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.

I had a wonderful experience here at Pure Taqueria. The outdoor seating was quite pleasant, but there’s lot of seating indoors, too. The service was great, and we were constantly being checked on. We got a queso to share for the table, and it was so so good. The chips (totopos) here are freshly fried and so crunchy. I got the puerco al pastor tacos, which were delicious and juicy. The rice and refried beans on the side were good as well. I definitely recommend checking this place out for a nice, hearty meal!

Semi-regular but will not be back as they are over-filling their drink glasses with ice all the time now. On previous visits I assumed it was just new staff but tonite I asked the mgr point-blank and hr acknowledged it is per corporate decision making. So we went to Taqueria Del Sol (nearby) which serves a fair/proper drink and the food is better!

I love all the meals here! Never disappointed! Even though the place is always popular and crowded, the service still great! If you want to relax and enjoy comfy food, just come!

Good food and hearty portions! The guacamole was fresh, chunky and flavored perfectly, paired with warm fried tortilla chips and salsas. The chicken fajita was also well seasoned, and served with a good amount of rice and beans. The cauliflower tacos with pesto (yes, unusual, but it works) were my favorite! They seem to have stuffed half a cauliflower into 2 corn tortillas- which were thick, and held up to the weight of the veggies! The margaritas were okay. Service was quick and friendly, and there’s plenty of seating indoors and out! There’s a lot of parking available too!

The atmosphere is very chill and set up nicely. The customer is amazing very knowledgeable and attentive! The drink I had was pomegranate margarita and it was strong and delicious (just the way I know them) Food was sooo savory good. Everything was fresh and spiced very well. The salad (not pictured) bcuz I ate it so fast was refreshing and this burrito whew. Yes please. But I would just order it next time with the verde salsa. It’s better in my opinion! Very fast delivery of food too! They also have a rooftop but it was closed when I went!

I had a full corse meal and I don’t even know where to start. I sat at the bar and if I cal recall the bar tender Micheal was very pleasant and patient and he made very good recommendations. As a traveler I would travel back to this restaurant the appetizer along was the best and it was really I expected for the chopped salon to be warm but it was a little cool and but it went well with what was on the chip. The tacos was cooked perfect and I don’t get perfectly cooked tacos often. The desert look like beignet but it’s called something else but it was really good also. The chocolate on them taste like some you put in coffee or a milkshake so the flavor there kinda clashed. But all in all I recommend this restaurant. The environment is calm and relaxed to just sit and have a good conversation with friends

Nice little restaurant with very good homemade dishes and sides. The Guac is🔥🔥🔥 lots of pescatarian, vegetarian and gluten free options with the latter two being notated on the menu. My first time coming here was with my boss but when I was in the area again today I knew I had to come back. Pleasant stay that doesn't mind answering your questions and the service is so quick you barely have time to enjoy appetizers before your main course arrives. Cozy place and I'll definitely return, maybe next time for a date night. Meal today was tres ceveche, guacamole and chips for appetizers and the grilled amberjack taco plate. Pics included🖤🙌🏽🥰

Really really good drinks. The food is pretty spot on. Atmosphere is great. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the price is a bit much for what you're getting. No reason a margarita should be $14 in Beyoncé's america.

Pure has several locations in and around the metro Atlanta area. My friend and I decided to visit the one in Brookhaven, which has a super cute rooftop. Not going to lie, I wasn't super excited about this place after reading the reviews. But I'm always down to try a new spot and create my own opinion. It was a nice, summer evening when I went with a friend for Thursday night dinner. Pretty crowded, but we were able to find a table without an issue on the rooftop. Our server was awesome! He was very helpful as we perused the menu. We started off with chips and queso and two margaritas. Drinks were very good, but let me tell you...the chips stole the show! They were the best I've ever had! I don't know how the heck they make them, but they were amazing. The queso was really good too! Oddly enough, that was our favorite part of the meal lol. For entree, I ordered the Pollo Con Tequila Y Limon, which was essentially marinated grilled chicken breast with rice, peppers, and beans in a sauce. It was very tasty, just not something I would order again. My friend ordered something pretty basic like a burrito with a side of mac and cheese. She said the burrito was just OK. The mac and cheese was not good, but that didn't surprise me as I would never order Mac and cheese from a Mexican spot lol! I think if I came back, I would stick to drinks and appetizers.

Perfect upstairs patio setting for a Friday night! High tops or couches with shade, lights and misted fans! What more can you ask for? I tried the pomegranate margarita and the skinny love. Not strong but tasty! And to top it off fresh no syrups used! The guacamole had the best pico on top. So good i asked for an extra side! I took home the redfish tacos... yummy! My waitress checked on us very frequently. I felt bad I was never ready to order as I was enjoying the night out!

I ordered the chicken enchiladas and they were so delicious! And don't even get me started on the rice and refried beans..

Saturday lunch. Not very busy. Service was fantastic (I can't remember the guys name) but he told us about the food and drink specials. Our food came out within minutes of ordering. Our server was nice enough to ensure that we wanted everything that came in/with our meal. He dropped off extra napkins with our food. We ordered food and drink at the same time so our food came before our drinks. My only complaint is that it was $13ish dollars for that small margarita. Was it good? Yes. But not $13 good. Plenty of parking. Lots of indoor seating and high top patio seats. Bathrooms are not labeled as "bathroom" which is odd. But decent place.

My wife and I have been a semi-regular at this location for years - mainly for their drinks. Prices are up everywhere but Pure mgmt has made the decision to screw people over with mixed drinks by having staff first over-fill the glass with ice. I've noticed this trend there in recent months and have requested "less ice/more mixer" which some bartenders are fine with - but tonite I received a lot of attitude. Knowing the manager somewhat, I asked him point blank if this was a corporate/Sedgewick decision which he said Yes. I explained that given the amount Pure charges for drinks that this isn't good and we will go elsewhere (ex: Taqueria Del Sol does NOT do this and makes great margarita). WE LEFT AFTER ONE DRINK AND WENT THERE! SUGGEST OTHERS DO THE SAME. Its too bad as its a cool location but greed seems to be the rule these days rather than the exception.

I visited Pure for an early Saturday dinner. First and foremost, I love the decor. The interior is beautifully decorated, and there's an awesome rooftop patio area. The atmosphere was light, happy, and upbeat. As music played, some of the staff even danced. Our server was kind and attentive. The food came out quickly. As many have mentioned, the chips and queso are generous and delicious! They literally saved the day because my tacos left a lot to be desired. I had two ground beef tacos, and honestly, I've had much better.

Sat at the bar in an almost empty restaurant on Saturday at 8:00 pm. The bartender acted as if we were an interruption to her conversation at the other end of the bar. Not engaged with anything more than cleaning and prepping to leave. I spoke with the manager who apologized, but it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Rice and beans were cold as well! Hate to see a restaurant fail, but based on tonight's business when Real Tacos was slammed I can see the writing on the walls...and the reason is abundantly apparent! Wake up and fix your staffing issues before you become NOT RELEVANT!!!! I despise being made to feel like an interruption to someone's work!

Only come here if you want to sit outside and enjoy the weather and a drink. Maybeeeee grab chips and salsa or queso but don't waste money on their food. Not worth it at all.

Love the rooftop at Pure! It's the perfect place for a nice evening. The rooftop is first come first serve. Downstairs is regular seating though. Our waitress was nice and attentive. We started with drinks. I got the skinny love marg. We also got chips and salsa to start (not complementary sadly). But the chips are so worth it! Not sure what they do to those chips but they are addicting. We got the chicken fajitas and the enchiladas of the day which were chicken. The food came out pretty quickly. The enchiladas were so good! The entrees come with a side of rice and beans. Their refried beans are so tasty! It was so much food. All very good! Pure is a good spot overall for a chill dinner!

Overpriced. Below average food. I went with 2 friends at 7:30 on a Thursday night, 3/3/22. Service was okay. Here's what I got: - Queso Gringo ($7.49): The chips were very oily and not your typical tortilla chips. Wasn't a huge fan. The queso was fine. - Portobello Tacos ($10.49 for 2 tacos): These were not good. Two tacos for over $10 and no sides?? Absolutely ridiculous. My friend got the quesadilla, which was fried. Weren't expecting that. My other friend got the burrito which actually came with a decent amount of food. Just so disappointed. I will not be returning to Pure and I certainly don't recommend it.

Ivana S.

Yelp
Nothing beats the rooftop here. We live a little farther away but when we are in the area we always stop for a drink. We typically get tacos but it was so nice out wanted something fresh! Our waitress recommended the trip ceviche. The size was good for each one and omg they were delicious! All taste so different but liked every single one. The birria tacos walked by to someone else's tables and those looked amazing as well.

I came here on Wednesday for a cute happy hour on the patio and the vibes were absolutely there! These were the best margaritas I've had in a while and I left feeling great. I wish they were a tad bit bigger for the price. Now the guacamole and chips and Queso dip were good.... It went down hill with the entrees. We ordered a lamb burger that tasted like paper with little to no seasoning. My grilled shrimp tacos were okay...but my shells tasted old so I just ate the shrimp out of them. The real star of the show was the kids Mac and cheese! We ordered my nephew that and him and I were going in on that plate. I'll be back for the drinks and chips and dips but that's about it.

Great drinks and amazing rooftop to go with tacos, chips and dips and more! Service is always friendly too

We came here on a Saturday night around 7pm and did make a reservation. It wasn't crazy packed but there was a good amount of people. We started off with the lamb empanadas and they were pretty good. It was ground lamb which I've never had before. The steak and chicken burrito was sooo good! It was the perfect mix of meat and sauce and tortilla. I'd definitely order it again. Before we left for the night our amazing server gave us free shots of pineapple-infused vodka! Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend

I'm a celebrity chef and this is one of my favorite spots to go to in Roswell because of the outdoor seating and the consistency of the food. Chips for salsa and queso are top notch. The kids menu is one of the best ones around because it's not basic and has nice portions. My 3 year old loved her steak quesadilla. Service was phenomenal as the food came out in less than 10 minutes of ordering. Margarita specials were delicious and fresh. I ordered the lamb barria and it was amazing. If you are in the Roswell area, definitely treat yourself to this vibe!

Very mid-level Mexican food, it wasn't bad but it wasn't good. The service was okay, kind of slow.

Britta E.

Yelp
This place was GOOD!! I got the birria tacos and they were delicious. Cheese dip was good and grilled chicken and rice was fantastic! My only complaint is the kids menu is kind of slim but we made it work. I'm not from around here so this "Mexican " food was a little higher priced and finer dining than we are typically used to but I would come here again if we were in town!

Yelp
This was a solid spot for a girls' night out. My friends and I split the queso gringo which was tasty. I loved the fresh chips and appreciated the peppers on the side. The cheese was okay; perhaps I would have enjoyed the queso fundido for more flavor. I got a house margarita which is one of my favorites so far in Atlanta! Fairly strong and not too sweet. I loved my tacos al pastor. The food was solid and not overly huge quantities, which was kind of welcome. Service was good, nothing incredible but solid! It was packed tonight with good weather out, so if you want to eat outside be prepared to wait. I would recommend this.

Sunday afternoon decided to get some frozen margs on the rooftop, and it didn't disappoint! The food came out unusually fast, but hot, so it was perfect! I ordered a lime margarita, but added the Tajin rim, and I don't think I'm ever going back to regular salt! I know your probably thinking the patio would be too hot, but they have several fans pointing towards every table, with mists of water coming out... sooo refreshing! Get the fries!!!! Omg best I ever had... Would definitely come here again over the summer!

I've come here a few times and each time is nice and not super expensive. They have a huge rooftop patio with plenty of seating. Recently came with a group of friends and we really enjoyed the music. I am dieting for my birthday and thought i'd struggle to find healthy items but shockingly I had no problem. I got a shrimp bowl with beans, guacamole, lettuce and grilled vegetables. It was really filling and I felt good about my diet. We also got drinks. My friends seemed to love their margaritas. I got a shot of Milagro with ginger beer and it was really affordable. They are located in a strip mall with plenty of space for parking. I would definitely recommend.

Yelp
Actually quite disappointed after seeing the place packed a few days before I went. Guacamole & chips - A+ - best dish I had here. The guac and chips were both amazing solo and together. Portobello Fajitas - B- - had all the great veggies but absolutely no seasoning was used. The fajita was served with tortillas which I did not try, rice, black beans and salsa verde. The rice was good but the beans were bland as well. Ginger mojito - B+ - didn't taste the ginger, but the drink was pleasant. My friend wasn't impressed with her food (Camarones a la parrilla) or cocktail (Blackberry thyme margarita) either. She also thought the best part of her meal was the guac and chips.

Service is great, food is good especially their salsas. I had the fish grouper tacos and friends had bowls, quesadillas and fajitas. Everyone was happy with their food.

PURE is hands down one of my personal favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Pricing is reasonable, food is consistent, parking is ample, and service is excellent. My wife & I are the kind of people that like to be in and out of a nice restaurant within 30-45 minutes MAX. The food is prepared within 5 minutes but doesn't lack quality by any means! They have a system and IT WORKS. You can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu here, and if you're in the mood for a drink, their margarita's are fantastic!

Got a chicken burrito and it almost had some chicken in it. My son' fajitas.had very little chicken . Dishes no as good as they used to be. Not a priority place any more

https://www.puretaqueria.com/brookhavendinein2020 How many times do you drive past someplace..." I need to go there"..." that place looks great".. "I need to try it out". Well today I hung a "U-ey " and I came back to sit on the patio at Pure Taqueria in Brookhaven... Firstly.... Congrats on all of us surviving Monday.... Heart and prayers with each of you... My first order of business was margarita choices... kids, they have such a huge variety... Because it's better to give than receive, I chose the Giving Kitchen Peach-Marita Margarita... who knew crisp peaches and Marita peppers could collide and quench thirsts?!? For dinner, I am at a taqueria after all... I got the ... $12.49 TAQUITOS DE POLLO fried taquitos, chipotle chicken, fundido cheese, crema verde, lettuce, queso fresco, mexican crema The refried beans were spot on... the crema verde and fundido on the taquitos were dippable, crispy and had a nice balance of cream to heat ratio... Portion sizes are great for sharing or taking half for lunch the next day (that's me) Between the sunset, the margarita and the taquitos.... I may just make it through Monday after all... Thanks to Elizabeth R. and Pure Brookhaven for the Monday assist... Kimi

Cute place near where we were visiting. Plenty of parking, we visited on a weekday, but it got a little busy. Opted to sit inside, and it was pushing 90 degrees that day, the patio look really nice, I ordered the chillaquuilles (Excuse the spelling). I didn't expect a whole lot but it was a great tasting dish. I was surprised at the spicy news of it. There was some heat there! And generally tasted really good. My son had the burrito and well it disappeared. I think he liked it. Our server was wonderful friendly and just a sweet girl. I wish I remembered her name! It's a small place so a little tight getting in and out, and once it fills up it can be a little loud in there, but overall food was good, and it was a nice time there. With tip we averaged about $25 per person without drinks.

It was my first time here and we sat on the rooftop. I must say, Leslie was amazing. She provided exceptional customer service. So much I wanted to recruit her. I will definitely be back and I will always request her. Pure should be lucky to her as a part of their team. See you soon!!!

Yelp
Great atmosphere and beautiful building. Awesome service. Great place to go for drinks. Unfortunately all of that is somewhat ruined but the food which is below par. It tastes like if a cook guessed what Mexican food should taste like but has never eaten any. It has all the ingredients but no flavor. It looks pretty and interesting but tastes like well rice, beans, lettuce, and sour cream. Desperately needs better seasoning and/or sauces(salsa).

Justin N.

Yelp
The meal was fine but nothing crazy about it. Mac and cheese was definitely underwhelming but the tacos were good for dinner.

Kaung S.

Yelp
This place currently sites at a ~3 review average, and that is pretty accurate. I drive by Johnson Ferry quite often, and always see a packed upstairs for Pure. Well, after visiting, I think the people there are either there for the view, or just don't mind having OK Mexican food. I'm not sure how the process works to sit upstairs, but to their credit, we were able to get seats downstairs without a wait on a busy weekend dinner time. Also kudos to our server for being attentive and on point the whole time. However, where it falls apart is the food. Even from the out of the ordinary chips (different isn't always better), to OK queso, to bland tacos... this place turned out to be what I feared: a... let's say "suburbanized" version of ethnic food that maintains none of the flavors that actually make it great. The tortilla was dry, there was no verde sauce, and overall seasoning was just poorly done. And for all this to be a few bucks more than much better places nearby, definitely a crime, and one less star for that reason.

Amazing Food and Fantastic Staff. Always smiling faces. Wish they had the super bowl but I'm happy they their employees get to go home early and watch the game. GO (Winning team ) lol. Always enjoy the food, great wine. But my family and Imiss the grilled shrimp appetizer [Bring it back please it's AMAZING...fire grilled shrimp, can you go wrong?. I say No. But I still loved my chicken and shrimp fajita!!

Michael B.

Went to dinner with a friend, and I must say, these were pretty solid tacos. Let me back up first. The vibe, decor, ambiance of Pure Taqueria was relaxed and conducive to just going out and taking it easy. So plus there. The chips they brought out were piping hot and crispy. So often you go to a restaurant and get bleh chips. These were not. Now for the tacos. The al pastor was well marinated and seasoned. Slightly on the tough side, but overall a superb taco. The beans in the small container were pretty nicely spiced. It's the seasonings that make tacos special. So yes, I recommend Pure Taqueria.

It's pretty clear the owners do not care about COVID-19 precautions. My boyfriend and I specifically chose to eat here after reading online they have a patio AND rooftop (see screenshot attached). Upon arriving we were greeted by a man who appeared to be the manager or owner. We asked to sit on the patio and if we could have a heater. He said "heaters do not come on until 5 pm". We also inquired about the rooftop and he said "the rooftop is closed for the season". We decided to sit outside in the cold along with 3 other parties, while only 2 parties sat inside. It was frustrating to not only see 3 perfectly nice heaters not on, but also the guy who greeted us standing behind the bar with his mask below his nose the ENTIRE time. He also kept pulling his mask below his face to talk to customers at the bar. Alarming that he was not setting a good example for other employees. It blows my mind that one of the only restaurants in the area with ample outdoor seating would waste the opportunity to provide a comfortable and COVID safe environment for its customers. Also false advertising to explicitly state on the website the rooftop is open.. when clearly it wasn't. Instead of being excited to find a nice outdoor place to eat, I left pretty discouraged and frustrated. I do have to say the food was still tasty and the waiter provided great service, but I will not be returning until after the pandemic.

The service was okay but the food was delicious! I'm not even a fan of beans but those black beans were so good! My enchiladas were good too. Temperature was good and I liked the decor. Great place for authentic tasting Mexican food.

If you ove spicy Tex-mex this will be a favorite. Food: 3/5 Lots of spicy choices. My fav is the lamb burger with sauces on the side Even the fries are hot ! Frozen margaritas are one of their specialties Service : 5/5. Thank you ! Location: 5:5 if you are in the Brookhaven area or Druid hills Facility. 4/5. Nice roof top dining with umbrellas I. the summer but also ac inside. Restrooms upstairs are clean and are onesies Nice couches upstairs on roof in nice weather for spicy foods and cocktails or beer. Young vibe Location: Easy to find. Conveniently off major roads Lots of parking nearby.

Brad B.

Yelp
Pure is just ok. It has so much potential and everything on the menu sounds great... However, for my preferences, things are incredibly over-fried. Everything from tacos, taquitos, even the chips are double fried - leaving everything tasting very heavy. The big positive here is they make very good frozen margaritas - and the vibes are great and so is the service! So if you were just looking for drinks with not a ton of expectation from the food side - good spot! Perhaps ask for flour tortillas.

We never begin a review without thanking our friends at Yelp for providing a platform for the Voice of the Customer. This weeks review is about Pure Taqueria in Brookhaven, Ga On this early evening, I was craving Mexican food and decided to go to Pure Taqueria for what I thought would be a full-filling meal. (The restaurant had a nice crowd full of babies and large parties. ) All I can say is Inflation is real and has impacted their portion sizes. Back in the day the tacos had a nice amount of meat, but todays portion was 2 teaspoons at best. I had more tortilla than meat. The meat from all 3 tacos would have filled one taco. And the charro beans were less than 2 teaspoons ( I could count the number of beans) . Chips and Salsa are on demand like next weeks episode of Power. I was very disappointed to say it mildly. Increase the price but don't sacrifice your reputation and quality of food. On a good note I will say the libations were good and service was decent which is why they received 2 stars. I'm not sure if this will make the highly recommended list until they do a Walmart rollback on their portions sizes.

If I could no star this place I would. I was extremely unhappy with my experience here. The manager Mike told us that it's Pure's policy to scoop bugs out your drink and continue drinking it. They will not remake your drink if you're sitting on the rooftop. On top of it all these fans are so cold and blowing directly on you the whole time defeating the whole purpose of being OUTSIDE. We were the only 2 black people in there by the way. 10/10 would not recommend!

This review is LONG overdue! Pure is one of my go-to spots for margs and good food with friends. They have excellent rooftop, patio, and indoor seating. Service is always friendly and fast. I typically get the carne asada tacos or the chicken tacos, which come with a side of rice and beans. I personally am not the biggest fan of rice and beans (I know, it's blasphemous), but they will let you sub it out for plantains which is great! Their specials are normally awesome so be sure to try them if one catches your eye. Can't go wrong with the drinks but the pomegranate margarita is my personal favorite!

We enjoy the food and atmosphere. Very disappointed they are now cashless. strongly prefer to patronize local businesses that value customer preferences in this regard. Our servers have been very pleasant, no complaints there.

My first time at Pure, a group of us sat on the rooftop patio which was a great atmosphere. Most of the crew ordered drinks only. I ordered the Pomegranate Margarita which I thought was a little pricey at $13 but it was tasty and strong very strong so actually ended up being worth the price. I also had their fried chicken torta with fries, both delicious! I will def be back to make use of their outdoor patio again. I wasn't so crazy about their chips, they were a bit cold and thick. I prefer a more thin and crispy chip. And they are not complimentary.

Good tacos with a great atmosphere. Cool upstairs deck great for the summer months. A little bit pricey

My boyfriend and I choose to eat here often simply for the jalapeño margarita and the guacamole! It's some of the freshest I've tried, and they give you globs of if. The rooftop dining area also gives me major summer vibes, and the Carne Asada tacos are also delicious.

Finally!!! When I moved from Texas, I was unsure if I would find any Mexican food that would be delicious. I went to lunch here today and had the BEST service from Sean, we all loved him! He was knowledge and attentive. I will always request to sit in his section when I go back. I ordered the guacamole, and the lunch soup and taco special. The complimentary chips and salsa was delicious and then the guacamole reminded me of Texas. I was in heaven & very excited for my food to come out. The elote soup was divine! I did not care to burn my mouth on it as it's flavor was soooooo good! I highly recommend ordering this when it's available! The taco was gone in under a minute. I loved it and wished so ordered another so that moment didn't have to end. In the end, I completed everything and was not overly full. My only regret is that I didn't come when I didn't have to go back to work so I could try out their margaritas. I will definitely be back to explore more items on their menu as well as enjoy their rooftop patio! Highly recommend!!!
