Tasty vegan Mexican food - Edit
Only went here once a while ago and wanting to back. The food was very tasty, flavorful, nice vegan cheese on the wraps and tacos. And a beautiful dessert. On the expensive side (but that’s no surprise in Amsterdam).

BIRRIA TACOS - Edit
My first all vegan Mexican restaurant! Every dish was really flavorful and the margaritas were strong. My favorite was the Birria tacos. The only con is that it is very pricey.

Comida deliciosa, mas o atendimento não é bom - Edit
A comida é muito muito boa, mas o atendimento foi bem precário. O pior de tudo foi a atendente esperar a cozinha fechar p vir nos atender e falar que não dava p pedir mais nada. 🫠

Pricey and spicy - Edit

Great, but loses a star to cost. - Edit
Madre is a really attractive space, very comfortable and stylish. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive and the food is very tasty. The table made guacamole is as good as I’ve ever tasted. It loses a star because while great, it’s just too expensive. 14.50 for guacamole is a touch too far, regardless of how tasty it is.

One of my favorite vegan places in Europe - Edit
Considering the quality of the dishes I consider it very fairly priced. The tacos were filled with 3d printed fake meat (soy Seitan combo) or mushrooms and the taste and texture were so good, it reminded me of real meat well done. This is one of my top 3 vegan restaurants now!

What a gem - Edit
Really amazing food, especially with the hot sauce they serve extra if you ask for it. Staff is very friendly. The restaurant looks small on the outside but it's really spacious on the inside. Ambiance is energetic and "gezellig".

Good - Edit
Considering the price, I want amazed be the food, but I still enjoyed it. The presentation was beautiful and the service was good. They had an English menu.
Read moreI liked the cauliflower and the (vegan) pork tacos better than the aguacate and mushroom tacos, the latter were more boring. I liked the desert (vegan) brioche in tres leches, though the guava salsa flavor was too strong, it overwhelmed the brioche. The food felt legit Mexican, like Mexico rather than texmex.
After that three course meal I was still hungry. If you don't consider the prices, then it's worth visiting. And as for prices, well, Amsterdam is an expensive city. You can get a chef's choice three course meal for like €35, though we paid €45 apiece for our choices.
Pros: Presentation, Food , Authenticity
Cons: Price, Quantity

Heerlijk eten, fijne bediening - Edit
Heerlijk vegan Mexicaans eten. Leuke locatie en hele aardige bediening. Fijne gerechten, niet de standaard Mexicaanse gerechten. Wel vond ik de prijs voor de hoofdgerechten voor wat je krijgt echt uit verhouding. Geen groente of salade ernaast en vrij kleine porties.
Read moreAl met al is het wel waard, maar hoofdgerechten kunnen beter aangekleed worden.
Desserts zijn ♥️♥️
Pros: All vegan , Fijne smaken , Bediening
Cons: Hoofdgerechten in verhouding te duur

Duur, maar wel heerlijk gegeten. - Edit
Ik had samen met mijn partner twee porties Beech mushroom tostados besteld die erg lekker waren, maar we hadden verwacht dat de porties wat groter zouden zijn. Later hebben we met z'n tweeën een portie Nacho mama besteld wat gelukkig qua portie wel genoeg was voor ons allebei. Als dessert hadden we allebei de Mole Rosa besteld die tevens erg lekker was. Helaas heb ik geen foto's gemaakt 🥲

Amazing food and great vibes! - Edit
Madre was really the best surprise of our stay in Amsterdam. The food is really excellent and of an impressive quality. Everything is very well done and tasty. The place is very lively and often crowded. I didn't find the noise disturbing, but it's clear that you won't have the quiet of a tête-à-tête. Everything is quite expensive but it's definitely worth the cost! The staff is very nice and attentive despite the number of tables. I will gladly go back.

The best Mexican food - Edit
My wife and I have been vegan for 10 years and this was by far the best Mexican food we have ever eaten. Madre is warm and welcoming and offers a fine dinning experience with normal size portions.
Read moreWe had the nachos, mushroom tostada’s, chicken tacos and chocolate cake. The latter been one of the best we have ever had. The staff were very welcoming and were attentive throughout. Definitely a place to go if you want a romantic meal. Certainly worth the money.

Best guac! - Edit
Friendly and busy place in the Jordaan of Amsterdam. A bit pricey, but worth it. Fully vegan, so pick all you want to have! Portions may be a tad small, if you eat big portions, about three dishes for two persons are good. Or just try one dish and if you're not full, you can order another one, no fuss!
Read moreAbsolute highlight is the Guacamole. They walk to your table with a cart, you choose the avocado, and then they make fresh guac in front of you!
Pros: Fully vegan , The Guac, Friendly staff
Cons: Pricey/small portions for the price
