Our New Menu Has Arrived

New Menu 07-2025

We are so excited to introduce our new menu.
The big news is we are testing Island flavors with coconut rice and grilled pineapple salsa. Roasted corn rice is temporarily out (needed space for testing) and we have changed the Chicken Taquitos to a single yellow corn tortilla for a cleaner, less oily taste and the same filling as our Free Range Chicken Enchiladas. Please review the menu carefully because your favorite item might have some changes. We are staying true to our mission of creative, real food at prices everyone can afford. We hope you enjoy our latest efforts.

An Important Update Regarding Our Waterford Plaza Location

Aqui Locations Map

To our valued Aqui family and our Communications Hill community. With heartfelt gratitude we announce

Our Aqui location at Waterford Plaza will be closing on June 29th, 2025.

We’ve been honored to serve this community since February 2019. While enjoying success at this location, we now find that it is important to accept that Aqui will be best served by having just the original 4 restaurants in the greater San Jose Area. Weird, but true! We remain ready and excited to welcome you at our 4 other nearby Aqui locations! Thank you for your incredible support. –The Aqui Team
