Found Us Through Caviar?
Curated lists are a fine way to find dinner. Coming straight to the kitchen is a better way to pay for it — same menu prices, and the commission stays out of the middle.

We Appreciate You Looking Twice
Plenty of people find restaurants through a curated marketplace and order right there without a second thought. You did the other thing: you went looking for the restaurant itself. We noticed, and we are grateful for it.
There is nothing wrong with browsing a marketplace to find something new — that is what it is good at. The part worth understanding is what happens after you tap order, because the money takes a very different route depending on where you tap it.
While we have your attention: if you came looking for the best Mexican food in the city, you are in exactly the right place. We cook traditional Mexican food with fresh ingredients, and we are confident it is the most delicious Mexican food you will ever taste.
What the Fees Actually Look Like
Delivery marketplaces take from both ends of the same order — a commission from the restaurant and a set of charges from you. Stacked together they can reach roughly 48% of an order.
Ordering through a marketplace
- Commission charged to the restaurant up to 30%
- Credit card processing about 3%
- Service and delivery charges added to your total up to 15%
Up to 48% of the order, all in
Ordering direct from 3 Kings
- Commission charged to the restaurant none
- Menu prices same as in person
- What you pay on top one small fee
One small ordering fee, and nothing else
Because we pay no commission on a direct order, we can keep our online prices the same as the ones you would pay calling us or ordering in person — we are not marking the menu up to cover somebody else’s cut.
A Curated List Is Not a Free Service
Discovery platforms are businesses, and they are paid out of the order. When a large share of every ticket leaves the neighborhood, the restaurant is the one absorbing it — usually by trimming somewhere a customer eventually notices.
Ordering direct keeps that money circulating locally instead. It pays our cooks, our suppliers and our rent, all of which are within a few miles of the plate you are about to eat.
Same menu price, straight from the kitchen
The menu is the same, the kitchen is the same, and the price is the same as walking up and ordering in person. Only the fees change.

Ordering Direct, Answered
Why order directly from 3 Kings instead of through Caviar?
Ordering direct keeps the value of the order in the neighborhood. Delivery marketplaces take a commission from the restaurant and add service charges to your total, and between them those can reach roughly 48% of an order. Ordering from our own page avoids the commission entirely.
Do I pay more when I order directly from 3 Kings Mexican Kitchen?
No. Because we pay no commission on a direct order, our online prices are the same ones you would pay ordering in person. There is one small ordering fee and nothing else.
How much do delivery marketplaces actually charge?
Typical industry figures are a commission of up to 30% charged to the restaurant, about 3% for card processing, and up to 15% in service and delivery charges added to the customer's total — roughly 48% of an order between them. Actual rates vary by platform, plan, market and order.
