We had the spicy mango tofu bowl, and it was good. More on the spicy side. Nice portion size. 100 Organic super cool!

I'm personally not a fan of big chunks of unflavored tofu as a protein substitute, but beggars can't be choosers! A lot of the ingredients are organic. The selection for vegans is limited, but this would be a good place to bring a mixed group omnis .

It was good, but it wasn't outstanding. Recently I went to the Cupertino restaurant with a friend, and the food is still pretty good, but leaves much to be desired for vegans. I have a feeling I'd have a much a better impression if I were lacto ovo vegetarian, and much better options. Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck with a salad or appetizers. My friend, of course, was pleased because he's omni. What is really cool is Aqui does designate the vegan dishes ingredients on their website, the down side is that the selection of vegan dishes are incredibly sparse, though I'm sure you could have some of the vegetarian dishes modified to your specifications to remedy this? Maybe?

You can have unlimited dips from here. We liked the mango habanero dip the most. Price is veryreasonable, less than $15 per person. Hand made drinks are also good and refreshing.

Whether you're craving fish, chicken, hearty entrees, salads, or amazing desserts, there's something to satisfy your taste. The margaritas are superb—make sure to try the industrial strength version or the Hornitos; you really can’t go wrong with any of them. I truly adore this restaurant, especially on weekends before concerts. Before diving into your main course, don’t miss out on the hummus, bean dip, and guacamole sampler (as pictured).
