This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and the lovely owner suggested the Merkato special so I could get alittle taste of everything. This food is AMAZING!!!! So incredible flavorful and a great portion of food. I devoured my plate lol. Definitely check them out.

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. We decided to wait outside thinking we were really next. We waited another 30min outside before I went back up to the window to check on our food. I was told again, we were next. I asked how much longer and mentioned we had been waiting already for an hour. He then told me 10min more. As we waited more, I noticed he told everyone who ordered 20-30min and everyone who came back up to check on their food that they were “next” or that there were only 4-5 orders ahead of them. When we finally got our food, I noted that we had waited 96min for our food.
I had my young toddler with me and regretted ordering when the wait times given were not realistic or true at all. I drove 20min out of my way to try this food truck. Lastly, the food portions were super tiny compared to the price, making this an expensive to-go meal☹️

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. 🙂

First off, the couple that operate the Merkato food truck are the sweetest people you will meet. We have eaten there probably a dozen times now and have always been greeted with a friendly smile and appreciation for our business. The food is always fresh, delicious, and a generous portion. If you are looking to try something new give Merkato a try.

My husband brought me the veggie plate on a whim one day and I’ve not stopped thinking about it. I’ve since located the truck twice and have gotten additional items including the very delicious chickpea dish. I’m 30 weeks pregnant and cannot get enough!!! Highly recommend. The owners are also super accommodating and kind. Can’t wait to have again and again!

I was craving Ethiopian food yesterday and the place I usually order from was closed. I googled to see if there was another place nearby and found Merkato. I went with the owner’s recommendation. The food filled the air with a delicious aroma, I couldn’t wait to eat my food at home (long drive away). My husband and I shared both meals and devoured it, wanting more. I’m glad I found Merkato!! I wish you would come to my neighborhood in Garner.

I was excited to try this food since it’s hard to find in Raleigh. I tried the food truck at Tap Yard. The food was fresh, hot, and comforting. I got a few veggies with the chicken, which was seasoned really well. The owner came to check to see how the food was, which was very nice. I’d definitely recommend.

We miss our Ethiopian restaurant in town (it closed) so we traveled to try this one out, and without a doubt, perfection! The spices and flavors were spot on!!! We will be following this truck for years to come!
