Nestled in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam-Centrum, Madre is not just another restaurant; it’s a celebration of vegan Mexican cuisine that tantalizes the taste buds and warms the soul.

We didn’t realize it was a vegan spot when we booked, but it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. The food was creative and full of flavor, loved the artichoke tacos and the guacamole was amazing! Dessert was also a highlight. It was a unique experience, definitely different for my taste, but absolutely worth trying! ✨

Madre has very good Mexican food, especially the green beans, tacos and dessert is amazing. Having said that, we have been here twice and had the shared menu for two (the larger one). Within just five months, the experience changed noticeably. The portion sizes are considerably smaller, and you're given one dish less. The hefty price tag is not reflected in the food you receive. I also would like to note long waiting times between dishes, at both visits we started eating the dessert more than 2.5 hours after entering the restaurant. The ambience of the restaurant is nice, but it is very loud. You can barely hear the music, or hear the other person talking. When full, it feels a little cramped.

I did note this to restaurant staff today, and they did give us a free Salsa to take home to make up for the long waiting times, which I really appreciate.

The food is simply amazing. Tasty but not heavy, flavorful but not too unsettling, and fresh.
We got a guacamole(great though on the high price-end), all tacos were pure delicacies (shoutout to the artichoke and 3D printed « pork »). Ending with the tres lèche soaked brioche was the cherry on the brioche.
Great service as well. Will definitely come when in the area again.

It was a good Mexican cuisine experience with vegan content. We tried ‘the chef’s choice.’ Everything was fine, though one of the tacos wasn’t to my taste. The waitstaff was very helpful and explained the menu clearly. The Michelada tasted a bit like gazpacho, but it wasn’t bad:)

The back side of Madre has a nice atmosphere, but I will definitely come again for the bar side, which looks really cozy

As a non vegan, this place surprised me so much. The food was amazing and I couldn't really tell it was vegan.I loved everything, I only need to say that  the 3 leches tasted really good however, for me the brioche tasted more like a french toast than a tres leches, still loved it, but if you are expecting a classic tres leches you should take this into consideration. I'm definitely coming back.
