Came Here From Seamless?
A New York habit, and an understandable one. But ordering straight from the kitchen costs you the same and leaves a great deal more behind in the neighborhood.

Thanks for Coming Straight to Us
Seamless is about as New York as ordering food gets, and for a lot of people it is simply the default. Going around the default to find the restaurant's own page takes a conscious decision, and we are grateful you made it.
None of this is a complaint about people who use the apps — we understand exactly why they do. It is just that the cost of that convenience is invisible at checkout, and once you can see it, the choice looks different.
And on the food: if you were looking for the best Mexican food in the city, stop looking. 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.
Local Money, Local Kitchen
New York neighborhoods are held together by small businesses that spend their money on the same blocks they earn it. We hire locally, we buy locally, and our rent goes to a building in Maspeth. A commission paid to a national platform does none of those things.
Ordering direct is the single easiest way for a customer to decide which of those two outcomes happens — and it costs you nothing to choose the local one.
Same menu price, straight from the kitchen
Same kitchen, same menu, same price you would pay in person. Only one small ordering fee, and nothing skimmed off the restaurant.

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