Merey Venezuelan Cuisine

Súper friendly little spot. They food is good and my husband loves it, I like it but there’s is always something missing. For the amount of food you get I feel is a tad bit pricey (pre inflation opinion) but I guess you pay for the Venezuelan food which is not common in the area.

Merey has to be one of my favorite restaurants in all of Highland Park and a constant go-to for me and my partner. We order take-out from them at least a few times a month. Food is always excellent and fresh, portions are generous, and they're always consistent with the quality and packaging. Their chicken empanadas and green sauce is something I crave on a weekly basis. The pabellon is one of my favorites and a dish we order every time -- their plantains are cooked perfectly, the beans are well-seasoned, and the beef is so, so, so, so so good. The owners are also the sweetest people ever. I'd give this place ten stars if I could.

Such a good place. First, the food is authentic Venezuelan flavor. Customer service was welcoming and friendly. The owners were friendly. My husband and I order arepa, cachapa, chicha, tres leches cake, and corn cake, and everything tastes delicious. The food was available in 15-20 minutes. If you are near, this is a must-have spot.

Try the classic patacon and wash it down with a papelón con limón. Bonus: the tres leches cake was made fresh in house that morning...best I've ever had.
