Aqui Willow Glen

Great experience with the adult family and puppy. The self serve aspect lends to an economical table of food. The place was busy tonight, service was efficient, food and drinks invoke a return visit!

Good Californian-Mexican food. Reminds me of Ándale a decade or two ago. Again, this is not your traditional taqueria, with a more diverse menu. Good prices and ambience makes this a great spot on Willow Glen.

This is a reliable spot for Mexican food. I appreciate the consistent quality of their dishes and the good value for the price. The tacos were tasty, and both the margaritas and sangria were decent. Service was efficient. While it's not necessarily a 'wow' experience, you're sure to get a satisfying meal here.

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.

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.

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.

The food here is SO GOOD. We ordered the California enchiladas, chicken enchiladas and the chef's special jerk chicken. The flavors were spot on and everything tasted really fresh. There's a good number of vegetarian/vegan options as well. But imo, the best part was the flourless chocolate cake. Did not expect it to be as good as it was - it was somehow decadent and light at the same time. The coffee flavor really brings out the chocolate, and the texture is amazing. It somehow looks like cake but melts in your mouth. Can't wait to go back!

This is one of my favorite spots! I especially love their California enchilada. Every few months I find myself going back here—it’s a must. They have plenty of veggie options, and the food is always fresh and delicious.
