Excited to do another review in Oxnard on my birthday! I ventured to Oxnard to see how clean the beach house needed to be, and among other things whether it was in good shape. Outside of this I looked up places to eat and the pictures of the food service etc. I found this place nearby. From the outside, parking was tough to find, difficult to find the place since it is small in a clustered area with homes and a few other shops. The place itself is quite nice inside and right to the side of it. They had outside decorative seats which were nice to look at. Service was great! The woman told us the bold truth about what is good in a pleasant way. She told us the ingredients and how each was a highlight. One of the dishes I wanted to order was the gyro sandwich but it didn't have a key ingredient available at the time. It was the tzatziki sauce. It was a vegan kind that really increases the flavor of the gyro sandwich. Outside of this, she didn't recommend it without that sauce. I ordered the shoreline burrito which the person at front claimed was popular and it looked good from the pictures. The only flaw was the price to value. The ingredients were good quality but did not have that large amount I expected. It was $21 for the burrito with some tortilla chips on the side. I was still hungry after and although it tasted fine, so so or slightly above average, it wasn't really a great value. But everything else was decent. Just that one flaw was disappointing. I found it to be okay to try it out if you want to eat healthy at least, the ingredients are decent quality. read more

Glad there's a vegan spot in Oxnard!! This place is so cute. The owner, I forgot her name was sweet and helpful. The restaurant is named after a boat that had a shipwreck in the area. The Nard nachos were super tasty! they have great vegan sauces. The tempeh bacon in the shoreline burrito was yummy. read more

I loveee this place. The shipwreck smoothie is sooo yum and I love when she has pastries out. I've never tried the food but it looks really good and I mostly love the natural ingredients and how it still tastes delicious read more

What an adorable cafe! The staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. The food's so yummy and nutritious, too! This sweet place is a must go. I always want to support plant-based establishments when I can. It's so sad how they're disappearing! . read more

It's a real treat to find such a wonderful place with gluten free options in the neighborhood. The first time we came my daughter ordered the gyro and it was excellent. This morning we ordered a bagel and burger. My daughter forgot to specify that she has a gluten allergy and we didn't realize until the food was made. The owner made another burger and refused payment, and let us keep the first one that was made, which is why we understood just how tasty it was. Excellent customer service, delicious food, clean establishment...La Jenelle checks all the boxes. We will be back! read more

my daughter and I was looking for a Plant Based stop/restaurant to eat. we actually stumbled across La Jenelle and decided to to get a meal for an early birthday present for me. we had the burger, the quesadillas, garlic bread and a burrito. for drinks we had the lemon water with chia seeds and also the Berry smoothie. Desert was the plant base brownie. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING ! We truly enjoyed dining there. The owner is extremely pleasant. She made us feel so welcomed. I would definitely recommend this as "THE SPOT " if you want fresh organic plant based food! Thank you Xochitl making our experience enjoyable! read more

Service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious! The owner was very welcoming & has many tempting menu options to choose from.

I had an amazing experience here today!! The owners are so very sweet and easy to talk to. We ordered the burger and Cesar salad and let me say everything was delicious. You can tell they put love into their food and they don't use generic brand names. The bean patty is house made. My non vegan dad was very impressed by the food. If this place wasn't as far away I would come more often. In the mean time I'll be day dreaming of the burger. read more

Oh, La Jenelle...how I wish y'all had a location in Santa Monica! During our week in Oxnard, we visited every day (except Tuesday) and enjoyed so much delicious, healthy, organic fare like a jackfruit sandwich, nachos, and key lime chocolate balls. The owners and their daughter are incredibly kind and conscious and it was our pleasure to support such a delightful, family-owned business ;) read more

Omg why haven't I heard about this cafe til today! I got the shoreline burrito, nachos, and the ship wreck smoothie! Let me say.. it was fireworks at first bite! The burrito had so much flavor, every bite I took I wanted more! Nachos were amazing with really good vegan cheese.. it wasn't powdery vegan cheese like other establishment. It had a nice chipotle smoky taste, with all the yummy toppings. The homemade guacamole pico was delicious it just made both of the dishes an even more explosion in your mouth. To cool off the spice, the smoothie is a must try! I'm so happy and excited to have a vegan place so close to home. I will definitely be back to try every single item on the menu. Keep up the good work and I can definitely feel and taste the love of vegan food in their cooking. read more

It's all vegan. Expensive items but very tasty. The man and the woman that were taking orders and making the food were very helpful and nice people. I got the anacapa salad, which was pretty good. I also ordered the El Capitan pulled potc(made with jackfruit) sandwich that was messy but very tasty. I got the berry bliss smoothie and a fiji water. All the food came quick and delivered to the table and was really tasty and made me feel good. Small spot but big flavor. Nice outdoor tables. I went with my mom and her little dog. Good vibes. I'm a fan. Delicious and healthy stuff. It's worth a try for sure. read more

Super, sincerely friendly service. Absolutely delicious and healthy food. The owner puts her heart into every dish.

What a great chill place and Sochi (sp?) the owner is so kind and friendly. Food was amazing! We were from out of town but it's obvious everyone knows her as people were going in and out to get snacks and talk to her. A real beachy neighborhood find. Go there if you're in the area! read more

I stopped by to try this vegan charm and was pleasantly surprised at the casual atmosphere and home style vegan food they have to offer. The man running the place is super chill and really cool. They explain everything in the menu and there is not a lot to choose from, but just the right amount. I ordered the North Jetty Bagel and he was out of bagels but suggested using a baguette instead. I'm cool with this so I tried it and it is SO good!!! He was very kind and I'm so happy I found a new spot. read more

Can't believe all vegan and natural from scratch. So much flavor and so so delicious. Such a kind owner as well. I ate the nard nachos. They were so delicious-Homemade cashew cheese sauce! So so good!! Highly recommend. The others I was with got the Gyro and the pulled pork sandwich. Gyro not the best, not enough sauce didn't really taste like a gyro. However, the Pulled pork sandwich was so so delicious! Loved the pretzel bun!! All in all 10/10, very impressive all vegan scratch not a beyond burger type food like veggie grill. Thank you La Jenelle!! read more

So freaking good! I'm not even vegan (my sister), which means I have weird feelings towards substituting meats and such. This place is the only exception, the food is phenomenal, a bit pricy but nothing I can be upset about. The staff is very kind and always down to chat as well. Overall, worth the stop! read more

La Jenelle Natural just put Oxnard on the map for vegan cuisine! We were looking for plant based food close to the harbor and La Jenelle delivered deliciousness and friendly service all in one. The owner was great to talk to and the food was outstanding. Our family passed plates around the table to make sure everyone could taste everything we ordered. Best jackfruit carnitas I've ever had. The pulled pork sandwich was fantastic. I tried the special which also just amazing. We've already decided to come back today. Outdoor seating and great food. What more could I ask for? Thank you La Jenelle! read more

Was recommended to me by a good friend of mine! I haven't tried the food yet BUT grabbed myself a smoothie called the "Shipwreck" and it didn't disappoint! Was filled with bananas, coconut, cacao nibs, dates, and I believe almond milk. The smoothie was blended to perfection and not overly sweet! The service was amazing as I was greeted at the door with a smile and conversation by the staff. *would have took a picture but my smoothie done Shipwreck was 10/10 Service 10/10 read more

Food is really good! Service was a little slow at the time but it improved and we were happy to find comfortable seating outside.

This place is awesome! The lady was super nice and helpful inside in choosing. We went with the burgers and were very happy. The bun was soft and slightly crisp on outside like a good pretzel bun (not crispy like a chip but nicely done if that makes sense). The burger was flavorful and moist. All the toppings added so much to the taste. The pickles, cheese, and sauce. We had the lemon lavender cheesecake and cinnamon crumb cake for dessert and they were the perfect topping. The cheesecake in particular was lemony and rich. The crust was so good - not overly sweet. Rich. We will be back! read more

Situated on sleepy Silver Strand beach, the food here is definitely a vibrant way to wake up! Came for lunch and had the MexiCali bowl. So delicious and full of flavor.

I'm actually a meat eater with the intention of including raw organic nutritious options to my diet. I've had about six items on this menu, which is fairly limited to begin with, but I have enjoyed every one of them. And I always enjoy the greeting. I get even when I'm just walking by with my dog. read more
