Hunting Grubhub for a real Mexican plate? Pull up a plate here instead.
Some nights a taco is not enough. Our plates come the way a plate should: the main event, Mexican rice, beans, and handmade tortillas alongside. Enchiladas under sauce with crema and queso. Flautas fried to a crackle. Carne asada, carnitas, birria de res.
¡Hecho con cariño!

A genuine thank you
Thank you for coming the rest of the way
It would have been easier to order from whichever listing appeared first. Instead you found the truck itself, which means the money and the credit both land where the cooking actually happens.
We are a small operation. An order that comes straight to us is worth noticeably more to this family than the same order routed through a marketplace, and we do not take that lightly.
Where the money goes
Why the same plate costs more through a marketplace
Delivery platforms make money from both sides of one transaction. The restaurant pays a commission, card processing is deducted as well, and the customer picks up service and delivery charges at checkout.
Why the same plate costs more through a platform
Typical industry ranges
- Commission charged to the restaurant up to 30%
- Credit card processing about 3%
- Service and delivery fees added to your total up to 15%
Taken out of one order as much as 48%
What that plate costs ordered direct
What you actually pay
- A small ordering fee, shown before you pay small
- Commission taken from the restaurant none
- Menu prices marked up to cover a platform none
Extra cost to you one small fee
About these numbers. The percentages above are typical published ranges across third-party delivery platforms as a category, not a quote of any single company’s current rates. Commission structures vary by platform, by the plan a restaurant is on, and by market, and customer-side service and delivery fees vary by order. The proportions in the bars are illustrative.
Our own ordering fee is shown to you before you pay, and our menu prices online are the same as our menu prices at the truck.
Ordering direct
Direct means one small fee and honest menu prices
When you order here, you pay a small ordering fee — that is the entire extra cost. Because no commission comes out of our side, we can list the same prices online that we charge in person, instead of padding them to survive a platform's cut.
Full plates at truck prices
Enchiladas, flautas, carnitas — served with rice, beans and handmade tortillas, at the price we charge in person rather than a platform-adjusted one.
Nothing skimmed off the kitchen
No commission leaves our side of the order, which is what makes holding those prices possible in the first place.
One clear fee at checkout
You pay a small ordering fee and that is the end of the additions. No service fee, no separate platform charge.
Local spending, local jobs
A plate ordered direct supports a Burien family business and the people it employs, instead of paying a percentage out of the area.

However you found us
Came looking through a different app?
This holds regardless of which app you were searching. If it was one of the others, the direct option works exactly the same way.
