Aqui Cal-Mex - Bargain Bite
Aqui's Cal-Mex is my new favorite quick service restaurant. Located in downtown Willow Glen (with 2 other locations in San Jose & Campbell), Aqui's is the perfect place to have a healthy meal when you don't want to cook or just a chill night out. They've got a great outdoor space which has been packed the last couple of visits because of the spring weather. There are plenty of heaters and a beautifully landscaped Spanish-style courtyard with a water fountain.
They have nightly specials, but the standard is an organic California-style Mexican cuisine, where entrées are all under $12. Last Friday night we decided to take our friend's advice and try the Industrial Strength Margarita-Sangria Swirl. It was awesome! 
Unfortunately for me 1/2 a glass and I was definitely feeling it. We also had the bread pudding for dessert but I wouldn't recommend it again. It was good, but more bread than pudding and not quite what I was expecting, or hoping for.
For dinner I had the chicken avocado wrap with sweet corn salsa and a side of the crab tortilla soup. Warren had the Cuban-style enchiladas with fried plantains inside. We loved our own dishes but found ourselves sneaking tastes throughout the night because they were both so tasty.
What do you think of Aqui's? What's your favorite location?
