About Us

At Andale Taqueria & Mercado, we're driven by a passion for authentic, traditional Mexican cuisine and a love for fresh, vibrant market finds. For 13 years, our taqueria has been serving up fresh, made-from-scratch dishes that showcase the bold flavors and rich heritage of our beloved Mexico. Our mercado market offers a wide variety of fresh produce, meats, and specialty items, all carefully selected to bring you the best of Mexico's bounty.


Founded by Fernando Mellado-Barboza, who is very keen on family, tradition, and a commitment to quality. Our recipes have been passed down through generations, and we use only the freshest ingredients and time-honored cooking methods to bring you the real deal. From tender meats to vibrant veggies, every ingredient is carefully selected to ensure that every bite is a delight.
