Pure Taco is my favorite Taco restaurant. All the food is excellent! We brought a few employees from our office over after work. Food was great! Drinks were great! Not your average taco shop, very creative menu. Must try shrimp taco's! The General Manager and his team are vey efficient and friendly!!! I highly recommend Pure Taco!

very cool hang out for tacos and more. We went there for a late lunch, but the bar and patio seating screams the kind of place you want hang out for a bit. We each had a taco and split a salad. sooo good. certain I'll stop by again before leaving town. Bonus - VERY fresh handmade corn tortillas, and they even took precautions to reduce likelihood of cross contamination for my gluten free meal. super friendly and casual. try it, you won't be sorry.

Cbad village is always crowded during the weekend but what's nice about this place besides the fact they are right outside of the crowded, congested area in the village, they also have reasonable paid parking in the back of the restraunt. We parked for two hours on a Sunday at noon at paid 3.31. My husband and I sat at the bar, there was no wait and ordered a couple of drinks and so chips with salsa and guac which all came within 5 minutes which was awesome because we were already pretty hungry when we got there. The bartender, O'seanea (I know I probably spelt that wrong) was awesome. We ended up having a couple drinks and some more food - even tried their door whip. Presently surprised by the atmosphere, the food, and the service. We'll definitely be back.

Great food! It was a little rainy and the patio stayed nice and dry and warm. They have some great screens that can come up if it's sunny and strong patio heaters for when it's a little chilly. There are plenty of gluten free options. All the tacos are so unique and two of us split a Full Flight of 9 tacos. The Korean one and the Grilled Fish were amazing! All had very fresh ingredients and the sauces were delicious. They have a bar area as well. Highly recommend and will definitely be back when it's sunny too.

My husband brought me in for a late Mother’s Day lunch, and we had such a great experience! We sat at the bar and were warmly welcomed by the bartender, Osheana. Her personality and energy were amazing—she truly made the visit memorable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

LOVE THIS PLACE! Kid Friendly and Dog Friendly - do I need to say more? Love the location. Love love the Philly Taco - the thin flour tortilla with white cheese sauce to AMAZE-BALLS!!!!! The Pho taco is just as good if not better!!! Not your typical taco place so it's fun to go here even if you are not feeling "Mexican". Oh, the Manger is super friendly....We will ALWAYS BE BACK!!!!!

2 for 5 bucks Baja fish tacos, hard to beat. They weren't the best but at that price they were. Both salsa and cream were good too but also could have had more flavor and/or heat. Still fully enjoyed and would have liked to try a few of their other fusion tacos remember sounded real good

Tortillas take center stage. Corn tortillas made fresh to order, flower tortillas just as good. Had multiple green curry shrimp and Baja fish. My 11 year old said it was the best tacos he’d ever had and he only eats pizza and burgers definitely coming back. Great service and location.
