Went to celebrate some birthdays and everyone enjoyed their meal. Salmon tacos, quesadillas, burritos were delicious!

After years of continuing to visit, the friendly staff and fresh, delicious food and rotating specials have me coming back. This is one of the few places I could stomach when nauseous in pregnancy. Favorite sauce is the firecracker! It's also easy to order online and they have my food ready on time everytime.

Aqui always has good food and great service. This particular location is pretty small, so often feels crowded. But decor and seating is on par with all other Aquis locations. (Too bad they can't take over the togos or gym!)

I come here for brunch two or three times a week because every dish is clean, healthy, and absolutely delicious. The prices are very reasonable, and the handmade drinks are incredibly flavorful. It's truly a place that nourishes both body and soul.

A wonderful stop in San Jose. Fresh flavors, constantly rotating specials, and that mango salsa! The tomatillo soup was new to me, and zesty and delicioua. The margaritas are not to miss. Clean bathrooms, and efficient order at the cou ter service, and they'll bus your tables.

My wife finally got me to eat at a sit down Mexican restaurant. We sat outside on a warm afternoon but it was fine in the shade. There were some flies buzzing around which I was able to ignore. After looking over the menu, I realized you have to go inside to order. I'm ok with that but then does this count as a sit down restaurant? I guess it's a self service sit down restaurant. I enjoyed my food. I got this Cuban looking dish (forgot the name but it's in the photo) and wifey got her salad. She's ordered this salad 3x prior and swears by its goodness. I find it pretty good but not sure if it's the big wow she says it is. My Cuban dish had nice flavors, a rich sauce, very meaty chunks of tender pork and a nice contrast of flavor with the fried plantains. I don't eat black beans much so this was a nice accompaniment. I enjoyed my main dish, but I will try other dishes next time.

Let's start off with the good stuff. The food we ordered was delicious. My partner and I split both our entrees because it was my first time ever and her first time in YEARS. The Tri-tip chimichurri was really good! The portion size was really good and the chimichurri was the highlight of the dish. The grilled wild mahi was good too. The mahi mahi was a bit dry and over cooked, but the rest of the plate was delicious. The highlight of this dish was the rice in the sauce. The chips were hot and crunchy, and the salsa was just addicting. LOVED that it was unlimited. We ordered some drinks too. We got a jack & coke, and Tito's soda. Both were decently poured. At times we could barely taste the alcohol. But after 4 drinks each, it did the job. Hahaha. The restaurant was busy! Which was expected since it was a Friday night. It was super fast paced. We sat at the bar so it was more of an adult vibe, but we even saw some babies with their parents sitting near the bar watching the NFL draft. We met some amazing regulars. And the bartender was super nice and personable. Now the only reason I gave it a 4 star because as soon as we got there I was bringing over a high chair to sit at the bar since there was space, and the bartender was rude in the way that she told me not to bring it and to put it back. I'm not mad at the reason behind it, because I totally get it. But it was the way she said it. And with that being the first thing she said to me made a huge difference. I didn't like it. But she turned it around once we settled in. All in all we'll be back to eat and drink again.

Life happened and we moved away, but when back in town... where was our first spot to hit before heading to our hotel? Aqui!!! lol My go to every time...The crab cake salad! A large crab cake with true lumps of crab. The salad was fresh and had diced mango and thin strips of tortilla chips for crunch. The crab cake with chicken enchiladas are bomb too! Added a small cup of tomatillo soup on the this cold rainy day - comfort for the soul. Their sangrias and swirls are well known, but didn't have any on this visit. A great meeting place to meet up with friends and the best Cal- Mex food EVER!

Went to the restaurant on a Friday evening with a group of friends. No reservation needed. Walked in and sat on the patio. It's a self serve restaurant. You order and pay upfront at the counter. They give you a buzzer for the food and drinks are served immediately. The indoors was a little underwhelming but the patio had a nice vibe to it. They had heaters on top of every table making it comfortable to sit outdoors even on a chilly night. Food: We ordered the Aqui sampler for the table which came with the guacamole, salsa, hummus and chips. Pretty good quantity and a great shareable starter. Chicken enchilada: good quantity, has 3 enchiladas, in a brown sauce served. It was served with chayote-zucchini which I am not a fan of. It was also served with roasted corn and brown rice which really yum. Thai peanut organic tofu: very interesting combination with mango and grapes served on a bed of rice, tofu and veggies. Very fresh and refreshing. Adobo chicken bowl: person who ordered it wasn't a big fan Drinks: Drinks are what Aquis specializes in! Every drink on the table was really appreciated. The bartenders are not shy when pouring alcohol. The drinks are BOOZY! I understand why they are called industrial strength! This location also has a full bar. Aloha Mai tai swirl: Mai tai blended with their industrial strength margarita. Very tasty Cran-Apple Bulleit Swirl: this was the season special drink which bourbon, apple rum, cranberry, apple juice with their industrial strength margarita. Really tasty and not overly sweet. 21 Seeds Valencia Martini Craft Swirl: very orangey and fresh
