We had a wonderful night sitting on the patio with our dogs. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. A lot of the menu is a la carte which makes it easy to try different things and share. The drink menu is also fun. The space could have comfier seating and the bathrooms need an upgrade

We had a wonderful lunch today – the Food & Service by Libby was wonderful. We always enjoy the positive atmosphere and fun decor. I usually get the nachos because they have a delicious flavor explosion but today I was feeling the AK’s Burger. It was cooked to perfection and served with fries. Don’t sleep on the caramelized onions and do add the cheese! Phillip enjoyed the Saudero Tacos because they are his favorite!
and if you find yourself here and see beignets offered, get them! They are only offered at special times and are AMAZING.

If you’re a taco enthusiast like me, prepare to be amazed at AK’s Mercado in Walla Walla. These are seriously some of the best tacos I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting!
Chef Andrae’s magic lies in his ability to transform simple dishes into gourmet experiences. Each taco I tried was a testament to this culinary skill. The menu, though rooted in simplicity, is elevated by these innovative and delicious twists.
The meats deserve a special mention. They are smoked with such care and precision that every bite is a flavorful journey. The smokiness is just right, enhancing the natural flavors of the meat without overpowering them. It’s evident that there’s a lot of passion and expertise that goes into this process.
But what truly sets AK’s Mercado apart is the fusion of BBQ and Mexican cuisine. This combination is nothing short of a culinary marriage made in heaven. The bold, smoky flavors of BBQ seamlessly meld with the fresh, vibrant notes of Mexican ingredients, creating a unique and unforgettable dining experience.
AK’s Mercado is a must-visit for anyone visiting Walla Walla. The gourmet spin on tacos and the perfect blend of BBQ and Mexican cuisine make it a standout culinary destination.

Phenomenal Tacos. Seriously, so freaking delicious. They are good size as well, so if you buy the 3 for $12, they will leave you satisfied. Staff is super friendly and amazing, as well as the atmosphere. Great way to spend a Saturday Afternoon.
I did not like their pastries unfortunately. 8m sorry, I really wanted to like them! It’s probably my fault though. I did the $4 desert sampler, thinking I was going to get a small bite size portion of 4 or 5 of their dessert options. Unfortunately, (for me) I got 2 full sized desert options. Both are deserts that don’t interest me. So that was just luck of the draw.

This place was pretty alright. We really enjoyed the fresh made margaritas. The food was enjoyable and the portions were large. Service was good. Based on my experience… overall we really had a good time and didn’t leave disappointed.

This was my first time at AK Mercado. The restaurant’s location on Main Street is ideal. The table arrangements and set up are nice and the restaurant’s atmosphere is quite pleasant. The staff was friendly and helpful. My husband and I shared the veggie burger and it was very good. In fact, my husband said this is one of the very best veggie burgers he’s had. As you can see from the photos, this veggie burger is not the burger imitation type that tries to emulate a real beef burger. Instead, this is more like the traditional, old fashioned veggie burger. The fries are fresh and taste wonderful. There’s a dill flavored dipping sauce that pairs quite well with the fries. One suggestion is: we’d like to see more veggie options offered. So far I’ve noticed the veggie tacos and veggie burger as the current options available. We look forward to next time at AK Mercado. Thank you.

Went here on a whim and I am glad that we did. This restaurant is positioned in a gas station, so it won’t feel completely like you are eating in a restaurant, when you walk in. You will get over that feeling, after you look over the menu. This restaurant serves up a little bit of everything. Lots of comfort food options! We had a really good experience.

Delicious food. Came on a recommendation, which was worth it. The voodoo fries and brisket taco are amazing. The wings were less of a hit with me, as they are more of a taco sauce coating flavor, but I’d absolutely go back for the fries and tacos.

I try to stop in whenever I’m in town for the great food. The Tacos Arabes are my favorite by far but all tacos I’ve tried here are great. Love the atmosphere too.

Never stopped in Walla Walla and was told that I had to try Ak’s on my way through to Idaho. Not disappointed one bit! This place is amazing! You HAVE to go on Thursday and get the Queso-Berria tacos! And the Pina colada drink was small but powerful. $13 a drink is really really steep but they were good
