Pure Taco is my favorite Taco restaurant. All the food is excellent! We brought a few employees from our office over after work. Food was great! Drinks were great! Not your average taco shop, very creative menu. Must try shrimp taco’s! The General Manager and his team are vey efficient and friendly!!! I highly recommend Pure Taco!

I came here after my massage one Saturday to grab lunch. The set up is very small. You walk in to order your food and there is a full bar counter to the left ( not sure what type of drinks) The guy taking my order was super nice and friendly. I ordered a salad with shrimp, fries and a michilada. Fries were cold when they came up but I was starving so whatever. The salad was allllrigt but nothing special, I think I got a total of 4 shrimp. My drink though was on point. Would I go back , probably not. My total bill was $40. It was overpriced that’s for sure.

This taco place was quite delicious, with a nice atmosphere and very fast service. It’s a little expensive, but the global taco platter was delicious and so was the queso!

Relaxing environment with great food. Cocktails were very nice as well. Fish tacos had great flavor, as well as the veggie tacos. We really enjoyed the bar, and the heat lamps were welcomed during the rainy day.

The flour chips are unbelievable! They are the best I’ve ever had-so light and airy! The fish is very fresh. The male server gives excellent customer service. The young woman at the front counter acts annoyed.

Great service if you sit at the bar. They have a variety of tacos that I’ve never seen anywhere else. Their citrus pork and their vegetarian ones were my favorite, but we finished off a whole “flight of tacos.” Their salsa is extra spicy and their guacamole is really yummy!

Fantastic food, great drinks, atmosphere perfect, management terrible. While sitting at the bar, we heard the manager comment on an employee and her being late again. She laughed and proceeded to be on her phone, backs to us. The other bartender, having only been there a few months, apparently leaving, we know this as it was also discussed out loud, a TikTok account, etc. Again, food amazing, ambience great- just needs a new manager who is professional and requires the same of the staff.

Edit: Allergy menu needs work, but the restaurant reached out assuring us they are updating it to be accurate. Service staff was accommodating to make things right after an accidental allergy mishap.

I really liked these tacos. The tortillas were some of the best that I have had. My favorite was the veggie taco, what a great idea to have squash blossoms in there! We will definitely be back.
