Creative food - Edit
Restaurant with a varied menu that includes Spanish and international dishes. All the dishes look very good. We ordered croquettes with bravioli sauce (very good), Middle Eastern rice, pad thai and for dessert, horchata cream. All the dishes were delicious and had a unique combination of flavours. Highly recommended. I warn those of you who, like me, read the “beetroot ravioli” dish and think that they are filled with beetroot: no, the ravioli are made of beetroot (not pasta), I warn you because the name of the dish may seem confusing.

Tasty Vegan Dishes with a Unique Dessert - Edit
I ordered for delivery. I liked everything we ordered: the croquettes, the pad thai, and the Middle Eastern rice. We also had the horchata cream for dessert, which I found very original.

Amazing food - Edit
The food was very tasty and the portions were really large. Also the menu was not mainly "fancy fastfood" as many vegan places in Madrid are.
Read moreI went with two non vegans and also they genuinely enjoyed the food.

Menú completo delicioso y asequible - Edit
Fuimos por primera vez y nos encantó! Pedimos el menú mediodía: entrante, plato principal, postre y bebida. Eliges el plato y la bebida que quieras de la carta, el entrante y postre son del día. Pedí el arroz mediooriente y estuvo riquísimo, las escalopas de soja espectaculares! Todo eso a un precio superasequible! Volveremos!

Really good! - Edit
Went here with some more people and got to try manh of their dishes. We ordered the lentil ceviche salad, their charcuterie board, the pad thai, mushroom durum, tofu and "tuna" tartar, and a burger. All was good, although we especially liked the pad thai, the ceviche, and the charcuterie board. We also asked for bread and it was really delicious too.
Read moreFor dessert we had the horchata cream which was nice and the cheesecake which was really delicious.
The menu is really interesting, with lots of funky and inventive dishes that you just want to try lol.
Pros: Interesting dishes
Cons: Pricey

Cute decore, friendly staff - Edit
this was a very cute an aesthetically pleasing restaurant. The food was very good and beautifully presented. I do wish they had more options on their revenue and items for children, but they also have several raw dishes, which was a cool find!
Read morePros: atmosphere, hours, Food presentation
Cons: Need more simplistic items or some smoothies

Nice, but not exceptional - Edit
The description in the menu does not convey what you will get, so it would be nice to have pictures in the menu.
Read moreWe got "best seller" - croquettes, which were not crunchy.
Oven rice stew with beyond sausage, that was a surprise for me, since I expect something different.
Takos was tasty, but a bit bland.
The cake of the day was nice.
Cons: Would be great to have pictures in the menu

Es war lecker! - Edit
Nach dem Besuch im Museum Reina Sofia sind wir hier zum Mittagessen eingekehrt. Es war gut zu tun, aber es ging alles sehr schnell.
Read moreAls Vorspeise hatten wir sehr leckere Gyozas und als Hauptgang Pad Thai und Ramensuppe.
Es war alles sehr lecker, jedoch fand ich den Preis für die Ramensuppe im Verhältnis zur Portionsgröße sehr hoch. Es kam mir eher wie eine Vorspeise vor Das Pad Thai war bestimmt die dreifache Menge zum ähnlichen Preis.

Excelente restaurante con platos creativos - Edit
La verdad me ha encantado el sitio. Tienen una carta muy original y reducida porque todo es casero y de hecho lo prefiero así, cuando tienes demasiadas opciones siempre es complicado elegir😄pagué 29€ para un entrante, un plato, un postre, pan y una agua con gas, me parece que está súper bien de precio teniendo en cuenta la cantidad y la calidad. Camarera súper maja

Independent all vegan restaurant in a cool part of town - Edit
Located in a bohemian area of Madrid, this independent vegan restaurant is worth checking out. Spanish food is generally a little bland for my palette; I found that with the food here. The flavours were good but could perhaps benefit from some fire!

Rico y opciones originales - Edit
Carta vegana variada y original con opciones crudiveganas.
Read moreTodo lo que probamos nos encantó, y las croquetas no son para nada típicas ni grasientas. Los entrantes no son especialmente abundantes pero los platos principales sí me parecieron contundentes.
NECESARIA RESERVA aunque nosotros pudimos reservar un par de horas antes de ir. El restaurante, aunque se llene, en ningún momento es agobiante, pues la disposición de mesas es amplia y separada.
Pros: Originalidad, Sabor, Ambiente agradable
Cons: Precio moderado

Genial - Edit
Tienen un menú muy variado con opciones muy diferentes a otros sitios veganos típicos. El precio no es exagerado aunque no es para ir todos los días. Todo lo que probamos estaba increíble pero las porciones son más bien pequeñas, muy recomendable especialmente la causa limeña con jackfruit y los postres. El ambiente es muy agradable y el servicio muy rápido en servir la comida. Requiere reserva sí o sí.

Comida vegana exquisita - Edit
Fui a este lugar con mi pareja y los dos quedamos encantados con el servicio y la comida que son de 10! Probamos la tabla de quesos y embutidos, las croquetas de tomate seco, la causa limeña, padthai, ramen agripicante y el cheese cake. Todo sin excepción estaba brutalmente delicioso. Lo recomiendo 💯😊 #Veganuary

Creative Culinary Twists on Cultural Staples - Edit
Creative culinary twists on cultural staples make La Encomienda a viable option for any local Madrileño. There are more successes (and risks) than failures, but La Encomienda falls short of being superior in a city full of vegan marvels.
Read moreThe atmosphere exudes faux-high dining with pointed bare-stone walls and soft, sultry lighting. It would be a great place to grab an evening La Latina drink. The wait staff was friendly and informed on all diet restrictions. We were accompanied by a gluten-free diner who appreciated the reassurance.
The menu varies between Pad Thai, Tofu tacos, and African-style rice, providing something for everyone. The food is creative, twisting traditional meals into something original. The Pad Thai was creamed with avocado and sprinkled with crushed pistachios (a beautiful textural mix). Although the rice pasta was slightly overcooked (understanding that gluten-free pasta is temperamental), the dish still satisfied. The desert achieved something moist where most fall flat: moisture. Most cakes crumble into nothing as soon as the utensil penetrates. Instead, the Chocolate cake exuded moistness, holding together until the last bite.
The biggest knock is the price-to-portion ratio. They are small plates (don't come hungry), but the pricing isn't wildly unequal. I would have been happier to pay more for a grander portion.
La Encomienda still satisfies through a risk-taking menu and twisty cultural plates: a viable option for any gluten-free or vegan (or combined) local diner.
Pros: Location, Atmosphere, Gluten-free options
Cons: Portions

Delicious croquettes ! - Edit
I got the croquettes that were so delicious. And got another dish that was so fresh, composed of beetroot, fresh vegan cheese underneath it, and mushrooms with some cream on it. The beetroot with the cheese was so delicious, whereas the mushrooms were ok but not so tasty.

Kreative Küche - Edit
Freundlich und hilfsbereit wurden wir empfangen und versorgt.
Read moreDie Käseplatte war leider im zwei Spezialitäten ärmer als sonst, was aber vorher kommuniziert wurde und einen Preisnachlass gab es dafür auch.
Der Burger war leider etwas schmal mit den Beilagen und daher insgesamt eher etwas für den kleinen Hunger, geschmacklich aber ok.
Das Highlight war das Tofu-Tartar mit Thunfisch von der Wassermelone, ja 🍉. Sehr kreativ und wohlschmeckend.
Pros: kreativ, freundliche Bedienung
Cons: bisschen zu teuer
