50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Oceanside

“Vegan comfort food so good you'll tell everyone you know about it. My wife and I had meatloaf sandos because we haven't either of us had meatloaf in decades and we both liked it when we did eat meat. Scott's (hey Scott) meatloaf isn't like your traditional meatloaf with granules of ground beef. Instead, it is more the texture of a fine dice of beef, and man, it is mind-blowing good! I hear the Reuben will make you want to move to Oceanside. I'd love to see what this place could do with a tuna melt. The fries are superior and, well, they nailed it. Love the 60s/70s counter-culture vibe and, of course, the surf undertone (it's blocks from the waves). The service is what you would hope for and holds a soupcon of joy behind it. Scott is personable and you can see his heart is in the food and the restaurant. Finally...calling all meat eaters! This place is the place for you. I used to eat meat. I too know the dissatisfaction vegan food can bring. In short, I am not unsympathetic. You won't be dissatisfied here. I wouldn't be surprised if you returned and brought other people. I've tried all the meat substitutes and this isn't like that. They got hold of something here and it's really good.“

“Delicious, comfortable spot.“

“We got so much food. The food came out hot and fast. Love the Indonesian and Asian fusion flavor palette you don’t find this a lot in the area. Everything was really good. Lots of flavor and definitely want to try their other dishes.“

“The food here is reminiscent of the flavors of the Thai food restaurants in Thai Town of LA. That’s a very good thing. Meaning that the food is cooked more Thai style, not Chinese style. Love it.�“

“Ordered delivery on a Friday night. Excellent won ton soup, not ordinary but very nicely done and would describe as wor won ton soup with lots of veggies, shrimp, chicken, bbq pork. Loved it. Also ordered the Mongolian beef and the flavor was excellent but the spice level was too high. Next time I will ask for not too hot. I like spicy but this was just too intense. I will be back, the food quality is excellent. Just minus one star for too much heat in the Mongolian beef.“

“Handel’s is hands-down the best ice cream around! Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor, I never knew ice cream could taste so good. Huge portions, amazing variety, and friendly service make it a must-visit every time I’m in the area. The only place where brain freeze is totally worth it.” 🧊“

“The food is so good, fresh and delicious typically Indian food.“

“Mia helped me out today! She gave great service. Smile, patient, accurate, and set the bar for my experience here. Took the order like a champ and accommodated me while I needed to wash my hands. She put my drinks and ticket to the side. When I returned she was helping someone else, but recognized me and passed me over the cups and reciept and sent me off with a smile. Great experience of serving with a smile.“

“NiNi was our server…she and the kitchen crew were exceptional! Nini was kind, happy, efficient and attentive. GREAT service and also…tasty food. Air conditioning wasn’t working but we still enjoyed the food and service! We had an excellent dinner. Thanks!!“

“Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.

Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.“

“Great food and great service...an outstanding spot for breakfast! Although we live 2,000+ miles away, we hope to be back someday. Almost forgot...great name as well.“

“Great customer service that went above and beyond. Taking inspiration from a video and creating something 💯 better this team helped to make a memorable weekend for a great group of people. Working through emails we were able to coordinate the exact design as well as someone to pick up and deliver the cake. Thank you! The cake was better than I imagined!“

“My first time here today! Came downtown Oside for the 41st Annual Oceanside Longboard Surf Contest today by the pier and needed a good quality brewed house coffee to walk around with this morning. I only want half n half in it, nothing fancy or any extra flavors or sugars. Camp Coffee made a great cup of quality
brewed coffee for me to go! Perfect strength and flavor! I came back after a few hours and had a second cup for the afternoon! It was delicious! Very cozy environment indoors and an.outdoor patio too! I will definitely be returning for morning coffee! ☕“

“As you all should know, this beach is mine and my family's. My husband actually grew up in Oceanside, just across the tracks from Buccaneer Beach. It's fabulous food, fabulous people and The lifeguards were great on point as always!The waves were huge for the first time in my life, so I decided to skip it today.It was that much and I was born essentially at the beach but everything is just so beautiful and so spiritual and my husband when he passed away I put his ashes at buccaneer“

“Wow! This is exceptional Thai food. The flavors are layered to the point you taste each one.“

“Absolutely delicious food, excellent drinks, friendly and attentive staff, and room to spread inside or out. We chose out and the kids had a blast playing with big fun toys and staying out of other diners’ space. Totally recommend for those interested in delicious food from Guam, anyone looking to avoid gluten or dairy, or just a tasty relaxed experience!“

“Always friendly and welcoming 🥰“

“Amazing food and service. They really care about both the experience and their customers. Definitely a place to come with an open mind and a serious palate for food as this is some of the most complex foods I’ve tried in a while. Loved it.“

“Teriyaki Chicken and Tempura Vegetables“

“If you are looking for authentic, fresh street tacos, Los Tacos is an absolute must-visit!
What immediately sets them apart is their handmade tortillas—you can taste the quality and fresh texture in every single bite. Every item is cooked to order, so everything arrives hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff works like a well-oiled machine; everyone is actively working, keeping service fast and the dining area spotless with clean tables ready to go.
Their salsa bar is another huge highlight, packed with so many options that you can customize every taco to your exact liking. Plus, you can't beat their $2 Taco Tuesday deal for this level of quality. Incredible food, great value, and top-tier service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing fresh and taste so good“

“relaxing atmosphere, friendly service“

“Went in the for the 4th time in the last 2 weeks. I love the Pad Krapow. It is awesome. THE Tom Ka and spicy fried rice is great too. The only thing better is the service.

Jenny and Pat are magnificent. Jenny's English was awesome. Wayyy better than my Thai. Lol She taught me a couple words and phrases in Thai. Also she and Pat was attentive and accommodating. That's probably the reason why Ive been back so many times. :)“

“Amazing food! Biggest Calzone ever and so reasonably priced and delicious!“

“Good Bagels. Didn’t care for the microwave breakfast bagel. �“

“Excellent authentic Italian food. The arancini was crisp on the outside with a very thin layer of rice and was oozing with filling of cheese and spinach a the carbonara was perfection with no cream and the creaminess of egg yolks and pasta water. We have spent time in Italy and are planning to move to Italy in months and this was Italy. Perfection!“

“Oh this place is amazing!🥰I met this staff member named mary and she is lovely!😊 She goes into detail and gives me advice on what to get based on the menu. She knows her stuff when it comes to this job. Mary is a great person and staff member overall, she gets a 5 star rating as well. The smoothies are amazing and the PB&J chia pudding is oh so amazing!🥰love this location far more than other nekters I’ve been to!!🙏“
