Postmates brought you here for Mexican food? Stay for the aguas frescas.
Half of a good taco order is what you drink with it. We pour horchata, jamaica, and pepino con limón fresh, and keep Jarritos, sodas, and bottled water cold alongside them. On weekends there are tamales in banana leaves, chicken and pork, with red and green sauce.
¡Hecho con cariño!

A genuine thank you
Grateful you came looking for the truck
Aggregator apps are built to keep you inside them. You clicked out, found the taquería, and are reading this instead — which is the whole reason a small business bothers to keep its own website.
No pressure either way. If today you just wanted to know what we pour and when the tamales appear, that is a good enough reason to be here.
Where the money goes
Why a marketplace order costs more than it looks
Marketplace pricing is split across two invoices you never see side by side: a commission and processing charge taken from the restaurant, and service and delivery fees added to the customer's total.
Why a marketplace order costs more than it looks
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 a direct order actually costs
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
One small fee, and the rest stays here
Ordering through this page costs you a small ordering fee and nothing more. No commission leaves the kitchen, so the prices online are the same as the prices painted on the truck.
Poured fresh, priced the same
Horchata, jamaica and pepino con limón are made here and priced here. Ordering direct does not add a premium to a cup of agua fresca.
No cut taken from the kitchen
A direct order carries no commission, which is precisely why the online price and the window price are the same number.
One small ordering fee
That single fee is the whole of the extra cost. Nothing else is appended between your cart and your total.
Call ahead on weekends
Tamales are a weekend item and they do sell out. A quick call to the truck is the surest way to know what is ready.
