Take a tip from RJ and go with the Salmon Bowl or the Pure Greens Salad because, as he pointed out, “if you're thirsty, they have a full bar... Try their Pure Marg! It's made with an orange simple syrup that packs a unique flavor.”
That sounds healthy, a salmon bowl, a salad, and a drink with citrus! Better yet, come between 3 and 6 on weekdays to save $3 Off all cocktails and grab some Purely Loaded Nachos to go with it for just $5.

We love hearing from you! 💬“We It's a solid taco shop featuring a modern fusion of flavors!,” said RJ from Carlsbad. “Pure's menu is a melting pot of various global cuisines, but delivered in classic Mexican dishes like tacos, burritos, nachos and salads. The staff is great and the open air order-at-the-counter setup screams SoCal. I've a lot of menu items, but some of my favorites include the Baja Fish Taco, Korean Pork Bo Ssam Taco… ” 🌮🌮

Happy Taco Tuesday, the day when we have food and drink specials all day long (including the $5 loaded nachos) that had Daisy and friends come two days in a row! Plus, if you come between 3 and 6, you can double up with the Very Happy Hour specials too!
Read what Daisy G had to say about our Very Happy Hour:
“We arrived for happy hour… and the vibe was amazing. The aesthetic is clean, modern, and welcoming. Their tequila selection is absolutely on point, and our bartender, O'Sheana, was outstanding. She went above and beyond and had an impressive knowledge of the tequilas they offer. I can honestly say it was one of the best margaritas l've ever had, and the Paloma was just as great. We ordered the happy hour nachos and loved the cheese sauce-so legit and incredibly good. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the very next day with friends…”

We get it... You need a pick me up to properly kick off the weekend. Our bartenders are shaking up frothy Espresso Martinis to check that box. ✔️ They are a little bit creamy and a little bit sweet with a robust coffee flavor.
Come between 3 and 5 pm to snag yourself one and save $3 during our Very Happy Hour!
They are made with Titos Vodka, Borghetti Caffe Espresso Liquor, Chario Double Espresso, and hand shaken with love. 💛🦙
