Modern Mexican venue with cocktails, beers, and tacos
"A venue that hosted a themed pop-up called Notorious P.I.G. by the chef on Sunday, July 20, serving as one of the rotating locations for his debut pop-up's events." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Longtime Tres employee Fabien Santos flipped the Townsend Street tequila lounge into Merkado, a Mexican restaurant with ample outdoor seating less than a five-minute walk from Oracle Park. Beverages focus on agave spirits, mainly either smoky mezcal or tequila, while the food menu offers tacos, tortas, enchiladas, and tamales. Happy hour specials run Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. and first to last pitch during Giants’ home games." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The only Nigerian restaurant in San Francisco has since closed and pivoted entirely to catering and cooking classes. For Thanksgiving, you can get your hands on trays of their jollof rice, grilled turkey wings, puff puffs, and more. Pre-order online - pick-up is on November 24th." - julia chen 1
"I noted that Merkado is the kitchen space where chef Simileoluwa Adebajo is currently cooking for Eko Kitchen pop-ups, including the Feb. 18 "Homecoming" dinner." - Lauren Saria
"This Sunday, November 14, year-old mission-based Mexican restaurant Merkado will transform into an indoor-outdoor “makers market” featuring more than 20 artists from around the Bay Area. Called Makers & Margs, the event marks the first community event from Fabien Santos, who rebranded Merkado as a pay-it-forward pop-up space in mid-March 2020." - Clair Lorell
