce was sour. There was a nice creamy sauce that came with it but, it was like a cilantro lime on the sour side. The presentation was great. GREEN POZOLE: 8/10 Two points off because it was sour and had a lot of fatty chunks. I love pozole and I usually have the red Pozole. The Green One is interesting it already has a lot of lime flavor so I didn't have to squeeze the lime. There were a lot of fat chucks from the pork. Overall, I prefer the red pozole. CHIPS & SALSA:10/10 Love the thickness, flavor and crunchiness of the chips and the salsa was nice and smoky. CHIPOTLE CHILAQUILES: 8/10 Two points off because The Carne Asada was chewy and the possibly red in the center still. Presentation was very nice and I loved the fried egg. MINI PAN: 10/10 It was perfection! I enjoyed everything about it. No complaints except mas por favor ;) SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Everyone was so nice and friendly. SHOUT OUT to ADRIAN for being our awesome server and MAURICIO for helping us pack our boxes into the bag on our way out. AMBIANCE: It's a full house here because it's GORGEOUS and CLEAN! PARKING: BUSY but, there is plenty at this shopping center. ROCK ON QUIERO BRUNCH! Thank you for opening in Temecula!! read more

I was disappointed with how reservations were prioritized over walk-ins. I came as a walk-in and was told the wait would be 40 minutes. After an hour and 20 minutes, I had to ask what was taking so long. At that point, I was told that all reservations had to be seated first. If I had been informed of that upfront, I wouldn't have waited so long. The food was okay but not worth waiting over an hour for. Service, once we were seated, was good and fast--I can't argue with that. However, I noticed some guests sitting at a table for almost two hours. On busy weekends, I think it would be fair to limit table time to 1.5 hours so others aren't left waiting excessively. The staff apologized multiple times for the delay, but to me, constant apologies only highlight poor planning. They should improve their system for balancing reservations and walk-ins, otherwise they'll continue to have frustrated customers. read more

This was my first time at Quiero Brunch and everything was a 5/5 from booking the reservation over the phone for my large party to the service on the day of our reservation. Our waitress Jelly took such good care of us the entire time. She even offered her fan for us because we were seated outside and had a newborn baby with us. The food was seasoned to PERFECTION and we had no complaints. Everyone left feeling satisfied. We will 100% be coming back read more

Quiero Brunch - Flan - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

Lexi was amazing! Major kudos and thanks to this wonderful Quiero Brunch team! Lexi provided amazing recommendations like the Dulce De Leche iced latte, I was so happy to try it! It was rich, but not too thick! The lattes at this brunch spot are some of the best in the Inland Empire. The mole-quiles were PHENOMENAL, omg you need to try QB's mole! It's such a unique twist on chilaquiles, I'm obsessed. My only quip would be that some of the food came out a little too cool, almost room temperature as if it was sitting there. It didn't ruin it, but it was a little odd having some portions of the meal being prepared warm and the others less so. Overall, the staff was wonderful from the front desk to the cutlery staff. Everyone had a good attitude and was very inclusive! I'll definitely return to this place, the outdoor patio was super laidback, they had great music next to the bar! Note: A chilaquiles (mole) plate is $19. I added chicken for an additional $4. My Dulce De Leche Latte was $8.00 with an oatmilk add-on Everything was super fresh! read more

My husband and I decided to try Quiero Brunch--and just like the name says, it's the perfect combo of Mexican breakfast and lunch. They're known for their chilaquiles, so I had to order the ZestyQuiles with chicken after seeing a Yelp rec. The citrusy twist in the sauce was so good! My husband went with the Chipotle Chilaquiles with al pastor which he loved, and of course, we each had our own mimosas (his request lol). I think next time I will try one of their cocktails though! Mimosas after all always taste the same to me lol Plates coming out around us looked huge, and sure enough, when ours arrived, the portions were very generous. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, and we already know we'll be back. The vibe inside was relaxed and inviting, making it a spot we'd recommend for anyone craving a hearty and flavorful brunch. read more

Quiero Brunch is such a cute restaurant! This is a place I'd want to go with my girlfriends for brunch. Our matcha and latte were good, but I think we came on an off day because my food was tasty, but presentation was sloppy, and they forgot to add a few items to my dish. Our second dish didn't come out at the same time mine did, and we were told that it would be out in a few minutes and it never came so we ended up canceling the order. The only reason why this place is getting more stars is because of the Danny. He did his best in trying to get our food out and when it didn't, he asked if we wanted anything on the house. We asked to try their homemade gansito and it was delish! I want to give this place another shot and hopefully the food will be better this time. read more

So excited we finally got to try this place. We had tried coming here before but the wait was too long that time. This morning we got lucky and were seated in the patio right away. The decor is so cute! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered a Fresa Matcha Latte, which was perfect, and the pozole (which our great server, Jelly, told usas actually made by the owners mom). It was so good! It didn't seem like a very big portion at first, but it was so filling, with lots of pork meat, plenty of toppings, and 2 tostadas. My husband had a Cafe Americano, and the habanero chilaquiles. He loved them! The only reason I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is because my pozole was served warm instead of hot. Aside from that we really enjoyed our brunch at Quiero Brunch and are already planning on going back! read more

Stumbled into Quiero Brunch in Temecula, aka the pink palace of Mexican breakfast dreams.... like if Barbie moved to Mexico and opened a brunch spot w serious flavor game!!! The decor was so cute and extremely pink, that it made my coffee blush!!! FR, FR!!! We went full foodie mode: Chips & Salsa for the crunch, Steak & Eggs for the gains, and a Quesabirria Plate that basically gave us a cheese hug. Washed it all down w a Dulce de Leche Latte so sweet it melted my heart. Service was stellar and very attentive. Parking is basically a side quest, make sure you're wearing walking shoes since you'll probably have to park at the empty Big Lots lot. Already planning our next visit... and bringing stretchy pants. read more

This was my first and my last time coming here. TL;DR food was good, service was abysmal. The food was great. My friend ordered the mole chilequiles and she enjoyed them but she said they were of the sweet variety which she was like meh. Everyone in our party really enjoyed their food and kept raving how delicious everything was, the patio where we were sitting was nice and not too loud, the inside almost looked like a 50's diner with how the booths looked but i woukd recommend ouside since it is a bit quiter. The service however, left A LOT to be desired. Our reservation for party of 6 was at 1030, we were around the corner when they called us at 10:28am checking if we were going to make it and we confirmed we were almost there and had confirmed via their texting confirmation system like 15 mins earlier so we were confused why they were calling us. Anyways, we checked in at 10:30am and they said it would be a few moments as they are getting the table ready so we stepped outside. We were probably waiting out there for 5 mins and we got a text saying our table was ready but when we went in the hostess said it was still getting ready so we waited an additional 5-10in the lobby. Once seated, we put in our orders for both drinks and water. We were hungry and parched. It literally took 30 mins to get glasses of water out to us. I asked once it had been 15mins since we still hadnt gotten them and they said they needed to get clean glasses but at that point just give us waters in your to-go cups. 30 mins is ridiculous. By this point it's already 11:30am (we made note as another friend had texted the group when we put in our orders) and we had not seen our server. One of the girls who ordered a cafe de olla had gotten it but we were still waiting on 2 Micheladas and 2 more coffees. He had said their system went down and it had to all be put in manually. We get it, we are understanding but convey that message to us so we aren't sitting there wondering why it is taking so long and why the baby shower behind us is getting their drinks and we aren't. By 11:45-ish everyone got their drinks and 5 mins later one of the girls got her plate. Another 15 mins go by and one other girl gets her plate. We have to ask how much longer until we all get our plates and it comes out 15 mins later now that the first girls food is cold. In a span 2 hrs we only saw our server 4 times. I can't even remember his name because we hardly saw the guy and I didn't see a name tag. I have worked in table service and I know to at least check in ebery so often and explain the situation. The whole experience was just awful, we were hungry and thirsty yet it took a solid 30 mins to get water, WATER! Nothing was done to rectify the situation, gratuity was auto because we were a party of 6 so there's that, but like should have at least comped the drinks we had to wait over an hour for. And I swear if they come on here and try to comp something and ask for a receipt I can't because their systems were down so I could even get one. We were wrapping up a girls weekend from a Bachelorette party so if we are ever back in town I won't be coming back. The food was delicious though, so maybe if they do to-go orders I might consider them. read more

I just wanted to share a bit of feedback from our visit last week. When we were looking through the menus, I noticed my hands got sticky/moist and realized that two of the menus were stuck together. It may have been coffee, pancake syrup, or something else, but honestly it wasn't very pleasant. Just as a friendly suggestion, it might be a good idea to pay a little more attention to cleaning the menus between customers. Thank you! read more

Saw this place promoted on social media. When we went it was really packed. They were able to squeeze us in at the bar with no reservation. The restaurant decor is really cute and the bartenders were nice, but service was really slow and the food was ok. Ambience is good for a date, but I'd skip it if it's packed since there are better food options. read more

We were on our way to Temecula for a day trip and did not know what to eat. I came across this place on IG and decided to give it a try. Upon arriving, there was a long line out the door of people waiting to get seated. We were able to put our name down for a reservation, so we waited about 5-10 minutes before we got seated. They sat us at the bar area and were greeted immediately by the baristas. The menu was a bit overwhelming, since everything looked sounded so good. Here is what we ordered: Zesty-quiles: We saw this was a crowd favorite so decided to give it a try. We added both Al Pastor and Arrachera to it. I would say both the meats were good but the beef was top notch. It was cook perfectly, medium rare and came soft and tender. The chilaquiles themselves were also good, but a little too zesty for me. It was a good sized portion for the price, and for sure something you can share. Next time, I would have to try the Verde-quiles. Mini Pan Conchas: Not usually a conchas fan because of how dry they can be but these were soooo good. They came out warm and so moist. I would come back here just for these, honestly. Buttery Caramelized Banana French Toast: The french toast texture was delicious. The outside was slightly crispy and the center was soft. I wished there was more whipped cream, but overall this dish was good! El Amanecido - This drink was a mock tequila sunrise, but was just average. Good to try but would not get it again. Guava Strawberry Margarita: This drink was perfectly sweet, but did not taste as much guava as I was expecting to. Also good but would not get again. Overall, definitely reserve a table before arriving. There is not much space inside, and it was packed on just a regular weekday. Service can be a bit spotty, as they forgot about a few things for us and confused orders. Nothing too major that would stop us from returning. If I was in the area again, I would for sure return to try other items and would recommend this to friends in the area! read more

Well, it's a Rollercoaster of a review... so, here it goes. Our waitress was good and attentive, no complaints there...but the kitchen failed the front. I always hesitate to eat Mexican food in Temecula due ti it's lack of authenticity and NO..I WILL NIT GO TO GUACALA-JARAS! We had three plates... A chorizo, eggs and papa's burrito with beans.... (good) A red menudo (meh) or caldo de maiz with some menudo, oh and the calories seems like they put Maza in it to thicken the soup. I had a cafe de diabetes (olla) too much piloncillo.... should of been called agua de piloncillo. A machaca plate (nope) what looks like shredded beef with bell pepper and onions that was ran thru a food processor. Machaca is suppose to be scramble eggs with shredded beef... THATS IT! I gave it three stars for the service and the burrito. I'm glad I didn't get the weenies and eggs, it would of went south if that came out bad also. Just being honest. read more

Came here during Mother's Day weekend on a Saturday and it was packed, they don't allow any takeout orders that day for any hot food. I assume because it was busy? I think their service was good.

Two words... Zesty chilaquiles. Oh, and reservations! Quiero Brunch has quickly become a favorite around town. The chilaquiles have huge portions and absolutely delicious, the mini conchas are warm and mouthwatering, and the service is great! Best bet is to make a reservation up front cause they get absolutely slammed on the weekends. My preference is to sit outside cause the music is fire to listen to on a Sunday morning!

This place didn't disappoint for me! The customer service was on point! From the moment I walked in the girls at the hostess stand were friendly, the ladies near the coffee/pastry area were super friendly & our waitress Maddy was AMAZING and hilarious! All of the other staff throughout our meal were friendly as well. The food was delicious I got the Chilaquiles with the zesty sauce and birria meat. The meat was so flavorful and the zesty sauce was yummy! The mimosa flight was so cute with 4 different flavors: orange, pineapple, cucumber and guava. I loved that you could actually taste the flavoring in the mimosas. The restaurant was so cute decorated in a lot of pink decor. The patio area was nice and had umbrellas for each table.
