I liked Mendocino Farms, I used to be there many times 1 or 2 years ago but unfortunately some changes on the menus, some sandwiches changed and some replaced the old ones. I have to say that if not everything changed, I believe the quality...went down. I was there fe days ago and took a farm Club (club sandwich), it was awful, very little bacon, turkey sliced way too big and almost no seasoning or sauce, each bite required a drink to get it through my throat, tons of salad (it is cheap) and a very standard bread without taste. I will try again as it was maybe bad luck, but had a similar experience 2 months ago with another type of sandwich. Maybe the end of Mendocino Farms quality???More

Nothing special. Good salads and sandwiches. Orders taken at counter and a waiter brings your food to your table. I ordered a Cobb salad. It was good. My friend had a Cuban sandwich and salad and she thought her sandwich was delicious. I thought it...was a bit expensive.More

We had each of the salads on the menu with sandwiches and green drinks. All were excellent fresh and crisp. The service was exceptional and the value in terms of healthy food and money was high

A friend and I had lunch here today, after a stroll around the Marina. Somehow I missed this restaurant in the past, but seeing a small crowd of people sitting outside, drew us in. I had the Caesar salad and my friend had a half...of a sandwich with a side salad. Both of us have eaten at other locations before, so we knew we liked the menu. What I liked about this one was the cashier efficiently taking our orders and a server delivering to our outdoor table within 5-10 minutes.More

This is mostly an outdoor dining experience surrounded by several other restaurants. The salads are always very good and plentiful. Lots of free parking, Very friendly atmosphere.

Ok, I was looking for a quick lunch and stopped here with no expectations. Yum yum yum. The bistro steak sandwich is a winner. The menu had many options including vegetarian and vegan. I will be the meat eater here! Yum

I’m hooked on the Bistro Steak. The sandwich was so flavorful with fresh arugula and roasted tomatoes— it is the only sandwich we order now. Lately we have been ordering this sandwich at least once a week. Their curbside pickup is in the back of...the storefront along Lincoln Blvd. or you can order through DoorDash. Just thinking about the Bistro Steak sandwich is giving me a craving...More

We love Mendocino Farms. You can order ahead of time and pick up or go there and order. I don't think they have indoor seating right now. We were there and no one was seated at the few tables they have. They have a large...menu and a vegan can get something good there as can a vegetarian. Personally, I love their steak sandwiches and they have quite a few different variations. Their Chinese chicken salad is also great, loaded with chicken and fresh greens. This Mendocino Farms is located in a large strip mall. Parking will take a minute, but there is plenty and it just depends on how close you want to be to the storefront. The service is super friendly and pretty fast. You can also have anything delivered with a minimum purchase, which I think is $11. Have a great time.More

We enjoyed all of our lunches at Mendocino Farms in Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey. Fresh healthy salads and sandwiches even our fussy 13 year old enjoyed. Great service and reasonably priced options at both venues only downside just big lines at Venice Beach...at lunch time as it’s so popular.More

I will admit we did not go to this area of MDR for sandwiches, but as a Plan "B" this was a happy and enjoyable alternative. As newcomers we were overwhelmed by the menu and process and so the staff member at the door took...time and patience to explain everything to our group of 6. He made recommendations based on our questions. In the end none of us was disappointed -- four had the Kurobuta Pork Belly Banh Mi, another the Cobb Salad and I had the Mendoza's Chimichurri Steak on a Pretzel Bun and side of Quinoa and Beets. All were satisfied and would recommend. Nicely washed down with selection of craft brews.More

Not worth the hype. The sandwiches were fine but nothing unique or exceptional. The sides were unimaginative.

Been twice and tend to forget how great the place is. Healthy eats and great service. When you go to pay there is a sampling of salads items you can add on. Or just snack before you get your order. If in the area I...will go back.More
