When I'm in PV, Mi Querencia is the only place I now go for breakfast. First of all, the breakfast is fantastic. They've raised their prices since 2011, but it's still a great value especially when you factor in their bottomless free coffee. And my suggestion, get their Mexican coffee that is brewed with brown sugar and cinnamon sticks. It's... More

Now it is a definite must go everytime year. Starting with the greeting from the staff, you are welcomed as you are into most homes with warmth... More

Located on the Malecon which is why many visit. The food is nothing to write home about nor do I recommend!

I have to recommend this wonderful place. My husband and I discovered it on our first trip to PV and with each consecutive trip we have made a point of eating here. Specifically the shrimp tacos (appy) which is enough for me. And the margaritas, which are delicious. My husband's favourite place for happy hour. The surroundings are great, lovely... More

Looking for something other than our usual favorites (Trio, Vitea, La Palapa), we parked in Viejo Vallarta and went walking down the sparkling new malecon. Just off Calle Mina, found Mi Querencia, one of the few places that doesn't have a noisy, happy crowd of tequila-laced tourists hanging off a second-floor balcony. Our place for dinner. Good choice. We shared... More

Mi Querencia is located on the malecon near the seahorse statue. My husband, daughter and I had a perfect table with a view of the ocean at sunset. The view and hospitality could not have been better. Our waiter offered suggestions, and all three of us chose different meals which we enjoyed very much. We sampled mahi mahi, fahitas and... More

Great staff with Mario and the gang. I have read some reviews and they were not good. This must have been an off day for the staff , like any restaurant can have. For example, we have been to pipi's and found it sucked! Busy! Doesn't always mean good, but in fairness we will try it again! So I encourage... More

4 of us went to La Querencia for breakfast on February 17. We all ordered the same thing, the "Caporal" breakfast. It included steak, eggs, chilaquiles, coffee and juice for 125 pesos and was all very good. The restaurant was charming in a Mexican colonial way and the background music was lovely Mexican-style guitar, a nice change from some of... More

We chose this place because Mexicans were eating there, and no wonder, because the food was excellent. We moved from the front ocean view seats because they were too near the street, but the rear section was quiet and cool. A great spot for a cool drink or a full meal.
