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.

The tuna melt here is bangin. Oddly, sometimes they charge me $ 4.00 for my melt and sometimes they charge me $ 5.00. Either way, it’s a great price and I happily pay whatever the cashier asks me to. She’s very friendly, and I’m their slave.

The people are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. I have never had a dispute that was not handled appropriately and I greatly appreciate that. The food is something I have come to dreaming about. I may be biased because I live close but I will eat here all the time! The chicken tacos are fantastic and flavorful a and cheap. They have small treats like grape leaves that are health conscience decisions. My all time favorite food here is the Huron hero. I have never had such a flavorful sandwich. Give these kind people all your money.

They are not speed demons by any means, and tend to get a little stacked up at lunch time(calling your order in can help with this), but, they are easily the best deli sandwich joint in the neighborhood. Each and every sandwich on the menu is really, really good, with great/fresh ingredients, unique composition and generous portions. I hope they never change a thing.

How many places will make you Tacos de Carnitas for breakfast at 9am? Based on how few ppl will actually eat them for breakfast, you can bet it’s not many! But, I’m that guy who goes above and beyond for my first meal of the day in order to make a celebration of my having woken up once again! Because it wasn’t that busy at that moment, they made me carnitas, 3 tacos, and they were completely authentic, y que ricos. Yumi! It’s a small place designed for take-out, with only 3 seats at a small counter by the window, and those seats are right next to the door(which kind of sucks when it’s cold out, but is better than no seats at all). Just beware that you’re not really heading to a «restaurant» when you visit Cachaco. Good stuff, though. I would return.

Right down the block, so for me convenience is a factor. That said, if it wasn’t good I wouldn’t keep going, regardless of how close it is. The sub sandwiches I’ve had have all been really good and won’t break the bank. They aren’t true foot-long subs, probably closer to 10″ or so, but still plenty to fill you up. The Italian sub I had was loaded with cold cuts. The Tzatziki Chipotle Chicken is awesome. The Double Agent(warm roast beef, melted cheese, Russian dressing, pickled jalapenos) has probably been the most flavorful – a nice twist on a steak and cheese sorta thing. Would recommend to anyone who doesn’t feel like cooking, but doesn’t want to go out and pay the ridiculous prices at a lot of Brooklyn eateries.

I’ve lived in nyc for 4 years and this is my favorite local bodega/deli. Excellent service, always fresh, and delivery is quick. An absolute gem!

Cachaco has become my go-to deli. The food, people, and prices are incredible. I highly suggest the stuffed Knish and the Cuban sandwich. Give it a try; you won’t regret it!

I’ve been here couple times and have only gotten the chipotle chicken with tzatziki. It’s really good and coming here has been a staple when I’m running late for work and haven’t brought anything from home for lunch. The service here is also pleasant, not wow but very cordial. There’s a little counter seating area facing the windows that are great for people watching while waiting or eating. The seats are lower than the table though. Ask for a menu as there are more items than just what’s on the big billboard menu in the cook’s area.

Nice place. Really good sandwiches(try the Huron Hero). Cooks and owner are super friendly. Only down side is they don’t have too many tables/seats, so more of a pick up n go place.

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.

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?

Dam good! Finally found a neighborhood deli worth rating. We had the Philly Cheese Steak and a Roast Beef sandwich and they nailed. I will be back, like a lot.

Cachaco looks like any other sandwichy bodega, but these sandwiches would easily hold their own in a Best Sandwiches of Greenpoint competition(or even North Brooklyn). The Huron Hero is a titan. Even the standard philly rivals Delilah’s. And if you’re not feeling sandwichy, their tacos are excellent. Great staff, fair prices and wonderful food. This is my spot 4 eva.

This place is so fire. The chipotle chicken with tzatziki is life changing. For sure my favorite sandwich on this planet.

This is the best little corner deli around! They are the nicest people ever and their food is always fresh and delicious. Their Propeller breakfast sandwich is the best hangover cure, and Navid who works there always makes me laugh. They also have a great little beer selection of six packs, and they are nice enough to let you mix and match or buy individual bottles. The woman who owns it is so dang sweet, and she always has a smile on her face. Great prices for the food portions, fast, delicious and clean. A definite must for anyone in the mood for a quick breakfast sandwich or lunch.

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!
