Our Story
From the Islands to the Desert
A small local poke business bringing authentic Hawaiian flavors to the Coachella Valley, one farmers market at a time.
How It Started
A Passion for Poke
Secret Poke was born from a love of Hawaiian cuisine and a desire to share something truly fresh with the Coachella Valley community. What started as a small idea quickly grew into a beloved farmers market staple — known for bold flavors, quality ingredients, and that unmistakable island vibe.
Every bowl we serve is a reflection of that original passion: simple, fresh, and made with care. We don't do frozen fish. We don't do pre-made batches. We show up early, prep everything by hand, and build each order right in front of you.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Quality First
We hand-select the freshest fish and ingredients every single day. No shortcuts, no compromises.
Fresh & Simple
Our poke is built on simple, clean ingredients that let the natural flavors shine through.
Community Rooted
Born at farmers markets, made for the community. We love connecting with our neighbors.
Island Spirit
Aloha isn't just a word — it's how we treat every customer and craft every bowl.
From Kitchen to Bowl
The Secret Poke Process
Select
We source premium-grade fish and the freshest produce from trusted local suppliers.
Prep
Every ingredient is hand-cut, marinated, and prepared fresh the morning of each market.
Build
Each bowl is assembled to order with your choice of base, protein, toppings, and sauce.
Serve
Served with a smile and a little aloha — ready to enjoy at the market or on the go.
Community First
Built at the Market, For the Market
Secret Poke isn't a restaurant — it's a market experience. We set up our tent, fire up the prep station, and serve fresh poke to the people walking by. There's something special about that direct connection.
We know our regulars by name. We remember your usual order. And we love introducing first-timers to the magic of a perfectly built poke bowl. That's the community we are proud to be part of.
Come Find Us at the Market
Whether you're a poke regular or trying it for the first time, we'd love to build you a bowl. See you at the market!
