What does "it makes for " mean?
People often buy pastel at these places in the daytime because it makes for a quick, delicious and very cheap lunch that they can eat while shopping in the street market. This crispy pastry really satisfies your hunger!
What does "it makes for " mean?
I don't know what it refers to.
Could you explain?

Hi Terry,
English is my native language, but this is something that was never explained to me. I have always translated "it makes for" as "it makes ( it provides ) a situations where ..."
Hope this helps!

It means that it can be used to make a good lunch, or that it will constitute a good lunch. (I'm not really sure what food 'pastel' actually is.)
Someone might say cheese and crackers make for a good snack, or that a stick makes for a good weapon in a pinch. It's about taking something and making it into something useful.

In this context 'it makes for' means 'it is good for' .
"It is good for a quick, and delicious lunch"
