I highly recommend this 100% vegan restaurant in Oceanside! The lasagna was incredible--so rich and flavorful, you'd never guess it was vegan. A must-try! Hidden Gem! LASAGNA BOLOGNESE: Mouth-watering vegan bolognese sauce layered with our sunflower mozzarella and fresh pasta baked to perfection and smothered in there in aerosa. Jughead Burger: Cast Iron seared burger, hand-made pretzel bun, thousand islands, melted cheese tomatoes, pickles, onions, lettuce, Served with russet & sweet potato fries and house-made ketchup. Bam-Bam Burger: Cast Iron-seared burger, hand-made pretzel bun, spicy Bam-Bam sauce, vegan Bleu Cheeze, crispy onion strings, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, Served with russet & sweet potato fries and house made ketchup. Fairly small restaurant with limited seating. Street parking. read more

Service was good I think there's a guy who owns or cooks or manages the place. The interior decor is cool and refreshing The food is really good. I had one of their specials, chicken Parmesan. The sauce was amazing. Chicken parm had a crunch breading that's different that what I was used to. Pasta had some grilled onions. The one order was enough for 2 people Place is great for lunch with the ocean breeze. read more

A very cute casual spot with a creative menu where you order at the counter and grab an open table indoors or on their outdoor patio. We ordered two items, one of which was the daily special, the Lasagna Bolognese and a Firecracker Sando with upgraded Chipotle fries. The total came out $52, so I'd say this place is more $$$ vs $$. The portions as you can see from the pics are huge. Overall the flavors weren't bold or spicy as I hoped. The service was great, and kept us updated as the special took a bit longer to make. read more

This is my 3rd time coming here and everytime the food is top notch and the service is always welcoming.

I got the bam bam burger, husband got the chicken pam, my friend got the abodo sietan tacos, and my other friend got the yippie "special" burger. Also the patio seating area is just awesome. read more

I just went to Eris Food for the first time and can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the experience. My friend and I split a couple of different burgers which were both delicious. The ambiance was equally great, between the eclectic, art-covered walls inside and the beautiful outdoor patio. We chatted with the owner for a few minutes, who couldn't have been more welcoming and just plain cool. Highly recommend! read more

This restaurant is amazing! We ordered the carne asada bowl and the chikon bakon ranch sando. My boyfriend and I shared the dishes and had to take a big portion of the asada bowl home. The next day, we shared the asada bowl and it was still as delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant for vegans and non-vegans. Quality food, healthy, flavorful, fresh, and a great value. read more

There are so many wonderful things about this restaurant I hardly know where to begin. Scott is the most welcoming host ever making everyone feel welcome. I was so touched when I brought my nephew here that he took the time to remember his name and connect with him as he seems to do with everyone. The vibe is so Oceanside being close to the beach while having a unique style of it's own. I've enjoyed numerous great entrees but I have to say my favorite is the chikun parm oh and did I mention the flatbreads oh and the desserts are also spectacular! I continue to enjoy this gem of an eatery over and over and look forward to returning very soon. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Tarzan is so genuine and makes super yummy food. I want to try everything on the menu!

I have to say this is the very best began food I have ever had! Everything here is made from scratch... Everything! I had the Carne Asada bowl and it was excellent.. The service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is fun with local artists' works, vintage posters and morabilia, and shelves of books to browse. If you're looking for authentic vegan food or just delicious food in general, I highly recommend this. They do have gluten free options as well if that is something you're wanting or needing. read more

They say don't judge a book by its cover. This goes for Eris Vegan as well. The facade may look that it needs a coat of paint but the moment we set food in the door we were welcomed by Scott the owner. Turns out that Scott makes all his Food himself from scratch and boy were we in for a surprise. The food was the best vegan food we had as far as we can remember and Eris has a great menu. The restaurant gives a homely feeling and has a nice shaded area outside as well. Scott, you have two new fans of your place and we will definitely be back to enjoy some more of your cooking skills. Whomever lives in Oceanside or visits and loves vegan food should go and check it out. Olav and Azalia read more

What a special find! We were on our way to a wedding and were looking for a spot to have lunch. The menu looked great. Why not take a chance. OMG. This is the best vegan food we have ever eaten. Actually this is among the best food we've eaten. Everyone would love Scott's cooking. He makes everything from scratch and is a wonderful host. He cares about his food as well as his customers. The food is scrumptious. Great home cooking. I had the Havana Affair Bowl. His homemade mojo sauce was to die for. I finished the entire bowl. Heaven!! My partner had the French Dip sandwich with fries and homemade ketchup. Scott told us everything is homemade, even the Seitan. The sandwich and fries were divine. Scott has a wonderful spirit and it was a pleasure to enjoy his food at his charming restaurant. It's all love in there. I just wish his restaurant was closer to my home. I would have fun trying everything on the menu. If you're in the Oceanside area this is the place to eat. Thanks Scott. On the way out we picked up his homemade apple cobbler cake. We're having some in a bit. Yummy!! Oh, we also tried his Hibiscus Lavender tea with lemonade. It's so refreshing. A lovely blend of flavors. Don't hesitate. Try Eris Food. read more

Good-tasting food served by a rude owner. I debated whether I should share my experience or just let it go. I decided it is worth sharing in case others can learn and make an informed decision. I went with another vegan friend about a week ago. I ordered one of the bowls with the sauce on the side. The owner told me he could not do the sauce on the side. I asked if I could get the tacos with the sauce on the side. He said he could not do that either. I said ok and started to read through the menu in depth to see what I would want. The owner then asked me why I want sauce on the side and I told him I monitor calories. In a rude tone, he said, "Do you have a machine that calculates calories with you?" Did he really want to debate my diet with me? Though I should have just thanked him and not ordered anything to avoid patronizing someone who behaves this way, I did order something and it was fine. I won't go back. If you're ok having to defend the morality of requesting sauce on the side, maybe it's worth it. If you're at all sensitive, I recommend going elsewhere. read more

We were in town for the day and wanted to try some vegan options. Upon entering this cute establishment, we were immediately greeted with pleasantries!!!! The place is such a chill environment with perfect music to complement the vibe! We ordered the adobada tacos and bam bam burger with fries. The food was amazing! The right amount of spiciness and freshness!!! You have to try this place!!!! We will definitely be back!! read more

As a dyed-in-the-wool carnivore recently thrust into a vegan-ish lifestyle, my experiences with vegan restaurants have been scarce and drenched with reluctance and regret. But here at Eris, I immediately felt at home. Ordered the monster fries (highly recommend the seitan adobo) and the lamb gyro (huge) and was blown away. Put succinctly, this gyro put every other gyro I've had to shame. And I've been to Athens. I'm not going to bother writing a salacious exposé on the food's flavor. I implore you to experience it yourself. The owner, Scott, is incredibly vibrant and friendly and made it his mission to make ethical food without compromising on flavor. Based on the smiles he brings to his regulars and my own astonished delight, I'd say he's accomplished that and more. Thank you for crafting such a welcoming space, I'll be back very soon :) read more

A Must-Visit Gem for Vegan Food Lovers and Vibe Seekers Alike This spot is really something special. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and effortlessly cool... the kind of place where you could spend hours catching up with a friend, working on a passion project, or just soaking in the good energy. It's not just a restaurant; it's a third space, a community hangout, and a little oasis of calm in a busy world. The owner Scott is one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. He is genuinely passionate, approachable, and clearly pouring heart and soul into every detail, from the welcoming service to the thoughtfully crafted menu. It's the kind of hospitality that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a guest in someone's home. The food was amazing. Every dish bursts with flavor, and you can tell it's made from scratch with love and high-quality, homemade ingredients. It's not just vegan food that tastes good "for being vegan"--this is good food, period. Rich, bold, satisfying, and creative. And the portions? Generous doesn't even begin to cover it. Come hungry or come with friends, because you will not leave empty-handed (or empty-stomached). Whether you're fully plant-based or just curious, this place proves that vegan food can be comforting, exciting, and full of depth. Every bite feels intentional. Seasoned perfectly, balanced beautifully, and served with pride. This is the kind of local spot that deserves all the love and support. I'll be coming back every chance I get! read more

I'm not a vegan, my friend Dana is. I'm a foodie in pursuit of all foods with a wow factor. We are hard to impress because we both love to cook. This place is the real deal. You don't need to be vegan to say "might be the best meal I've had in weeks". Scott has curated a diverse menu with fresh ingredients and bold and beautiful flavors. The portions are very generous so don't be afraid ladies to split a meal. The chef/owner,Scott, loves what he does and it shows. read more

We like to support small businesses and found this place off Yelp. Without reading the reviews, our experience is solely based on our experience and unbiased. We came in right when it opened and our first impression was that we were greeted by the owner. We were told to wait about 5mins when it was open--which was fine. The decor of the place was very interesting with a lot of different elements. It was our first time there and the gentleman was helpful in making our decisions and was able to explain the menu to us. He tried to accommodate us, and was helpful in that regard. Although the owner was friendly, his style was a bit quick. He tried to upsell us on their fresh drinks which was a nice effort but we decided to just order the horchata. We decided to get the firecracker sando and some loaded fries. The food came out kind of quick which made me question the freshness of it. We were the first customers at 11am and the food came out a bit cold. The fries didn't seem as fresh nor hot and the sandwich was really messy to eat imo. The sandwich was so big I had a hard time eating it. It was too big for me to open my mouth too wide haha. It was tough and hard to eat. Eating it with a knife and fork would be troublesome. I get the style and gist of the menu but the food was not what I expected to be honest. The slaw was dripping wet and the taking a bite out of it had juice dripping from the sandwich--which was difficult to eat really. The plate had slaw water all over. I also would've hoped to have more flavor. The flavor overall was just okay. We sat at the back patio. The place definitely needs a makeover. The tables were not clean so we sat at the cleanest table but still had dried stuck food still lingering that wasn't wiped. The table covers baking in the sun looks to be in rough shape. Just my suggestion, hopefully that helps. Overall, the food was okay--wasn't what we thought it would be. The photos on the app looked so appetizing. Perhaps we were hungry. The owner did tend to us, served us our food, and asked us if we needed anything else. The decor inside was okay, just the outdoor seating needs some changes. read more

What a gift to O-Side! Wife said let's do vegan (I cried on the inside.) But we came and I will never be "Sam I am" again. I'm a carnivore and I wanted my first bite of my BBQ burger to last and last. I got chili fries as a side and the flavors were amazing. No nutritional yeast taste (which is my historic take on vegan food). I would recommend this chill spot to anyone looking for scratch batch, original recipes....I want to try everything . Thank you Scott! Your culinary expertise has truly opened my eyes. read more

The owner is one of the friendliest restaurant owners I've met! He always strikes up a conversation with me and anyone I bring to lunch. The food is amazing with an eclectic variety of cuisines. I recommend the pizzas, and mix the horchata with the cold brew coffee. The portions are gigantic!!!! I bought a gyro and split it between my father and my cousin, and we STILL could not finish it. Honestly this is a bonus, since it made great leftovers. The owner has set up a really awesome atmosphere. It is quintessential pop culture and beach art across the past few decades. One of my favorites is the Japanese Twin Peaks: Fire walk with me poster. Every time I finish a meal here, our party hangs around for hours afterwards. I love this place! I want to see this place passed down to the next generation. If the owner is reading this, thank you for everything. read more

The food at Eris is literally the best vegan food I've ever had. The owner is from Italy and you can taste the freshness and Love in everything on the menu. We have eaten here many times and we drive about 2 hours to get here...so you know it's really good. The location is boho doesn't look like anything special from the outside but what shines is the truly amazing food. Even my friends that are not vegans loved loved this place. You MUST MUST eat here!! read more

Eris Food has truly redefined vegan cuisine, crafting dishes that elevate plant-based meals to a whole new level of indulgence. Let's start with their *lasagna*, which is nothing short of transcendent. The layers of rich, melty vegan cheese, hearty marinara sauce, and perfectly seasoned plant-based ground meat come together in a way that will have your taste buds dancing. Each bite delivers a comforting, flavorful warmth that lingers with a satisfying creaminess and depth that you never thought possible in a vegan dish. It's the kind of lasagna that gives you goosebumps. Then there's the *vegan chicken parm*, which will make you question every previous experience with this classic comfort food. The "chicken" is crispy and golden on the outside, with a tender, juicy center that mimics real poultry so well you might not even realize it's plant-based. Topped with that gooey, melty mozzarella, it's the perfect marriage of textures and flavors, each bite an explosion of savory goodness that hits every corner of your mouth with vibrant, tangy marinara and the crunch of a beautifully crisped coating. And don't even get me started on the *lentil soup with sausage* - it's a showstopper. The lentils are tender, while the sausage bursts with smoky, savory flavor. The richness of the broth, combined with the hearty lentils and meaty sausage, creates an almost addictive balance. It's both nourishing and decadent, with spices that ignite a symphony of flavor in your mouth that's both comforting and exhilarating. Every dish at Eris Food is a masterclass in vegan flavor that'll have your senses exploding in ecstasy. Their meals take plant-based eating to an entirely new level--if this is what vegan food can be, then sign me up for more. read more

This place is fantastic! Scott is a culinary genius, and one of the friendliest people I've ever met. My wife and I have been Vegan for many years, and this is some of the best vegan food we've ever had, it is truly amazing that Scott literally creates all of this food himself. On this visit we had the Super Gyro and The Black Star burger, the first time trying either and, as always, they were fantastic. The buns are the most amazing things, and that pita... OMG! The only downside, for us, is that this place is a bit of a drive for us (of course if it was any closer I'd probably weigh 500lbs!). Again, thank you Scott for the amazing food, great atmosphere, and friendly conversation. read more

I wanted to love this place, but did not. We ordered 4 meals and none of us finished our food. We've been vegan for over a decade, and have tried many fantastic vegan restaurants. This one just needs a little more work to perfect the dishes. The pizza for example was very doughy and not tasty. The owner is very sweet and the patio was charming. I just wouldn't return to this spot unfortunately. read more

For me this place is a slice of heaven near the beach. With an eclectic decor that leaves me in a constant state of euphoria staring at the decor, books , and artwork. That is just foreplay for the full experience. The drinks and food compliment and fully overshadow the ambiance of the place. The owner talked with us and the wait staff were wonderful. Bring a jacket the outdoors seating comes with brisk wind sometimes. If you want the full ritzy elegant dining experience, this might not be for you, but the food most certainly will be. The chicken Parmesan was so good. The burgers were flavorful. This will be my long drive for and wonderful dining experience.. read more

I was excited about this place because it is all vegan and got good reviews. However, I will not be going back and was nervous to try some other places in the area with similar food because it really wasn't good. I got the Carne Asada Bowl that had seitan carne asada, black beans, brown rice, lettuce, some sauce that was strange, and I think a pico and avocado. It really had no flavor so I tried putting some hot sauce on it, but it was a strange flavored hot sauce so it didn't help either. The lettuce seemed a little old and I couldn't tell any particular flavors in the food so I am assuming they weren't the most quality ingredients. My friend got the Havana bowl and said mine was better... I am not sure how that was possible because I couldn't even eat half of mine (threw much of it away). I had the worst gas all through the next afternoon then I think from the bowl that I had too. Maybe they didn't wrinse their black beans? It should be noted that I eat lots of mexican food and beans and don't have this problem normally. I also got their vegan carrot cake that was alright, but way too sweet for my liking. I am guessing it is their least sweet desert as the others all looked like straight sugar. Mainly the frosting was too much so I just decided not to eat that part. The inside had a bunch of concert posters and fun stuff hanging up so that was a cool vibe, but it also kind of felt a little dirty. Just spend the extra money and go to The Plot. read more
