Luisiana
Tuxedoed waiters and all the trappings of high-end dining are available at this classic. The meat and seafood menu is a mix of old and new, Mexican and Continental, with choices like cabrito, beef stroganoff, Indian curried shrimp and pato al hono al'orange (duck a la orange).

Restaurant San Antonio
Saltillo has many contenders for loveliest restaurant, but we give the nod to this place, with dining in and around a bright-orange, sky-lit courtyard. Service could use a kick in the ass, but the kitchen, turning out a mix of Mexican and international flavors, meets expectations.

Mi Pueblito
The restaurant is topped by a soaring thatched roof and has colorful textile tablecloths. It offers a menu of Mexican favorites, but its best value is the filling set lunch (M$80, available noon to 4pm). Take your pick from a variety of cigars and 200 tequilas.

La Casa de Maíz
A bohemian place specializing in corn-based comfort food from southern Mexico, including memelas (thick tortillas with black beans topped with cheese and more), plus quesadillas and tostadas (sandwiches), all served on hand-painted tables.

Café Sánchez
This venerable place with black tie-wearing waiters serves huevos rancheros and enchiladas suizas, but it's really all about the meat: a two-person parrillada with cabrito and steak costs around $250.

El Rey del Cabrito
Huge landmark restaurant, complete with a revolving crown on top. Your goat arrives at the table still sizzling on a bed of onions, with a large salad and tortillas. Start things off with the principio de fritada (fried blood).

Las Monjitas
The waitresses are dressed as nuns and nearly every inch of space is covered in colorful tiles at this bizarre chain restaurant. The food is only so-so, but it’s a fun experience. And, yes; it serves beer.

Cafetería Tony’s
A mixture of good food (breakfasts, antojitos, tacos and sandwiches) and low prices keeps this simple place packed much of the day. And that’s the only downside; you might have to wait for a seat.

Restaurante Principal
For a crash course in norteño food try some cuts of cabrito at this well-known restaurant near the plaza; or play it safe and order the grilled chicken.

Dulcería Tres Rojas
A good place to try pan de pulque, a famous Saltillo food. It's kind of like a beer bread.
