In the heart of Walla Walla, Washington’s Main Street, nestled among wine bars and a vibrant downtown, you’ll find a restaurant like no other. 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.
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.
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.
With a wide range of scrumptious breakfast and brunch options, you'll satisfy your hunger in the most delicious way.
The next time you’re in the Walla Walla area, check out AK’s Mercado for tantalizing tacos, tortas, and yes, even surprisingly delicious burgers. You won’t be disappointed. While you’re in wine country, you might want to check out these local wineries in Central Washington.
