The menu dazzles with a variety of dishes that capture the essence of Mexican street food using high-quality ingredients and bold seasonings.

These sides boast rich textures and fresh flavors that linger deliciously on the palate.

Pure Taqueria also offers a delightful selection of desserts that feel like the perfect sweet finale to a satisfying meal.

Traditional churros dusted with cinnamon sugar and paired with chocolate pudding, along with fried plantains drizzled in sweetened cream, round out the dessert offerings with authentic, comforting tastes.

    Pure quickly became one of my favorites after visiting once. I love the layout and option of outdoor but still indoors dining. Reminds me of bareburger back home. The menu had so many tasty options. The food tasted so deliciously amazing and came out super fast. Our drinks were perfectly mixed, and our waiter was attentive and had a great smile. You all are doing a great job @ Pure! Keep it up.

    Came here on Sunday for Mother's Day. The host and server were friendly. Although tables were available, we opted to be seated at the table with chairs. The bar stools and high tables with stools were not suitable for my 6'2" husband. We had about a 15-minute wait. The host did inform us that after a busy lunch crowd, they were out of queso. Being our first time there, that didn't stop us as we noticed a few group of people left once they heard that. We didn't get the house chips and salsa as well. The skinny love margarita on the rocks I ordered was good. For Mother's Day, the restaurant gave all moms a free meal. That was a nice treat! I got the fried shrimp tacos. The shrimp were nice size and fried well. The corn tortilla was a little tough and fried on the outer edges. The citrus slaw topping was average, but the Chipotle mayo and green salsa had a medium spice level. I got a side of plantain. They were delicious. My husband got the lamburguesa with a side of fries. The burger did not have a strong game taste. It was cooked too well. The fries were soft but had a great taste from the seasonings. Overall, the restaurant has an upscale hip vibe with outdoor & indoor seating that serves those looking for something off beat from your typical Mexican food.

    We have been here three times now and all great experiences. The service was phenomenal and helpful in trying to figure out what to eat. So many good options. They have fantastic drinks too! There’s indoor/outdoor seating. This will happen again.

    Been here twice, first time was better experience since I got better food choices. First time, I got the tostada and ceviche, Loved the ceviche a lot. Second time, I went for the tacos, they were not bad but definitely could be better. Corn tortilla was too oily for some reason and the meat had a lot of fat, it was ok but will not order rhat again. My husband and I liked our cocktails though, it was not watered down. I did love the interior and the vibe of this place, very much like a colorful classroom with dessert vibes. This place could get noisy since they play music a little loud plus a lot of people going in. Plenty of parking spots. This won’t be my first choice for a date night but might go again. Also, theyre pet friendly!

    Tried Pure Taqueria for the first time. 7/10 More upscale then what i wanted...guess I perfer the Traditional Mexican restaurants more. Food was ok...ordered the chicken quesadilla, chicken was great, just too much bread for the shell. When I said no beans didn't know I wouldn't get the rice. Guess I didn't think when she asked if I'd like fries instead. Friend seemed to enjoy her food. You need to pay for the chips and salsa. Lemon Drop shot was really good. Probably top 3 in area Service was great, Bartender was amazing Wasn't busy when we got there at 5 but definitely got crowded later. Restaurant was clean and open. I would come back if in that area but won't go out of my way to visit soon. But there were a couple more dishes I'd like to try in the future.

    Great atmosphere, we sat outside on the patio with a nice breeze. Great selection of beers and specialty cocktails. The skinny margaritas are so fresh and lite. The guacamole and chips were fresh and delicious. I rated 4/5 due to my grilled grouper tacos. They were ok in taste but portion size of fish and toppings was disappointing.

    I am so disappointed our location is closing. This has been one of our go to for girls lunch/dinner. The food is ahhhmazing and the drinks are even better. Service has always been great. If you hear anyone complaining, it’s truly because they are used to the cheap Mexican restaurants around town. I wish they would consider another location before closing down.
