Recent Menu

Friends: This is how we have been rolling recently. We are happy to do take out (831-659-5100), but please make sure we acknowlege your order. If you order in the middle of the day on the weekend, we are liable not to see it. As with many other of your favorite restaurants and caterers, we are now a seriously family enterprise. It is just Amanda, Brendan and I....with some able pinch hitting from Alex. It is good news/bad news: we are intimately involved with every dish and every ingredient...but it is just us to do all the jobs. Please forgive us if our bedside manner is lacking.

That Day Again

Hey, folks. Thanks for your patronage with our wild, dysfunctional world these last 18 months. Thank you for your understanding and support. I am increasingly not in love with Facebook, and the Cachagua Store blog has been traditionally an actual blog. If you want to read fun (if dated) rants about food, etc.....search back before 2020. We are returning to blog/opinion/rant mode on this page. www.cachaguastore.blogspot.com For food/menu information please come to this spot. We are not getting younger, and like every restaurant everywhere in the world, have no staff to help. Please don't be mad if we can't transform ourselves into those insane guys we used to be. Right now we are me, Amanda, Brendan (thank you, Jesus) and Alex (thank you, Buddha). That's it. We are open on Saturday and Sunday from 10:30-4 in the garden. Reservations are important, if you can be that guy. If you just see the flag out, and have a wild brunch hair....please pull in and check us out. All things are possible, even at the drop of a hat with weird demands. That is why we are still here. For the fun, and y'all are the fun. Still, we are also happy (we are caterers!) to open during the week by arrangement for a dinner in the garden of any size (one diner is our minimum...but even that is open to discussion). Peace, Michael

Hey, folks: This is our Saturday garden catering menu, and essentially our to go menu. We are open Saturdays from 11am to 5pm or so, and Sundays for brunch from 10:30 am to 5pm. This is essentially our to-go menu as well. We are also happy to open on any given day for private dinners of any number. Last night we did an impromptu menu for two folks who happened by and stuck their heads in the door. Impromptu and spontaneous is our favorite thing, but a day or two's notice is better.
