Johnny O’s is open and awesome for breakfast and lunch in Rancho Cucamonga

This Friday, we hit the road to the Inland Empire to check out a no-frills, family-owned restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga.

Welcome to Johnny O’s, located in the Vineyards Marketplace shopping center.

When the 2008 recession hit, owner John Ortega, who most here know as Johnny O, said he and his family decided to start a business of their own.

They say they’ve been “open and awesome” since 2014, serving all your breakfast and lunch classics.

The strawberry French toast is a hit, and big breakfast sandwiches and bacon burritos keep locals coming back for a hot meal.

“I come here at least twice a week, if not more,” Tonya Bethley, a regular customer, said. “They’re so friendly. They’re so warm and welcoming to anyone that comes in.”

The menu also boasts potatoes loaded with bacon and cheese and delicious Cajun hot links and home fries.

Ortega said they put the focus on the food, with a mission to serve quality and filling meals that everyone in their community can enjoy.

“We wouldn’t be here without the community,” Ortega said. “Local families, customers, communities, schools, fire department, police department. All these guys that helped us and COVID and everything else, they’re a pillar for us.”

Most dishes, including mouth-watering pancakes and homemade biscuits and gravy, are under $20.

Johnny O’s in Rancho Cucamonga is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“To be honest, it’s humbling,” Ortega said. “I’m glad that people reach out and enjoy what we do. I put a lot of effort into it, a lot of hard work.”

The restaurant is located at 11368 Kenyon Way Suite G, in Rancho Cucamonga.

Sanctity Hotel opens in Rancho Cucamonga

The Sanctity Hotel and Durango Cocina & Rooftop Bar has opened in Rancho Cucamonga, California, as part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection.

The 68-room hotel has retreat style accommodations and premium amenities, including a gym, sauna and Thriv Studio—offering advanced wellness therapies—as well as rooftop dining, according to Globiwest Hospitality, which will operate the hotel.

“Bringing Sanctity Hotel and Durango Cocina to life has been a dream come true. Every detail tells a story, inviting guests to experience something truly unique to the area,” said Sachin Bhakta, vp of development at Globiwest Hospitality, in a statement. “Rancho Cucamonga is an incredible community, and we wanted to create a space that feels like a true retreat—where guests can unwind, experience exceptional hospitality, and enjoy amazing food and drink at Durango Cocina.”

Sanctity Hotel’s design is a modern interpretation of the five fundamental elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—woven into every detail of the property. Inspired by the palaces of India and brought to life with natural materials, the interiors are grounded in earth through the use of hand-carved Parota wood sourced from Mexico.

For guests seeking wellness treatments, Thriv Studio offers an advanced, holistic approach to relaxation and rejuvenation with innovative services like Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Infrared Ozone Therapy, and BrainTap Therapy—each designed to enhance mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

Meanwhile, led by chef Alex Carrasco, a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, Durango Cocina’s menu pays tribute to the culinary heritage of Durango, Mexico, while integrating locally sourced ingredients and modern cooking techniques. Brought to life by Boulevard Hospitality Group, the new concept is designed to bring a vibrant culinary destination and the city’s first rooftop dining experience.

Set against expansive mountain views, Rancho Cucamonga’s first rooftop bar has serpentine-style seating and cabana sections surrounding fire pits and offers guests menu options like its Ceviche and an extensive mezcal and tequila selection, handcrafted cocktails, fine wines, and house-made agua frescas.
