Merkado
Merkado is dedicated to the food and spirit of Jalisco, the state in Mexico where 98% of all Tequila is produced. Our specialty is fresh, hand-squeezed lime margaritas using only 100% blue agave Tequila. Our traditional Jaliscan cuisine is wholesome and rustic, using al pastor and wood-burning ovens. Located just 1 block from Oracle Park, our historic building with exposed brick and wood beams is the ideal spot for comfortable but upscale events. Join us for one of our Margarita Making or Tequila Tasting Classes, both unique and interactive experiences that will leave a lasting memory with your guests.
