Merla's Kitchen - Chicago

We've ordered their party platters of lumpia in pork and chicken for the last few holidays. Ordering and scheduling pickup is fast and easy. They are made fresh and are piping hot. They never last longer than an hour before we devour them all. So good!

Stopped in here while running errands and it was nice, almost hidden find. The woman working the front counter was super sweet. The menu has a lot of offer but we stuck with empanadas for quickness and they were good but I was really blown away with the egg rolls. There are plenty of other options on the menu but unfortunately we didn't have time to try more. Recommend: Egg rolls! These small guys surprisingly pack a flavorful punch. Generous portions for a side Atmosphere: Cute spot with fresh flowers at each table. During the time of our visit it was nice and quiet.

The food was decent, but the decor appears strange and unwelcoming.

This restaurant is a great spot to grab a quick and delicious fully prepared meal for either lunch or dinner. The food is tasty and authentic.

Merla's Kitchen has been amazing for me as a hungry Northeastern student attending night classes. I strongly suggest trying the empanadas - one is perfect for a big snack, while two can make a satisfying meal.
