About Postmates
Thanks for finding us
Postmates began as a general courier service — the pitch was that it would bring you anything from anywhere, food included — and it built a following long before most restaurants had an app presence at all. Uber acquired it in 2020 and folded it into Uber Eats.
Treating a plate of food like a parcel works right up until the fees are counted. Then it turns out a taco is not a parcel, and the margins are nothing alike.
So thanks for coming here directly. It costs you no more, and it leaves us in a far better position than any courier app can.
If you came looking for the best Mexican food in Brevard, stop looking. You are here.
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 Postmates. All company names are the property of their respective owners.
