Quincy, Washington

Welcome to Our Kitchen

Authentic Mexican and classic American comfort food, made from scratch by Chef Hermilda Gaytan. Breakfast served all day, lunch and dinner, and a self-serve case of fresh-baked goods.

Why Gaytan Kitchen

What makes this kitchen different

Everything here is made the way Chef Hermilda has always made it — by hand, from scratch, for people she knows by name.

Everything From Scratch

Salsas, salads, sauces, and baked goods are all made in-house — nothing off a truck. Reviewers call it "a refreshing change from commercial Tex-Mex."

Mexican & American, Together

Pupusas, quesabirria, and tamales sit on the same menu as biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak — a genuine blend, not a gimmick.

A Family Kitchen

Chef Hermilda is usually the one greeting you at the door — 30 years of cooking, and a small, family-run kitchen since 2024.
