You came here from an Uber Eats search
Looking for Taquería Vela on Uber Eats? Order straight from the window.
The meat is where a taquería is judged, so here is the whole roster: pastor, asada, pollo, birria, and chorizo, with tripa, cabeza, and lengua available for an extra charge. Whatever you choose goes onto handmade tortillas with onion, cilantro, and lime, or onto a plate with rice and beans.
¡Hecho con cariño!

A genuine thank you
Thank you for looking for us by name
There is a difference between ordering Mexican food and ordering from a particular taquería. You were looking for a specific place, and you took the time to find its actual page. We noticed, and we are grateful.
If you have ordered from us before through an app, this is simply the cheaper door into the same kitchen. Same cooks, same griddle, same recipes from the family's grandmothers.
Where the money goes
What comes off the top of an app order
The convenience of a marketplace is paid for twice — once by the restaurant through a commission and card processing, and once by you through service and delivery fees added at checkout.
What comes off the top of an app order
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 comes off a direct order
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
Same food, fewer hands in the till
Order here and there is a single small ordering fee. Nothing is deducted from the restaurant's side, so the menu price stays the menu price and the difference stays with the people cooking and with Burien.
Same cooks, same griddle, lower cost
This is not a different kitchen or a different menu. It is the same truck, reached through a door that costs everyone less.
Menu prices, not platform prices
Because no commission is deducted, we do not need a separate, higher price list for online orders. One menu, one set of prices.
One small fee and no surprises
A single ordering fee shown up front, in place of service fees, delivery fees and small-order fees stacked at checkout.

Came looking through a different app?
If you had gone looking on one of the other apps instead, you would have arrived at the same conclusion. Here they are.
