Chef quote:
"Cajeta is a thick sauce/paste made from caramelized sugar and goat's milk. Cajeta is considered a specialty of and popularly associated with the city of Celaya in the state of Guanajuato. It is typically used to compliment fruits, ice cream or a simple slice of bread. Since our menu's focus is on regional Mexican cuisine, we wanted to make sure we incorporated this sweet staple from Celaya in our menu." -- Gus Castaneda
