Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Biergarden at none against Pure Taco's shown. Biergarden also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pure Taco's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (29 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
