No, they are now solid fact. Quarks are the fundamental particles which make up the protons and neutons of everything around us, as well as some other crazy particles such as the Higgs boson. There are some bosons (things made up of quarks) which are merely theoretical; we know they muct exist but have not yet found one, but quarks are definitely NOT fictional
