My husband loves Ethiopian food and was super excited to finally try this food truck since it had amazing reviews. It also has been hard for us to catch it. Unfortunately, I am supremely disappointed in this first (and probably only) visit. I was told a 20-30min wait for our food. My family and I waited inside Fortnight for 30ish minutes before coming back outside to grab our food. We were then told, it’s coming we are next.

Merkato was so good! My friend recommended we try it and I’m so glad we did. The husband and wife cooking are so incredibly kind. Our food was so good and were really nice portion sizes. I could eat those red lentils with injera everyday. Can’t wait to go again!

I was very fortunate to have the folks at Merkato visit our apartment complex! My chronic illness makes it very hard to tolerate even mild spice at times, so I asked them what they would recommend. I got the beets dish with lentils, cabbage/kale and a side of bread. Everything looks, smells, and tastes SO good. Not spicy, but VERY flavorful! Worth every penny! Give them a try, their food is fantastic. :)
