We were standing in line to order and there were only a few people ahead of us but the bartender came over and asked if we would like to order at the bar so we didn’t have to wait as long. Great food and great service. The best chips and salsa of any Mexican restaurant.

The food here is awesome! Im a vegetarian and there are so many options for veg! I feel its gut friendly and also sometimes diet friendly (based on what you are eating). They now have bite sizes and I can order fried veggies uas well and eat along!! I have no complaints about them but just a small request to always have their delicious “Flourless chocolate cake”. They don’t seem to have it during the holiday seasons But apart from that, they are awesome in food varieties, taste, cleanliness and service!! Will continue to be their customer forever!

Service is amazing. Matcha Mango handmade swirl is delicious. And it’s only $9. Best deal in San Jose.

What you see is what you get, no complaints here. I was pleasantly surprised by the crab cake salad, not in love with the chips but not bad either. The service was pretty quick but such a crowded place, felt more like a cafeteria. Enjoyable experience, the swirls are strong and worth trying, fun atmosphere if you are with a group of friends.

This was our second time in Aqui, and you gotta try this place!
It has a welcoming ambiance, the hosts are friendly. The food is good, but my favorite thing about this place is of course their special drinks, swirls!
Amazing cocktails! If you’re like me and don’t wanna taste alcohol in your drink you should give this is a try. Make sure to have a DD tho, the drinks are pretty strong! You’ll get tipsy with one!
You also get to try different types of dressings for free. You cannot go wrong with that

Wow! Great food and super reasonable prices. A bit weird to have hummus, black bean dip and guacamole together but they made it work and have the best chips. Watch out for the margaritas, 1 felt like 3.

A pretty big restaurant with a great atmosphere.
Menu is diverse, and you can make changes to the dishes to your liking.
Drinks are refill, and there is a variety of sauces and salsa for free.
We took the avocado dip, lemon crispy chicken, and the tri-tip beef with mashed beans.
Everything was delicious though prices are a little bit high, but in our opinion, it’s worth it.
Employees were super nice!
Definitely will come again.

Groovy place, definitely not what I initially expected going in, the food was great, fish tacos were awesome and so are the swirls. Careful getting the strong one make sure you have someone as DD! Also quite enjoyed the aqua fresca on tap! Food also came quick so a great place for lunch! Overall great spot for some Mexican food with a California spin.

We took my MIL for her birthday. This was her choice. Service was great. Nice open floor plan with many different choices of seating. Bar, booth, indoor and outdoor. Restaurant was very clean and the people were friendly. I ordered the Blackened Salmon with Sweet Potatoes and it was every bit of heaven as it looks in the picture.
