Is this the best bodega food in New York? It's definitely the best bodega food that doesn't serve a "classic" Mexican menu alongside bottles of seltzer and Tylenol.
Mexican and deli food is the jumping off point here, and make no mistake, you can get sliced meat sandwiches and tacos here. But the operators of this place have taken the basic ingredients into some unexpectedly, global inflected places. There's The Austrian, which is a chicken cutlet, pickles, mayo and ketchup and a chipotle chicken sandwich with tzatziki, cabbage, cucumbers, tomato and red onion.
Frequent specials are even stranger, making liberal use of the fryer and bringing in Asian, African and Latin American flavors to wraps and sandwiches. It's still a deli so there's just a counter to eat, but it's very satisfying to eat something at a bodega that's made there and actually tastes good.
Frankly, I didn't even know this was possible.
I've been coming here for a few years now, mainly for breakfast but sometimes lunch.
Even though the owners keep changing, the cook has remained the same, which is why I continue to come back.
Nothing beats their fresh Colombian coffee. I also love to order a slightly toasted roll with a hint of butter, red onions, melted mozzarella cheese, topped with avocado slices. Yum!
I gave them a four star because there has been several occasions where something as simple as a toasted cream cheese and jelly bagel has been messed up, or has taken twenty minutes to make. Otherwise, I have no complaints.
Did I mention they have really decent Colombian coffee?
Welp…there goes our easy breakfast spot. A recent addition to Cachaco has made them lose a few customers!
My husband went to pick up the usual Propeller (egg, hash brown, pepper jack cheese in a wrap) and decided in the daily special of home fries!
He left with the most impossibly overlooked eggs, no avocado, two different wrap types (unasked for), and a grease SOAKED hash brown thrown in and kind of sort of folded.
The home fries (once home) weren't even that, we were given French fries!
This was the worst restaurant/food experience I've ever had and is unfortunate because just a few weeks ago this was our go-to quick breakfast! Will definitely not be returning.
Possibly the best bodega in the world. Any deli that has Tates cookies is an automatic winner in my book. Such an unassuming little place too.
But that sandwich. The chipotle chicken, red cabbage, onions, tomato, cucumber, and tzatziki sauce on pita bread. My bf and I could eat that thing all day long, and he wanted another one. Ughhh craving it even now.
I can definitely see this as a place I'd go to every week during the late summer afternoons to get my fix and then wander over to the Wburg bridge afterwards.
GREAT DELI!!!
Love the bagel and jam that i had here!!! My friend lives very close by so she put me onto this place and I'm glad.
The bagels are fresh not like most places in GP.
When I saw Cachaco had five stars, I knew that I had to check it out. I have very high expectations for a place with five stars, and I walked in expecting to have a five star experience. We stopped in a Monday evening, and there was one person waiting and another ordering before us. They seem to be inundated with phone orders, which prevents them from serving walking in customers in a timely fashion.
I decided on the chipotle chicken in a pita, and he got the buffalo chicken on a hero. His sandwich was huge and looked really tasty. My pita was a mushy mess. It was good, but did not meet my very high expectations. I also don't like tzatziki sauce that much, and it was doused in it. We ended up waiting almost half an hour for our two sandwiches, which I thought was way too long for a corner deli.
I may be back because they do seem to have a following, so it must be good, but my experience just didn't live up to the expectations.
My friend and I stopped in here for a late lunch before heading to go record shopping and oh man the sandwich I got was so good that I'm adding this place to my regular rotation even though I don't usually end up on this end of Greenpoint. I was pretty starving so I ordered a large Cuban sandwich while my friend got a small Tzat Chipotle Chicken. A guy entered right after I ordered and asked for a Stuffed Knish, which had me nearly regretting my decision but I'm so glad I stuck with the Cuban.
The carnitas are amazing!! They are definitely made fresh with some care and love. They were so tender, juicy, and deliciously pork-y. My sandwich came with Swiss cheese so perfectly melted that long strings appeared when I pulled apart the two halves. Truthfully, I'm not even a big fan of pickles or mustard, but the flavors melded perfectly with the Swiss and carnitas, with just the perfect amount of acidity to cut through the hearty meat. The sandwiches do take some time to make so be prepared for a little wait, but boy is it worth it! I was pretty stuffed after eating a little over half so I saved the leftovers for later. Even two days after, the sandwich was every bit as good as I remembered and enough to fill me up for a second lunch. I tried a bite of my friend's Tzat Chipotle Chicken and I remember it being pretty good, but more on the "fresh/light" side than my hearty one (which was definitely perfect for my craving since I had been starving).
Even fresh sandwiches, etc aside, the chips/drinks/condiments here are clearly well-curated to fit a hip, young Brooklyn crowd. (As is the cute chalkboard menu). My only wish is that there would be a bodega as good as this near Columbia.
I left Greenpoint 6 weeks ago and this was one of the places that made the place home for me. The food is always fresh tasting and filling. All of the workers are very friendly and would feel bad when they were out of a certain ingredient. We mainly ate the stuff pita sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches. I only had the bolonga sandwich once but I was in love at first bite. If i am ever in Greenpoint again I would love to go back!
