This is a "local" creation Several "Aqui's" in the area. This Mexican - California cuisine restaurant is popular. It's the type of restaurant you stand in line to order your food, find a table - pick up your food - but atypical of these kind of "serve yourself restaurant" it's amazing.. The classic "Swirl" cocktail is my favorite (Sangria + Margarita slushy) - yummy! don't have two.

Hiking, Parks & Nature
There are many nearby entrances. While you can start in Campbell and walk on a cement trail, I prefer to start in Los Gatos along the creek on dirt trail. Great 4 or 6 miler walk/hike. Equally great for run. Path options include flat or with hills. Good foot traffic - you are not alone.
