Its such a convenient location to get to, the space is so bright and cheery, and I think they even have a drive-thru for takeout orders! I also appreciate that they have a full bar, though I haven't tried their margaritas yet. For dinner, I ordered chimichangas and my husband ordered fajitas. I need to remember that chimichangas are delicious, but I prefer enchiladas. That's on me, not them. I still enjoyed them, and ate all the leftovers I brought home! My husband really liked his fajitas too. Overall this is just a good, solid Mexican restaurant. The food has been really good both times I've visited, and the service has been super friendly. I will continue to eat here anytime I'm craving Mexican food, and will continue to recommend it to others as well!

(5 stars? That's adorable. I'd give 47.)…read more I came to Pure Mex expecting tacos. Instead, I had a spiritual awakening. Our server, Ruth, did not simply "wait tables." Ruth orchestrated an experience. I am now convinced she exists outside the normal laws of physics. I'm fairly certain she can hear when a tortilla is overcooked from three zip codes away. Before I even realized I wanted another drink, Ruth had already appeared beside the table like some kind of benevolent taco guardian. I blinked once and the salsa was refilled. I blinked twice and somehow my life had direction again. The food? Incredible. But honestly, I would've eaten drywall if Ruth recommended it. That's the level of trust she inspired. Scientists should study her efficiency. NASA should recruit her. The Olympics need a "Hospitality Decathlon" because she'd retire undefeated. If she ever decides to run for president, I don't care what her platform is. She has my vote. At one point I said, "This is probably the best taco I've ever had," and Ruth smiled with the calm confidence of someone who already knew that would happen six months ago. I genuinely suspect Ruth is running at least four restaurants simultaneously using advanced cloning technology. There is no other explanation. By the end of the meal I wanted to stand up and applaud. Not because dinner was over--but because I had just witnessed greatness. The tacos were phenomenal. The margaritas were fantastic. But Ruth... Ruth is the reason legends are written. Future civilizations will uncover this Yelp review and assume she was a mythical figure, like Hercules, except armed with chips and salsa instead of a club. If you visit Pure Mex and Ruth is your server, cancel the rest of your plans. You're about to experience customer service so elite it should probably require a waiver. 10/10. Would gladly drive across state lines, through a snowstorm, and possibly a minor volcanic eruption just to have Ruth ask me, "Would you like anything else?"

4.5/5 Stars Pure Mex…read moreTacos & Tequila in Grandville was a great experience from start to finish. We kicked things off with the shrimp ceviche--and it honestly felt like there was a pound of shrimp in it... okay, maybe not quite that much! It was loaded with fresh shrimp, had incredible flavor, and was beautifully presented. A fantastic way to start the meal. For the entrée, the carne asada was cooked to perfection. The steak was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, topped with plenty of perfectly grilled onions. It came with authentic rice, beans, fresh avocado, guacamole, and warm flour tortillas, making every bite even better. We also tried the carne asada tacos, and they were outstanding. Topped with fresh pico de gallo, cilantro, and a light drizzle of crema, they were simple, authentic, and packed with flavor. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh, crisp, and exactly what you hope for at a quality Mexican restaurant. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. They also have a huge bar, and my Tito's & Sprite was served ice cold--the perfect pairing with the meal. To finish, we shared the churros served with warm chocolate dipping sauce and whipped cream. They were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the perfect sweet ending to a great meal. Pure Mex offers authentic Mexican flavors, generous portions, a fun atmosphere, and excellent hospitality. It's an easy 4.5-star experience, and I would definitely return to explore more of the menu. If you're in the Grand Rapids area, this is a spot worth checking out. Pure Mex Tacos & Tequila 4553 Canal Ave SW Grandville, MI 49418 @TheFoodie99 #restaurant

Try it; you won't regret it. Did you also know that Lindo Mexico is a woman owned business? I love that, and want to show them some love this month while Yelp supports women owned businesses.

We stopped here for cinco de mayo. It was busy but not too busy. We got seated right away…read more The atmosphere is decorated in a very festive manner with cool wall art covering many walls. The waitress was friendly and busy. The seating was a little tight depending on where you sit. Our table was almost blended into the one next to us. The food was good. The menu is partially in Mexican, so be prepared to either use a translation app or guess what you're getting based on photos. We ordered or thought we ordered the #9 lunch but got something a bit different but still very tasty. The plate was full of all the standard stuff, beans, rice, salad, main dish. The chicken under the cheese was delicious and moist. The beans and rice were flavorful without being dry. The salsa was unique. It was something of an acquired taste. The margarita flight was delicious! The prickly pear and traditional were our favorites. The blue one was a close second or third. The mango with the spicy rum was our least.

Revisited the restaurant recently and I continue to love their dishes. I enjoyed their flautas (no…read moresour cream- personal preference) and their enfrijoladas. Their food is consistent and very well plated. Service was wonderful and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is always clean and with the new design its super bright and welcoming. I also love their new menu updates and the website changes! Such a clean and fresh look. I personally like their commitment to the community and always being present at different events. Will definitely continue to visit!

They also bring out two sauces with the salsa as well which I confirmed do not contain dairy either. overall it's a good meal.

I've only come to Taco Borracho a couple times. The first time was during their soft open and the…read moresecond time, I waited almost a year to return. I know that soft opens always have a lot of kinks to work out, but given there are so many taco spots in GR now, I haven't gone back. However, after a year, I wanted to try it out! I'm happy that I did. A couple things to note: 1) Parking in the rear is available and free, though it can be a little tough to snag, so street parking is your other option. 2) It was 90+ degrees outside and the restaurant is open air. I did appreciate the patio and the garage doors being open, but I would recommend investing in a few more fans to move the air around. It definitely got a little warm at times. 3) The music was pretty loud, while a certain vibe, not necessarily something I was looking for at like 5pm on a Tuesday. I liked the decor though and the neon signs were super cute. Very trendy touch. We ordered the chips, queso and salsa to share. I really liked the queso but the salsa was a bit lacklustre for me. I felt like there wasn't enough flavor or heat, that I like in a salsa. The chips and queso though, definitely worth getting and I would order that again! I'll pass on the salsa. I also appreciated that we went during happy hour so the tacos I ordered (al pastor and carne asada) were $1.50 off each! Both delicious and the salsa verde? So good. The depth of the flavoring was what I was hoping for in the roja. Our server was really kind and attentive, I'd definitely come back again and try new things! I just prefer restaurants where I don't have to yell to hear the person I'm sitting across, but it's a certain vibe. So if you know that going in, it's not so bad.

This was my second visit, and once again, the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. That said, it was a busy Friday night, so keep that in mind. We had a 7:15 reservation and were seated in the back corner near a couple of large parties -- same spot I was placed last time, which is kind of a bummer because the bar area looked way more fun and lively. It took about 30 minutes to get our drinks, and then our food came out almost immediately after, which made the pacing feel a bit off. Our server was hustling, but strangely didn't seem to have a ton of tables. That said, the staff was friendly, the margarita flight was a great value, and the tacos hit the spot for a snacky dinner. The overall atmosphere is super cute and chill. I landed on 3.5/5 stars -- there's definitely room for redemption. The server did mention they have a weekday happy hour, and that might be the move to really get the best experience here. I'll give it another shot!

The menu is large and it was a bit busy and chaotic inside, so I just went with some of my standards: an asada taco and a barbacoa quesadilla. I also ordered a small jamaica (hibiscus drink). They also have a cooler with Jarritos and canned pop. Our food was brought out to us at our table and everything looked delicious! The steak was tender and flavorful and the tortillas were fresh. I really liked the quesadilla--it was a generous portion and had plenty of meat. I'm really glad I got to try this spot and I'd love to come back. I think they do a taco deal on Mondays. I want to try their chilaquiles!

But it was very cold inside!! You order at the counter and they serve the food. The service is great! There is an array of items you can order from and on weekends they order specialty options like Menudo. They also offer catering. Once you're done you pay at the register. Note you do pay more per item if you use a card and the fees add up! Bring cash! We had the asada taco dinner - tacos were good but the rice and beans were very bland. I loved the tortillas! We also ordered chips and salsa which was around $8 you pay for the chips and salsa separately. We were not a fan of the salsas heavy garlic flavor but that's just our personal preference. The chips were warm and seasoned! We also ordered the chorizo and papa pambazo which was amazing and not soggy at all! We ordered an asada torta as well and the bread was toasted perfectly but overall it lacked flavor. I wanted to try the queso chili relleno but they forgot to bring that. If you want an agua fresca they did seem to be popular as everyone was ordering them. We had the cucumber one and enjoyed it! Overall we paid $45 for everything which is similar to prices elsewhere. I loved the customer service here too! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I do recommend a visit!
