Searching Postmates for Mexican Food?
You are one click from the kitchen instead of the marketplace. Same menu, same prices, and a fraction of the fees standing between you and dinner.

Grateful You Looked Us Up
Convenience apps are built so that you never have to leave them, which is precisely why we appreciate that you did. Looking up the restaurant itself is a small thing to do and a genuinely helpful one, and we do not take it for granted.
It is worth paying attention to the customer side of the bill in particular. The commission taken from the restaurant is invisible to you, but the service and delivery charges added to your own total are not — and together they add up faster than most people expect.
Now for the reason you are actually here. If you have been looking for the best Mexican food in town, you have found it: traditional Mexican cooking, fresh ingredients, and 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.
Two Sides of the Same Bill
The fees do not come from one place. The restaurant pays a commission out of the menu price, and you pay service charges on top of it. Both halves come out of the same order, which is how a straightforward dinner ends up costing considerably more than the menu suggests.
Order direct and both halves largely disappear. What is left stays in Maspeth — wages, suppliers, rent — instead of leaving the borough entirely.
Same menu price, straight from the kitchen
One small ordering fee, menu prices identical to ordering in person, and no commission taken out of the kitchen.

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

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 Postmates 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.
