About Aqui Willow Glen

Aqui Willow Glen offers a fusion cuisine with a lively atmosphere. The West Coast Salmon is a must-try dish. The attentive staff provides good suggestions, and the salsa bar adds extra flavor to the meal. Vegetarian options like Lime Avocado Enchiladas are available, along with decent falafel. The counter ordering system ensures quick service and easy bill splitting. Customers enjoy a strong Blended Margarita at a reasonable price while relishing the delicious Calimex fresh cuisine.

The restaurant is known for its Californian-Mexican food, reminiscent of Ándale from a decade or two ago, but with a more diverse menu than a typical taqueria. The large back patio offers a pleasant dining experience. Customers have praised dishes like Blackened Salmon with Mango and Mashed Sweet Potato, as well as Chicken and Beef Supreme Bowls. The food, service, and ambiance are generally well received, although the salsa that comes with the chips, salsa, and guacamole appetizer has been noted as the weakest part of the meal. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, including the popular California Enchiladas and Chicken Enchiladas. The Chef's Special Jerk Chicken and Flourless Chocolate Cake have received high praise from diners.

Recent reviews highlight that this is a reliable spot for Mexican food, with consistent quality and good value. Tacos are tasty, and the margaritas and sangria are decent. Service is efficient, and while the experience isn't necessarily a 'wow,' it provides a satisfying meal. Visitors appreciate the fresh and delicious dishes, especially the roasted chili salsa, which is highly recommended. The busy atmosphere ensures food is always fresh, and the place is suitable for groups, even if some find the metal chairs loud on the high ceiling floor. One customer enjoyed a vegetarian dish with added chicken, featuring sweet potatoes, rice, corn, and kale—described as very tasty. Parking is convenient with free street and lot options, and the inside seating is ample, with a lively but comfortable atmosphere for conversations.
