★ You were browsing Postmates ★
Postmates was acquired by Uber in 2020. The icons on your phone still look different from each other; the economics underneath have been converging for years. Here is the part that does not change.
Somewhere between opening an app and picking a restaurant, you went looking for the actual place. That instinct is what keeps small kitchens alive in Prince George’s County. We are grateful you followed it all the way to a taco truck on Annapolis Road.
★ Where the money goes ★
As the delivery business has folded into fewer and fewer owners, the pricing has stayed remarkably consistent: a commission from the restaurant, processing on the transaction, and fees on the customer. Fewer independent options does not mean a better deal for either end of the order. Here is a $40 meal, laid out plainly.

You pay about $46. The kitchen keeps about $26.80. That is roughly 48% of the order absorbed before anyone cooks anything. Illustrative example — rates vary by platform, plan and market.

That’s it.
★ Why it matters ★
When you order straight from us, there is no commission coming out of the kitchen. You pay a small ordering fee and nothing else — which is exactly why the price you see here is the same price you’d pay calling the truck or walking up to the window. No inflated menu, no surprise stack at checkout.
That difference does not go into a corporate account. It stays in Hyattsville, buying meat and masa from local suppliers and paying the people who cook your food. A neighborhood keeps its small businesses by spending money directly with them — it really is that simple.
One truck, one kitchen, no middleman. Tacos, burritos, tortas, cemitas, huaraches and a kids menu that actually gets eaten. Order direct and you get the most delicious Mexican food around at the same menu price you’d pay standing at the window.
Our online ordering charges you a small fee and takes no commission from the kitchen. Delivery and pickup are both handled at checkout.
Rather do it the old-fashioned way? Call (240) 940-8149 or come to the window at 4606 68th Ave, Hyattsville, MD 20784.
