Stick-to-your-ribs Sonoran dishes from the Mexico/Arizona border abound at this Lincoln Park cantina. Choose from daily specials like enchiladas stuffed with carnitas or cheese, or carryout friendly staples like DIY vegetable or meat taco kits with flour tortillas, refried beans, Mexican rice, and chips and guacamole. PSA: Begin every meal with the specialty Sonoran cheese crisp, also known as an open-faced quesadilla. We love the vegetarian green chile, smothered in three kinds of cheese and tangy Hatch chiles. House margarita kits with flavors like hibiscus prickly pear make it an at-home fiesta. Order here for pickup and delivery, or call (773) 697-3727.

This family-owned Vietnamese mainstay has developed some of the city’s best options for meal kits and heat-and-serve family dinners. Think pho for four with rice noodles and spring rolls, or classic banh mi kits outfitted with pate, Vietnamese pork, ham, cut veggies, mayo and French baguettes. A bevy of all-day, à la carte options include banh mi, stir-fried noodles and curries. You can also make a donation toward feeding health care workers who visit this minichain’s Northwestern Memorial location. Order pickup and delivery or pre-order meal kits here.

This sleek storefront specializes in mouthwatering Chengdu street food, meaning most dishes are blanketed in a numbing, spicy combination of crushed Szechuan peppercorns and dried chiles. Our must-orders include cold-braised duck necks, crinkly Chengdu fries (which hold their own nicely in transit), BBQ spare ribs and pliant, pork-filled bell dumplings swimming in crimson volcano broth. Cool your singed palate with a water-jelly cake for dessert — a parfait-like creation made from water, sugar, and agar jelly. Order here for pickup and delivery.

If a few sunny days in the 60s have you ready for summer barbecue, but you can’t be bothered to fire up the smoker, call on Alpine smokehouse Flat + Point. Chef Brian Bruns’ online store slings everything from ready-to-eat smoked brisket and baby back ribs to cook-at-home grill kits featuring assorted smoked sausages, pre-smoked pork chops and brisket tamales complete with slaw and potato salad. You’ll also find a (limited!) selection of expertly house-baked bread loaves, bagels, cookies and take-and-bake cinnamon rolls. Order here for curbside pickup Wednesday through Sunday.

If you’ve missed the kinetic energy of this close-knit, Mediterranean shared-plates eatery, experience the transportive power of its iconic dishes at home; avec returned for carryout and delivery early this month. Enjoy à la carte classics like bacon-wrapped dates and focaccia with hummus, plus comforting dinners for two or four, from rotisserie chicken roti to weekly rotating family meals, like confit duck leg tagine with Little Gem fattoush salad and strawberry-rhubarb crisp. Home bar kits and curated beer and wine bundles round things out. Menus and ordering details here.

After a short hiatus, this family-owned deli is back, offering some of the city’s best sandwiches on crackly-edged French bread, like savory breaded steak with provolone, tomato and garlic aioli, and spicy Italian subs packed with soppressata, capicola, provolone, and housemade giardiniera. Comforting daily specials like eggplant parm sandwiches and tender meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy sell out fast. Call (773) 373-2688 for pick-up and delivery daily.

This hybrid wine shop and eatery leaned into retail early, and has fully hit its stride with its Social Distancing Edition, comprising a wine-and-sundries shop, meal-kit service and even a wine-and-cheese hotline. Build your ideal happy-hour spread from a dropdown menu featuring cheese and meat boards, snacks like olives and nuts, and assorted tinned fish. To drink, you’ll find mostly local beers like Hopewell’s crushable First Pils, and plenty of low-intervention wine (we love the super-fresh pét-nat from Maryland winery Old Westminster). But for more personalized recommendations on any of the above, just call (773) 661-1599 and ask. Order here for pickup and delivery.

This 20-year steakhouse fixture offers up a bit of decadence to go, via rich lobster mac and cheese, filet mignon with garlic whipped potatoes, and a stellar wedge salad with Maytag blue cheese. New-since-lockdown dishes include succulent baby back ribs with fries and slaw, and a twist on the Firehouse’s beloved braised short rib special — now piled onto a grilled cheese sandwich with grilled onion jam. Order here for curbside pickup from Tuesday through Sunday.

Midwestern comfort food and freshly brewed beers and ciders await at this women-owned North Side brewpub. Preorder growlers of beer (we love easy-drinking Kildare-ya pale ale) and cider (crisp, tart Pedestrian) for pickup Monday through Saturday. On the food side, we like Eris’ handhelds best, like the bacon-wrapped Polish dog with caramelized onions and the crispy Southern tofu sandwich with vegan slaw and house Nashville hot sauce. While we’re at it, let’s add a peanut butter pie. Order here for curbside pickup.
