Wifey picked up dinner from Aqui’s, I told her to order me “ what ever” I wasn’t in the mood for figuring out menu’s this evening. She came back with a pork burrito for me with all kinds off sauces. It came with a fresh Mango salad and Aqui’s dressing of choice for the salad. Wifey also go me their Ghost hot sauce “honestly it was less then mild, very disappointing” that being said it was very good, actually I found that all 4 different sauces that I tried were very good on my burrito, the green sauce, for me, was the best My salad was very good and was of good quality. It had leafy lettuce with mango and dried cranberries. The burrito was freaking amazing!!! 5 stars all day long with huge pieces of pulled pork rice and honestly I don’t know what else they put in it, they also put some kind of sauce in there which just made it taste amazing!! Wifey also ordered Sangria “they blend ingredients with alcohol” best I’ve ever had 5 stars. Aqui’s has super good food with fresh ingredients I definitely will be back. So why 4 stars and not 5? “Trust me it was a close 5 “. But IMO if you are going to advertise Ghost sauce “Ghost peppers come in at 1 million Scoville units and is definitely not for the faint of heart” then it should be,....make my gums swell HOT or at least give me the hiccups “ all you real hot sauce eaters know exactly what I’m talking about” That being said the food, freshness,and the flavors are outstanding!!! “ Sidenote, their blanched broccoli are also very good”

This restaurant resides in the heart of Campbell downtown. There fine in as well as takeout options in this place. The ambience is really nice with tall ceilings and panoramic window panes letting in lots of sunlight and also a pleasant view into the foot traffic on the sidewalks in the downtown area. We ordered the Cotija tacquitos, Avocado roasted corn bowl, firecracker organic tofu and the cottage cheese quesadillas. For starters we ordered the Aqui sampler dip which has a trio of avocado salsa Fresca, hummus with hot sauce and black bean dips with homemade tortilla chips. The chips was really tasty and so were the three dips. I really liked the hummus with hot sauce combo. In addition there is an unlimited sauce bar with lots of varieties. I really liked the Chipotle aioli, roasted tomatillo salsa, Serrano salsa and the habanero salsa. As for the mains, the tacquitos were really tasty and filling. This was well completed by the cilantro rice and the guacamole. We had requested for the vegan option of the firecracker tofu dish and the restaurant graciously accommodated for that request. The dish really turned out to be very tasty as well. In fact all the vegetarian dishes can be made vegan upon request. The quesadillas and the corn bowl were really tasty as well. The corn bowl really brought out the sweetness of the corn in that dish. The portions were really filling and was optimal as well.

First of all, let's get one thing straight. This place is called "Aqui". It's the Spanish word for “here." I know that their poorly-designed logo makes the last letter look like an "s", but there's no such word as "Aquis" or "Aqui's." My wife and I are semi-regular customers at the Campbell location. We keep going back (mostly for lunch) because their meals are truly innovative, beautifully presented, and are an exceptional value for the money. On our most recent visit, I ordered the chef’s special grilled Pacific MahiMahi served with papaya ginger salsa on a sesame noodle cake. My wife had one of her favorites from the regular menu, the grilled shrimp and crab cake main plate served with mashed sweet potatoes and chipotle corn salsa. We shared a delicious bowl of their weekly special tomato basil soup. Since we had no room for dessert, we took home a slice of their special lemon cheesecake which we thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant is always squeaky clean with frequent bussing of tables. The staff observes all the latest COVID protocols which is reassuring these days. Grab a table on the sidewalk (great for people watching!), then order at the counter. They'll give you a buzzer when your meal is ready to pick up. Enjoy!

I was really pleasantly surprised by this place, they really delivered on every front. My food was delicious, hearty but not heavy, and priced very reasonably. They have lots of pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan options. We also got two Swirl flights and they were industrial strength as promised - white peach, paradise, and mai tai were my favourites - definitely worth it for the price as well. On top of all this, they have a salsa/sauce/toppings bar with lots of selection, and damn the salsas were good and fresh. Getting to try all these different flavours really elevated the food. They do an "order at the front and seat yourself" kinda service with the buzzers to let you know when your food is ready, which I actually like a lot. The atmosphere was like a sports bar and it was clean. I feel like in general they really operationalized the restaurant well and are able to churn out great food and drinks quickly and at a reasonable price (which feels super rare in the bay area).

Stumbled upon this place by complete accident. The highly recommended and very popular Manresa restaurant next door was closing early as the cook and several other employees had called out sick! I had driven over 30 mins to try Manresa. Needless to say I was starving and walked into Aqui. The place was so lively and smelled amazing with all the delectable aromas of food coming out. I was greeted by a lovely lady at the bar named Courtney. She kindly and patiently explained their drink and food menu to me and even allowed me to sample some of their famous swirl drinks. I settled on the Habanero Shrimp Bowl with crispy chicken added and the Mai Tai swirl. Man...that meal HIT THE SPOT! It was soooo good! My mama always says "Every disappointed is for an appointment". Nothing could be true in this instance. I'm glad Manresa's cook called out sick and that they had to close early. Otherwise, I would have never discovered this GEM of a restaurant called Aqui!!

It's lit!! They need to expand or something in this location because it's hard to get a table and seats. It took us about 10 - 15min to get a seat, so come prepared to wait. We had to wait for people to finish and there was 1 group ahead of us. The line for food was long, but the cashiers here move a little faster than most. We got our food maybe 5min after we ordered, so that was fast. The food is ok, I usually just come for the swirls. This place has a younger crowd, but also families can come here for family dinners or family unwind time with some drinks! It's a place for everybody. I dont even live in Campbell, but I always go to this one because of the above reasons. Now if you don't like a crowd, families or young people trying to get lit, your best bet is the one in San Jose and beyond. Usually dead over there, but at least you won't be bothered!
