Nicole Erin B.

Impressed by the portion sizes and relatively moderate prices of these tasty tacos. The corn tortillas tasted fresh but were a little undercooked which led to a soggy bottom from all the filling. The chicken and pork tacos were both tender and flavorful with generous portions of guacamole. A lot of the seating is indoor/outdoor style which is a great place to enjoy fresh air but also stay shaded. The menu is clearly labeled with allergens including gluten free and vegetarian. Definitely will return!

Skinny Margarita, $12 and Pure Marg, $12

While I'd been to a few other restaurants and coffee shops on this street and in this area, I'm only discovering Pure Taco now -- perhaps because we usually don't seek counter-service eateries; desiring a small, quick bite, we decided to stop in. We learned, however, seated at the bar top, it's full service... and while I didn't plan on a cocktail, my thoughts are it's wrong not to order a cocktail seated at the bar top! I don't like cocktail mixes; appreciatively, no mixes were used in my Skinny Margarita ($12), which was quite (almost too) tangy but thankfully, not sweet. Hubby enjoyed his Pure Marg ($12) -- both cocktails surprisingly (and deliciously) strong. We started with their Corn in a Cup ($6.95) -- with an option to be served with chips (which were enjoyably thick & crispy, and learned that the tortillas are made daily). In addition, they use fresh fish (never frozen). The Baja Fish Tacos (2/$5) and their Grilled Fish Taco ($5.75) consisted of generous planks of fish, served within thick corn tortillas. We had the pleasure of being served by Osheana, whose positive energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of their menu items made our first visit a fun and enjoyable one! I like the open-&-airy, indoor/outdoor, casual vibe and reasonable prices. We're now fans of Pure Taco.

Went in around happy hour on a Thursday. It is seat yourself setting and order at the counter. The staff was friendly and helpful. Food came out quickly. Ordered the Full Taco Flight. Happy hour deals are drinks, fries, a nacho, or quesadilla. No tacos are part of the current happy hour.

I saw Pure Taco when I was across the street at a coffee shop. So we decided to visit on a taco Tuesday. The specials were amazing--buy three get one free for tacos, discounted beers, AND free chips and salsa w every order. It was lit... Now you know I'm a self proclaimed taco expert, so I have high standards. I ordered two Baja fish tacos and the green curry shrimp taco (sounded interesting!). The service was great, and the guy that helped us was really nice and friendly! Now for the tacos...I give the fish taco a 6 out of 10. The main issue is that they were not hot. Actually, none of the tacos were hot. They were all lukewarm...which is unfortunate. The second issue was the amount of liquid running off the tacos. I guess the slaw was in liquid and it wasn't drained prior to putting it in the tacos. So this made what was supposed to be a crispy fish taco into a soggy, lukewarm situation of a taco. And lastly, the tortilla was a miss for me. It was house made corn tortilla but it was either too thick or not all the way cooked. It had a chewy texture to it. All that aside, the seasoning and flavor of the fish taco was great. For the shrimp curry taco, I'd give that a 4 out of ten. There's actually nothing wrong with the taco--I just did not enjoy the sweetness of it. The presentation was also not great. It looked like a blob of white sauce on a tortilla (see photos). Adding the lime helped somewhat and elevated the taco to a 6, but if it was hot, it could have been a 7. The chips, salsa and guacamole were excellent!

Went to the Carlsbad street fair, and stopped off here to eat as they had open seats at the bar. If you sit at the bar it's full service, or if you are sitting at a table you must go up and order at the counter. It's not a huge place and most of the tables were for small parties. Thankfully it was just me so I had no problem finding a spot at the bar. It did take them a minute to take my order, but they were a bit busy. The server did offer to get my drink for me from the self-service station, which I really appreciated and took her up on. They have tacos, burritos, bowls, Etc. I ordered the battered fish tacos, and the steak taco, the cilantro lime rice, and the black beans. Both of the tacos were really good, but the rice was pretty bland. It didn't really taste like much, and seems more like a filler. The beans were black beans, they didn't have refried beans, but we're pretty good. They did kind of taste like they needed salt, but since you have to go get all of the condiments from a separate area I didn't want to leave my food unattended so I ate them as was. Honestly though they were fine even without the salt, I'm just a girl that likes a little salt and most of her food LOL. I would like to try one of their bowls, maybe the next time I'm in the area or at the street fair. I did notice they had a taco Tuesday, and a decent happy hour, which would be great if you live or work in the area. If you do I definitely say check them out.

It's a solid taco shop featuring a modern fusion of flavors! Pure's menu is a melting pot of various global cuisines, but delivered in classic Mexican dishes like tacos, burritos, nachos and salads. The staff is great and the open air order-at-the-counter setup screams SoCal. I've a lot of menu items, but some of my favorites include the Baja Fish Taco, Korean Pork Bo Sam Taco, Salmon Bowl and Pure Greens Salad. If you're thirsty, they have a full bar, beer, wine and Dole Whip for those with a sweet tooth. Try their Pure Marg! It's made with an orange simple syrup that packs unique flavor. Don't miss out. Try it for yourself!

2.5 stars... The hubs and I wanted Mexican food for lunch so we decided to try Pure Taco since we were in the area. The space is cute, mostly outside with inside bar seating. They have a full bar and a wide choice of tacos but its more like a fast food restaurant... Chips and salsa are not complementary, so we chose the nachos and added beef. We also ordered the avocado fries. To drink, we tried the Paloma and the Pure Marg. The service...our server/bartender seemed disinterested and preoccupied with finding the right channel on the TV. She only checked in with us after we were done eating. The food...everything looked/tasted like it came out of a can/bag/jar. Nothing was good. The drinks...also tasted like pre-made mixes and bottled juices...not good. Will not be returning and do not recommend.

I love that it's an affordable casual quick order place you go up to the register order. Find a cute seat. Seating is mostly outdoors and they bring the food to your table. They have a stellar deal of two fish tacos for five dollars every day and they are good sized! I would say this is a really affordable place for the area. You can tell the tortillas were freshly made. It seems like it's a California Mexican type place. I would definitely go there again for a quick bite! It looks like they also had a full bar.

This is a solid spot for global tacos in the heart of Carlsbad. You order at the counter, self serve drinks, and they bring the tacos out to you. I liked in the indoor outdoor vibes - classic San Diego surfer Carlsbad. I wanted to try as many flavors as possible so I ordered the traditional 1/2 flight. I got four tacos: grilled steak, pulled chicken, pastor, citrus braised pork. I really enjoyed the grilled steak and citrus braised pork. Tortillas were a touch thick for me. Also ordered chips with guacamole and salsa and enjoyed them as an appetizer. My tacos came out pretty quickly. Next time, I'm looking forward to trying the global 1/2 flight.

Nell C.

Salads were overdressed and salty today. Mixed greens salad was hard to consume and wish that I got the dressing on the side. Salad leaves were fresh and topped with grated cheese.

We were spending the day in Carlsbad and wanted to grab a bite to eat. Walking down State Street Pure Taco caught our eye. At Pure Taco you place your order and pay at the register and then you seat yourself at a table and your order is delivered to your table. We opted to sit at the bar which is full service. We ordered the braised pork burrito and the Baja fish burrito. My fish burrito was more rice than fish but was still good but we did come pretty hungry. Adding some Tapatio to the burrito gave it more flavor as it was a bit bland for my liking. Based on our burritos the food was a 3-31/2 but the bartender's service and friendliness and ambiance bumped my rating to a 4. I would definitely try this place again but next time I would try their tacos since it seems to be their specialty given the place is called "pure taco".

Billie B.

The Caesar salad was enough for two or three and delicious. I had the halibut taco which was small but full of fish and very good. My husband had the California burrito but could only eat half. There is no table service. You order a they bring it to your table.

Zach H.

Food is actually very good, even for SoCal Mexican food standards. But it is literally crazy that they don't have in house salsa. Asked for salsa and was given pico... won't be back but service and food was good. Need to have salsa made from scratch in SD.....

If I would have written this review when Pure Taco opened, it would have been 5 star. My family and I loved it, the food was good and the service was smiley and very helpful. The manager always came by to thank us for coming and we felt welcome. Then something changed. The super friendly nice manager was replaced by a brooding, rude and unpleasant man. He would come by and make comments about how many tacos my husband was eating, how he hated the Dodgers (when he saw a sticker on my phone) and generally just made it uncomfortable to be there. We still came though just because we enjoyed the food and location. But now even the food seems to have suffered. They used to offer an organic apple juice with the kids meal and then downgraded to regular apple juice. The ketchup changed from a name brand to some off brand. The chicken tacos were just ok where as before we loved them. I'm guessing maybe some corners were cut in the kitchen as well. So what started as us going as a family every Friday night turned into a maybe we will stop by if we are desperate and its convenient. It felt to us like all the downgrading started with the new manager. I hope that it turns around as we started out loving it! read more

The food is absolutely fantastic!! If I were just reviewing the food it would be 5 stars however sadly I am not, the service is absolutely horrible. Tonight, I went for dinner...the female "manager" kept yelling at the younger male bartender to clock out because of labor laws. There is a way to ask someone to clock out, meanwhile that same manager, whose shirt was half buttoned and bra exposed, had a gentleman at the end of the bar where I was sitting and was kissing him right next to myself and other patrons. I mean, talk about unprofessional. Finally, after I received my food I was never checked on again even though I was at the bar because the bartender was too busy taking shots with other patrons, who I am assuming he knew. I believe professionalism has been thrown out the window at this point. I am posting this review after several times of trying to give this place a chance, at this point I'll just keep my business with Barrio on grand, great food and much better service! I understand there is a workforce shortage, however as a HR manager I know you can do better hiring. Carlsbad deserves better! read more

Food was great, it was awesome. The service is awful, the worst I have ever experienced. My partner and I have gone x2 now. The first time, the bartender; treated myself and my partner with disrespect. We politely asked her to change the channel to a sports game and she gave us tons of attitude. This lasted throughout the service - ordering drinks, dinner, etc. Thinking this was a flaw, we went a second time. Once again, the food was excellent, however, the service was awful. The bartender was yelling at her staff telling them how terrible of a job they were doing, even though to us, everything was running smoothly. After our meal, I asked for the check and the bartender asked for my card. I asked for the check again and she goes "you want me to just list everything for you"? Never again will I return as I feel ashamed to return as a Carlsbad local. I will never recommend this place to any friends, family, or tourists. I will also call tomorrow to complain to the owner regarding the service. read more

always looks very busy- thought I would get a takeout order corner and try it out. Was not impressed nor was the rest of my family. We are spoiled with the delicious food from Barrio around the corner. PureTaco seasoned chicken burrito tasted a bit weird, it was how the shredded chicken was marinated, could not identify the seasonings. California burrito meat was tough, noting special to speak of... the seasoned black beans, ok, but again, not a Mexican flavor but goes well with their Basmati white rice that could have used more Cilantro. Maybe these foods were not meant to have a Mexican seasoning? And ordered soft tortillas which I thought would be a regular size- 8 to 10 inches? these were teeny tiny thin 4 inch flour tortillas. with no flavor. What do you do with a 4 inch tortilla? read more

The food was tasty, but the portions were VERY small. The kids meal comes with a side of beans and rice, and each side was in a to-go sauce container cup that was probably 2 oz. There was 1 taco with shredded chicken, nothing else in the taco. My daughter said the taco was the tiniest taco she ever saw. My bowl was ok, tasty, but if I didn't order a side of fries I would be hungry. Food was ok, portions were very small. read more

This is a very cute place with great food. We were happy to have the parking to the rear. I had the Pure Margarita that I thought was a bit on the juicy side. I would probably try something different next time. My kids had steak and chicken tacos, made to order (they're picky) and they loved them. I had the chicken taco and fish tacos, delicious. My husband had two steak tacos and thought they were great. The tacos are a bit pricey for the street tacos size. You might make up for it with free chips & salsa. We had chips and salsa. The chips came in a single serve bowl on top of a lined tray. Save some money and don't use the bowls, just use the paper lined tray. The bowl was out of place anyway. read more

Came in here randomly one afternoon, I am a big fan and eater of tacos. I ordered a carne asada taco and an al pastor taco, came out to something like $10.70? I was expecting. Decent sized taco for the price but was stunned when I was given two small street tacos- something I usually pay $1.99 for. Both tacos came with 1 over cooked tortilla and not much meat. The al pastor was good, and had pineapple on it which I enjoyed. The carne asada however was very dry, and the fat slab of guacamole was bitter as heck. It made the taco hard to eat honestly, but I was starving and didn't want to waste the $5 I spent on the tiny taco. The bar scene (which I didn't sit at) and atmosphere was nice though. Place is way to expensive, and one taco was gross and the other just okay. read more

My wife said she'd never really liked anything she got there, but I said let's give them another try. Counter service was meh. No personality. No greeting. Just took the order and sent us on our way. Her attitude seemingly got worse after I didn't tip. (I do NOT tip at a counter place where I do all the refills and bus my own table.) We got their a 8:30 and they had to put the coffee out because we ordered it. All the bar stools in the front were all upside down on the tables. I'm sure we could have pulled them down, but come-on. It's 8:30 on a Sunday morning. Put your damn chairs down. My wife ordered the Al Pastor scramble served American style (hash browns & toast). The portion was small (no WAY that was three eggs), and the al pastor meat pieces were lacking flavor. The hash browns were barely cooked. She said, "this is what I was talking about." $17 or so. I ordered the breakfast burrito allegedly with chicken fried steak in it. $17 for JUST a burrito with no sides. I tasted no evidence of CFS, but I did taste some sausage gravy. It was a generously sized burrito. I will also add that their salsas go from NO heat (fresca) to super heat. Nothing in the middle. And one of the hot salsas was just yuck. (The one with all the pepper flakes in it.) The other tasted OK. They had carrots & jalapeños at the salsa bar, but tiny cups to put them in, so... Anyway... I like the surf and turf here, but everything else just seems meh. In a town with so much good Mexican food, I'll go elsewhere. The drive-through around the corner would have been cheaper and tastier.

One check included pretzels, mac & cheese, a salad, buffalo wings, and a beer. Our check was supposed to include pretzels (for our kids to share), shrimp tacos (for my husband and me to share), and a beer. When our food arrived, the pretzels for our kids never came out. It didn't make sense that our check only had shrimp tacos and a beer--were our kids just supposed to sit there without food? Not once did our waitress come back to check on us or ask if everything was okay. Eventually, a busser walked by and we asked him about the missing pretzels. He said he would find our waitress, but instead a different waitress came over and actually asked if she had been the one who took our order because she couldn't remember. She said she'd check on the pretzels, but after another 15 minutes, my husband had to get up and tell her that if they weren't ready, to just forget it. A few minutes later, she finally brought them out. After that, no one checked on our table again. We had to track someone down just to get our bill, and we never saw our original waitress for the rest of our meal. Overall, this was some of the worst service we've experienced. It wasn't just the forgotten food--it was the complete lack of communication and attention to our table. We won't be returning, and unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

The atmosphere at Pure Taco is relaxed and inviting, with a laid-back vibe that perfectly complements the restaurant's focus on fresh, healthy ingredients. The interior is tastefully decorated with vibrant colors and natural elements, creating a warm and inviting space that feels both modern and cozy. The seating options at Pure Taco include both indoor and outdoor areas, giving diners a choice between a more intimate indoor setting or an al fresco dining experience in the beautiful Southern California weather. Let's cut to the chase - the margaritas at Pure Taco in Carlsbad are a must-try. They're flavorful and well-balanced, with just the right amount of tequila and citrus. I highly recommend trying the Pure Marg which includes Blanco tequila, orange rind, fresh lime juice and Grand Marnier. The margaritas at Pure Taco are simply outstanding! They have the 'Pure Marg" and 'The Skinny". The presentation of the drink is just as impressive as the taste, with the margaritas served in a salt-rimmed glass and garnished with an orange wedge. One sip of their margarita and you'll be hooked! The perfect balance of sweet and sour, with just the right amount of tequila to make it a truly memorable drink. However, the guacamole was a bit of a letdown. While it had a nice flavor and texture, it was served in a substandard plastic container, which detracted from the overall presentation and quality. I would suggest serving the guacamole in a nicer dish that's not made of plastic to match the quality of the margaritas. Overall, if you're looking for a great margarita in Carlsbad, Pure Taco is definitely worth a visit. Just don't expect too much from the guacamole presentation, but the guacamole taste is a 3.5 out of 5. read more

We absolutely loved the Carlsbad location--it's incredibly easy to find right along the main strip. As we were strolling along looking for a place to grab lunch, this spot immediately caught our attention. The ambiance had a light, fun vibe with a modern and cross-cultural flair. A perfect 5/5 for the atmosphere! We ordered at the counter and snagged a spot at one of the high-top tables outside. It was surprisingly quiet for lunchtime, which we appreciated. The staff, as always, was exceptional--friendly, welcoming, and attentive. A solid 5/5 for the service! To start, we ordered the Chips, Salsa, and Guac. The chips were fantastic--crispy, salty, and totally addictive. I could've easily eaten an entire basket on my own. The salsa was thick, flavorful, and had a nice balance of spice. The guacamole, however, didn't quite hit the mark for us. It was a bit bland and had an odd aftertaste. Even after squeezing some lime and mixing it up, it didn't improve much, so we'd skip it next time. For the main event, we tried the Baja Fish Tacos and both rated them 5/5. The fish was perfectly seasoned and the tacos were fresh and delicious. My husband also had the Pulled Chicken Tacos and gave them a 5/5 as well. Both were great choices! The Pastor Taco had good flavor, but it wasn't quite as spicy as I expected for this classic dish. I'd give it a 4/5--still tasty, just not as bold as I'd hoped. read more

As a regular customer of Pure Taco, I've always enjoyed good food and service here. However, my recent visit was unfortunately a letdown. The evening started promisingly as my wife and I ordered drinks, an appetizer, and two main courses. But things quickly went downhill with the timing and order of service. My entree, a burrito, arrived first - before our drinks, appetizer, and my wife's meal. This put us in an awkward position of either eating separately or letting the food get cold. When I explained this to the young woman running the food, her response was dismissive: "We bring out food in the order that it's made," delivered with an unwelcome attitude. The drinks finally arrived about 10 minutes later. My wife's entree came 15 minutes after mine, with the appetizer following even later. By this point, my burrito had gone cold, significantly impacting the dining experience. While the food quality has been consistently good in the past, the poor service and lack of coordination in the kitchen overshadowed any culinary merits this time. The staff's inability to properly time the meal courses and their dismissive attitude towards valid concerns were disappointing. Given our previous positive experiences, this visit was a stark contrast and leaves us hesitant about returning. Pure Taco must address these service issues to maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty. read more

I have been here about a dozen times since this place opened and it's taken me a while to write this review. This is partially because when they first opened the food was great but the service was mediocre and partly because I'm finally ready to proclaim that this place has replaced Las Olas as my top pick for Mexican in the village. The service turnaround in the kitchen has improved dramatically in the past 4 times I have been over to eat, and I think they have found their groove. The fish tacos for 1.99$ are unbelievably delicious, with handmade tortillas and perfect amounts of crema, pico, lettuce, and fish aplenty. The salads are also one of my top picks! The skinny margarita is also my go to for a refreshing treat to relax and take in the ocean air. My kids love the patio and decor, which offers a modern take on the Mexican coastal vibe. If you don't try this place, you will be missing out!!! read more
