Great find. Sorry I didn't come sooner - Edit
Madrid is a tough place to find vegan protein. I'm not sure why I waited until my last night to try this place, because I should have come sooner so I could come back again. They have a lovely buffet. There were at least 5 kinds of vegan protein. I love the seitan style protein. There were different styles, types and flavors. There was a great mushroom cap stuffed with something delicious. The sushi is probably something you can skip, but the Chinese-style proteins are very good. I had to force myself not to overeat. The waiter said everything on the dinner buffet was vegan. But the dessert buffet had some milk products in a few things. There were tiramisu type cakes that contained milk. But there were two great vegan desserts that I tried, a tiny little pastry stuffed with some sweet sesame seeds and sesame paste. Very yummy. And a vegan flan. I think there was also a similar-looking flan with milk in it, so be sure to ask which has milk, which doesn't. They also have beer and wine. Great place!

Results may vary - Edit
I ate there twice over the course of a couple of weeks. On my first occasion I was positively surprised, since the buffet is vast (and all vegan, they maintain) and certainly cheap. The second time around though, we had a few surprises: not only did they not open on time, but I was looking forward to the buffet, which was served after 13:00. This meant we had to settle for a menú del dÃa, which was ok. This could easily be clarified at the door, so hopefully they will indeed indicate this in their opening hours, to avoid disappointments.

Wonderful variety at great value - Edit
A wonderful variety of around 25 main dishes (many salads too) and 10 desserts, for an unbeliavably cheap price. Most were vegan, and this was clearly shown for the main dishes, although one was not marked so when I took some the 'waitress' immediately advised me that it contained dairy items, fetching me some plain rice instead. Three of the desserts were vegan too. All tasted nice, with some quite unusual (mainly Chinese) flavours and textures (I love seaweed but they had various types I'd never tried before). Similar to the Tai Buffet in London, but not as spicy. Cordon bleue it ain't (if you want that, try Yerbabuena instead) but it easily fills you up with nutritious, tasty food.

Pros: Variety, Cheap, Vegan-friendly
Cons: Easy to overeat, Some non-vegan options not marked

server uncomfortable - Edit
the server was very uncomfortable when we wanted to know what was vegan because there are no labels. According him, the 4 menus are vegan, I don't know in which dishes are hidden animal products. The dishes are good but the lemon chicken a little sickening. The main advantage is price.

Tucked away but not that hard to find - a jem - Edit
My wife and I, while vacationing in Madrid, made it a point to visit as many veg. restaurants as possible. This was one of the best. It's unbelievably cheap (a big meal, including drink, runs between 4-7 Euros), substantial, and tasty. I'd recommend the mock duck (tastes like Tofurky) and the veggie egg rolls - and the lemon chik'n. The service was great (very friendly and helpful - one of the waitresses even went across the street to a supermarket to see if she could find some spicy mustard for me) and it wasn't that hard to find. (Take the Metro to Callao, exit at the Callao Square, cross over Gran Via and then make a right...it's the first little street you'll come to. It's on the left, about half a block down.)
