    Jacked Taco (GF)Sweet Potato Fries
    Ashley E.

    Boyfriend and I were here in Riverside for a work Christmas dinner. We were staying down the street from this cafe. I like to eat vegetarian food, my boyfriend does not really eat it but will try for me. It's a cute little set up next to a healthy grocery store. They were very helpful with the recommendations. I got the jack fruit tacos, the champurrado ( with oat milk and vegan chocolate) it was really different from the original since that's how I drink it. Very good though, definitely recommend. Then my boyfriend had the tamale, Pupusa zucchini and he had the juice. Very impressed how delicious they are! My boyfriend said they should open an actual restaurant. If I'm ever in riverside, I'll be back

    Vegan horchata
    Erin K.

    Oasis is a great location to try even if you are not vegetarian or vegan. Located next to La Sierra Natural Foods, it is a little counter where you can order a variety of handmade vegan items. The menu lists no prices, so while ordering, I did not have the faintest idea what my total would be. I ordered a combo, which according to the sign comes with a Dish + Side + Drink. I got the Tofu Sandwich (blackened tofu), sweet potato fries, and a horchata. The cashier advised me that the horchata would be a $2.25 upcharge to the combo. I accepted, but was confused as to why it would be listed under "Drinks" on the menu, but require an upcharge. There were no indications on the posted menu sign which drinks would be free with the combo meal. The tofu sandwich was good, but next time I would like to try the turmeric marinated tofu. The cayenne/paprika seasoning had a nice kick, but usually I find that marinated tofu has more flavor. The sweet potato fries were delicious, I only wish they came with a few more! Great service! Even with a line, my meal came out hot and fresh in under 10 minutes.

    I can't believe I've lived in the area for almost 10 years and never knew about this hidden gem!! I finally found a hearty jackfruit burrito that is so flavorful you won't believe it's not real meat! I sampled the ice cream sandwiches and loved them all- you can't go wrong with any of them. I'm looking forward to trying the bowls, salads and juices next. This will be a spot I visit at least once per week.

    Love that they offer inside and indoor seating. The menu offers an array of options. I opted for the carnitas taquitos that come in a 4 piece plate with cream dressing, avocado dressing and lettuce. Two are filled with potatoes and two come with carnitas. The taquitos are filled with so much flavor i absolutely loved them. Ordering was easy you go to the window on the outside and pick up after they call your name at the window. Located by La Sierra university off of pierce street. The seating and area is super calm so a great place to sit and enjoy your meal. The riverwalk isn't too far so you could also opt for a short walk after with a nice little view. Love Oasis and glad I got to try their taquitos.

    Plantains and aioli

    This place... This place!!!! Omg. It's a little out of the way for me so I've never been despite some prior curiosity, but my sports therapist is down the street so I'm swinging by Oasis every Taco Tuesday now. Could not be happier. The food here is so wholesome. I definitely don't eat enough greens in general so I love that most dishes are packed with fresh veggies. Oasis is serious about serving these feel-good meals, with some fried dishes even having an option to be air fried instead of deep fried. The carnitas are made of seitan and they are fabulous. They crunch on the outside (as if they were fried, but I'm not sure because they're not oily at all!) and are soft and tender on the inside. There are other options I'm sure are equally delicious like jackfruit or potatoes subbing in for meat, but I prefer the carnitas for getting protein in. The sides are great as well. I've tried the potato wedges and plantains so far and loved them both. They are perfectly crispy and somehow hardly oily at all. You order at the counter and clean up after yourself. The girls who work here are super sweet and bubbly so don't be shy if you have any questions. I believe indoor dining closes at 6:30PM, but I'd happily sit outside in the cold if it means eating here. No lie, last week I went to the gym to hit upper, came here for dinner, then felt so good after I went back to do lower body too. :)

    The little window on the left is the order area. You can sit down inside the store if you choose or outside.

    This place is the best vegan joint in the inland empire. It's a small restaurant right outside of a local grocery and they simply do not make bad food. I've been coming here for years and they've only ever been kind, and produced quality meals. If you can hit them up on Sunday, you need to try the pozole; it's simply killer! If you're a vegan, or simply want to try great plant based options, this is the place to go to.

    Oasis Burger Combo, Sweet Potato Fries, Iced Matcha Tea, Red Pepper Sauce, Vegan Aioli
    James E.

    Highly recommend! Even if you're not a vegetarian, everything is made with care, seasoned well and healthy. On top of that, the service has always been fantastic. It's located in a pretty peaceful area. Conveniently, they share space with a vegetarian/health centered grocery store, too. Seating is great both inside and outside. Check them out! You won't regret it!

    tofu vegetable burrito with avocado ginger sauce
    Glecy L.

    I didn't know what to expect as i am new to vegan food but man oh man this is bomb. i am very impress with everything we got. You know when its rainy and you want comforting food this place delivered. I had the tofu breakfast burrito and it was so tasty!!! i had it with avocado ginger which complimented the vegetable and tofu!! They also had us try the other saice. The turmeric aioli is pretty similar to mustard (love it), vegan cream more like mayo!!! hubby had the build your own burrito with carnitas and mushroom with red pepper sauce!!! Way better than chipotle. i also love the hot matcha latte!!! You can taste the freshness of the matcha and when i said hot it was really hot!! Love it!!! cant wait to try more!!!!

    Viva Vegan was one of those little hole-in-the-wall spots you don't expect much from at first…read moreglance, and honestly, I went in with pretty low expectations. Being a fully vegan Mexican restaurant, I wasn't sure how well they'd pull off those bold, traditional flavors. But to their credit, the food actually surprised me. The vegan meats had solid flavor and were pretty close to the real thing, especially when it came to those classic Mexican seasonings. You could tell they put effort into making the dishes taste authentic. That said, the burritos were a bit heavy on the rice and beans, which kind of took away from the overall balance. Customer service was just okay nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either. It got the job done, but didn't really add to the experience. One downside was the pricing. For what you get, it did feel a bit overpriced, especially considering the portions. It's also worth noting that Viva Vegan is now permanently closed, which isn't too surprising. While the food had its highlights and was impressive for vegan Mexican food, it didn't quite hit the mark enough to keep people coming back consistently. Overall, it was a decent spot for what it was, especially if you're curious about vegan Mexican food, but not something that really stood out in the long run in my opinion.

It was nice to be able to enjoy some vegan ramen. There's a a lot of vegan Mexican spots in SoCal and I've tried a good amount of it, so that's how I'm reviewing this, in that context. I would eat here if I was in the area, but wouldn't go outta the way for it. Mostly for it being outta the way and I know where I can get better food closer to home. I ordered the barrio, nachos and tacos. I didn't love the nachos or the cheese here. The tacos were good, tho you can't really mess up tacos in SoCal. Also, the parking lot is pretty small. This is more of a quick stop or pick up and go type of place.

I hope they grow and open more locations. My husband and I just drove an hour to get to the Riverside location. We're only able to come once a month because it's so far away. We would hit it once a month if it were closer, maybe more than once a month. Service is always great at this location. They have stickers and buttons available.

Customer service has always been on point too. The staff is friendly, chill, and they make the experience easy every time I go in. One thing to keep in mind, they almost always have a wait time, so you definitely need to be patient. It's not the kind of spot where you're in and out quick, but the food usually makes it worth it. The only downside for me is the pricing. Ever since they switched locations, the prices have gone up quite a bit. It's definitely noticeable, especially if you've been going there as long as I have. That being said, I still find myself coming back. The jalapeño poppers are probably my favorite thing on the menu, they're so good, especially with their vegan ranch. If you do decide to check it out, just go in open minded. It is vegan pizza, so it's not going to taste exactly like your usual pizza, but for what it is, it's really good and definitely satisfying. Overall, if you're curious about vegan food or just want to try something different, Vegan Korner is worth checking out.
