Welcome to El Estanquillo, a delightful cafe nestled in the heart of Saltillo, specifically located at C. Ramos Arizpe 871 in Zona Centro. This charming spot brims with character, making it an ideal sanctuary for coffee lovers, food enthusiasts, and those simply seeking a cozy atmosphere to unwind.

The moment you step inside, you are enveloped by a warm ambiance that invites both relaxation and conversation. The cafe's inviting decor and clean, comfortable settings make it a wonderful place to gather with friends or enjoy a quiet moment alone, perhaps while indulging in one of their many delectable offerings.

El Estanquillo stands out for its exceptional variety of food and beverages. Customers rave about the mouthwatering chilaquiles, a beloved traditional dish prepared to perfection, and the deliciously rich pasteles, which are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Pair your meal with their well-crafted coffee; particularly commendable is the café con amaretto, which has become a favorite among regulars for its unique flavor. As noted by a delighted customer, Mary Rdz Arauza, the paninis here are equally appealing, featuring soft, flavorful bread that complements a variety of rich fillings perfectly.

But it's not just the food that draws visitors. The ambiance at El Estanquillo is enhanced by its stunning views of Plaza Alameda, which you can enjoy while sipping on a frappe or the excellent Americano that has won the hearts of many. As Haydee Cantu wisely pointed out, combining your visit with a trip to the nearby bookstore makes for a perfect afternoon. Visitors can easily immerse themselves in a good book or simply soak in the vibrant energy of the plaza.

While everyone loves the offerings, nearly all reviews mention a friendly and attentive staff that really enhances the customer experience. However, there is room for improvement when it comes to seating arrangements, as some customers have noted that the chairs might need an update for better comfort during their enjoyable visits.

Whether you come for the irresistible food, the serene atmosphere, or the welcoming service, El Estanquillo is a must-visit destination in Saltillo. Make your way to this lovely cafe and relish the delightful culinary experiences that await you!

Me encantan los chilaquiles de ese lugar, los pasteles también super delis, tienen mucha variedad de bebidas, el café con amareto mi favorito de los pocos lugares que lo tienen, la atención super bien, las instalaciones limpias y por cierto en temporada de frío tienen mantitas.

El café americano regular está bueno y el Pastel de Zanahoria está muy rico. Lo mejor es la vista (Plaza Alameda en Saltillo). Puedes aprovechar y entrar a la Librería y comprar un buen libro.

Nice place, I enjoyed the gansiro frape, they have to chance the chairs, they are like loose and broken

Hace falta que las mesas tengan buen soporte en las patas, se mueven y se corre el riesgo de quemarse con café caliente al caer por tanto movimiento de la mesa. Servicio excepcional, buen sabor de su café, hace falta explotar otros granos de café.
