Now this is fast, delicious, and well priced food! I love Aqui in Cupertino and decided to come to this location to eat and I love it! The patio is great: it has the perfect temperature and atmosphere. The chicken burrito with a bowl of soup is an excellent combo for an excellent price. Normally I go to a $12-17 per meal restaurant and have a non memorable and mediocre meal, but not here!
The chicken burrito is a great value, the chicken fajitas are a great premium option but need more beans cause they’re a little dry, and the tomato fennel soup is quite tasty! Pick any Aqui and you’re sure to have a great food experience that is not boring and features lots of ingredients to create a unique and delicious taste.

Food was good and the drinks were great. Parking is a little tight, but it’s not their fault because they share it with other businesses so you can’t really hold that against them. Just something they’d be mindful of if you’re meeting someone not to get there late. Definitely returning.

Went in around 6:10pm on a Thursday. No problems parking, there’a free street parking at rhe front and free parking lot at the back. The inside was packed but seats were immediately available inside and outside near the street and at the back. And by 7pm there were seats available inside.
Food was good, ordered the crab cake w/ enchiladas & adobo chicken burrito. I especially loved the crab cakes.
Service was solid, you order and pay for your food at the counter immediately and wait for your number to be called via those alarm hockey puck things. Order was ready fairly quickly at around 15 minutes.
Atmosphere was great, no obstructive music and the place was excellent for loud conversations.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. We live in the east bay but make it a point to come here often. My in laws live on the east coast and make it a point to eat here when they visit!!

Food Order: Adobo Chicken Fajitas, Tandoori Spice Chicken and Nachos with Salsa.
Drinks: Sangria Swirl and Maker’s Mark Manhattan.
Firstly, the chain is weird. Why should the dine-in customer go to a counter/cashier and place the order and bring the food to the table? Might as well give the fresh ingredients and make us do the whole dish *experience*.
Secondly, All dishes tasted good but I think Aqui is taking “Californian take on Mexican cuisine” a little too far. Like adding whole grapes on Tandoori Spice Chicken plate ? And it’s made out of breaded chicken?? Last time I had tandoori chicken it was smoked out. Breaded is crazy.
Loved the drinks.
Aqui made the restaurant look like a school mess hall.

Nice outdoor seating area in the back. Food is reasonably priced compared to other restaurants. Order at the counter so easy to split checks and order individually. You get a buzzer and the food comes up quickly. Margaritas are good and very strong.

My uncle recommended this Mexican restaurant and it did not disappoint. Very good food, generous serving. We had take outs too. A bit noisy and crowded but still okay because space is big.

Such delicious food for a reasonable price. We ate outside on the terrace in December and enjoyed our meals so much. The ingredients taste fresh and it’s all very well prepared. I love meals that aren’t just a meal but taste like an adventure. Aqui fits that bill.

What happened to the chicken they use in their dishes. My Southwest Caesar salad with grilled chicken is a disappointment with the weird, processed huge chicken pieces with the grill marks. It’s gross. I love this place but I cannot eat my favorite dish any more. Disappointed in Willow Glen.
