We showed up on Wednesday early afternoon for a lunch date. We were seated and waited a little while foor our server to show up. When Kennedy (our server ) showed up he handed us a couple of waters and then dissapeared. When he finally showed up he took our food order but never asked if we wanted drinks (other than the provided waters). The food finally came out and the empanadas had too much dough and were undercooked. The fish tacos had way too mant carrots in them and I felt like I was eating a salad. We would have loved to get a couple of margaritas but the offer for drinks never came. We hadn't been here in a while and had forgotten how bad the service was. We hope this gets passed on to the management and the server since he could have made a bigger tip and a bigger sale. We can go to other Taquerias and get better food and service. read more

This place is pricey and portions are small, but the food is really good and so are the cocktails. It's perfect for an early dinner, or to share a snack with a friend and grab a margarita. I wouldn't come here to feel full on Mexican or with a large group. Service is always good! read more

I got gluten free redfish tacos, and they were really good. We started with cheese dip and a house margarita. Good atmosphere on the patio and great service. Great place for dinner! read more

Pure Taqueria - Redfish tacos - Mexican Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Over a very loud Saturday dinner, we enjoyed a tasty and lively dinner. Wait time was less than 30 minutes so next time, we will return during the week. Parking is limited, we parked at their catering space next door. Having lived in Texas, paying for chips and salsa is almost sacrilegious. Fish tacos were yummy and they made me veggie taco salad without issue. The salsa was a great healthy salad dressing for me. House made corn tortillas were good if a bit tough. Service was attentive. read more

We just went to this Pure location after 15 years and must I say it. was fantastic. Like everything. We had fish tacos which were fresh. The green salsa was perfect, tangy and spicy. I usually don't eat mexican rice but theirs is really good and wasn't mushy. Our waiter must have had telepathy because he knew whenever we needed anything. The restaurant and location is a happening area in downtown Alpharetta and they have this small palm tree in the front. They also open up all the panels so you feel like you're on vacation. I ran into a really good former coworker who I haven't seen in a long time which was nice. This place is usually packed on the weekends so we were happy to get a table middle of the week. read more

Came here instead of cooking before the holidays. Quick service, called ahead since we had a table of 6 and were seated right away. Service we very friendly and efficient, almost no wait for our meal. Drinks were decent, definitely more on the syrup side for the margaritas. Food was also good, everything came out as ordered. Highlight was the guacamole, and friend enjoyed the steak burrito. read more

I cannot tell you how many times I've been to this taqueria. I remember when the first location opened up back in Alpharetta way back in 2005 and I used to walk to it with my best friend because her and her family lived just around the corner (and we were too young to drive). The food has always been incomparable when it comes to other local Mexican restaurants. Their menu is great because they have their own take on Mexican staples like their quesadillas which are described more like turnovers. It pains me to share this but my favorite dish was actually removed from the menu a while ago. Originally, I was told they were going to become seasonal, but that wasn't the case post-pandemic. Ah, Fritangas de Jaiba, how I miss you so! They were these incredible crab fritters under their appetizer list and they had the most creamy, citrusy/spicy, delicious sauces drenched overtop. *chefs kiss x1000* Now, I typically order their chicken empanadas or the empanadas del dia - they are all great! Their sopa de pollo y limon is their take on chicken tortilla soup and it is also incredible! It has become my favorite soup to pick up if I feel like I'm coming down with a cold, and also just great on a cool winter evening. Their chicken taquitos are great, too. As for the drinks - I literally won't go anywhere else for a margarita. The bar is always full (usually full of regulars), and the drinks don't stop coming. Their skinny margarita is the best I've ever had because it's made with the purest (get it?), simplest ingredients. All I want in a skinny marg is fresh lime juice, agave and good silver tequila and Pure does just that. Their "Skinny Love" is my new favorite with muddled strawberries and basil (sometimes I even sub out the tequila for Tito's). The Sedgwick family owns some of my favorite restaurants around Alpharetta/Milton/Roswell, so I highly recommend checking out any. Pure is a great place to start! read more

Pure Taqueria - a plate of food with sauce - Mexican Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Food was fresh, good portions, and tasty. The restaurant was cute and clean. We had the best service from Nick. He had great energy, was welcoming, and provided detailed recommendations. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. He went above and beyond checking in with us and he even bagged our food and held the door for us. Great experience! read more

A delightful lunch spot, Pure taqueria has fresh and delicious options with plentiful outdoor seating options. Coming from Southern CA, I had mild expectations for Mexican food a little farther from the border, but the chilaquiles were up to par and so beautifully presented! Prices are on the higher side, but correlate with high-quality, fresh ingredients, and it seems consistent with inflation and Alpharetta prices. The salad stood out with an aesthetically pleasing balance of colors and gustatorily satisfying balance of flavors--glad I got to trade for a taste with my family members. The staff generously provided a light and fluffy key lime pie for my grandma's birthday, which I think she preferred over her barbacoa tacos. Service was standard but also with a touch of generosity as mentioned with the complimentary dessert. Outdoor dining was refreshing: despite being right next to the road, the cars were not whipping by too quickly, and the green of GA still shines through. Would definitely want to come back for lunch to enjoy the al fresco dining here. read more

Pure is so overrated and their food isn't that good. And I would prefer a lot of other Mexican places than this. Also our server wasn't the best either. read more

I used to love this restaurant but their customer service has significantly dropped. My most recent visit was astounding. I could not understand their treatment. I would not recommend going here - their food is mid and their customer service used to make up for the lack in food quality but now they are just lacking in both. Go literally anywhere else in Alpharetta. read more

Fish tacos were pretty good but could have used more fish. Beans and rice were ok. House margaritas were good. Chips and salsa are not included as in most Mexican restaurants. The upcharge would be ok but we personally didn't care for the chips that were very crunchy, hard and thick. The accompanying salsa and tomatillo were good. Service was slow and waitress seemed inexperienced and apologetic. Atmosphere was loud, all hard surfaces, floor, tables, chairs, plus music speakers all over forcing us to speak loudly to be heard. This was lunch, but not relaxing. I suppose some people like that, but we were relieved to walk out of there. read more

Great spicy margaritas and I'm obsessed with their salmon appetizer. Not as generous as ceviche and other local Mexican restaurants with the chips and salsa unfortunately. read more

Food and drinks are top notch. Service is always great and food is fast. Highly recommend the guac.

I have been eating here for 20 years. Great food, fantastic margaritas, kid friendly, plenty of gluten free options.

Great margaritas. The food is overpriced for the quality. 3 shrimp tacos, ala carte, with sauce on the side, were $22. Queso dip is $9, but you have to pay $2.90 if you want chips and 2oz. of salsa to go with the dip. read more

Loved! First time there. Drinks were fresh & food delicious. Greet atmosphere & service. Will definitely go back!

The rice could've been fresh other than that everything else was great! The service was great. The drinks were amazing.

Service was good. The steak was tender and seasoned well. The jalapeño Mac was great with a slight kick to it. The drinks were ok...not very strong but still good. read more

great Mexican food, good service, and fun atmosphere! Highly recommend you try! and great drinks as well!

Food - Steak quality, amazing Ambiance - Love it, busy, local feel Service - Awesome staff, never had a negative experience in any of their locations Hands down my go to Mexican in town! Cazuela bowl with steak, steak tacos or carne a la parrilla (no cheese) are my go to!! Also best queso ever! Drinks are amazing! Overall this place wins for all around Mexican! I love Pure and I ll forever support them read more

Absolute joke when it comes to food and the prices. They charge regular prices for Mexican street food. I have no problem with street food tacos. I do have an issue when they are $8 a taco. The meat in the tacos is the size of cat food. Are you kidding? Don't remember Pure doing this. Won't be back read more

We were able to call ahead and put our name in on a Friday night. It was a 30 minute wait for our party of 6. We arrived and it started raining (they were going to sit us outside) so they scrambled and opened up the porch in their neighboring facility to speed up the time. We ended up sitting inside at t round table in the left corner, which was great because we had windows on all sides of us and were able to see the whole restaurant interior. The kitchen was running behind, so our server advised us to order when she came back from getting our drinks. And we did just that. We started with the chips and added their queso. We also go the guacamole, which was a huge portion and also came with chips. For my entree, I had the pastor tacos. I got three, but would have been fine with just two since they are pretty decent in size. The cilantro rice it came with was amazing as well! The food came pretty quickly actually so we were pleased in that regard. read more

We love Pure! Great margaritas, great service, and yummy food! We have never had a bad experience.

Eyal is one of the best servers I've had in a very long time. It's clear that he takes pride in his job and serving others. He was so kind, so helpful, and such a likable personality. He talked us into ordering the smoked salmon appetizer, which wasn't even on our radar, but it ended up being a favorite I will crave and I will return to Pure for that alone. He went over the top to ensure that we had a nice birthday outing. Kindness and generosity goes a long way. They handle gluten allergies so well. They even have GF chips if you request them! (Each morning before they open, they fry up some tortilla chips in a fresh batch of oil before it has been cross contacted with gluten items. What a kind extra step they take to accommodate people with serious allergies.) Pure has been a favorite of mine for many years now, and it has stood the test of time. For now on, I'll be asking for Eyal and ordering whatever he suggests. read more

Lucy and the staff were on point! Been coming here since it opened! To see a young manager problem solve and make sure everyone is supported is amazing! Lucy! read more

Our very favorite place! We eat here, literally, all the time. Highly recommend the blood orange margarita, and salmon totopas. Do not miss it! The service is fabulous. They make you feel like a friend/family. The vibe is groovy. We like the music and sitting in the outside porch/open air room. Patio is fun at night with the cafe lights....and event space next door is great too. 10 out of 10 all around at Pure. read more

Twice now, I've shown up during posted hours (11-11) and was told "we're closed" at 9pm. Then change your signage that's clearly visible from the street, numbnuts. I spent over $60 at Coalition instead and will never waste my time at your crappy taco shack again. read more

Very bad experience with a server named Ivy. She was not friendly, did not introduce herself, and was generally rude. Did not check on us after 1 app was ordered. Never refilled water or asked if we wanted another drink. Was so bad we requested another server from the manager- who was amazing and we were so happy with Nick. Food and drinks are very good but this girl should find a job that she actually enjoys. read more

Pure is a good spot for lunch or dinner. Located in DT Alpharetta and a bit off the beaten path the food is good, service has been very consistent for us and we enjoy it there. A few downsides as the bar area is not at all feasible for multiple people to hangout. If it gets too crowded you'll most likely be sitting on someone's lap at their table. They have been seating people outside by their storage house (lack of a better term) and I'm not a fan of sitting out there. Also parking can be a challenge during peak hours. I enjoy it and will return. read more

Good food good drink, bad management. Great server, no issues. Went outside to vape, asked to move away from the door by the FOH manager, no worries, moved away from the door! We work in the industry. Came back in, felt the vibe was off. Closed out with our server (had no issues with him or the experience at the time) decided 1 quick shot at the bar. Chatted with a regular while we waited for said shot. No issues there. The restaurant is pretty empty and quiet at this point. Just a lull in the evening. We are still chatting at a respectful volume with said regular about his traveling pictures. Got randomly cut off through brand new manager from aforementioned manager (he didn't know why, said he'd visit at our restaurant) We all were confused but said nothing because again, industry, but very confused on what was going on. Don't like causing an issue in house, won't mention names. Won't be back even though I've been there before a couple times in the past. I'm not getting cut off because of a jealous person who hates their job again. read more

"Watermelon/cucumber Margarita" 90% tequila- 0% flavor. Server left.... Never came back. Requested a replacement. No manager. Empanadas were riddled with goat cheese - to mask odd flavor. Left to have dinner & drinks at a restaurant - recommend not returning. read more

The OG Pure Taqueria that I have been coming to for over a decade. My friends and I love meeting up here for lunch or dinner. The service is continuously on point and friendly. The food is always delicious, I really like the fish tacos and chips with queso. They also have excellent margaritas. read more

Not the good food and drinks we are use to at Pure. margaritas selection and drinks have changed. Very disappointed. Will not be returning read more

I love Pure Taqueria! The food is consistently good and I love their menu items! I used to go to the one on Howell Mill when I was working in that area. Now I go to the one in Athens when I am in that area. Remarkably the same in looks and food! I definitely will go back each time I am in the area! read more

I love Pure, my friends and I go there very often. I always get chips, queso and guac and margaritas to start. Their tacos are really good. Just one day my friends and I ordered shrimp and it came burned to the point where we couldn't eat it, when we complained waitress said "that's how we serve it". It was completely burned but ok, waitress agreed to not charge for it and give us something else. Apart from that, everything else I eat in there is always very good! read more

Pure Taqueria was one of our choices to celebrate National Margarita Day! I was very excited to go here, however, after my experience began in the parking lot I lost that excitement quickly! First off, the parking at this location is horrible if you go to during any prime time or an event. I circled the parking lot probably for 15 minutes before I found parking. My friends were already inside of the restaurant and when I gotten in we still had not received our waters nor had placed any drink orders. In short, this visit which should have taken an hour took almost 2 for a group of 4. Their menu options are very slim. The appetizer that I ordered (shrimp, tomatoes, bread, sausage) is okay; however, I wasn't impressed. I'm sure that this restaurant has great service when they are not so crowded, but not being able to properly accommodate us for lunch really makes me not want to try it again. read more
