BATW members gathered for Happy Hour on July 21st at Merkado in San Francisco, just one block from Oracle Park. Organized by BATW president, Amy Sherman, it was wonderful so catch up with fellow members and their guests, while enjoying margaritas and a delicious variety of Mexican cuisine that was generously contributed by Merkado.

The group also received a tour of Merkado, led by owner and our gracious host Fabian Santos. The restaurant features authentic Mexican street food from Jalisco and Yucatán, a selection of over 300 tequilas and mezcals, and offers private event spaces for both small and large groups. -Photos and recap by Shannon Gomes

Host Fabian Santos is an inspiration; he told us about some of the community-based activities he’s involved with. Also, the food and margaritas were excellent.
