Pure Taqueria Brookhaven: Authentic Mexican Flavors in Atlanta

Absolutely love this place! The patio was very comfortable and quiet. Inside is a bit louder. But we really enjoyed the patio and the comfortable seats. The chips withe the queso are amazing. Very light and perfectly salty. The chicken enchiladas were different but great flavor. Their margaritas are also perfect. Can't wait to come back to try more!

Very tasty drinks and food! The atmosphere is inviting and the employees are super nice. Loved it here.

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!

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.

Stopped through here for happy hour and sat at the bar to watch UGA v. Gonzaga recently. Attentive service and I highly recommend the margaritas and the empanadas de camarones. Fantastic all around.

Great rooftop patio (when it’s open). Food leaves something to be desired. And it’s a bit pricey not to be better. They should lean in to better, smaller portioned (and priced) food. We go maybe 2x a year and now really just munch on chips with drinks. But if the food was better (and cheaper) we’d go at least monthly if not more.

Excellent service! We went for lunch and Yuri made our dining experience exceptional! The fried plantains are fantastic! Steak fajitas I also recommend ! This is such a unique restaurant to visit. We will be back!
