Great hidden spot

It took us a while to find it inside the market but it was so worth it. I found it so amazing that they had this vegan option in there among so many meat eating places. We had the empanada that was filled with lentils, I forgot to take a picture of that because it was so flavorful that we devoured in seconds lol we also had the cheddar fries. Such a delicious “cheese”. Amazing job. Loved all the stickers too. My kind of people. 💙

Great food inside the market

Loved this small place. All we tried was super yummy and they also serve great Vermouth. Extra plus for friendly service and queer vibe

UN MUST DE TAPEO EN PLENO LAVAPIÉS

La Alpargata es una pequeña taberna vegana situada en el Mercado de san Fernando.
Puedes pedir comida para tomar y para llevar.
Dentro del menú hay muchas opciones de pinchos y tapas, además de bocadillos y comida para compartir.

Recomiendo mucho las patatas robadas, con cualquiera de sus salsas, y el choripan.

El ambiente es increíble y la comida está brutal.

Actualizado a 1 de julio de 2024:

Hemos probado dos platos principales, pastel de choclo y timbal de ensaladilla.

Como siempre, la atención es maravillosa y el ambiente "sudaka kuir" mola un montón.

Si quieres probar algo distinto y riquísimo, opta por el timbal

Best spot in the foodcourt

Honestly I didn't understand anything on the menu, so I asked the staff for the most popular item. I got a Churipan, which tasted super good! Very friendly women behind the bar. It was quiet when I was there (weird timing), but I can imagine it being very busy at more regular eating times!

Pros: Decoration (plants, pamflets etc), Friendly staff, Tasty food

Cons: Difficult to find in the foodcourt

Bueno y barato

La comida es no solamente buenísima sino que también BARATÍSIMA! Pagué 14€ para 2 tintos de verano, 1 choripan y una porción enorme de patatas con una salsa riquísima. Todo 100% casero. De verdad lo recomiendo muchísimo

Vegan option in San Fernando Market

I always find it hard to come along with vegan options inside markets so this place is great. Their portions are very big and the price is good. They have dishes from latin America. Staff is very friendly although it's usually crowded. Definitely will come back.

Pros: Choripán , Friendly staff, Good vibes

Filling but Salty

Came here before our 12 course meal at El Invernadero (has a vegan option). That was a mistake as their portions are very large.

Ordered the bocadillo de setas, choripan, and papas con mojo. Largest plate of potatoes ever. With both red and green mojo. We may have seen them microwaving the potatoes which made us a bit sad. The seats sandwich was good. Cheese was an interesting jello like texture. He liked the choripan but I found it underwhelming.

Nice experience

Really great to find vegan options in mercado San Fernando, as i was spending the weekend with a friend in Madrid. I had burrito and croquetas, it was fresh, appreciated it. Appreciate also that they allowed my friend to come with food from another stand (as it can be allowed in mercados) , really a nice time, thank you!

Pros: Atmosphere, Fresh food

So rude

I arrived at 13:00 on a Sunday to get lunch. There was indeed someone in the kitchen so it was about to open. I took a sit in front of the counter so that I am visible as a customer, a second staff came but ignored me. Both staff, from the kitchen, and the one that just arrived saw me but also ignored me. I waited until 13:16 so they greet me and give me the menu but nothing. I decided to just go because I don't like being ignored as a customer nor waiting for a long time. Don't support vegan places with such rude attitudes.

Okay food - Not worth the hype

We saw great reviews on Happy Cow and were so excited to try the food! We arrived in the afternoon and saw that there were plenty of seating available. The staff was not friendly and did not acknowledge us when we greeted him. We found a seat and went to the counter to place our order. We ordered the potato’s with some white cheese on it, the tortilla, 2 chorizo sandwiches, and IPA’s. The highlight of the show is the tortilla. Every bite was amazing. The potatoes were over powered with the sauce and the chorizo sandwiches weren’t that great. It was a little sour and the sauce didn’t taste good. We didn’t finish our sandwiches at all and were left with a bad taste in our mouths. Would only come back for the tortilla. Not worth the hype.

Super nice!

When we arrived there was a table of 2 waiting for us.
The market was crowded and the place too.
Even though, the bartender was super nice and smiley all the time which makes you feel comfortable :)
Food was pretty good. Maybe the choripan was a little bit oily for my taste and the tortilla of the falafel needed to be toasted, it was a little raw. However, everything was beautiful, especially the croquetas, both flavours.
We did not have space for dessert but did not look good. I suggest to improve that, but maybe it is not on their plans. Thank God we are in Madrid and can find desserts easily.
Of course, I will get back to try more dishes.

Pros: Tasty food, Nice staff

Amazing food, lovely staff

The perfect example of simple but great food. We had the choripán and the mushroom sandwiches. Both were freshly made, hot and tasted amazing. They also helped to choose from their beer selection

Pros: all vegan, nice staff and they speak English:)

Great lunch spot near El Rastro flea market

After exploring the madness that is the El Rastro flea market for a few hours, we were ready for a spot of lunch. This place, located nearby in the totally buzzing Mercado de San Fernando, hit the spot perfectly! It's quite hard to find but is definitely worth seeking out - you'll find it in unit ten right towards the back of the market. The menu is 100% vegan and there are plenty of tasty options to choose from. In fact, deciding what to order is the hardest part!

We shared the croquetas and the chorizo & bean burrito (listed as a choriburrito on the menu). It was great to find some vegan croquetas & they didn't disappoint. Both the mushroom and pumpkin & leek varieties were delicious. The burrito was also very good, particularly the vegan chorizo. What's more, service was friendly & kind. Not bad value either. All in all, a great little place!

Pros: 100% vegan, Delicious food, Lively location in Mercado de San Fernando

Cons: Service was a little slow but worth the wait

Hamburguesas veganas deliciosas

Es un buen sitio para comer, cenar o solamente picar algo. Lo más rico de la taberna son la burguer vegana y la lasaña boloseña. La comida tiene buena calidad y los precios están bien.

A Must Stop for Vegan Tortilla

All the food was good, but the Tortilla was phenomenal. A crisp outside with a melt-in-your-mouth center. It's the best vegan TortillaI've ever had.

I was not a fan of the location. It was a little cold in the hallways of the market.

Pros: Tortilla, Price

Cons: Location
