I recently tried Aqui and was impressed with their vegan-friendly menu. I ordered the tofu fajitas and they were excellent – perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice. The dish came with guac, beans, and rice, making it a complete and filling meal at a reasonable price point.
The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere with plenty of indoor seating, so it can easily accommodate groups of any size. It’s nice to find a Mexican spot in Cupertino that offers quality vegan options alongside their regular menu. They can accommodate all diets with their fresh ingredients. Would definitely come back when I’m in the area.

Really enjoyed my last visit to Aqui Cupertino! They have a new strawberry coconut soju swirl and it was delicious! Always enjoy the chips and guacamole and ordered the Vaquero Fries with chicken. Delicious! Saw some new drinks that had coffee and matcha too but haven’t tried them yet.

Everything we ordered was delicious! From the chicken taquitos to the salmon, the dip sampler, definitely will be back. This place is like a mexi-cali fusion with healthy options. Great for vegans and non vegans. I requested all sauces on the side, staff accommodated my request. Staff and service were exceptional.

Place is great for groups. Love the outdoor seating. Vibe is lively. Staff are friendly and helpful.
They have a lot of vegetarian options. We tried the Thai peanut tofu – 3/5, cauliflower bites side 4/5 and veggie quesadillas- 2/5 (it was burnt a little. The food felt healthy but didn’t taste as good as I expected.
Priced reasonably.
Will be back to try the chicken and pork options and the swirl.

First time. Glad we found this hidden spot in what seems to be China town. The atmosphere was clean, friendly staff. Enchiladas and crab cake meal had soooo much flavor and came out scorching hot for a caferteria type pick up style. Like the fact I can get my healthy alternatives in. My meal included zucchini and cherry tomatoes, soft and flavorful. Brown rice was cooked perfectly. The portions were fulfilling. Couldn’t finish the appetizer black bean dip (delicious). We tried half of the salsa bar sauces, all were delicious. The ghost sauce will creep up on you, oh and the drinks as well. Mai Tai and Carribean slushy premade drinks had a punch with lots of flavor. Did the job .

I had the special: jerked chicken. It was absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients and moist chicken. The outside eating patio is wonderful. They even provide space heaters. The food is good and a lot more healthy than what you’d find at lot of other places.

Absolutely love this place! The Mexican food here is delicious, reasonably priced, and always satisfying. We’ve tried several of their vegan options, and every single dish has been heavenly! It’s easily our go-to spot for Mexican food — highly recommend giving it a try! ✨

Aqui in Cupertino is amazing! They have such fresh and healthy food options. We ordered the grilled chicken burrito and the Thai burrito, and everything was so, so, so good! If you’re a fan of peanut sauce like we are, I recommend asking for extra because we couldn’t taste it as much as we would have liked, but that’s just a small tweak. One thing I didn’t take a picture of was the variety of unique sauces it came with. We had like 7-8 different choices of freshly made dips. They were incredible. I also got a margarita to go, and it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this spot for great food and drinks. We’ll definitely be back!

I have mix feelings about this restaurant. It was our first. Ordering was simple. Everything was ala carte. You pay at the counter and they give you a beeper when your food is ready. We had to pickup our food when it became available so there are no servers really. Food presented well and tasted good. Pico salsa was tasty but chips weren’t exactly my favorite. Seemed like a popular place visited by locals. It’s an upscale taqueria located at nice area, easily accessible, with adequate parking. Maybe worth a second visit.

I walked into this place with high hopes, and it didn’t disappoint. The Thai burrito was a delightful fusion of flavors, and the mango swirl was both refreshing and potent. The outdoor seating area, complete with heaters, provided a cozy atmosphere for our meal. Ordering at the counter was efficient, and our food arrived promptly. However, the lack of table service made it feel less personal, and the indoor seating area was a bit noisy during peak hours. Despite these minor drawbacks, the quality of the food and the vibrant ambiance made it a worthwhile experience
