Merkato Cafe’ Ethiopian Food Truck

Came across this food truck and never had Ethiopian food so wanted to give this a try. We got the merkato special which came with everything (chicken, beef, lentils and cabbage). It was really good and flavorful. The spice level was mild and the injera (flatbread) was very good and airy. The service was fast and the safe was friendly.

The food is great, but the owners are even better! Such sweet people. I order the combo platter every time - gets the most bank for my buck. Can't wait until they're back on my side of town so I can grab a bite again!

Delicious food and large portions. My husband, who's never sated, even got "stuffed" Staff were very friendly as wellI'd highly recommend this food truck!

This place was great food and the staff could not be nicer.Very authentic food , I have missed the injera bread and the chicken ribs were awesome.We will definitely be back and it was cool to see other stuff on the menu for folks to get that might be intimidated by the regular menu

Best food I've had in a long time! Highly reccomend. I will look for Merkato every time I am in the area!

Omg yes I love their food. The couple is so sweet - great service. Cuisine is fresh and I could have the vegetable platter all day. The meat platter is good as well, but the creative use of spices in the veggies is spot on.

Not only is the food amazing and one of a kind but so is the owner. He's the nicest and happiest man I've ever met. The food is full of flavor! HIGHKY recommend.
