I've been coming here since 2022, and as someone who's been vegan for over 10 years, this place really is such a gem to have nearby. I've tried a good portion of the menu, and some of my favorites are the Bam Bam Burger, Jughead Burger, carne asada bowl, and the monster chili dog. The fries are always so good, and the cold mac salad is a must The portions are generous and I almost always have leftovers, which I love. Even my non-vegan husband enjoys coming here, and we've recommended it to friends who have also really liked it Service has always been great, food usually comes out quickly, and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful The space itself has such an eclectic, laid-back vibe with tons of art and character, it's just a fun place to be Sometimes the sauce levels can be a little on the heavier side depending on the day, but the flavors are always really good The hibiscus lemonade is really refreshing, I'd just personally enjoy it even more with ice It's clear everything here comes from a lot of creativity and passion, and I really appreciate the care that goes into a menu that's entirely his own! read more

My wife and I stopped by Eris in Oceanside on 3/14 and absolutely loved it. The place is small but full of character -- local artists' work on the walls, pop culture decorations, and a really welcoming, community-forward vibe. The owner took our order and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and informative. He described all of the dishes and you can tell he genuinely loves his resturant and what he's doing there. At one point he mentioned that he's proud of the portions because he thinks a lot of vegan resturants tend to skimp a little. He was absolutely right to be proud. I had the French Dip and it was honestly one of the best sandwiches I've had. The stek was sliced thin and really tasty, the cheze in the sandwich was perfectly gooey (which is rare for plant based cheze), and the aujus was the real star. I've honestly had nothing like it before. It was also a really hearty portion and super filling. My wife had the Jambi sandwich -- a hash brown wafflle with fried chikun, sunflower swiss, seitan bakon between two pieces of french toast -- plus chili fries on the side. The sandwich itself was impressively big and definitely lived up to the owner's point about portions. We've both been vegan for about 10 years and always appreciate finding places doing creative food like this. We live about an hour and a half away, but we're already figuring out when we can make the trek back for another visit. read more

My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. We arrived to the restaurant, it seemed busy so we went ahead and placed an order on Slice app. We waited about 30 mins then went inside to check on our food. The guy did explain that there was a large order ahead of us, so we waited and waited for an hour and a half to only receive our cold diner. Maybe there were issues with staff but the way the person upfront handled everything was not okay whatsoever. After that hour and a half, we checked in and saw him chatting on the floor, did not acknowledge us what so ever. Then, he finally let us know that our food was on the side the whole time. I immediately felt the cold pizza box. This was just very unprofessional and really disappointing. Do better please. And maybe don't accept online orders if that's an option? Could've easily avoided this bad experience and gone somewhere else if you guys closed for online orders. read more

A vegan restaurant with a five star rating had me curious, so I knew I couldn't pass through Oceanside without checking out Eris. Walked in and Scott, who turned out to be the owner, greeted me right away. He was having one of those genuinely warm conversations with a local customer that immediately told me what kind of place this was. Small town feel, nostalgic vibe, board games on the shelves, the whole thing. I let Scott know I was just passing through and asked what he'd recommend. He said the Bam Bam Burger without hesitation. He was right. That burger is the GOAT. Massive, well seasoned, and you could taste the love that went into it. Eris has absolutely earned that five star rating. Already counting down to my next trip through Oceanside to try more of the menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Eris Food - Bam-Bam Burger - Vegan Near Me - Oceanside, California

We'd heard this place was a must-try and somehow it still exceeded every expectation. I had the taco trio and my husband ordered the chicken bacon sandwich - both were absolutely unreal and very reasonably priced. Hands down the most incredible vegan food we've ever had - and genuinely some of the best food we've had, vegan or not. The staff was super friendly and the vibe of the restaurant was really cool, too. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish, and we're already talking about what we want to try next time. We will definitely be back! read more

Eris Food - Triple Taco Combo and CHIKUN BAKON RANCH SANDO - Vegan Near Me - Oceanside, California

I'm afraid I have to reduce a star based on my second visit. I've craved the sweet potato tacos since my first visit but this trip they were seeping in oil. I tried hard to keep eating them but I just couldn't. My first experience having the tacos was nothing like this. I'll stick to the Havana bowl from now on. Or request no oil (if possible???) if I think about ordering the sweet potato tacos again. I did feel undervalued when I shared why I didn't want a togo box for my remaining taco...I stated it was too much oil, and the reply I got from the owner was, "my food isn't healthy." with a bit of unpleasant and snippy tone. I wasn't trying to be rude, but sincere in my personal experience with the dish... I know not everyone's palate is the same. I'm sorry he might not have liked my feedback, but the response and tone was not well received. Hopefully future visits will + another read more

This place is a gem! Scott the owner was so welcoming and helped us choose from the delicious variety of items his place has to offer. Aside from the variety the food is so well plated, with magnificent aromas, and most of all insane delectable flavors!!! I had the Chickn Parm and may I say that the portions were huge!!!! Scott said that vegan food is already expensive, it sucks when you pay that much and you're still hungry. So he makes everything from scratch and gives big portions! So I was full and had some left for the next day. You will not be disappointed! read more

Eris food is worth the trip to Oceanside on its own. A vegan restaurant with a wide variety of choices and a variety of styles. I have brought a friend with Alpha gal disease, and he said it was the first time he felt he could eat carne asada in over a decade, I've brought vegan friends who have said its one of the best vegan places they've been to in years. I have brought vegetable eschewing carnivores who didn't even realize the place was vegetarian. The ambiance of the place is pure California with a funky decor and a lovely outdoor area. In addition, Scott, the man who runs the place is friendly, talkative and makes you feel at home. I strongly recommend a visit. read more

Tarzan made it a 10x experience from an already 10x experience. There are so many incredible options to choose from on this menu. I think we did a pretty damn good job though. The Not Chickn Gyro, Brutus Pizza, & the Triple Taco Platter was absolutely stellar. Along with the entrees, their vanilla bean ice cream, peach cobbler, chocolate cake, & root beer float were so tasty. Each dish had such unique flavor that made it stand out above almost any other restaurant that makes comfort food like this. I personally believe from a creative aspect, overall flavor & presentation (even the price) that the Chickn Gyro was the most incredible item on the menu! I can't wait to go back & order more of the Tacos. They make everything from scratch, including their cheeses & most impressively their Seitan; FROM SCRATCH! I don't even like Seitan, until now. Their sodas are tasty delicious & worth a try. The root beer & ginger soda was our favorite. Plenty of parking around the block & the service (provided by Tarzan) was some of the best service I've EVER experienced at any restaurant I've ever been too (this includes fine dining, cafes, diners, etcetera). Thank you Team Eris (look up the Greek Goddess Eris). Grateful for your space & delicious comfort food. read more

We are not vegan, but we do like to eat healthy. It's probably the best vegan food we've ever had. I have absolutely loved a carne asada bowl. I've had the Havana Bowl which was alto excellent. Everything needs need trash and from scratch. Service and atmosphere was great. We love finding unique places with unique meals. We would definitely come back here if we're in the area again. read more

Being an aspiring vegan in the city of Oceanside is rather difficult, due to the lack of dining options. So I was excited when I found out about this hole in the wall called Eris food Co.

Wow wow wow!! First and foremost I want to say a huge thank you to the owner, Scott. He went above and beyond to accommodate me. My fiancé thankfully doesn't have any allergies but unfortunately I do. Scott DOES have soy free options, but the oil for cooking does contain soy. I want to point this out for anyone else who like me has a legit soy allergy! That being said, Scott thanked me for bringing that to his attention when I asked about the oil and he said, "don't worry! We will make it work!" He ended up making me such a delicious and fresh bowl! It contained yams, avocado, rice and beans!! And he made a special sauce for it and handled everything in the kitchen for me to make sure it was safe and had no contact with soy! It was soooo good! I couldn't finish it all but he provided a box for me so I could take the rest back to our hotel! When I asked if I could pay for more yams, he said "you won't be paying! It's my gift to you!" Scott is what every business owner should be: kind, caring and dedicated. You can tell he takes pride in his business! From the moment we walked in we were welcomed with open arms. He politely introduced himself, asked our names and told us about his restaurant. He made us feel welcomed. Truly. He also didn't make me feel annoying for asking about allergens!! The fact he went above and beyond spoke volumes. He also said whenever we're back in town to call ahead of time and he'd personally get a safe oil for me. How sweet is that?!! Last but not least, I do want to say my fiancé tried both the Ruben sandwich and the chicken Parmesan. He loved both!! Thank you again, Scott. We wish you were located in LA... but when we visit again we'll definitely stop by! Other notes: - The ambiance is so nice. Very chill, stylish and homey - The bathroom is extremely clean - The seating is comfortable - There's artwork available to purchase! read more

Eris Food - "Chicken" parm with spaghetti and toast - Vegan Near Me - Oceanside, California

Super flavorful vegan food resteraunt with cute outdoor patio seating and a wide variety of menu options. Just moved to the area and wanted to find a place my family could eat at (they're vegetarian, but i'm not) and discovered this gem! Owner was friendly and attentive. Food was mind blowingly good (so many options for french fry finishings, that alone would keep me coming back). I ordered the Chickun Bakon Ranch with animal style fries and everything was perfectly crispy. Bakon was delicious and the whole thing piled high with sauce and fried onions. Portion sizes were extremely generous as well and lots of left overs to take home. Will definitely be coming back even with out my family! read more

Scott is was very hospitable! Gosh, this food and service was so damn good! I took a non-vegan here that mostly eats southern food and they loved it! I was glad that this was very close to our hotel. It has a hole in the wall build, and might not be super obvious to others on what it is, but it is a great find! The food was excellent and I think this kitchen is doing really well by not trying to be like every other vegan restaurant in this space. The food is unique and the portion size is very good!!! Actually, love that they give great portion sizes along with great flavor and great service! I have been vegan for 10 years and is has been truly hard to find a vegan chicken parm that is this excellent! I wish I can find a way to bring all of this to Texas! I'm excited for the future of this business and hope it thrives and as well! Even if you're not vegan, I encourage you to go in and give it a try. Thank you so much! read more

I started going to Eris Food almost two years now. My favorite was the lil Brutus pizza. It use to be loaded with toppings and sauce and cheese. Then about 6 months ago or so I ordered my favorite pizza and was very disappointed. There was very little toppings anymore and the pizza dough was mostly sauce. Then I noticed changes in the taste of the other dishes. Another of my go to's was the meatloaf and fries. Again it used to be a great dish then it fell off as well. The sauces all started tasting the same tomato base that were in most of the recipes. So recently I gave it another shot and tried the French dip. Unfortunately the seitan was over cooked and the bacon was salty and hard. The buns were burnt and the fries were too salty. Not sure what has happened over the past year but unfortunately the quality has dropped significantly. read more

What a gem! After a fun-filled day at Legoland, we decided to end the evening here, indulging ourselves! The portions were very generous and everything was presented beautifully! I love that they make their own cheese and faux meat substitutes. After our meal, I felt energized without feeling too heavy or full. I contribute that feeling to the food being made much healthier! The burger and pizza really hit the spot, and my kid loved his quesadilla. Our non-vegan friend devoured his gyro and forgot he was even at a vegan restaurant. He actually said, "I would offer you some but you don't eat meat." Bruh - really?! Glad he enjoyed it that much! Aside from the food, service was ok, as we did have to ask for our table inside to be cleaned - but it was done promptly; albeit, this was after deciding to move from outside to inside as it was windy and all the tables seemed to need a good wipe down. The outside area has a lot of potential to be something spectacular! The overall decor was a bit mismatched, but unique nonetheless! Parking is on the street, but we were able to find a spot, along the street to the side of restaurant. Moving from Cali to Las Vegas really allows you to appreciate parking lots dedicated to businesses with ample parking - because it's really not a thing in Cali. I am so glad I got to support this all vegan establishment! read more

Loved the food and the service was excellent! I had the Cuban bowl and lemonade. Both delicious!

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

The person taking my order was very nice, which I appreciated. The food portion size was good. I ordered the hamburger special that was being offered, but unfortunately the patty needed more salt and had a strange smell.

Overall, the service was pleasant, but the food quality didn't meet my expectations The place looked cool in the inside read more

Eris is located in Oceanside, Scott the owner is very nice and explained Eris is the Greek avatar of destruction. This is an all vegan restaurant. He is very good with details, as I was looking over the menu he asked if I had any allergies. He suggested the lasagne; if I remember correctly it was one of the jumbo meals and at that moment was too big. He also recommended the "fish" tacos with heart of palm. Everything here he makes from scratch. I decided to sit outside as it was such a lovely day and they have a small patio outback. My three tacos with heart of palm arrived; they had a lovely presentation and I could not wait to make them disappear. As I devoured them, like a lady of course, the flavors were delicious and the textures were appreciated. I will definitely be back when in the area. Next time I have my eyes on the carne asada bowl. read more

Had a great experience at Eris Vegan Food today. The owner was welcoming and recommended a few of the favorite menu items as soon as we entered. My wife and I order the Reuben sandwich and Philly Cheesesteak, and quesadilla for the kids. Protein was made with seitan and house made. The food was made to order and served hot! Everything we tried was delicious and loaded with flavor. I was also impressed with how kid friendly this place was. There was a shelf with children's books and a shaded sandbox in the outdoor seating area, suitable for little ones to enjoy while you wait for your food (or if they aren't interested in eating at all). Nice eighties music playing outside too. Will definitely be visiting this restaurant again and look forward to trying more of their food! read more

Okay, my husband and I occasionally do vegan diet. We wanted to try a new spot, so we came here. It is expensive very expensive $100 drinks and meals for my husband and I and it was just lunch. The owner is really nice but he will sell to you in a nice manner. The ambaince is hippy, picnic, outdoorsy. Nothing blew my mind unfortunately, and if I came back I'd just be coming for my vegan friends to show them a new restaurant. Still I like to support small business, and the owner was really kind and had tons of passion besides his food. read more

Great vegan food and a charming location. I'm actually a vegetarian and sometimes when I eat vegan I miss real cheese, but at Eris everything was so good I didn't miss it at all. Just absolutely great food and really friendly, laid-back service. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

From the moment you step into Eris you feel welcome. Scott, the owner, is right there to greet you with a smile, provide recommendations, and just chat when he has the time. The space he's curated feels very intentional and is a breath of fresh air in a time where it feels like there's a lack of third spaces. It's a place where you can just grab a drink or a meal and sit down and relax. The menu has a lot to choose from and everything sounds and looks amazing! I've been a vegetarian my entire life and outside of Asian cuisine it's hard to find good, FLAVORFUL, vegetarian food. Eris knocks it out of the park with both concept and execution. I felt like I was being served a home-cooked meal by someone who doesn't just care about what the plate looks like, but what the food tastes like. We ordered the "Chicken" Parm Plate (a special that day), the Santo Chorizo Burger, and a lavender hibiscus lemonade mix. The drink was out immediately and was refreshingly exactly what the name promised. The food came out shortly after and the hunger soon followed. Yes, the food is a bit pricey (eating out in general is these days), but the generous portions more than make up for it. Your eyes will be writing a check your stomach can't cash and you will likely have leftovers (I know we did). The "chicken" was my favorite part of the meal, but I would easily recommend either. Any time I'm in the area I will absolutely be stopping by. Please support awesome local vegan/vegetarian spots! read more
