Saltillo's local cuisine leans on northern Mexican staples — grilled meats, machaca (dried shredded beef), and cabrito (roast kid goat). The city is surrounded by Coahuila's cattle and goat country, and the restaurants around the Plaza de Armas and the adjacent streets reflect this. Look for places serving machacado con huevo (dried beef scrambled with eggs) for breakfast, and cabrito for a proper dinner splurge.
