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.

Love, Love, Love the 1:1 assistance. Owners and staff personable and help you find items/complete outfits for any occasion! Ask for Jean who is my favorite Stylist!

Essentials / Groceries

We call this the "Secret Safeway" because the "main" Safeway is on Pine Ave - before that street turns into Hamilton (once Pine crosses Meridian).. Secret Safeway on Bird Ave. is in a shopping center with great takeout / dine in options (Chinese, NY Pizza, Mexican, etc), Pilates exercise Studio (Pilates V), and Barber and Lashes...and Nail Salon - great little shopping center that my favorite "secret Safeway" is in!

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.

Amazing Barre meets Pilates class. The environment here is what i refer to as "my safe zone" amongst women comrades - super zen especially at the end of class. I recommend booking in advance to ensure a spot! But you do sometimes luck out just dropping in!
