Absolutely terribly run establishment. Went there to get lunch but went somewhere else first and my car got booted and I had to spend $75 to take it off even though I was patronizing the restaurant. But because my first stop was not in the restaurant, they had to boot it?? Even after talking with management they wouldn’t take it off. I used to eat at Pure a lot and now I never will again. I’d suggest focusing on food and not going for a cash grab in the parking lot.

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.

Great staff and food. Outside seating was very nice. Please make sure you don't walk around before/after you park in their parking lot because the company that handles that lot will boot your car. Staff was able to help me with the issue and everything was fine.

i’ve been to the inman park location on multiple occasions and ordered a drink, they checked my id with no problem. today when i went my waitress checked my id for a long time then gave my id back, next thing i know a manager came to our table saying he had to double check my id, with no explanation. this has never happened as many times as i’ve been here and they said this is a “usual thing”. i didn’t like that at all, and i personally felt racially profiled as we were the only black people in there at the time. please do better

Solidly mediocre. I don’t know how they have such a high rating. The food is just okay. Margaritas are good. I live across the street and would choose to drive somewhere else for food rather than eat here if that tells you anything.

Pure is the best! I love the carne asada tacos and that they make so many different salsas in house fresh everyday. The staff always makes me feel right at home too.Thank you!

I am a regular here at Pure! I come at least twice a week. Today; Sunday January 7th, I came in to watch the football game and have a few tacos! Upon entering I was greeted by the host with an eye roll and never asked how many I was with. I was seated and sat for 30 mins while the server who was suppose to greet me kept looking back at my table laughing with a colleague as she continued to vape which reeked of marijuana as well! I had to get up to ask the host if someone was going to serve me today; at which point the host took my order and continued on about her day. The manager then came over and attempted to address the situation; her resolve was she comp’d my coke and my dates sweet tea lol! This place is a joke and has been going down hill for quite some time! Here’s a suggestion… hire some staff that actually cares about providing good customer service - rather than just blowing vape smoke in customers faces!!Update: after this review initially posted; the manager then came back to my table to advise that our meals were comp’d however after being accused of lying on this review.. all makes amazing sense right? I was accused of lying about the time I waited.. which I was 4 mins off. I waited 26 mins instead of 30.. my apologies for rounding up. What type of manager that’s trying to address a mishap comes back to the table to make more of a scene!? After I was accused of lying - no other employee came back to the table to serve me in any way shape or form. Rather than continuing to try and make this a good experience for me considering the poor initial impression; it was made sure of by the manager that my experience got worse by having no service given to me for the duration of the time I was dining! Not for nothing; It is clear that the employees and management of this place have a little bit more than a customer service issue.. more like borderline discrimination problem. Great way to start off 2024 Pure Establishment and I definitely did not expect to walk into this level of employee chaos considering this used to be one of my favorite go to taquerias!

Service is amazing!!!!! The margaritas are to die for omg!!! Me and my husband literally had every drink on the menu!! The food is very delicious also! We had the Empanadas, chips and queso with fresh jalapeños and pico de Gallo and the lamb birra tacos. All of the food was soooo delicious and fresh! We sat at the bar and stayed all night. Wish I would've gotten more pics of drinks and food. The pic below is the skinny love , which was very good. This place is a strong 10 out of 10 . I highly recommend checking out this hidden gem. You won't be disappointed
