DoorDash — or straight from El Güero?
Opened the app, then found us instead? Good. Here is what that is worth.

About DoorDash
Thanks for finding us
DoorDash is the largest food delivery marketplace in the United States, and for a lot of people it is simply where ordering dinner starts. It is also the parent company of Caviar, so two of the apps on your phone may well be running on the same network underneath.
None of which changes what happens to a taco between our flat top and your table. What it changes is how much of what you pay actually reaches the people who cooked it.
So thank you for landing here rather than tapping the first red icon you saw. It genuinely makes a difference to a truck this size.
If you were after the best Mexican food in Brevard, you have found it — and this is the cheapest way for both of us to get it to you.
The Part Nobody Shows You
Where your money actually goes
- Up to 30% Commission, paid by the restaurant. Published partner plans on the major delivery apps run in tiers, and the highest ones reach roughly 30% of the order total.
- ~3% Card processing, paid by the restaurant. Charged on top of the commission, on the full amount of the order.
- ~15% Service and delivery fees, paid by you. Added at checkout, separately from anything the restaurant is charged — and before the tip.
Counted together across both sides, something close to half the value of an order can end up going somewhere other than the kitchen that cooked it.
Fees vary by platform, by the plan a restaurant signs up for and by location; the figures above are general industry ranges rather than a quote for any one company.
The Alternative
Order straight from the truck
When you order direct from Taqueria El Güero there is no marketplace commission and no restaurant-side cut. You pay a small online ordering fee, and that is the end of it.
That is the whole reason our online prices are the same ones you would pay standing at the window on Rosman Highway. Nothing is padded to absorb a commission, because there is no commission to absorb.
It also means your money stays in Brevard. It pays the people working the flat top, it buys from the suppliers we use, and it keeps a small local business running — rather than being routed to a platform headquartered a long way from Transylvania County.
Taqueria El Güero is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by DoorDash. All company names are the property of their respective owners.
