Grateful You Made It This Far
It would have been easier to order through the marketplace you started on. You looked us up instead, and you are considering sending the order our way. Thank you for that.
Nothing about your food changes by ordering direct — same kitchen, same menu, same prices. What changes is how much of your payment ever reaches it.
On the menu
Tortas and Handheld Plates
A torta is lunch that holds up: bread, filling, and enough of it to carry you through the afternoon. The sopes are for when you would rather eat with your hands and a fork both.
Here are a few options from our menu. Availability and the full list are on our online ordering page.
- Torta $14.10
- Torta Salvaje $16.20
- Sopes $13.10
- 1 Sope $5.99
- Jamaica $5.50
- Guacamole $3.99
Menu selections, availability, and pricing may change. Taco prices are listed on the printable menu plus tax. Please use online ordering for the latest information.
The part nobody advertises
What Ordering Direct Actually Changes
Lunch should be simple. The pricing behind a marketplace order is not — there are commissions on the restaurant side and fees on yours, stacked on the same sandwich.
Through a delivery marketplace
Fees stack on both sides of the order
-
Commission charged to the restaurant up to 30%
Taken out of the food you ordered, before the kitchen sees a cent.
-
Credit card processing about 3%
Charged on top of the commission above.
-
Fees charged to you, the customer around 15%
Service and delivery fees added at checkout, separate from the tip.
Added together across both sides, as much as 48% of what the order generates can go to fees rather than to the food.
Direct from La Chaparrita de Kent
One small fee, and that is the end of it
-
No commission on the restaurant. Nothing is deducted from the order before it reaches the kitchen.
-
The same menu prices you would pay calling us or walking up to the window. We are not marking the menu up to absorb a commission, because there is not one.
-
A small ordering fee, and nothing else. No stacked service charge, no percentage skimmed off both ends.
The result: the price is the price, and what you pay goes to the people who cooked your food.
Figures above are the rates commonly reported across the third-party delivery industry. Commission tiers, processing rates, and customer-side fees vary by marketplace, by plan, and over time — check any given marketplace’s current terms for its own numbers.
Keeping it in Kent
A Lunch Order That Stays in Town
Kent is where this food gets cooked, and Kent is where the money should land. A commission routed to a marketplace does neither.
Ordering direct is a small change on your end and a meaningful one on ours. The torta is identical. The share that stays local is not.
Three ways, all direct
