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.

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.

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.
