I ordered food on accident to the other location; I didn't realize this at the time. When I went in…read moreto pick up my food they said oh you probably ordered at the other location. I called that location and asked to cancel that order as it would have made my trip an hour (round trip) they said you could cancel but that they were in the process of making the food. I said I cant cause of said trip and that I mean to order at the other location and would like to. At which point the hung up abruptly. I went inside to which the store in battle creek called the one in augusta to bar me from ordering. I was told I can't order since I had an order in progress. What amazing service!!!! I could have conceivably had the other person in my car go in and order, but I did (what I thought was right) and cancelled so I could order to the restaurant I mean to. Needless to say, I will never go to this establishment, happy they didn't have my card information because I'd expect some charges on cancelled orders. Don't go there mistake number one.

I recently learned this was a regular spot of my dad's, was there almost weekly…read more Got to try it for the first time. We had a large party and it was catered in. The corn tacos were okay, hard to eat with the shredded chicken. Chips and salsa are ok. Guacamole would have made it even better, as the shells broke after a bite and got soggy from the liquid. The chicken itself wasn't bad, not super flavorful. The queso was quite runny, purely liquid. Some onions or cilantro would have been nice condiment adds.

It's a fun casual and extremely colorful little restaurant. They can accommodate both small parties and large groups. Smells amazing the instant you walk in and are greeted by the super friendly staff! The menu is massive which is why I didn't take pictures of all of it, but it is available on their website. She and her son usually both go with chimichangas so who was I to question it? I chose the steak fajita chimichanga and oh my goodness it was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life! We loved it so much that we ordered it to go again a couple days later! Whether you're dining in or taking it home, you cannot go wrong when you choose Pure Mex! If you're ever in the area make sure you stop in!

The only downsides I see is lack of dishes that are served with queso (maybe that's not ethnic and that's why?! ;)) and also the chips. They seem more like chips from the grocery store than fresh and homemade. Every time we have been in they have multiple specials for that day - we often try one of them and find new things we like there! We also really like the fish tacos, the sauce is so delicious!!

I had a 2 enchiladas and 1 taco special. "Spicy" refers to red or green sauce on the envhiladas. Chicken was shredded almost into individual strands and beef is simple ground beef.
