AK's Mercado is known for its tacos with a unique fusion of ingredients and flavor combinations, but it may surprise you to learn that they also serve some of the best burgers you've ever tasted.

Established in 2021, AK's Mercado takes culinary inspiration from Chef Andrae Bopp's love of New Orleans and his travels to Mexico and Central America.

AK's Mercado serves their tacos and in house-made tortillas with unexpected fillings like braised goat and roasted pineapple.

There are plenty of taco options to tempt your taste buds, but we recommend you don't overlook the burgers.

You might be surprised to find burger options on a menu that's primarily made up of Latin-influenced entrees, but this is no ordinary burger. Sink your teeth into the Left Coast Burger, which combines mouth-watering ground beef brisket, pickles, melting cheese, lettuce, and bacon served with fries.

Innovative and creative cuisine keeps people coming back for more.

The nachos at AK's Mercado are made with house chips, pickled red onions, black beans, jalapeños, and cheese, but you can really amp up the flavors by adding any of their taco fillings.

All tacos are available on torta rolls.

Choose any of the taco fillings and have them served on a house-made torta roll instead of a tortilla for a hearty lunch or dinner.

Try the signature Grandizada, a fruit slushie cocktail.

The drink menu offers a full line of delicious libations to complement your meal, including beer on tap, wine by the glass, cocktails, and mocktails.
