Tasty, big portions and affordable! - Edit
The starters here are all vegan: chips, beans without queso, avocado and salsa, hummus.
Read moreI tried the Thai peanut tofu bowl and it was soooo tasty, and healthy! And not too expensive either.
Their $10 industrial strength margarita (basic with no flavor) is the best alcoholic option here 👀
Pros: Lots of vegan options., Affordable, Big portions

They keep adding new vegan options! - Edit
I have always liked Aqui. They have a veggie section of the menu and everything is clearly labeled. They even offer vegan cheese now. I love the Thai peanut tofu. Other options include lemongrass organic tofu, sweet potato flautas, falafel tacos, and roasted corn-avocado burrito. Every plate is a beautiful rainbow of plants. The salsa bar is fabulous and all salsas are vegan (but the salad dressings aren't, be careful). I don't drink but my family enjoys the industrial strength margaritas.

Limited Vegan Options - Edit
I used to love this place when I ate meat, but they are reducing their vegan options on the vegan menu. The spicy mango tofu is no more. There is 1 option that isn’t a salad or a side.

tasty, limited options - Edit
They have a special menu for vegan options, and it's quite limited if you don't eat dairy. You can always remove dairy, but the dishes are off balance. We had the spicy mango tofu bowl, and it was good. More on the spicy side. Nice portion size. 100% Organic--super cool!

Decent veg restaurant - Edit
The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are presented very prettily, but the food is overpriced and pretty bland, even for Americanized Mexican food. 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.

Pros: healthy food, nice atmosphere
Cons: crowded, bland

Casual, Veg-friendly - Edit
My first experience with Aqui was at their Campbell restaurant. The food was kind of the norm for Cal-Mex and I wasn't especially impressed. It was good, but it wasn't outstanding.
Read moreRecently 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?
Pros: Fresh / Healthy, Decent Price
Cons: Not enough Vegan Options

Yeah, their vegan options are a bit lacking. I've contacted the owner about other vegan options and was told that even items that look like they could be vegan without cheese and the like would not actually be vegan. Her reasoning was that the line cooking method they use means that there is a high likelihood that your food will unintentionally have dairy in it, and that they use a lot of dairy, cheese, and honey even in items that you wouldn't expect it to be in. Also she mentioned something about a disagreement with the chefs who are unwilling to change their recipes/methods to be more vegan friendly.
