Bonnes croquetas

Nous y sommes allés pour juste prendre un verre de vin avec des croquetas. Nous n'avons pas été déçu. Le vin était bon et les croquetas délicieuses

Tasty vegan Spanish omelette

Fairly basic cafe but the food was lovely. We had the delicious Spanish omelette, gyozos and patatas bravas. Very helpful and friendly waiter.

Traditional vegan eatery that serves great local staple dishes

Went there several times during my visit to Madrid. They serves dishes that traditionally contain eggs, so it is nice to be able to experience the vegan versions of those staple Spanish dishes 🙏
I also noticed that many locals dropped by for their brekkie, which is a nice testament for the authenticity of the local dishes 😍

"Good food, but service felt inconsistent"

The food is good and the place is nice, especially the terrace in summer. I wasn’t treated badly, but there have been a few unpleasant details that left a bad impression.

Last time, for example, we asked to bring out an extra chair and were told no — then the next person who asked got one without a problem.

It’s not a huge deal, but those little things add up. For now, I won’t be going back.

Pros: Terrace, Tapas, Location

Cons: Waiters attitude

Ok- but nothing special

I had arrepas and it was not bad, but very average. I think it was overpriced for what i got.

Great tapas spot

We were looking for a vegan-friendly tasca and found this one. Shared some boletus croquettes, which were amazing, and a tortilla pincho. Then the Beyond arepa and Nueva Natacha chapata were both great and filling. Finally, we tasted homemade tiramisu, which was perfect coffee flavor and super fluffy. Only thing that didn't hit the spot was the michelada: no spice, too lemony and watery, wouldn't recommend. But overall, great food and plenty to eat.

Pros: Croquettes, Craft beers

Cons: Michelada

Las raciones son abundantes y el personal amable. Buen sitio para un tapeo.

Espectacular

Platos caseros y muy logrados.
Pedimos los No Calamares y nos sorprendieron por su sabor y textura. No parecían veganos.
La txapata de bacon muy rica también.
Los postres (tarta de queso y tiramisú) espectaculares.

Unassuming

We almost missed this one! I love they offer a menu of the day. On the day we were there I had Salmorejo soup(seemed like gazpacho to me), Paella and Oreo cake (which I couldn’t finish 😞).
My husband had the soup of the day, plate of the day and tiramisu.

All the portions were full size. As we ended our month long stay, this was the perfect way to end. Great flavors and a meal I will remember. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. They have ceiling fans indoors!

Unassuming pub, great for savory brunch, affordable

If you like your breakfast/brunch on the savory side more than the sweet, you'll have plenty of choice. Portion sizes are somewhere in between tapas and a meal. Tostadas are half a crunchy ciabatta, fresh vegetables, coarse salt, lots of texture. Torta de patatas tastes similar to the traditional one, a bit on the sweeter side. Sauce it's served with is aromatic (cumin-forward). We had a coffee, a beer, and 4 dishes, and the bill was 19€ total.

Mala calidad-precio

Las croquetas estaban saladas y el arroz al curry seco, con muy poco sabor. El personal muy apático y los precios muy caros por la cantidad y calidad de los productos. No lo recomiendo.

Cons: Mala calidad de la comida, Precios caros, Personal apatico

Ya ha puesto usted otra reseña en Google. Las croquetas no están saladas pues yo mismo
Las probé cuando se fue del local. Y lo de la apatía le vuelvo a contestar que es un insulto para con nosotra pues se le atendió más que correctamente. Salud y amor

Not bad

We came to try the arepas but were a bit underwhelmed, both with the Beyond arepa and the patatas bravas. The menu had many different appealing things but I doubt we’d come back to try more.

The decision to include a massive spider as part of the decor is interesting! 😂
