You're missing some basics. hg pull will never update local files (unless you use -u but don't do that). So first you need to get the changeset that defines the tag onto the server:

hg pull origin

That pulls over all the changesets but doesn't update any files. Then if you want all the files on the server to match those of the today tag you do:

hg update today

That makes sure all the files look like they do at the today tag. That command does no network activity at all -- it's just getting files out of the local repository you filled up using pull.

If you really, really want to only update those 3 files you'd do:

hg update --rev file1 pathto/file2 other/path/to/file3

In general though you should try find a workflow where all the files in your server's working directory are at the same revision. Files checked out at different revisions in the same repository was a svn sort of thing -- git and hg don't generally work that way.
