MMmmm! Aqui is our FAVORITE Willow Glen spots where we can eat cheap and chill on the back patio with SERIOUSLY STRONG margaritas . Don't tell anyone but If theres a long line .... ORDER AT THE BAR :-)
Use to work on the one in SanJose, off Blossom Hill and Snell. You will not find any margarita ANYWHERE that will beat this places wide selection of them. Full bar great prices for lunch and dinner .
Get the avocado dip , but separate from the salsa so you can control distribution. Also get the adobo chicken quesadilla . The swirls are strong - not particularly tasty.
The swirls are great. The avocado dip is lovely. And the patio is an amazing place to sit on a summer or fall evening.
No matter what you order get the chips and salsa . The salsa bar is the best in town . Also, if you haven't been here before, lurk by where the food comes out before you order.
Don't understand why the customers have to find for our own table instead of them seating the people! If it's in a quiet restaurant then fine. It's always hectic hunting for a table.
Awesome cocktails and spectacular fresh cal-mex food. Always check out the specials boards!
The daily specials are usually really good. Go hang out in the Saddle Bar and treat yourself to a top shelf margarita .
The blackened salmon was super yummy. Drinks can be a bit strong though...
Don't miss their swirl drinks – they're a bomb of awesome that will leave you feeling pretty darn tipsy after just one.
Carnitas breakfast was very good. Recommended!
Venison enchilada special was delightful. Sangria was great. Patio was cool and pleasant. Recommended.
No matter what you order to eat, be sure to try the Cadillac Margarita . You're welcome.
Swirls are amazing and try the specials!
I almost always have one of their daily specials and am almost always impressed. Great mexican / california style food. Overall, very healthy and tasty!
Great for family dinner nights, dates, hangouts, or even just a meal by yourself.
Crab cake salad and blackened chicken quesadillas are fab. Industrial strength margaritas are awesome and a strong !
Love the lemon chicken salad and the pork enchiladas ! Ohh... and the flourless chocolate cake is aH-mazing!
Order a Margarita or Swirl. They spike the drinks so they are super strong . You will get your buzz on with one drink for sure.
The Chef Specials have never disappointed me at lunch , they always have a choice no matter where u stand on the food chain.
Make sure to get a swirl! Also you can't go wrong with any of the tortilla wraps , nice and spicy
Top shelf margaritas and chips & salsa , avocado dip at the bar are a great start to Saturday afternoon!
Margaritas are hella strong !! Me likely!! Cashiers can be a tad bitchy though. Lol
The Honey Habenero salsa is delicious and spicy . I get an extra pot to go and mix it with oatmeal for breakfast .
It's a really happening place. You really can't go wrong with anything here
Cool place, if busy, be prepared to stand around waiting for a table since first come, first serve!!!!!!
Bring your empty bowl of chips to the cashier/kitchen staff for free refills. :)
Found Adobo Fajitas as Yum Yum. Try it and dish on it at http://dishonit.com Read more

Potato & Cheese Enchiladas with the awesome Chunky Avocado dip and salsa from the salsa bar . Also the Industrial Margarita (on the rocks) rocks!
Try the potato and cheese enchiladas . Have their amazing free lemonade (free refills). Polenta options are great if you're not doing wheat!
The potato and cheese enchiladas are the best.
Guac is delicious, so were the flautas
Tacos . Burritos . Guacamole . Margaritas .
I don’t understand why this place was fully packed. It was one of the worst food I had in a long time. Margarita on the rocks wasn’t bad. I guess people go there for the drinks. Food is disgusting!
Margarita on the rocks wasn’t bad. Would recommend the place for the drinks and the Aqui sampler . Avoid the Vegetarian enchilada they are undercooked, cold and bland
Try the Thai Peanut Salad - Tasty
Order a swirl from Claudia!!!
Get take out from here and buy beer from BevMo next door while you're waiting.
Try a strawberry lemonade . It's delish!
Try the swirl! Ask bartender for flavor
Always check the specials board: very inventive Cal Mex fusion
