Disappointing food but good atmosphere

I think there's a bit of confusion as to whether this place offers vegan paella - it seems like someone probably had it here once (possibly with a menú del día which are constantly changing) and now everyone thinks they can get vegan paella here and are frustrated when they can't. I did not see vegan paella on the menu when we went, so I would guess that it is only available as part of a menú del día (lunch special) occasionally.

Also, I did not experience unfriendly staff as others are complaining about. Everyone was actually really nice and one of the better parts of the place, for me (though I do speak Spanish).

Sadly, the food isn't something I'd come back for. My partner and I tried the papas en mojo and the moussaka and both were very blah. We love papas en mojo so try them frequently at different places and these were some of the worst. Pretty tasteless. Also both were microwaved and so unevenly heated. The moussaka seemed a little overpriced at 6+ euros for a normal sized square.

It's really too bad as the atmosphere is really cool, divey and a bit punky, but I'm not sure I would go back for the food. Maybe just a drink.

Pros: Atmosphere, Friendly staff, Location

Cons: Not great food, Cash only

Excellent food

As a vegan sometimes we get 'left out' of trying traditional or typical dishes of a country but not here. Here you can try a wide variety of tapas with generous portions. If you go for the paella you have to go on a Sunday lunchtime as this is when Valencians eat it (I live here). The menu is in Spanish and Valencian so maybe use wordreference to translate it. The patatas al mojo picón are SUBLIME! The beer is also great.

Pros: cheap, generous portions, relaxed atmosphere

If I could give 0 stars, I would

Arrived after a long day of travel and was looking forward to vegan paella, as I'd read they serve. The man working was incredibly rude and made no attempt to help as he spoke no english and showed no menu. Shrugged and looked at me and just said "no" with the most i different look I've ever seen when I asked "paella vegano?" and said (in Spanish) that I spoke no Spanish. I left and am still hungry.

Came for Paella. Ate anything else. top!

It's a nice little bar in the central area. Except of some drinks - which are marked on the menue - everything is vegan!

The "Burritos" are awesome and the Quiche was great as well. Everything a little bit greasy, but very tasteful. You shouldn't mind a loud atmosphere and probably bring someone that speaks spanish.

Pros: great amtmosphere, nice stuff , great options

Cons: staff speaks no english, but greasy

good food, Spanish required

Very friendly, authentic atmosphere. The staff does not speak English and there is no English menu, but a few words of Spanish are enough to guess the dishes and to order. Recommending the pita with seitan!

Pros: visited by locals

Cons: some Spanish required

La mejor paella vegana del mundo

Y a un muy buen precio. Es una taberna, por lo que se come en mesas pequeñas y taburetes, que también tiene su encanto.

Pros: barato, postres veganos

Cons: pequeño
