Small but good

Tiny place next to the road that offers a nice selection of tasty plant-based dishes. Uses tofu, tempeh, jackfruit and mushrooms to replace meat.

Excellent Food

We stopped here while we were passing through on a road trip, and got the nachos, the Mexicali bowl, the house burger, and the shipwreck smoothie. Everything was delicious!! Definitely the best jackfruit “meat” we have ever had. And the cashew nacho cheese was particularly good, too. The entire menu is plant-based/vegan. I highly recommend this place😄

Pros: Amazing food, Friendly staff , Cute little seating area outside

Clean vegan grub

The food is incredible and the staff are super nice! We enjoyed the burrito and the nachos, but we plan to go back and try the burger. What a nice little find in that area. Parking can be found across the street or down the side streets if there is nothing available right in front.

Great food, amazing staff, good vibes

El Capitán pulled "Porc" sandwich and shoreline burrito were both quite delicious! Chips, avocado pico de gallo salsa and habanero & pineapple sauce were all on point as well!
Great menu, staff and drink options!
Highly, highly recommend!

Of note: slight fee for credit card pay (I think it was 3.5%).

Friendly Owners and Good Food

I am writing this review a couple of days after I went there for the first time.

I got the shoreline burrito but there was so much filling that they could not actually put it in a tortilla without the tortilla breaking. So they placed the filling on a tortilla in a to go container with chips all the way around bordering it. Very interesting presentation. This lasted me for three meals! Lots of flavors with every bite! I simply forgot to take a photo of it!

I also got the burger that they put on a baguette because I asked for gluten-free. The produce was as fresh as can be and the flavors just exploded into my mouth! So tasty.

I also got their Berry Bliss smoothie and it was SO delicious.

I work for HappyCow so I gave them an excellent review window decal which they will put on after they take their old one off the window (see photo). They were very gracious and friendly hosts and it was a joy speaking to both of them.

Fresh Ingredients

Super cute place with limited outdoor seating. Burrito and gyro were both very good. Selection of drinks, drip coffee, some packaged goods, and treats also available. It’s a must stop if you find yourself in the area.

Pros: Ambience, outdoor seating, Gyro!, Fresh ingredients

Amazing nachos and friendly staff

The woman who runs the restaurant was very nice and described all the menu items to us. The nachos were so good - the jackfruit carnitas are slow roasted and the queso and other toppings are perfect. We also got the shoreline burrito but would love to have tried everything on the menu!

Tasty food. Highly recommend

We visited today. Hubby and I shared the burrito and the garlic bread. It was so tasty. Food was piping hot and freshly made. The menu is quite small but there are at least 4 more things I want to try. I love coming to Oxnard, but previous vegan eating attempts have been pretty poor. So we can’t wait to come back and try more dishes

Pros: Outdoor seating, Fully vegan, Great prices

Cons: None we could see

The best little spot

I loved this place. It’s a family operation with great choices. It’s a small menu that still has something for everyone!

I never get to have delicious queso, and the nachos were great😄highly recommend.

Excellent burger

The burger was really delicious, and I'm looking forward to trying other items next chance I get 🙏🏻

Went a 2nd time and it was still excellent! They were busy and it was a bit slow, but it was worth the wait. One of my favorite vegan burgers anywhere

Friendly Fully Vegan

Hands down, The Best Vegan burger I have ever eaten! The condiments were superb! Everything is prepared fresh. Small kitchen but well worth the wait if there are orders ahead. Owners are friendly and helpful! I travelled from out of town so I needed a restroom. Easy to find one nearby on the kiddie beach. Parking was easy once I found the place. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place and I'll be back! ❤️❤️

Pros: Fully Vegan, Everything is fresh, Small Cafe' and very friendly

Mediocre flavors

Ordered to-go …the cesar did not have any dressing on it. The shoreline burrito was very dry and had no flavors or sauce in it. Extremely overpriced imo

Super friendly owner that makes outstanding vegan food

Had the north jetty bagel and it was the tastiest bagel I've ever had. Perfect balance of sweet and savory. Talking to the owner was a bonus because she is soooo nice and knowledgeable about the area if you are not a local. 2 booths outside for seating and no bathroom.

Pros: Everything is vegan , Amazing food, Owner is wonderful

Cons: No bathroom

Great little spot

Lovely staff here - chatty and friendly. We had the breakfast burritos, apparently the most popular item on the menu and I can see why. Tasty and filling. The only seating was outside, which is probably fine most of the time, but it was raining when we visited so we had to eat in the car - just something to keep in mind if it’s raining on your visit. #Veganuary

Pros: Lovely staff, Nice food

Cons: No seating inside

We went to La Janelle during the holidays. There was a good selection of choices. We had the nachos and the bowl. Both were excellent. Excellent addition to Silver Strand. #Veganuary

Tiny little place with a very friendly owner who went out of her way to accomodate my dislike of cilantro. I ordered the Shoreline Burrito and couldn't have been happier with my choice. It was so good! Very filling too

Pros: Delicious!, Friendly , Accomodating

Cons: Not necessarily a con but no indoor seating
