Simple but very budget-friendly

A full 3 course menu for only 7.50 in 2025. That is really cheap! The place isn't updated in a long time by the looks of it, but the food is great. Enjoyed a very nice pumpkin soup with bread as a starter. A lentil and rice dish for the main. And rice with coconut carrot cake for dinner. The lentils were maybe somewhat simple but still tasty and filling. For 7.50 you cannot really go wrong and thus 5 stars!

Traditional Canarian food - the vegan way

Loved it here, completely different to other vegan places we’ve been and a real surprise. Run by a man who is clearly devoted to the vegan cause (24 years vegan apparently) - animal rights messages adorn the walls. The food was simple, hearty and very tasty - and incredibly good value. It’s a basic, honest, no frills establishment - and long may it continue.

Ganz schlimm.

Alles klebte. Der Laden war dunkel. Die Einrichtung war runtergerockt. Das Essen lieblos auf den Teller geklatscht und unglaublich fettig. Der Wein war gut und der Wirt war lustig.

It was a really nice experience in La Laguna. It wasn't what I expected on the outside but the food was amazing!! I had the meal of the day and also the tortilla de papas which was amazing 😍 and really good prices!
The man there was also really nice!

Heaven

The food was delicious. Generous. Amazing !!! It really reminded me of the Spanish food I used to get in Madrid when I was not vegan 15 years ago. The real traditional stuff. His seitan is the most amazing I ever had. Highly highly recommend, please support this restaurant so that it’s still open when I go back there next year and allll the following years !!!!

Pros: La tortilla, Un ragoût de seitan à tomber par terre, Le dessert

Rica comida tradicional

Sitio acogedor en el centro de La Laguna donde se puede disfrutar de platos veganos tradicionales a muy buen precio.
Tienen un menú con principal, segundo y postre, pero también sirven platos fuera del menú

Pros: Comida casera

Sitio tradicional

Es un sitio muy tradicional (típico bar que puedes encontrar en cualquier lado) pero con comida e ideología 100% plant-based.

Está claro que el sitio no es el mas refinado del mundo pero ahí también tiene su encanto (si buscas algo más típico español).

Cominos el menú del dia por 7,50€ cada uno y nos quedamos bien. #Veganuary

Comida casera rica y barata

El menú valía 7,50€ con postre. Estaba todo muy bueno. El chico ha sido amable, lo único que ha fallado es el tema del baño que regulín, pero la comuda BUENÍSIMA. #Veganuary

A bit disappointing

Cool local vibe, cheap, appreciate a fully vegan place ( 1 star just for that) but the food was only so so and the place could definitely have been cleaner. Expected a lot more after reading all the raving reviews.

Eating like at home

The waiter spoke only a little english and the menu was only in spanish, but with online translation we made it.
The food was very delicious and cheap.
It is like eating at someone's house, so expect nothing fancy, just a plain but tasty meal.

Comida bien pero local regular

El sitio tiene comida a muy buen precio si coges un menú y está muy muy rico. El problema es que por un lado el local no está muy limpio, sobre todo el baño, y que la persona que nos atendió tenía una forma de tratar un poco peculiar. No sabemos si es una cuestión de la población local que desde fuera no sabemos entender pero no se sabía si estaba siendo desagradable o hablaba con bromas. En cualquier caso a mí en concreto me pareció incómodo.

Pros: Comida muy rica, Precio bueno

Cons: Trato extraño o incómodo, Poca limpieza

Excellent food for cheap!

They only had a set menu, two delicious courses carrot cake dessert and a small beer. Very tasty food and nutritious. Paid 9.5 euro for everything. Do not expect a premium looking restaurant. It reminded me of a South American beat down corner restaurant but I don't mind it. Adds to the experience.

Simple vegan food, very relaxed place

This is a small place located in a mall, with a very simple and homely atmosphere. Some regular clients behaved really as if they were at home, the owner treated them like they were family. The food is simple, tasty and really cheap.
I had a chickpea, tofu and seitan stew, very filling and warming.

Pros: Simple homemade food , Very cheap!

Excelente!!!

La comida esta buenísima, todo muy casero y se nota echo con cariño, como comer en casa de tus padres o abuelos. Y la relación calidad-precio inmejorable. Suena música clásica de fondo, el local es simple, pero muy acogedor y tranquilo. Y Plinio que es el dueño, cocinero y camarero a la vez es encantador. Recomiendo sin duda y volveré!

Comida casera típica, imprescindible!

Love the owner

It tasted good but it was too greasy for my liking (and stomach). Boyfriend loved it. I would give it 3,5 stars but since this isn’t possible at HC, I give it a 4 because of the owner.

Pros: Location, Owner

Cons: Too greasy

Favourite in La Laguna

I used to go to this place at least once a week for months, when I lived in Tenerife. The place is cozy, the owner (who is also the only cook) friendly, the food is DELICIOUS and so appreciated as it is traditional food from the island in ita vegan version - can’t find that anywhere else.

Increíble, se siento como comer en casa de tu abuela. Comida tradicional ética.
Mucha cantidad a buen precio.

Recomiendo: ropa nueva y croquetas.

Pros: Ropa vieja, Croquetas, Precio y cantidad

Cons: Un poco sucio

Como invitados a la casa de un amigo

La comida es deliciosa. Probé el menú del día: crema de lentejas, guiso de seitán y postre (natillas, tarta de zanahoria...). Todo delicioso y muy barato.
El local tiene cartelería reivindicativa vegana, lo que lo convierte en un lugar más especial todavía.
Es como comer en la casa de alguien a quien se le da muy bien la cocina y le importan poco las apariencias.
