ICONIC the food is delicious They are very speedy The first time we tried : taquitos (potato and jack fruit) They top with lettuce, guac and vegan crema and tomatoes THEY'RE PERFECT, they crunch and they're also soft and refreshing the salsa is spicy and makes your mouth slightly burn The loaded quesadilla is very filling and also delicious ! The black bean popusa was so good (going vegan I never thought I'd have one again) The tacos are also delicious The bean and cheese burrito is okay The hibiscus tea IS SO REFRESHING AND SWEET the chocolate cake was moist and sweet The potato wedges were also good after they sit they get a little hard so don't let them cool down as they are baked Thank you so much ! We love this place !!!! read more

Oasis Vegetarian Cafe - Carnita tacos - Vegetarian Near Me - Riverside, California

This spot is off the beaten path, connected to a small market. Everything here is fresh, and the pride they take in making delicious food is apparent. I have left here thinking vegan might be possible for me; but then reality smacks me upside the head. I digress, the point is you don't have to be vegetarian or vegan to appreciate Oasis. My current favorite order, which was recommended once by an employee, is the kids breakfast burrito, with avocado and coconut bacon. They pile on the avocado, and that coconut bacon! If you close your eyes, it'll transport you for that moment you chew, to breakfast in Hawaii. Oh a whim I ordered coconut water this last visit and they authenticate this order but serving the beverage straight out of the coconut. I have loved everything I've ordered here. I also recommend the jackfruit tacos. Service here always rocks. I typically call in my order as it does take a minute for the food to be prepared. But the staff is always so friendly, it's refreshing, just like the coconut water. Be aware that there is limited seating on the patio, more seating inside the market. This spot is a walk up window. read more

Oasis Vegetarian Cafe - Secret menu item! The jackstack Vegan burger in the back - Vegetarian Near Me - Riverside, California

We ordered the Taco Bowl and the Pupusa. We usually love Oasis, but this was a big miss. The pupusa was very dense and heavy. The taco bowl was over fried and very greasy. We ordered the large size, but it was significantly smaller than usual. The avocado ginger sauce we got with it tasted almost spoiled - it was not a great flavor. Regardless, the staff are always very friendly! read more

I Love their food! My Favorite are the Spinach Papuas! I also love the Potato Taqitos! The staff is friendly and they remember you which means a lot! The service is great! I wish they were open on Saturdays which is a bummer but I understand! The ambiance is good you walk up to order, you can eat outside or inside! It's hidden in a way wish it was more off the street! I'm sure they'd probably get more customers if that was the case. Good Food!!! read more

Great vegan selections. Food is amazing! Love the jackfruit taquitios. Had their loco pupusas too...on point!

As a meat eater, I am mind blown by how delicious their food is. The Oasis burger and veggies were cooked to perfection and made my day. The hot sauce is also in a supreme league of its own. Look no further, this place is truly one if a kind. They are also open during COVID-19 for both pickup and Doordash orders. read more

Oasis Vegetarian Cafe - Oasis patty burger, herb roasted veggies, red pepper sauce, and house hot sauce! - Vegetarian Near Me - Riverside, California

New year, new me? Cheers to a healthy start (for today at least)! I'm not vegan but vegan food is actually really delicious if you eat from the right places. Word around town, Oasis is the best vegetarian cafe in Riverside so I had to check it out. Upon arrival, I was a bit confused because I ended up at a La Sierra Organic-Gluten Free-non GMO-Whole Foods type of market. But then I saw the little sign to the left of the parking lot and there was my healthy Oasis! Surprisingly really packed during lunch but worth the wait. Their menu mainly consists of healthy alternatives to popular Hispanic dishes such as tacos, burritos and pupusas! They also have burgers, juices and kids meals. Most are build-your-own which is cool. A little pricey but you're doing your body good here while satisfying some cravings. You can't even tell it's vegan because that's how good it is! The food definitely tastes healthy and light yet filling. No greasiness or fake shit here. If you get the hot sauce on the side, use sparingly because it's really spicy! Only comment I can make besides how good everything was, is that the Bean & Cheese Pupusa I had was unevenly distributed; one side was mostly cheese while the other was mostly beans. It was still bomb tho and cooked to perfection! Don't skimp out on the curtido and red sauce when eating these bad boys. I would eat here more often if I wasn't a broke college kid. Definitely a hidden gem in Riverside; I'll be eating here again for sure! read more

Absolutely delicious vegan food! My husband and I love to stop here on our way back to LA from the mountains or desert. We're obsessed!

The jackfruit tacos! Wow! Not only are they Full size, none of that itty bitty taco stuff going on here. They have flavor and you know when the tortilla tastes good by itself it's made with whole ingredients. I had two tacos but one crashed in my belly before I could even have conscious thought to snap a picture....yea you've done it too! Try it and than me later. read more

Oasis Vegetarian Cafe - Jackfruit taco with avocado - Vegetarian Near Me - Riverside, California

Heading back to OC from Lake Arrowhead and found this on Yelp with good reviews. When we saw it we almost didn't stop, it was a walk up order window with just a few tables outside. We went for it, it's part of a market, La Sierra Natural Foods, and there is seating inside! I had the salad in a wrap with veggies, it was delicious, you can see my bite in my pic! Took half home, it was big. Also picked up a few items at the store! read more

My sister-in-law is vegan. So for Father's Day I looked around for vegan options to add to my catering menu. I found Oasis and everyone that helped me was super sweet and helpful. They were nice enough to prepare the chicken burgers deconstructed so that they wouldn't be soggy by the time we got home. The taste? While I didn't try the burgers, I was told they were a 7/10. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get food. I've been here a couple of different times and everything I've gotten Has been ... (chefs kiss ) This time we got sweet photos fried with the vegan cream, vegans chicken sandwich, taquitos, black bean Pupusa, and Hibiscus tea. The fries were fresh and crunchy and it paired well with the vegan cream. My husband got the chicken sandwich and he loved it. He said the patty was crispy and tasty, the veggies complimented it very well. I had a bite and the chicken patty had great flavor. You got to choose two flavors of taquitos so I chose potato and the jack fruit. I loved both! But my favorite was the potato. It was crunchy and it had good flavor. The sauce on top was really good. The black bean pupusa is what I get every time I come here and each time it knocks my socks off. Seriously, it's so bomb! I tried the Hibiscus tea today and wow! I liked it so much I bought another one for the ride home! The people there are super friendly and informative. It's a great place to try some vegan food. read more

This has been my favorite place to eat since i have become vegan (7 years) . Rewards help lots, and everyone is so helpful and nice!!

This place is my JAM Everything is homemade and they use nothing but clean ingredients in all of their dishes. Every time I'm in the I.E I go out of my way to get over here. Try their jackfruit anything or the Oasis burger read more

So I wanted to love this place 4x now .. I've now been 4x and food is delicious, but the amount you get for the price is ridiculous! No one will be full on one meal here except a bird . The quesadilla has like no cheese and mostly just a tortilla with a tiny of everything.. $12 for 4 small pieces ! My bowl which was tiny as can be I got no rice extra lettuce and I was charged extra for lettuce instead of rice ... they raised prices for the inflation I get it , but to raise prices plus skimp on portions makes it all a no thank you again . Flavor is only thing the 3 stars are for the flavors are great ! We paid $30 plus tip to be starving and go elsewhere.. read more

Delicious food. I came here to eat once I got out of the hospital, best choice I could've made. It's Connected to a store with lots of vegetarian and vegan foods so I was able to grab a few healthy snack for work the next week while I waited for my food!! I loved the creme that came with the plantains! What I enjoyed the most was the customer service, location, knowing that they've been in business for n many years and the serving sizes which are very good for the price they charge and the food is so tasty. You can't lose! read more

Menu options are interesting. You can create your own meal or pick a classic. We picked a classic and a side. The portions are a bit small but the flavor makes up for it. Got the Taquitos with two carnitas and two Jackfruit ($1 extra) and the baked wedges. The sauces that came with the meals were great tasting and plentiful. I also had the horchata and it's definitely one of the better tasting horchatas I've had. It was sweet but overpowering either. And it wasn't drowning in almond or oat milk either so you could taste the actual rice. The prices are not astronomical. They're pretty regular prices comparable to other eateries. People are just complaining because you don't get huge portions with the cost. For the price the food is flavorful and cruelty free. Also, it's attached to a grocery store which carries vegetarian and vegan offerings. It was cool to walk around and check it out. There's outside and inside seating. Yes, the inside seating is inside the grocery store. But it's separate and not obtrusive. #SupportLocalVeganBusiness read more

Love the food here so much. By far my favorite vegan spot. I love the taquitos I usually always do half vegan carnitas and half potato. You can never go wrong with their smoothies, my fav has to be the berry mango smoothie. 5 stars all the way read more

A pupusa, corn dog, and a vegan tiramisu was our order. Overall I thought the food was excellent. A sense of homemade touch and flavor is definitely noticeable in the food. Very good food and very well priced. The menu has simple choices. It is located next to the Sierra Natural foods store and it is a cafeteria set up. Go up front, order your food and they have outdoor and an indoor dining area. Excellent customer service as well. read more

i have not visited the cafe, i've only had takeout once. my boyfriend was running errands out here so he had me decide where takeout would be from and, thru yelp, i settled with oasis. we got the taquito plate, pupusas, a tamale, plantains, and tiramisu to go all out on our taste test. the tamale we would pass on as it wasn't as flavorful as we were expecting. the plantains with cream were pretty good. pupusas were also tasty. the taquitos were basic but i can't complain, i just wish there was a spicer salsa. we saved the tiramisu for later. when we finally got to it, it was alright. nothing special, a nice, light dessert. overall, for the price and the flavors, i'm not sure i would come back for more, especially since we are rarely out in the IE... but if you're curious or vegan with no other options, this is a solid choice. it's filling enough for a meal that can also be shared due to their generous portions. read more

I love the vegan options offered here. Tasty and flavorful plant based meals. Some of my favorite menu items are the chorizo and potato burrito, the jackfruit and mushroom tacos, and green smoothie. read more

Oasis is defined as something that provides relief and boy does this vegetarian cafe live up to that franchise tag! I am one of the biggest carnivores if there ever was one, but even I have found to dabble lately in vegan cuisine and honestly they live up to the current near 5 star rating. They make your dining choices not feel like a punishment, but a culinary experience! THAT is what it's all about: create a healthy meal, but no sacrificing taste! Amazing job doing so (feel free to bow and give a pat on the back as I collect myself). With a few visits now under my belt I did deem it appropriate to join the conga line of Oasis-ians as a devoted fan. The staff have been welcoming in person and professional over the phone. For ease of being in and out I'd suggest doing a phone order, but even when we've gone the wait has been slim to none. At $9 for a solo dish or $14.50 for a combo (side and drink) it unfortunately can get a bit pricey, but it isn't any different than dining out somewhere so I feel it's a steal in the end. You can get bowls, burgers, burritos, salads, or tacos as the foundation. The best thing I love is periodically the menu does change around so maybe don't get too hooked on something. You can then pick your choice of meat or protein and from there a punch of vegetables. Finally polish it off with a sauce and call it a day. I myself have levitated towards their burrito and the burger which are highly recommended, but FYI tell your stomach to bring its A game! The portions are overly generous, but the best part is no food coma as a night cap. It's reassuring to feel healthy afterwards and not wanting to sprint towards some "buffet pants". NEVER expected to ever say that about a meal! I have got each with the Oasis Patty as my protein. It does have a healthy taste to it, but thankfully it isn't the pasty fun free taste that vegan food initially came to be recognized for. I won't go as far to say it feels like eating beef, but the flavor is there to where you won't exactly miss the moo. I know I know that sounds SO taboo, but it isn't missed when paired with the vegetables and sauce. I fell in love with their garlic herb mushrooms and haven't gone without ordering these thus far. To me it's a steakhouse equivalent and pairs well with both the burrito and burger. Also a MUST is the Coconut Bacon! It has a hint of sweetness, but still will satisfy that "meat sweat" should it percolate at meal time. As a tip I'd say stick to only one protein though. I made the "mistake" of getting the burger with the organic eggs and it was so much food. Haha. I expected just an egg topping, but they provided a full on omelette style egg practically. Don't get me wrong you taste the freshness and I want to say it had chunks of onion cooked into it which made it amazing. However it's best kept solo if you don't have the mindset to go ham at the time. As for sauce, they really do top the meal off and give it that little further pop of flavor. The avocado ginger is as advertised. Mine was extreme with the ginger taste, but I love ginger so it was definitely a first class trip to flavor town! I need to further explore though, perhaps the red pepper sauce will be next on the hit list? I did want to give justice to the sides as well before ending this. Prior to dining here there was so much negativity around it which baffles me. It's true not much comes with it, but it's PORTIONED. I applaud that because honestly bigger is not better and we need to get away from that mentality before everyone is 500lbs. I wasn't a fan of the sweet fried plantains because it just seemed too dry for my liking and unfortunately not even the vegan cream could save the soured after taste. However the baked potato wedges with the red pepper sauce are a homer! Perfect crisp and surprisingly were flavorful baked vs fried. Is this me? Haha I've made the choice to cut back on a lot of the unhealthy things I love for various reasons, but I treasure places like Oasis for making that transition a smoother one. There is a plethora of reasons why you've been around as long as you have and I'd be a fool not to be around for the journey as well. See you again VERY soon for more culinary brilliance! My tummy humbly thanks you this far and yours will too! read more

Oasis Vegetarian Cafe - Carnitas taquitos - Vegetarian Near Me - Riverside, California

I was out and about grocery shopping and the wife wanted to stop and get some food. She enticed me into going to Oasis vegetarian cafe. Since I've been eating more plant based food, I figured I'd give it a try. I was skeptical because most of the places I've eaten have this "off-putting manufactured" taste to the faux meat. But I wanted to give it a try and...Yo! It was amazing. Let's start with the service: you order outside and have the choice to eat inside or outside. Since it was a bit chilly we opted to sit inside. The cashier was so helpful with my wife's million and one questions. We got the burger combo with the oasis patty. OMG. It was so thick, I felt we could have shared the burger alone but I'm glad we didn't because we were going at it bite for bite. It was meaty, juicy and so flavorful and paired well with the sweet potato fries. I got the jackfruit bowl. I've never had jackfruit and wanted to try. It did not disappoint! It was seasoned very well and paired well with the red pepper sauce, which had a nice spicy kick that definitely elevated the bowl to another level. Now the carnitas tacos, which were made out of seitan, were just ok. But in all fairness I am not a big fan of seitan so I probably wouldn't get those again. However, the wife really enjoyed them. She chose a side of plantains and boy did they fry them up just perfectly. They tasted like how I make them at home. Chef's kiss! Let me not forget the ginger spritz. I love me some ginger and that was a cup of pure ginger gold. I mean it was like a shot of pure energy. I had to get up and walk around the store I was so energized. This will definitely be my "go to" spot for great fresh vegetarian food. read more

Jack stack. The jackfruit was tender so delicious and it was full of flavor. The salsa was a tad spicy rightfully so. Very big parking lot easy to park. Beautiful. Outdoor area was wide spacious and enough for groups. Many options. The tiramisu was perfect not too sweet or sugary or coffee tasting. Chai oat milk was creamy and delicious. Would definitely return with friends. Did not wait long at all staff was super friendly and even walked my drink over to me. I have an issue with deciding what to get on menus I take too long and anyway she was super patient and friendly. read more

Located next to La Sierra University, Oasis Vegetarian Cafe caters to the Adventist healthy lifestyle, this includes no eating meat. Contrary to my own meat based lifestyle, Oasis Vegetarian Cafe is a good break from the meat! The entire menu is vegan based and you're ordering your food from an outside window. They are very helpful but keep in mind they are also a small business so your order takes time to prepare, especially if you're ordering multiple items. For me it's about their hamburgers and their smoothies! The smoothies are excellent and guaranteed to give you a brain freeze! They have nice outdoor seating which is where we tend to sit, and they call your order out so it's a nice waiting place to socialize. If the weather doesn't permit or you prefer, there is indoor seating located at the La Sierra Natural Foods Market, which allows for large groups to sit. It also gives you a chance to shop around for vegetarian food or beverages. Whether you're into the healthy lifestyle or just want a different meal from the norm, I highly recommend checking out Oasis Vegetarian Cafe. read more
