    One of our favorite places in Allendale. The food is to die for, especially their salsa, which we think they changed the recipe for in the last year. I always go for the three cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. The servers are great and so sweet! There is one guy that has been there for like two years now and he's awesome! They are always so welcoming at the door and the place is usually clean. A staple for GV families to eat at!

    Always up for Mexican food. They allowed us to sit on the patio. It does sit by the road but it is shaded and has trees around it so it didn't seem too loud. The service was great! They came often to check on us. The chips and salsa were good. Not the best chips ever but I had two bowls, so obviously I can't complain. Some heat in the salsa they bring out too. I found the menu varied and some similar items cheaper than at other restaurants. They pack the chimichangas with so many tasty fillings and still give the side options. Also had grilled tacos; simple but actual grill marks and good flavor. I Would definitely come back here.

    El Azteca in Allendale seemed... fine. Fine Americanized Mexican food. Both the menu and the decor reminded me of El Burrito Loco in Grand Rapids on Alpine Ave. Pros: -Host asked if we would prefer a table or booth; appreciate that. -Food came out quickly. -Enchiladas and Fried Ice Cream were good. -Our server and another staff member I interacted with were nice. -Cute, colorful decor. Cons: -Ambient sound was very loud - noise of voices and blender, bouncing around in hard tiled room, rose to bothersome levels. -Server left some dirty plates on the table, even after bringing dessert. -Server did not bring extra plate for shared dessert, so we had to ask a second time. -The menu is so large, I left wondering, what is good here? What's the specialty? I would shrink the menu and concentrate on improving the food / giving the menu some focus.

    Cute chairs and nice bars !

    Great food! Service is sometime a little slow but worth the wait. They really need to hire more employees especially on the weekends.

    We just love this place!…read more We drive from the Kalamazoo area for this experience after being hooked by the Richland location that has been closed for remodeling for a while. Of course, as with any great Mexican restaurant, you are greeted with delicious chips and salsa shortly after being seated - pure Mex has some of the best!! They'll refill at your request! Also ask for some of the house hot sauce as that only elevates the flavors! We have honestly loved everything we've tried from Pure Mex, and that is much of their menu, but some of our favs are the queso fundido, the Anaheim tacos, the fish tacos, Choripollo, and Arroz con with whichever protein you love most, or a combo of them all!! :) And of course, the MARGARITAS!!! So fresh and so good, every single time! The service at Pure Mex is always friendly and usually very fast!! The atmosphere is clean, open, and feels trendy! We love the side of the dining room that is screened in, where the windows can lift and let the fresh air flow! Give this place a try, from someone whose absolute favorite cuisine is Mexican, I think it's very unlikely that you'll be disappointed! :)

    Saturday was our first visit to Pure Mex. Four of us went on a busy night but were seated right…read moreaway. The ambiance is terrific! Bright and lively with a huge bar. The menu is extensive with everything you can imagine and then some. The signature items are exceptional. We began with draft Modelo. Icy cold!! We ordered jalapeño poppers to start - spicy and delicious. Two of us shared chicken fajitas which were huge, moist and flavorful. There were lots of condiments provided. Yum! The chicken enchiladas dinner was devoured quickly! The highlight was a signature pork dish with fried plantains! Amazing! It came with tortillas avacado and rice and beans. I've never seen anything like it on a menu before. I told the manager that this is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at!! We finished with churros and leche cake! Our server Emma was sweet and friendly. I can't wait to go back.
