Food was amazing. They took the traditional dish and gave it a lot of flare. Drinks were awesome as well. Definitely on my list of regulars from now on. read more

Unprofessional, lackluster, stale drinks and service. I've been a loyal customer of this Pure Taqueria location since 2017, and it used to feel like a second home. Unfortunately, my most recent visit -- combined with the overall decline I've watched over the past few years -- has made it hard to keep coming back. Before I'd even ordered a drink the other day, one of the bartenders confronted me about a personal matter involving someone else entirely, in a tone that was hostile and completely uncalled for. I had no idea what she was referencing and had no involvement in whatever the situation was. I've been a paying customer and awesome tipper btw for 8-9 years with zero prior issues, and to be spoken to that way with no warning or explanation was shocking. It seems staff at this location spend more time discussing customers amongst themselves than focusing on the quality of service, and when customers become aware of it and address it directly, the response is defensiveness rather than accountability. 2+2 will always be 4 -- if you don't gossip, these things won't happen. There should be zero tolerance for gossip about current or former customers and employees. If you close your mouth, flies won't get in. Situations like this are entirely avoidable when staff simply stay professional and keep personal opinions to themselves. This isn't an isolated incident. Since longtime GM Evan left, the quality of service here has really declined and honestly they haven't been able to keep a GM since his departure: * Bar staff seem undertrained and inexperienced * The neighborhood, personal touch that made this place special is largely gone * Guest service has been inconsistent, and at times outright disrespectful * I've heard staff use language toward customers similar to what customers have gotten banned for using I've reached out to corporate directly about this incident and hope leadership takes it seriously. All customers deserve to be treated with basic respect and consistency. I really hope this location gets back to what it used to be, because there's clearly a good foundation here that's being let down by current bar staff. read more

My friends and I got a round of drinks since we were a little disappointed by the service and drinks at a place nearby. Immediately our waiter was so much more engaging and attentive. We enjoyed our drinks of strawberry, blueberry and raspberry mojitos along with the live music on a Friday. They have a side patio as well as lots of indoor tables. Would come again to try more drinks and their food! read more

Decided to try this place for lunch. It was good option and really enjoyed my visit. It was empty when we went but the staff was really nice and helpful. They do a great margarita pitcher special that was great for my party of four. I ordered the barbacoa tacos and they were incredible. They were super flavorful. The rice and beans were fine. Overall this is a good place for lunch read more

Service pretty bad. Saw our server maybe three times in 2 hours there-would've left after 1 if everything had been more streamlined

I live in the neighborhood and have given this place multiple chances, hoping to see improvement--but unfortunately, the bar service continues to fall short. I spent about two hours at the bar with two colleagues and was only attended to twice. The first time we ordered drinks, they were never even made--we had to flag someone down again and repeat our order because they forgot what we had asked for. We never even had the opportunity to order food, and getting just two drinks total felt like a challenge. I ultimately had to wave down the bar manager--who seemed completely disengaged--just to close out my tab. The most frustrating part is that the food is great, and the space itself has an excellent vibe and location. But unless you're a regular, it feels like you're invisible to the bartending staff. I really want to keep supporting this place, but the service experience makes it difficult. Hoping this gets addressed soon. read more

I enjoyed this spot so much that I came back the next day! Our server Katelynn was so great! She was attentive, helpful, kind, and funny. The food was so good. I started off with appetizers and of course had to get chips and guac. Best part is the chips are homemade so they are a bit thicker and so delicious. Also, the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. Also, we did order the chips and cheese if you are a fan of nachos and cheese, you definitely want to get this dish. The cheese was so good creamy flavorful and delicious. Next, I ordered the steak burrito, which was something that Katelyn recommended amazing. It was a great portion, and it was absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly. The burrito was rolled perfectly. When I came back the second time I ordered the shrimp tacos, and I was very excited because it was fried shrimp and I can tell you right now. It was absolutely divine. The flavors were on point. The shrimp was cooked beautifully and the other thing I ordered that you definitely want to get your hands on is the empanada of the day When I went it was a shrimp and empanada, and it was absolutely amazing. My goodness it was cooked perfectly. One of my favorite parts was the drinks I ordered a strawberry frozen margarita as well as a pomegranate frozen margarita and they were both amazing shout out to the bartender. He is so great. He knows what he's doing. So you can easily see why this restaurant has definitely earned a spot on my list read more

Really cute spot just off the beltline! They also have a free parking lot in the back. Skinny love marg and mojito were great. They have a pitcher & dip deal for $40 on Wednesdays and $3.50 tacos on Tuesdays. You could tell the chips were fresh, and the portions are large enough that we both had leftovers. The burrito was really good but a lil spicy. The quesadillas weren't your traditional quesadillas (not served in a tortilla). They use corn-mesa turnovers and stuff the toppings inside, which was unique and really delicious. Overall food was great, drinks were great, service was great! The only (very small) complaint was that their Coke was served in a can and not out of a fountain lol. read more

The location is great, right in the middle of the main strip of bars and restaurants in Inman Park. We, a party of 4, were able to walk in and there was no wait around 6 PM on a Friday night. Drinks were great, food was great. Was it the best Mexican food I've ever had? No. Was it great quality for the price and location? Yes. I'd come back here in a heartbeat as my neighborhood Mexican spot. read more

One of the best margaritas I've had in life lol. It's mixed so swell and packed with a powerful punch but you cannot taste the tequila! Wonderful, right? Unless you're driving. The freshest fajita, too. You can literally watch the kitchen preparing fresh veggies and the mushrooms are beyond tasteful. I'll be back without a doubt. Friendly staff might I add. read more

If I could, I would eat here every weekend. The food is tasty, drinks are flowing, and the indoor-outdoor style is so fun. Setting: Inman park across Beetlecat; this location is easily accessible by walking on the beltline. Parking can be tough in this area! Service: Kind waitstaff who check in frequently and give you time if you're a little too busy chatting with your girls (like I am). Food: The guacamole and queso are next level. I also love the rice and beans that come with the mains, so flavorful and hit the spot! read more

Stopped in here for a quick drink before moving on to VinoTeca across the street. The bar set up they have here is spacious and well lit with plenty of TVs for the sportsball fans. We were served right away, and our bartender was attentive even though we were only here for a quick drink. Their list of margaritas was comprehensive, love a good selection of margs to make me rethink and ponder ordering anything other than my go-to margarita on the rocks with salt. You can't beat a classic, am I right? I ended up opting for the skinny margarita since we were going to keep drinking and I wanted to start off with something a little lighter. Can't speak to the food here but the dishes that were coming out looked pretty tasty. Solid stop for a margarita. read more

Food was good! The place had cute decor! We had a hard time getting the hostesses' attention twice and we were looking around for our server. Great potential though and amazing apps! read more

Awesome food, awesome staff and service definitely recommend it. Can't wait for pollen season to end so we can dine on the patio

Gotta love shrimp tacos! Perfectly seasoned, breaded and cooked then placed in a corn shell with slaw- this is the menus best item. This location is always busy, filled with large groups and those on dates- therefore service does their best to be swift and attentive, however I recommend you know what you want and get the order in for everything the first time. Great margaritas! read more

Ummmm... this is my second time here and was actually looking forward to visiting this location a second time. But I'm experience was less than stellar. I almost felt as if I was a burden or getting on their nerves. They definitely did not come to work to work today. No one was at the hostess stand, and both of the server and the bartender was at the bar on their phone. Looked and fail to mention that you can seat yourself... trust me the service is usually better than this but I do believe that they are extremely short staffed today and maybe not be too excited about that. The restaurant itself is super cute. Kind of like a 60/70's vibe with some natural plant life. And being that i am a plant mom I feel that makes this place even more special. It's cold here today but usually they'll have the place opened up. Definitely a indoor/outdoor thing going on. Definitely recommend visiting when it's warm out. The entire front of the building is made of garage doors which all go up SUPER COOL! The food is delicious. I have zero complaints when the food is involved. The cooks did exactly what they were suppose to do in the kitchen. The Totopos de Salmon is a warm tortilla chip topped smoked salmon, red onion, jalapeño slice, cilantro and cheese. It's the perfect little bite. It's refreshing and tasty, it's legit the combo you didn't know you needed. YUMMMM!! I also ordered the shrimp tacos. The come either fried or grilled and with a spicy mayo and a slaw. They are at best a 6/10 but still delicious. They maybe a little dry or missing something. I haven't been able to put my finger on it. The drinks are nice and strong like how I like them Pure does have a full bar but I prefer their margaritas. Trust me 2-3 of those depending of your tolerance will have you feeling great. Parking can be a bit complicated if they are busy. There are parking lots all over but it is paid parking but I highly suggest parking along the street. It's free and convenient. read more

Visited on National Margarita Day with my husband and was both surprised and happy that there was seating available. We got there a little after 9pm and we seated right away with menus. While they didn't have margarita day specials they did have a Dip & Sip special for Wednesdays and Thursdays. It's $39.99 for a regular or plus margarita pitcher and either queso or guac. Our server greeted us and we ordered the plus pitcher with guac and continued to look over the menu. We were brought waters and the guac came quickly after. The chips were housemade and had the right amount of crunch and salt. Guac needed a little extra salt and pepper, but overall really good. The plus margarita was perfection. I ordered the Veggie Burrito Ahogado while he ordered 2 Birria Tacos and 1 Carne Asada taco with rice and black beans. We continued talking and eating the chips and guac. Food came and we were ready to eat. Presentation was good and so was the food. My burrito was flavorful and filling. He enjoyed his tacos and thought the rice and beans were ok. Overall it was a great time. Nice ambiance and staff. The only misstep was there is no indication, nor was there a mention, that the plus margarita is $4 more. I didn't even notice until a day later that they charged me $43.99 rather than $39.99 because if I had I would have addressed it. read more

Pure Taqueria is a great addition to this little Inman Park dining district. Our server was one of the friendliest I've encountered in Atlanta, the kitchen was liberal on both chips AND queso, the tacos were outstanding, and the prices-- unlike every other trendy taco joint-- were actually reasonable. Pure Taqueria may not have the personality of Fritti's, quality of Soto Soto, trendiness of BarTaco, or name recognition of Ben & Jerry's, but it's still one of the best restaurants on the block. read more

I usually love Pure. I've brought friends and family to dine with me at this location several times. Tonight I ordered carry out and they got my order wrong. I ordered the portobello fajitas with extra mushrooms. (Since they usually include a whole onion but skimp on the other veggies). Tonight they rang me up for veggie fajitas and I didn't get any mushrooms. I called about the issue and they agreed to let me pick up some mushrooms. When I arrived they gave me like 1/3 of a container with mushrooms. I mentioned that I'd order the portobello fajitas with EXTRA mushrooms. The hostess got frustrated with me and shared that they didn't charge me for the extra. (Not my fault.) She was annoyed, but placed the order for the extra mushrooms. Then she came back over expecting me to pay an additional five dollars. So my order was wrong. I drove all the way back to get it fixed and then I was expected to pay extra for THEIR error. I decided to pass on waiting AND paying for the extra mushrooms. I'll also be passing on returning for a while. The portion size is also a lot smaller than it used to be. (Remember the rectangular container with with the white bottom? It's gone.) The food was fine but the customer service was lacking. read more

This is a location I will absolutely stand by. I have been to the pure in Alpharetta multiple times but this location is the absolute best!! The quality and consistency is always so good and the service is top tier! I came in a group of 3 on a Friday evening and we were seated immediately on the heated patio. Our waitress gave us some amazing recommendations! We started off with the chips and queso and oh my god it was so good. The queso was great and the chips were so fresh! For my main, I got the quesadilla con pollo y queso which is basically fluffy tacos and wow!!!! They' we're fire!! The black beans were great but I always forgot I don't love the rice and just need to double beans. Someone else in my party got the flautas and loved them too. Overall 10/10 read more

The server I had was great and most of my meal was good but the overall experience of the restaurant has decreased as of lately. The manager is pretty rude. I've encountered him on two different occasion's and asked my questions nicely( about menu changes or seating etc) but both times he acted as if he hated to talk to patrons. He was a little sarcastic. Anyway.. I enjoy the tacos , burritos, and in the summer I always drink the margs ..and I love how they are mostly skinny/organic. read more

I love Pure's food so this review is NOT about the food or service. I watched a young woman park her car on their lot, and saw their parking lot attendant running around, watching where she went. She did leave the lot, and the parking attendant sprinted back to her car and immediately started booting her. She could've easily let her know that she isn't allowed to park on Pure's lot and walk away, instead she watched her walk away so she could make a buck off her. Practices like this are so damn predatory and are all about making money. read more

My son needed magazines for a school project and I drove all the way from Lithonia to Brookhaven to purchase cheap FB Marketplace magazines. Only for the seller to text me that he left. So since I work remotely and had my laptop with me, I decided to wait for this restaurant to open so my trip wouldn't feel like it was all for nothing. I had never been to this restaurant before but I wanted something good to eat and this looked like just the place. I sat at the bar and asked the bartender to make me whatever he wanted. He made me a margarita with a little jalapeño and a tajin rim. It was good! But that spice definitely got me in the back of my throat. I asked him for his recommendations and then chose the Salmon con Vegetables. It's salmon, fingerling potatoes, onion, corn, spinach, mushroom, avocado, pico de gallo, and queso fresco. I asked him to switch the salmon for the red fish. Then I asked if it was going to be filling or should I get rice too? He said, "how about I bring you the meal as is, and if you want rice, I'll bring you rice?" I said ok but asked for chips and queso. And here is where I fell in love. He brought me a side of chopped jalapeño! I didn't even ask. But, I guess, since I asked for the hottest hot sauce, he must have just known I like a kick. I was like, oh this guy is a winner for sure! The chips and queso was so doggone good. I don't know if it's cause I was so hungry or what but, that didn't taste like the chips and queso that I make or have had before. The food, hands down, was phenomenal! If I'm ever on that side again, I'll go back. With tip, I spent $50. read more

Fresh margs and delicious snacks in the heart of Inman Park- what could be better? We found our new neighborhood spot on a recent weekday afternoon visit, and thoroughly enjoyed a couple fresh margs at their wide and accessible bar. Their chips and queso were great, especially when paired with a couple sides of their surprisingly fresh and authentic salsitas. While the arbol was delicious, the salsa de aguacate was enough to melt this Texan's heart. A nice spot for drinks and conversation, and a low-key alternative to some of the other, more stuffy spots in this neighborhood. read more

Amazing service with a great ambience! I orded the Limonada agua frescas and the Pollo con Tequila y Limón for my entree. I enjoyed the patio seating and the food was really good!

My meal was gluten free and they were able to make it without dairy. read more

An extremely clean & disinfecting establishment with a friendly team of employees throughout the restaurant. We sat on the patio with the necessary space between the tables, a downloadable menu & Hand Sanitizer readily available. I was more for company oppose to eating, although they will accommodate dietary needs somewhat. You can't go wrong with Chips/Salsa/Guac, or you shouldn't especially at a Taqueria. My Gal Pal enjoyed her Pesco Tacos & Margaritas, so a cool patio outing in the heart of "downtown" Inman Park. I was disappointed with the wine offering & the pour, no fault to our Server Ali who was great. Decent prices for the portions & windows galore to enjoy the scenery. Dogs are allowed on the patio. read more

I visited here on a Friday evening with two friends. We ordered guac and chips for the table and for meals we ordered pollo taquitos, vegetable burrito, and birria tacos. The chips were so crisp and I believe are made fresh daily and you could really tell with the flavor. The guac was good, but nothing extraordinary. I had the pollo taquitos and I would say they were okay, don't see myself ordering them again. There were a lot of options on the menu which was a little overwhelming, but maybe something else would have been better. The place was not super busy, but a bunch of people were at the bar. The waitstaff was super attentive and helpful. The restaurant and area was super cute and welcoming. There's a parking garage a couple of blocks away that had free parking. read more

Nice food and drinks, maybe a little overpriced for what you get but I am absolutely appalled by the lack of consideration for families with infants at this establishment. We were shocked to discover that there was **no baby changing station** in the restroom. It's 2024, and it's beyond belief that a restaurant in the heart of Atlanta, a city that prides itself on hospitality and inclusivity, fails to provide such a fundamental amenity. People have babies, get with the times.... read more

Two of us dropped by for lunch a while ago, I've been going to this location for years and have always enjoyed it. Our waiter seemed to be new, but that is OK, that is until I noticed his hands. There was like major dirt under his fingernails and I don't know when was the last time he washed his hands. Then he asked my friend if we wanted another round of drinks, my friend said yes and he brought my friend a drink ? After we finished, he came to the table and we split the bill and paid at the table with cards. Then he comes back and said my card didn't go through ? So I go to the register where he and other people were standing around the register. When they see me they scatter and he says "never mind" ? When I got home I checked my account and it was OK. Isn't it a state law that restaurant staff have to have clean nails and hands ? I would think that would be a given. What a totally bizarre experience. I'm not picky, but that was gross. read more

Went here for dinner on a Friday night to catch up with a friend. It was pretty busy at the time. We got a table and ordered a couple drinks along with 2 orders of 3 tacos. I got the lamb, she got the pulled pork. For 2 tacos its about $12, 3 tacos for about $15, so its totally worth it to go for the extra. The taco places come with rice and beans, you can choose from black, re-fried, or charro beans. I asked for double beans so we could try all of them. Charro were my favorite flavor wise, sitting in a dense "soup." but quantity the refried beans you get the most, topped with a bit of queso fresco. The tacos were awesome. The lamb was rich and succulent, served with a dipping sauce and little side salad. The pork was a sweet savory combination with cheese and pineapple and just enough spice to make it interesting. Cocktails were reasonable priced and were not full of sweet/sour mix. Will likely be heading back to try more. read more

This place is awesome! We came here during 4th of July weekend and were able to be sat within about 20 minutes. The service was great (our waters were always full and she was not buzzing around us constantly) The food: We started with queso and chips which did not disappoint whatsoever. Super cheesy and great chips. I got Fried Grouper Fish Tacos. They were gone within about 5-10 minutes as they were incredibly delicious. There was a lot of fish as well so they were not skimping you of any of the main ingredient! I also thought the rice and beans was exceptional. The beans were very different than other refried beans I've had. In a good way that is. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner here and would come back to try other dishes. Highly recommend giving Pure a go! read more
