Glad You Made It Here
Grubhub has been around long enough that ordering through it is muscle memory for a lot of New Yorkers. Breaking that habit takes a deliberate effort, and the fact that you made it means something to a kitchen our size. Thank you for searching us out.
Marketplaces did not start out taking this much. Commissions climbed steadily as the platforms competed with each other, and restaurants absorbed the increases because being absent from the apps felt worse than being on them. Most customers never see any of that math.
So let us be direct about the food too: if you are after the best Mexican food in town, you found it. Traditional recipes, fresh ingredients, and what we believe 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.
Keeping It in the Neighborhood
Every order placed directly with us keeps its value close to home. It pays the people cooking it, the suppliers we buy from, and the bills on a small storefront in Maspeth — money that would otherwise be routed to a corporate account far outside Queens.
Small restaurants run on thin margins. Whether a third of each ticket stays or leaves is genuinely the difference between a kitchen that lasts and one that quietly closes.
Same menu price, straight from the kitchen
Order from our own page and you pay menu price, exactly as you would over the phone, with none of the commission stacked on top.

Ordering Direct, Answered
Why order directly from 3 Kings instead of through Grubhub?
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.

Came From a Different App?
3 Kings Mexican Kitchen is an independent restaurant. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or partnered with Grubhub or any other delivery marketplace, and their names are used here only to describe where you may have been searching. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. The percentages above are typical industry figures for third-party delivery marketplaces rather than the published rates of any single company; actual commissions and customer fees vary by platform, plan, market and order, and change over time.
