    Lemon Chicken, rice, pita bread
    Monique W.

    The food is amazing at Luna Grill! I hope a few locations open up in Vegas! While my family and I were visiting Legoland for a few days, we ended up stopping by Luna Grill for dinner after our second night! It was only a few minutes away from the Legoland Castle hotel. Google maps originally brought us to the main entrance to the Carlsbad mall and shops. We ended up going through the mall area and found that the restaurant was located on the other side. It was really busy inside Luna Grill when we had stopped by around 7:30 P.M. Luna grill's menu has a wide range of Mediterranean options. You can get falafel, chicken, steak, salads and so much more like Plate options, bowls ,salads, pitas, kabobs, and a lot of different options. Since it was our first time here, we did end up ordering an appetizer, the Lunatic Sampler. This had falafel, stuffed grape leaves, couscous, hummus, and pita bread. I really enjoyed the couscous. It was delicious with the cucumbers and tomatoes. It was one of my favorite part of the meals. For the entrees, we ended up ordering the follow Chicken Pita Wrap The Steak Kabobs The Lemon Chicken (This was delicious !!) I did customize the chicken pita wrap to have hummus with just the chicken, lettuce, cucumbers, and feta cheese. It was soo yummy. I enjoyed Luna Grill so much that when I was near Disneyland, I ended up going back to Luna Grill at their Anaheim location, ordering the same thing! My family enjoyed the steak kabobs and the lemon chicken as well. It did take some time for our entrees, about 30 minutes, but it was so busy inside during the evening. Every table was in use! Great food! Next time I'm in Carlsbad, I'll be stopping by here again! You can also join the Club Luna Rewards too!

    I ordered a to go meal for an event. The food was good and packed nicely. This location can have rough parking sometimes. It was helpful there was a sign posted that parking was allowed for 15 minutes. (I believe.) That was very helpful as it's a spot that doesn't look like one is allowed to park there. I will definitely come back for the quality and ease of accessing.

    Look at that presentation! Falafel Plate added steak. Carrots instead of pita. Steak chewy, rest was incredible!

    Tried this place a month ago and loved it. I keep thinking of it so I got the app, kids eat free Monday - Thursday and went with my daughter, she wanted steak so I added that to my falafel plate. She got chicken for her kids meal. Workers were beyond nice and accommodating. Helped me choose and we loved everything except for the steak. It was chewy, so chewy we could chew it. They went above and beyond and offered a refund, instead we got a kids meal since steak was $9 add on and kids meal is around $7. Know that they would have refunded me the $9 which is so nice but we opted for getting the kids meal because my daughter loved their fried n pita. I love their chicken. Not a fan of the hummus or pita personally but the falafel are so yummy and chicken is incredible quality for the US (it's so difficult to find good chicken in the US). Rice was fluffy and light and good and Mediterranean Salad was so great I didn't even need to use the dressing that came with it. For dipping I chose the cilantro one. They have plenty to choose from. I chose carrots instead of pita. Tastes great dipped in cilantro dip. I appreciate they have this option. This place was 5 stars month ago and 5 stars today too! Bathroom and restaurant was clean and this is a place you can eat and feel great afterwards. So glad we have this restaurant here! Thank you employees for going above and beyond!!!!

    o3.o7.2o26 We ordered the gryo and chicken plate with side of fries and house salad with pita breads. The staffs are very energetic and friendly. The food was good in the most part. The chicken was good in flavor but was very dry and a little tough. The kids loved the fries.

    The food was amazing and the service was really good too! Marcos helped me choose and was very nice! 100% recommend. The place was very clean as well as the other employees being really friendly

The staff is always friendly and personable, and the restaurant is usually clean and well-kept, which I really appreciate! My favorite order right now is the "Not So Fried" Chicken Sandwich. Between the toasted ciabatta, Mendo's Krispies, Mustard Pickle Slaw, and herb aioli, it's a divine mix of flavors. A side of the mustard remoulade totally elevates the dipping game! I'm also currently obsessed with their Spicy Curried Couscous! I do wish the "large" size of the Spicy Curried Couscous was a bit bigger since it feels more like a medium to me, but everything else is on point. Overall, Mendocino Farms has great food, awesome service, and is a place I always enjoy coming back to. Looking forward to my next visit!

The tomato slices are hearty. (One time the tomato slice was 1inch thick!) Thick slices of sourdough. That habanero honey sauce really takes the BLT up a notch on flavor. Very satisfying. I usually order order online for post workout dinner at home. Rarely is my order ready by the stated time on the receipt. I think most orders are placed online since the counter is always stacked with takeout bags. Dining room isn't busy (in the late afternoon/early evening.) If you are reading this review then you're likely new to Mendo. Good food takes time. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Seasonal items are always worth a try. Several items are their menu are just as tasty.

We ordered the Smoked Salmon Tartine, and it was SO good -- farmer's cheese, capers, pickled onion and dill on their sourdough. Honestly, the food was top tier. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing, and after trying the bread we actually ended up buying some to take home! For drinks, we had a matcha latte with oat milk and the canned nitro cold brew. Just a heads-up for my fellow coffee people: the cold brew isn't made in-house, but that didn't stop it from being really good! We liked the coffee so much that we actually went over to the local coffee shop that supplies their beans afterward and bought some beans to take home. And definitely don't skip the bakery. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious, and the chocolate croissant had that super crispy, crackly exterior. I personally would have loved a little more filling to make it slightly more moist, but that's completely subjective -- if you love a crispier croissant, you'll probably LOVE it. The atmosphere might have been my favorite part. It's beautiful, calm, inviting and just has that perfect Carlsbad coastal café vibe. Between the food, fresh bread, pastries and atmosphere, this is absolutely somewhere I'd come back to whenever we're in the area. Definitely worth a stop -- and come hungry because everything coming out of that kitchen looks delicious!

I already knew that I wanted to order the Khao Soi because I had looked up their menu and pictures way before coming in and it looked like their specialty. I ordered an iced jasmine green tea as well and chose a table to sit at. The woman who took my order was really nice and helpful with ordering. My food didn't take long to come out, and it was DELICIOUS. This was my first time trying this dish so I didn't know what to expect but it was everything and more. It was topped with what I think was fried onion and chili crisp as well for some added spice. The tea was also so delicious, the crushed ice they use is my favorite. The tea was garnished with an orange slice and my toddler decided to much on it. The woman who took my order noticed my daughter eating the orange slice and she brought me out a couple more on the side. You really don't experience that level of customer service anymore, so it was such a sweet gesture. They have a lot of other things on their menu that I would love to come back and try. I also used the restroom before leaving and it was super clean. I honestly have no complaints whatsoever and I hope this business continues to thrive!
