Santana Row. Cool little lunch spot. The turkey sandwich was good but dry. Needed some more mayo. Other than that it was your basic sando.
The salad bowl with impossible meat tastes great. Quinoa salad was another winner. We stopped in for lunch, not too busy. Customer service was good
One of the older and most consistent Mendocino farms in the bay. Dining in is more inconvenient nowadays because you actually have to scan a QR code AFTER you pay in order to get a notification that your meal is ready. One of the employees was nice enough to just bring it over directly so we didn't have to go through the hassle.
The seating area is smaller and more uncomfortable compared to the other Mendocino farms. But it is very open air and the doors are usually open to the outside seating. It can get very crowded over the weekends. There are two bathrooms with janky locks.
My go-to is the Drake' salad. I also usually try their seasonal entrees and sides as well and those are usually not as good as their regular items. Usually.
Came to pick up lunch quick from work. Ordered a bit ahead and it was ready at the pick up shelves. Very easy to find my bag and overall easy in and easy out.
Got the not so fried chicken sandwich which I actually really loves. Perfect sizing and crunch to it.
Also got the avocado and quinoa salad, not big into salads but thought I'd try it as it's the best selling salad on door dash but just thought it was ok maybe missing a protein to wrap it all together.
Overall will definitely be back to try more sandwiches
Pros: different salad and sandwich options, large portions, yummy salads, cute indoor and outdoor seating
Cons: the floor was not very clean and I almost slipped on a wet tissue
Loved this place. They have awesome salads and great collection of IPA beers. Loved their quinoa superfood salad and Thai mango salad. They have indoor and outdoor seating, restaurant is at such a vibrant location which is in the middle of Santana row. There is a free multi-level parking garage next to it. You could also walk around to farmers market nearby. Enjoy the delicious pics I have posted.
I had the not so fried chicken and tomato Basil soup. Both were very tasty.
One of my favorite spots for salads! They have a good selection of tasty salads with high quality chicken. They have a wide selection of other healthy food items as well. The Santana Row location has plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and is a good place to go people watching.
Always super delicious, I really recomend the impossible hamburger. Is my favorite vegan hamburger, and all salads looks great and the tortilla soup is tasty.
I love this place, and the beverages are really good they made without any artificial colorant or flavor.
They have kids menu and is really good, on Tuesdays they have a great promo "kids eat free".
Great huge salad! Lots of lettuce but still a good amount of real toppings and a healthy serving of avocado.
I haven't had a sandwich yet but they look quite small.
Quick and friendly service as well. A little outside of the "main" santana row so it's nice and quiet.
I can’t say enough about the great customer service we received. We have never been to Mendocino Farms before. The lady behind the counter came out and stood with us at the menu board and helped us make a great decision. She answered all our questions. Aside from the great service, the food is delicious!
Great food!
We came here for some mid-shopping lunch.
I like Mendocino farms - lots of food options, unique, clearly very geared towards a healthy and sustainable diet/restaurant practice.
It was pretty crowded when we came but they got us our food in around 15-20 minutes which wasn’t too bad.
I will say that while the food is good, my only drawback is that the portion size is pretty small for the price. At least with my order - I got one of the sandwiches and while it was certainly delicious I ate it in less than 5 minutes and had to pick at my girlfriend’s salad. The salads on the other hand are ENORMOUS so you’re definitely getting a big meal with that option (although I would add maybe a little heavy on the quinoa - made the salad a bit too crunchy but that’s just my preference).
Anyway, definitely worth coming by for a casual healthy lunch
I had the vegan banh mi and couscous salad. I was very impressed with both dishes. The banh mi was packed with flavour, and the couscous salad was light and refreshing. The service was also excellent.
* **Vegan banh mi:** This sandwich was made with a vegan aioli, pickled vegetables, and cucumbers. The bread was toasted to perfection, and the fillings were flavourful and satisfying.
* **Couscous salad:** This salad was made with couscous, chickpeas, roasted vegetables, and a lemon vinaigrette. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, and the couscous was fluffy and light.
line moves.
steak sandwich comes on tasty toasted sesame topped bread roll.
rainbow salad vinegar tastes good.
passion fruit ice black tea sweet in a good way . Lemonade tart
too bad ice machine runs out of my ice.

Fresh and healthy food. Modern and clean environments. You can also see that most of the people who come here are health conscious and they probably do not eat unhealthy food on a regular basis. Price is reasonable. Service is great. This location would be a good choice for weekday lunchtime. Weekend is crowded. Highly recommended.

Saw this place from the street so I thought to myself, self you should stop in.
They have been open now for just 3 days.
As we walked in the first thing I noticed was this huge tree in the middle of the restaurant. (Very cool)
Wifey and I walked in a were greated immediately "even though the place was packed" the server was all smiles and VERY helpful, he explained the samich choices and took our order. 5 stars, good job.
As you walk up to the counter (before you pay) there is like a salad bar and you can sample all the salads for free (as many samples as you like)
They serve wine and beer also as well as lemonade, ice tea, bottled or fountain water as well as there own version of healthy sodas.
Last but not least I ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich and added guacamole for $2 as per the recommendation of the server, comes with spicy aji Amarillo marinated Creekstone Farms steak with Oaxacan cheese, herb aloli, red onions, tomatoes, shredded romaine on panini-pressed Torta bun.. (this samich is num num for life yo!)
Wifey ordered the "not so fried" Mary's chicken which came with shaved roasted Mary's fresh range chicken breast topped with Mendo's krispies, herb aioli, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, pickled red onions on toasted ciabatta and a side of mustard pickle remoulade..again (so so num num yummy)
This place has lots of employees and the table service is lightning fast. The only draw back is it is loud inside but I'm willing to overlook that. The complete experience was excellent. 5 stars.
Great for fresh salad or sandwich. I come here for lunch fairly often and it’s great to have in your rotation.
Delicious and healthy food. All their sandwiches taste great. Sides are also good. I liked the ambience. They have plenty of outdoor as well as indoor open seating. No waiting. Good service. The place was clean and well maintained.
Wow, food was incredibly fresh and didn't take long. You order at the counter and they deliver it to you. Tables inside and out, pleasant upbeat music and service was on top of it. They cleaned every table quickly and the gentleman at the counter made a great recommendation. I got the ancient grains chicken bowl and a glass of Chardonnay.
Service is great, always filled with people, but quick service. They give few dishes to try. I got half sandwich and half soup, tomato soup was fresh tasting and sandwich was ok. Not too many vegetarian choices though. Prices are in higher range.
