The Scene
The margaritas are one of the main reasons to visit, and the fresh fruit liquados are another. It's a chichi Willow Glen spot, with lots of colorful artwork and decor that has a real sense of play. With dirt-cheap prices, counter service, and a fiesta atmosphere, it has captured the hearts of lots of young professionals.
The Food
There are Caesar salads and barbecued ahi burritos, but some of the best offerings are the more traditional enchiladas and meat-filled burritos and tacos. Unlike so many inexpensive Mexican joints, desserts are not ignored: Try the polenta cake or the Mexican flourless chocolate cake if it's available. A salsa bar allows you to doctor your meal, from a little kicky to big-time incendiary.

Aqui has become our favorite restaurant. The one in Willow Glen is the one we usually go to, but we like the one in Campbell also, and the food is consistant. Not only is the food great, the prices are good, the drinks are good, and ALL the people that work there are outstanding. Everybody is cheerfull and helpfull. I'm not crazy about the new aluminum chairs. It does get pretty busy sometimes, but it is well worth it.

This place is great! Food quality is excellent; service is prompt; prices are reasonable. The lines can be a little long on Friday & Saturday night but the food still comes up within 10 minutes or so.. Menu is pretty basic, some things aren't my favorites but others are great. Try the specials; the Mahi-Mahi on Fridays is great.

I not only go to the Aqui at this location, I go to the one in Campbell as well. <BR> Friendly staff and VERY fresh food. They have daily special which they place on diplay so you can see what you get. YUMMY <BR>They get really busy Thurday thru Sunday, not that this is a bad thing, you just need to get your table situated before ordering.
