Gran sitio en Madrid, de llena rápido por lo que conviene ir en cuanto abre o esperar sino un poco. La comida estaba buenísima (la tortilla de patatas me encantó) y el servicio también muy cuidado.

Great food - Edit
Love their “chicken” burger and the way it’s like a regular Spanish bar but vegan. Gets super crowded so be sure to be there a little before they open, because people queue.

Vegan junk food in Madrid - Edit
B13 is reliably good. Full of menu items that mimic animal products, but totally vegan. The tortilla is wonderful, as are the burgers. But the vegan calamari is truly exquisite!
Read moreIt is a small, informal restaurant with counter service, that gets very busy, so arrive early to get a seat.
Pros: Great junk food, Friendly atmosphere, Great selection
Cons: Small, so gets very busy, Not a place for health foods

Cosy and cheap! - Edit
B13 is one of my favourite places to eat with friends (or also on my own) as it's always quick service, has big portions (if needed for sharing) and at a great price. Their pincho de tortilla is huge too. There's a mix of traditional Spanish dishes and "junk" food amd it's always got a lot of customers.
Read morePros: Cheap, big portions, fast service

Very good place!! - Edit
Very nice place with good vibes. Nice ambient with many students and young people dining.
Read moreThe food is quite good, the plates are generous and the price is low.
I gave only 4 stars but maybe I should have given 5, because I prefer to see more diverse menu and not a menu based mostly on soya and saiten (for example, I think there are excellent burgers and main dishes made of lentils).
Pros: Tasty, Cheap, Good atmosphere
Cons: Diverse the menu please :)

Busy and tasty - Edit
We came here for lunch and there were very few tables left and it had only just opened for the day. I had a chocolate milkshake (very chocolatey!), fries and a burger. I really liked everything. You order st the bar and the person was nice. It was a bit noisy but I loved it.

Full To The Brim! - Edit
We visited B-13 a few times on our recent visit to Madrid and every time was excellent!
Read moreThis place is a no frills, fast food, dive bar kind of vibe. And I don't mean any of that in a negative way!
They offer awesome, filling food with great quality and low price.
They have a pretty big menu of typical junk food turned vegan but unlike your normal junk food places, these guys produce top quality food.
We experienced two different staff rotas on our visits and each time we were treated well and looked after, even though we don't speak much Spanish.
The chicken burgers are tasty, crunchy and so filling. A burger, fries and a beer set me up for hours and I'm a pretty big dude.
I was going to try a cake or a shake but after the burger, I was full to the brim lol.
My wife ordered the Seitan sandwich, which came up in a crusty baguette type bread with the "meat" covered in a thick savory sauce. I'm not a fan of Seitan but she said it was amazing and was more than she could actually eat.
There are a few things to be aware of here.
1) it get MEGA busy. If you don't like noisy, cramped and kinda gloomy places, you wont like B-13. They do takeaway though so go anyway and take it out. Tables are not easy to get but well worth it when you do.
2) When people say about the hookers on the street outside, they're not joking. This little section of the city is like the red light district, prostitutes up and down the street. Unlike other cities though, they do not harass you. I watched single guys walk along here and not get spoken to.
I was expecting a lot of invites, harassment and problems but I was pleasantly surprised.
The food and atmosphere, to me at least, is worth the walk down "hooker alley". The staff work their butts off in here and they all seem dedicated to promoting vegan food.
I don't think any meal we had came to more than 20 euro and was much higher quality and much better prepared than anything BK could offer.
Its an honest, no nonsense, good food hangout!
Pros: Awesome food and quality, Seriusly low price, Friendly, hardworking staff
Cons: Gets VERY busy

La utopía vegana madrileña - Edit
This is my new favourite in Madrid. I think it represents really well what the capital of bars is all about; Great, tasty and inexpensive food in good company.

Regresé tras siete años a Madrid en junio 2018 de visita y este bar restaurante era un nuevo conocimiento muy agradable que no existía cuando vivía en la capital.
Pedí una hamburguesa, patatas fritas y una copa de vino tinto. Por alguna razón la hamburguesa me recordó de una que me gustaba como niño, muy muy rico! El vino una crianza era super rico y sólo costó 2€. Los camareros eran muy amables en darme sugerencias del menú. De casualidad llegué 5 min antes de abrir y estabamos 6 personas esperando a que abriera y si fuera poco se llenó en 10 min.
El bar es situado en Malasaña y para mi representa la imagen de Madrid: comida barata, rica, de cantidad y calidad en buena compañía! Ojalá que las olas de comercialismo y gentrificación no arruine estos barrios. Apoye a los locales, no a multinacionales como airbnb, es todo conectado.

B13 LA TASCA MADRILEÑA - Edit
El restaurante ha sido renovado ampliando su espacio para más comensales. Un ejemplo de pequeña tasca madrileña con una carta variada, típica española y totalmente vegana. El precio es uno de sus puntos fuertes y la atención al cliente es otro punto a favor.

Good if you are looking for fast food - Edit
The bacon tasted scarily like how I remember real bacon although in my opinion, it has a better texture. I really enjoyed the calamari. I asked for a wedge of lemon and mayonnaise and it was great. Quite cheap fast food

Good, inexpensive and crowded - Edit
I went there during lunch hours and I've tried double chicken burger and durum kebab. The burger was delicious but seitan in the durum kebab was mushy and the taste wasn't the best. The food is rather cheap and the portions are big and the location is also very good. If you want to eat on a budget and don't mind the crowds (some people had to wait for an empty table) then I definitely recommend!

Pros: fully vegan, Good location , low prices

Barista refunfuñón - Edit
Mi esposo y yo llegamos como a las 2 de la tarde para almorzar. El lugar estaba lleno y no había mesa. Le preguntamos al barista y nos dijo (de muy mala manera) que no había mesa, que teníamos que poner nuestro nombre en la lista y despejáramos él área en donde estábamos. Una pareja que estaba sentada en una de las mesas nos dijo que no les importaba compartir su mesa, así es que fuí y le hice saber al barista que se molestó porque el hecho que íbamos a compartir la mesa. El ordenar la comida fue otra mala experiencia, el mismo barista no quería responder preguntas sobre la comida (mi esposo es alérgico a la soja) y de muy mala gana nos tomó la orden. Y creo que para molestar llenó el vaso de ice tea hasta que se rebalso en el counter. Los otros chicos que atendían fueron amables. La comida no muy rica, pero las porciones fueron enormes. Pedimos un pincho de tortilla de patata, patatas bravas y una hamburguesa de seitan. Lo más rico fué el ice tea. Si no te importa el sabor de la comida ni el ambiente del lugar y quieres comer mucho...este es lugar para tí. De otra manera, yo no iría o volvería.

Cons: Servicio malo, Ruidoso, La comida sin sabor

Inexpensive but uninspring - Edit
My wife and went here during the lunch hour. It was packed and there was no place to sit. The person who takes orders seemed stressed and was impatient and unfriendly. He admonished us for standing at the bar while asking some questions of him, saying that we needed to keep the area clear. When another couple offered to share the table with us, we informed him that we would be taking a seat there and he seemed irritated (since maybe we were jumping ahead of someone else who was waiting). My wife and I had patatas bravas, which were good, but no better than at most bars in Madrid. Her tortilla de patata didn't have much flavor and although I ordered a seitan burger, the "burger" had the consistency of mashed potatoes, not solid like one would expect from seitan. The noise level was unbearable, and every time someone from an adjacent table wanted to get out, they had to climb over their table or I had to get up and move (not easy while eating a mushy vegan burger that was leaking everywhere). There were some cool political things on the walls, and it's great to see a vegan place so popular, but overall we were happy to leave such a stressful environment. The prices were very inexpensive, and portions big, so that may be a positive for some.
Read morePros: Inexpensive, Easy to get to, Large portions
Cons: Unfriendly staff, Overcrowed, Food generally unispiring
