Tuesday is Vegan Night! - Edit
I stopped by for the first time on a Tuesday night. As I was checking out the specials, I noticed that Tuesday is vegan night! With tax, it's $6 for any vegan item! Not that this place is expensive; the max price is around $10, but I was so surprised and elated to find a night dedicated to vegans. So much better than Taco Tuesday!
The staff was chill and friendly. The food was great. After much deliberation (the menu is extensive and almost anything can be made vegan), I ordered the Fall Special Burrito to go. It was still piping hot after the 25 minute drive home. So filling and good! I thought it was the perfect size, too: not so big that you're in a food coma after, but definitely enough to fill you up.
I cannot wait to go back and try all of their other items. If you're looking for a cheap, healthy, and satisfying meal in the form of a comforting burrito*, this is the place to go!
*They have sandwiches, salads, wraps, tacos, bowls, and breakfast items (served all day), but I feel like this place is known for their burritos.
Pros: Cheap, Delicious, Great Vibes
Cons: They run out of various items often, Small/limited seating

great little place! - Edit
Great eatery for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores! They had really yummy and interesting cookies! They have really great juices and smoothies and really good burritos and wraps. My sister is vegetarian and my Dad is an omnivore, and we all easily found something to eat! The wait wasn't terrible, and it was sooo worth it!
Pros: incredible food , short wait, reasonably priced
Cons: not a great location

Secret Spot is in my Dreams - Edit
I try to make the 5 mile bike ride up to Bolsa Chica as often as possible to eat the Vegan Soyrizo breakfast burrito. Literally just thinking about it makes my mouth water OH MY! I take my non vegan friends and they leave raving about it too! The staff is incredible! They are super passionate about their food and I even got a free cookie once from the owner ;) I'll proudly say Secret Spot is my favorite spot!!
Pros: BEST FOOD EVER, Incredible staff, Good prices!
Cons: Not much seating

a good post Surfing / Kayaking destination - Edit
After my sister and niece and I finished kayaking, we hopped on over to this yelp recommendation. Originally a juice bar for many years, the current owner purchased it and made it a small restaurant. Too small actually, because it's so well frequented by it's clientele, we had to wait in line outside the door. But we were fortunate to snag a table.
My sis got the Grilled Cheese Sandwich which had Perfect Toast, great chips, very smooth cheese. My niece loved her Shrimp Tacos saying they were a good combination of flavors. I got the HB Surround Sound Burrito with grilled tofu– good BBQ Sauce, but becomes overwhelming by the end of the burrito and the Ginger Lemonade which was on special with a little too much ginger.
There's cool paintings, sketches, and photography for sell on the walls ranging from $20 to $100 with an overall surfer theme.
Veg out,

most excellent! - Edit
Went for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Had a veganrizo burrrito and loved it. Its rare that I find a place where I don't feel as though I could make the meal better myself. The staff and service were also great. I highly recommend this place!
Pros: good value, good size portions, excellent selection
Cons: none

Lots of Vegan Options - Edit
The Secret Spot has lots of vegan options for a non-veg location. In fact I would say most items are vegetarian or vegan (It would have been nice if the items were more clearly marked rather than having to read through all the descriptions of their extensive menu. But it seems that most items can be veganized with a simple request to their friendly staff). I got the Veganrizo Breakfast Burrito and it was good. My bf got teriyaki tacos which were also good. The food tasted fresh, and it had a homecooked feel to it. They have a large juice and smoothie menu with soy milk options. They have vegenaise but no vegan cheese. They have hummus, salads, bowls, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, tacos. I only mention all of this because they have no website. They also had cramped seating arrangements (I went on a Saturday, perhaps during the week it's easier to get a table). You can expect it to take up to 20 minutes for your food as it did ours, however they are making the food fresh so it is understandable and kind of fits the laid back beach atmosphere of the place. The workers are friendly, and the prices are fairly inexpensive(7.50 for breakfast burrito w/chips and salsa). Though I would not drive out of my way to go here again, they have great vegan options for people who are local to the area, or tourists. It is an easy walking distance to the beach from here as well. Secret Spot is not easy to see from the street, but once you turn into the gas station lot you will see it along the side of the shopping center. Check it out next time you're in Huntington.
Pros: fresh and fairly inexpensive food, lots of variety for non-veg restaurant, friendly service
Cons: cramped interior

The Best - Edit
Though not completely vegetarian, you would be hard pressed to find better healthy food anywhere in the area. And if you want vegetarian or vegan, they have it. Excellent staff, and most importantly food. Really nothing better...

Good food, knowledgable staff! - Edit
Headed out to HB for a veg meetup and this place didn't disappoint. The staff was really helpful about telling us what's popular & what's veg. I had a breakfast burrito (yay! another place that serves vegan breakfast all day!!) with tofu & potatos & salsa & all kinds of yummy goodness. My husband tried a lemon-flavored unturkey burrito, he really enjoyed the flavors. Each dish comes w/a small side of chips & really good salsa- lots of flavor and just enough heat.
They also have vegan cookies for $1 each, everyone in our party just had to have one and we almost had a race to snag the very last one in the basket. ;) They have vegan-friendly smoothies that are yummy. The cheese is not vegan, but they reccomend subbing hummus instead.
Pros: Knowledgeable staff, Breakfast all day!, Lots of healthy smoothies
Cons: Small space, Not much parking

freaking great! - Edit
the secret spot rocks, yeah its not 100% vegetarian/vegan but it kicks ass. They make almost every dish vegetarian. The review before was right, their smoothies are great. They use all fresh ingredients and make things on the spot. After eating here you will be full for a long time. They also have specials throughout the week. Its a place you definitely should try at least once.....and my guess is, once you do you'll go back many many times.
Pros: great food, great people, great atmosphere
Cons: small dining area inside
