El Caldero

Loved the soups here, especially for chilly days. I came twice and I liked the Arroz de Ollita more than the Chilango. They were both tasty though. Service was great and decor is cute. One of my favorite restaurants in San Cris.

Nice local restaurant where you can enjoy several types of soups. There are different options, also for vegetarians. You can also order additions like noodles, rice etc to add in the soup. The portions are quite large and the soups we tried were really tasty (even if a bit heavy)

Highly recommended for a nice bowl of warm soup with lots of things added to them. Great atmosphere, service and most importantly the flavour of their food.

El Caldero gave me an opportunity to taste and appreciate the Mexican cuisine. We had the Caldo de Mariscos and the El Caldero. Both are incredibly flavorful and served with rich amount of ingredients. Their prices were reasonable with friendly and accommodating staffs. Overall, our experience in this restaurant was great and we left with a big smile on our faces and too full tummy. I would really love to eat in this restaurant again when we return to San Cristobal.

A San Cristóbal de Las Casas institution, El Caldero does not disappoint. Come here for the caldos at reasonable prices. The aguas frescas are fresh made and there's a good assortment. Personally I don't the starters are necessary because you might not finish your caldo. Remember the reason you came in the first place. Staff is helpful and friendly. They try to be quick but with so many caldo choices so tables take time to make choices. FYI, caldo is soup.

We tried 3 different soups in two consecutive nights. All of them were absolutely great. Full of great flavour, full of vegetables and great meats, and with very nice toppings. We would have tried more if we had more time in St Cristobal. So: highly recommended.
