🍟RESTAURANT FEATURE OF THE WEEK: PURALIMA

Puralima…think Chipotle. The upscaled version.

They have it all…tacos, burritos, incredible queso, and of course…guac.

They also feature three fresh, delicious, made-from-scratch limeades (mango, strawberry, and lime) and even serve up margaritas (classic, frozen, and skinny).

Their mantra is to use traditional methods to make incredible food, help others create connections through gathering together, and boost spirits with inspiring spaces.

So far, it’s working.

You can order online for pick-up or dine-in.

Their new location in Wayzata is located at:

📍740 Lake Street East, Wayzata, MN, 55391

There are several new locations on the way as well.
