Full flavored food made fresh. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Great food, friendly service.
I was super excited to find this little gem. My baby sister is a vegetarian and her boyfriend is vegan. So as you can guess, it can get a little challenging to find restaurants where the whole family can eat (including our Grandmother who doesn’t necessarily want to eat vegan/vegetarian). The atmosphere is great and the staff is wonderful. The location is rather small which means it can get packed in there really quick. And you have to have patience to wait for your food (which should be expected when eating clean)… that I might add is reasonably priced.
But overall, the food was AMAZiNG and we will definitely be back.

I love the Secret Spot. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but they have a ton of options for whatever your lifestyle may be. I personally am a fan of the HB surround sound burrito with chicken. It hits the spot and I think their salsa is pretty dang good too. You gotta try this spot there is something for everyone!

Good and honest food. The kitchen seems to be cooking all day so this guarantees for fresh food. I am a fan of healthy and vegan food and this place makes me really happy. I could eat here every week, twice. Cheers,

Secret Spot is amazing! My friend and I came to get some food to-go to eat on the beach nearby and we both enjoyed our food so much. This is a small shop but the food is so worth it. My friend is pescatarian and this place was perfect – there are so many vegetarian and vegan options but also some meat options. Everything is good!
My friend ordered the Super Green juice. I had a sip of it and it was delicious. The juices are not ridiculously expensive and also a good portion. I would definitely consider ordering a juice for myself next time I visit (I would for sure come again).
We also ordered the Grilled Tuna Melt Wrap and a Mango Wrap (with Tofu) and split them. Both of them tasted incredible in their spinach wraps and came with tortilla chips and salsa. The tortilla chips were really crispy and fresh while the salsa was really refreshing and tasted like it was made in-house (not from a can/jar). The tuna melt wrap is super cheesy and had a ton of mushrooms and onions in it. It is warm, satisfying, and such great comfort food. I will say it is a tiny bit greasy and messy to eat from the cheese but worth it! The tofu mango wrap was incredible as well. The grilled mango went so well with the fresh veggies in the wrap. We picked tofu as our protein (it was a great choice!) and the taco sauce in there (I’m not sure exactly what it is) was BOMB.
In short, I would 100% come back and was so satisfied with all the food we ordered there. So many other dishes and drinks I want to try as well! Secret Spot is definitely worth a visit.

Came here post-yoga class with a friend and I hope to return one day! The menu is very vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian friendly which I always appreciate. There is very little seating available (only 2-3 tables) so be prepared to eat at a table outside or wait for a seat to open up. We got lucky when a party of two on the inside was just leaving when we got there. Folks behind the counter were wonderful, and ready to answer any questions I had about their menu.
I ordered their shrimp tacos which were very filling. I only managed to eat one taco because it was so substantial. The tacos had a kick to them, and the price was reasonable for what you get. There are so many options on the menu that I’d be happy to return and explore what else they have to offer!

BREAKFAST BURRITOOOOOSSS. This place is great, so much variety on breakfast/ lunch foods. I got the vegan rizo burrito, it had a lot of tofu, a lot of avocado, A LOT of potato; it was just a large breakfast burrito LOL. I liked how they put the salsa on the side so the burrito wouldn’t get soggy and wouldn’t be as messy, I just wish they gave more of it. It also came with a side of chips! I had some doubts cause it was vegan, but it was suuuuper good.
Parking: unless there was a separate parking lot I didn’t know about, there was no parking in front of the place. Seating: the place is really small, only 3 small tables inside and around 5-6 small tables outside. Service: it took 30 mins for my food to come out, given I came around 1:30 so the end of lunch rush on a Saturday. Workers: really nice!!!TIP: come on a mon, tues, wed, or Sunday after 3pm!!! Their deals are so worth omg.

I liked that it was vegan and the service was very friendly. Be prepared to WAIT!!!!! The line is long on the weekend and the food takes A LONG time, at least on the weekends. They do post a sign saying everything is made fresh as a disclaimer and they are not kidding!
We had yuka and sweet potato fries and a vegan burrito. It was pretty good… sort of a greasy spoon type of vibe so be prepared for that as well. Vegan does not mean healthy! Coffee was delicious! Nice and strong the way I like it!
Overall, I would come back here if I was in the area, particularly since I am vegan and options are always a little limited for me.

After a 5+ mile bike ride along the Pacific Coast Hwy, I needed something to eat!
Googled real quick, checked the menu, glanced at the rating on Yelp, and ended up at the Secret Spot!
On the chalk board, it had a Jamaican Burrito that included Jerk….which immediately caught my eyes. I inquired with the host and opted to indulge.
I chose chicken as my meat( veggie beef and veggie turkey are available), and added some good o’ avocado on the side.I also ordered an ABC drink. Apples, beet, and carrots to wash it all down.
We took a seat outside and within minutes the juice came out. Quenched my thirst but I should’ve added lemon and ginger for that zing I love so much. Anyway, few minutes after that, the meal came out. It was paired with some veggie nachos and some sauce.
I ate that up real quick lol and bit into my burrito. Was pretty good. Contents included plaintains, “Jerk” chicken, raw onions, pineapples, rice and peas, which I told them easy on. Oh, it’s also a spinach wrap!
Overall it was pretty filling. The sweet taste of plantains and pineapples made me forget abt the jerk I was expecting but didn’t quite get. All good….. I was satisfied and even saved a lil bit for my 5mi ride back.

I LOVE The Secret Spot. My family has been coming here for years.
To see a small business commit to serving tasty, vegan options warms my heart not to mention fills my tummy.
I love the tacos and the kids LOVE the pancakes. If you haven’t been to The Secret Spot you’ve got to go. If you haven’t tried some of their vegan options you’re in for a treat.
Thank you Secret Spot for supporting the community I live for! We’ll keep supporting you
