About GrubHub
Thanks for finding us
Grubhub has been around longer than most of its competition. It started as web-based ordering back when that meant a restaurant's fax machine, long before app-based courier delivery existed, and it merged with Seamless in 2013 to become one company running two names.
That longevity is exactly why it is a habit for so many people. Habits are fine. This one just happens to cost a small kitchen a lot more than it looks like it does.
Thanks for checking whether we had our own ordering page before defaulting to the app. We do, and you are on it.

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 GrubHub. All company names are the property of their respective owners.
