Walking into PURE Taqueria, you’re immediately struck by the restaurant’s distinctive character – green and white chevron walls, garage doors doubling as windows that flood the space with natural light, and a vibrant bar area that serves as the heart of this modern Mexican eatery.
Recently, I had the pleasure of being invited by Chef Dianna to experience their menu, and let me tell you, it was a feast worth sharing.
Crafted Cocktails & Creative Starters
My culinary journey began with their Blood Orange Margarita, a perfectly balanced cocktail that sets the tone for what’s to come. The vibrant drink masterfully combines sweet, tart, and bitter notes, creating an ideal prelude to the meal. The Queso Con Todo elevates the humble cheese dip to new heights.
This isn’t your typical queso – it’s loaded with tender Tinga chicken, black beans, fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and spicy chile de arbol salsa, all served with crispy totopos. For seafood lovers, the Totopos De Salmon offers an innovative twist, featuring house-smoked salmon topped with habanero-avocado mayo, chimichurri, chipotle mayo, and a sprinkle of queso fresco.
Main Course Magic
The Camarones A La Parrilla showcases grilled, chili-crusted shrimp served atop corn masa cakes. This dish is a symphony of flavors, with the smoky-spicy shrimp complemented by fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and a rich charred tomatillo salsa.
The Torta De Carne Y Chorizo is a sandwich lover’s dream. This hefty creation combines steak, spicy chorizo, and an unexpected but delicious addition of ham, all pressed between ciabatta bread with avocado, jalapeño, green peppers, and melted chihuahua cheese.
Each bite delivers a perfect balance of flavors and textures. For those seeking comfort food with a kick, the Sopa de Limon y Pollo offers a soothing chicken broth enhanced with chipotle chicken, rice, avocado, and queso fresco, brightened by fresh pico de gallo and lime.
Sweet Finale
Save room for dessert! The Pay de Limón (Key Lime Pie) arrives in a generous portion perfect for sharing. This tangy treat, served with fresh strawberries and cream, provides a refreshing end to your meal.
Why PURE Stands Out
PURE Taqueria has successfully brought its Atlanta-born concept to Columbus, offering a fresh interpretation of Mexican cuisine that honors traditional flavors while introducing creative twists. The restaurant’s modern atmosphere, combined with Chef Dianna’s thoughtful menu, creates an engaging dining experience that keeps customers coming back for more.
