WEBSITE + GROWTH PROPOSALSAN CARLOS, CALIFORNIA

Fresh off the comal. Three taps from the plate.

iGuey already has what matters: a real kitchen, a printed catering menu, and a Baja fish taco with its own line on the menu. This is the website that finally behaves like the food.

01 / SITE AUDIT IGUEYTAQUERIA.COM REVIEWED 10.31.26

The food is the draw.
The site is a detour.

We reviewed igueytaqueria.com the way a hungry first-timer would — on a phone, at 7 PM, deciding where to eat. Six things quietly send them to the next taqueria.

No food in the fold. A fire photo, one button and a phone number.
  1. 01

    The first screen is a button.

    CRITICAL

    The homepage opens on “ORDER ONLINE” — twice, as the page's only H1 — over a kitchen fire. No dish, no menu, no price.

    SOURCE · <H1> ×2
  2. 02

    Every price wears a $0.00 tag.

    HIGH

    Each ordering card reads “From $0.00 USD” in strikethrough ahead of the real price. A placeholder “was” price is the first number on every dish.

    The menu is 8,226 pixels of text.

    HIGH

    Real prices and eight proteins, but not one photograph of the food. The only images on the page are the logo.

    Catering is a photo of paper.

    Trays from $40, a $300 delivery minimum and 48 hours' notice sit inside a bitmap. No selectable text, no tappable number, no enquiry path.

    “DELIVERYs,” “DESSSERTS” and “mexican restaurant / mexican food.” all remain in visible customer copy.

    Search shows a keyword list.

    MEDIUM

    The title is “Iguey taqueria - Mexican Restaurant Nearby - San Carlos, California.” The description ends “taste.Try our delicious food today! mexican restaurant nearby.”

02 / THE GAP THE 7:08 PM DECISION · ILLUSTRATIVE

At 7:08 on a Friday,
a family is deciding.

They are on a phone, on El Camino, with two kids in the back. They will choose the place whose food they can see in the next thirty seconds — not the one with the loudest button.

TODAY · SIX STEPS TO A DEAD END
01
Search “fish tacos San Carlos.”A keyword-list title and a description ending in “mexican restaurant nearby.”
02
Land on the homepage.A fire photo and “ORDER ONLINE.” No dish, no menu, no price.
03
Tap ORDER NOW.A product grid where each real price follows a struck-through “$0.00 USD.”
04
Hunt for the menu.A separate page: 8,226 pixels of text, no food photographs.
05
Ask about catering.A scanned paper sheet. No enquiry button, no tappable contact.
06
Go back to the search results.The next taqueria is one thumb away.

04 / THE SYSTEM BRANDCORE.IO ONE PARTNER

Flagship Website

A fast, photo-first site built around your menu — not a builder template with your logo dropped in.

Menu Architecture

Every taco, burrito, plate and catering tray in its own findable place, with prices your team owns.

FEWER “WHAT'S ON IT?” CALLS
03

Photo & Content Library

A simple shot list for the dishes you already make, plus hours, specials and catering updates you can publish in minutes.

FRESH WITHOUT A PHOTOGRAPHER WEEKLY

Reviews & Proof

A simple request after pickup, and real guest words on the pages that matter — never invented ones.

Your menu, your photos and your phone number, saying the same thing everywhere a customer looks.

05 / THE PROOF CASE STUDY UFGWORKS.COM

We've done this before.
Here's the proof.

United Facilities Group came to Brandcore with a desktop-era page: stock shapes, a block of body copy and a generic “Contact Us” as the one action. We rebuilt the front door around clarity, hierarchy and one visible next step. Drag the handle.

UNITED FACILITIES GROUP
  1. 01
    Hierarchy

    The old page stacked a logo, generic shapes and a block of body copy. The rebuild leads with one sentence.

  2. 02
    Action

    “Request a quote” now appears in the header and again beside the phone number.

  3. 03
    Contrast

    A white template with stock shapes became a dark, branded stage built around UFG's own mark.

Same standard, different kitchen: your food, your prices, your address. Nothing invented.
