    Decorated wall behind our table

    We were meeting up impromptu with a friend for lunch on Monday and she suggested this newer location which has dine in and the food is plated rather than packed in takeout boxes. My family and I ordered The Farmhouse Ranch Salad, Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada, and The Seasonal GOAT with Sweet Citrus. Salad portions were generous and ingredients were fresh. There was crunch to the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada. The interior of the restaurant is clean and bright. We would return for another meal. The location is great and the service and food are excellent.

    Seasonal goat with summer peaches , with add on of sourdough panini pressed.

    My friends Thai mango salad had some great flavors and the portion size was pretty big. My seasonal goat with peaches was probably half the size, so i was a little disappointed in that. It tasted good but some of the mixed greens were a little wilted and some were hard to eat as they weren't cut bite size. It probably wouldn't have been enough food for me but luckily I paid for additional panini pressed sourdough bread and it came with 2 slices. The bread was great!

    Stopped by Mendocino Farms for lunch and was impressed by the vibrant salads. The portions are seriously generous. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and the ingredient combinations were creative without being over the top. The drinks were great also! The modern farmhouse atmosphere is perfect for a casual meal. Clean white shiplap walls, plenty of natural light, and a spacious dining area with both indoor and patio seating. The "EAT HAPPY" branding on the trays definitely matches the vibe - it's upbeat and welcoming. Service was quick and efficient even though they seemed busy. I ordered and my food was ready within 15 minutes. The staff was friendly and the whole place felt well-organized.

    How disappointing that a huge chunk was missing from this side order of couscous that I received. 11/4/2025

    First off, I love Mendocino Farms! Their food is always fresh, tasty, and good. I've been to several locations around Orange County and they have opened quite a few new ones this past year. I visited this Irvine (Jamboree) location on Tuesday to pick up my online order. I did a quick check inside the bag to make sure both items were there and left. Once I got home, I noticed my medium-sized Curried Couscous ($5.95) had a huge chunk missing (see photos). It was pretty disappointing and as my hubby put it, "it looks like someone got hungry," and in all fairness, that's exactly what it looked liked. The photos doesn't quite capture how much was missing, but it definitely seemed haphazardly packed. At least my Superfood Quinoa Kale Salad ($13.95) came out perfect. Normally, Mendocino would be a 5/5 for me, but because of this experience at this location, I'm rating this visit a 3/5. Aside from this mishap, the location itself is nice. It's not the largest, but it has the same vibe as the other Mendocino locations. Parking used to be plentiful, but after the restructuring of the space, there's far less parking. Thankfully, there are a few to-go spots, so if you're just picking up, it should be a problem to find parking. Would I come back to this location? Yes because I like Mendocino Farms and I'm hoping this was a one-off situation. However, I'll definitely be double-checking my order before leaving from now on.

    Great food! Good value, good portions! Not too much to complain about. Ordering process was a little confusing and table scanning, but all the food and value was top notch

    Thai salad with added steak

    A brand new Mendo Farm at the Tustin Market! Located along side Handel's ice cream and Blk Dot coffee in a brand new building by the movie theater. Great area for families to dine in (or outside) and let the little ones roam. The salads are fresh and flavorful as usual. We really enjoyed the 2 salads that we ordered (Thai salad and avocado quinoa salad) but the dressings are a little too much when mixed in. Would recommend getting the dressings on the side or ask for half the amount. Service is what compels me to leave a review! We were greeted with a friendly staff member who opened the door for us and introduced us to the menu and his colleague the counter. The nice lady who took our order was helpful with her recommendations. She even offered our son some crayons and coloring paper. Our food was brought out quickly by also very pleasant staff. After we ate and tried to clean after ourselves another staff came up and told us that he'd take care of it. As we finished and exited the restaurant, the door again was opened for us and the young man bid us a good evening! How did an amazing team of humans all come together and work here!? This place makes me happy being here! I'd highly recommend this new shop! Fresh food, quick service, pleasant staff, and a lovey environment. We'll definitely be adding this to our rotation!

    Thai Mango Salad is out this world! I love how descriptive their menu is with all the little details of everything that are included in my food. Veggies were all fresh and crunchy - no a single wilted veggies! Portion is good along with chicken that is well prepared and marinated. I normally don't like chicken in my salad because most of the time, they are tasteless at other places - BUT not here! Ask for dressings/sauces on the side. Not to mention their dressing! I asked for extra because I enjoy mine with lots of dressings ON THE SIDE. I would definitely order it again next time. I'd suggest order this only after you read the details in the description. Peruvian Steak - so tender and well marinated. Although I would like more meats on it and less lettuce mix. It tasted good enough where you did not even need extra sauce to dip! Staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. It always feel nice when staff treats their customer well. The inside is so clean and organized. Not a thing out of place! Location: it's next to Regal theater and parking is right in the front. I can't wait to come back and try some other salad and sandwiches.

    Beautiful and convenient new location at the marketplace right next to Regal Cinemas and a new outdoor play area. I placed my order on the app before arriving, and waited maybe 10 minutes for my food to be brought out to the take out area. Everything was nicely packaged but I think the to go packaging was a little underwhelming compared to the salads I saw others eating when served in restaurant. Overall it tasted amazing and I really loved all the mix of textures and flavors. I barely even needed to add the dressing because the hot honey was so good! Even though I truly enjoyed the salad, I will order in store next time to get the full experience. I had food envy looking at other people. Very friendly staff that took good care of us. Tables were clean and they stopped by many times to remove anything we didn't need.

    Recently had Mendocino Farms for our office lunch. It is a popular choice for our office staff. The sandwiches were good. Too much onions on everything as usual. More meat and less onions would be great. We were short on the sandwiches though. Curry couscous and the salad were both good. And of course, the cookies were always fresh and chewy and gone quick.

    Mendocino Farms is one of my favorite chains for high quality but still casual salads and sandwiches! I had to try the new location in the newly renovated area of the Marketplace, and the food was just as good as the other locations. The new space has indoor and outdoor seating, and there is a large lawn outside. I ordered my favorite avocado quinoa salad, and it has the perfect flavor and texture, while still feeling like a healthy meal. I also got a small size of potato salad, but I thought the portion was a little small for the price. The takeout process was very efficient and they have a shelf with your order.

    Salad with goat cheese and apples.
    Susan H.

    This was the first time I've eaten at a Mendocino Farms restaurant. I ordered the salad with goat cheese and pink lady apples. I have to say it was one of the best salads I've ever had! It was a big serving and I ate every bite of it! The service was great. All the employees were eager to please all the new customers. There was quite a line, but it went quickly, and I got my order in a very short time. There's lots of free parking. There is a nice outdoor seating area too. I'll definitely return soon.

    Peruvian steak sandwich
    Tracy M.

    I've always been a big fan of Mendocino Farms and have never had a bad experience--until today at the Tustin Marketplace location. I ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich to go, and unfortunately it was the messiest sandwich I've ever gotten from them. It was so overloaded with sauce that the bread became completely soggy, so nothing held together. Every bite had the filling falling out, making it really difficult (and frustrating) to eat. It honestly felt like it was put together in a rush without much care. Because of that, I didn't enjoy it the way I normally do, which was disappointing since I usually love this sandwich. I still like Mendocino Farms overall, but based on this experience, I'd suggest being cautious at this location--maybe ask for the sauce on the side if you're ordering to go. It might be better dining in, but this visit definitely didn't live up to the standard I'm used to.

    Food was amazingly fresh; the bread tasted home made. Only wish the chairs were a little more comfortable for wider hips.

    came here recently and wow... that sourdough is no joke…read more we ordered to-go and sam said the guy helping him (maybe the owner or manager?) was super friendly and genuinely delightful. that already made the experience feel good before we even took a bite. we tried the french dip and the garlic turkey pesto. let me just say -- the TEXTURE of the sourdough??? chef's kiss. crusty on the outside, perfectly chewy inside, exactly how good sourdough should be. it honestly makes other sourdough spots taste a little mediocre in comparison. the french dip was my favorite. the au jus wasn't overly salty (which I appreciate), and everything just felt balanced and well executed. sam loved the garlic turkey pesto -- the mustard threw us off at first, but the more we ate it, the more it all came together in a really nice way. only con is the price. it's definitely on the higher end for sandwiches, which is the main reason I wouldn't order it super regularly. that said, you can tell the bread is baked in-house and super fresh, so I can't be too mad about it. overall, really happy we tried this spot and would absolutely come back when we're craving legit sourdough.

    The bread was delicious, as we expected. The outside was crunchy and the inside was soft and yummy…read more We split an 8 inch caprese sandwich. $16.99 for an 8 inch sandwich is pretty steep. $14.99 for 6 inch sandwich. The sandwich was good but there was too many competing flavors. Pesto aioli and something else were heavily applied and took away from the sandwich. We'll be back but will order more carefully. The staff was terrific and the place sparkling clean.

Needed a quick bite to eat and the Newport is everything I want in a sandwich: well-assembled, packed with delicious and savory flavors, quality ingredients, all wrapped in delicious textured flatbread that's been cooked on a griddle. Although the piadinas don't look large, I've always found them to be filling and have trouble eating the entire thing in one sitting unless I'm super hungry. So I would say they are not huge portions but extremely satisfying to eat. Service is friendly and efficient and ambiance is casual - a great spot to stop by if you need something fast and delicious. So happy we have one in the neighborhood!

Piadina is a small, bright sandwich eatery in Santa Ana. It looks like a chain but I couldn't find any other locations on their website. Al's though it looks like a fast casual shop where you walk down the line and pick your fixins but it's much more streamlined. You just order and sit, more like a burger joint. They also offer cafe choices like coffee and pastries. Items are on the pricier side but honestly it's filling. I'm told seasonal items rotate decently frequently Piemonte (seasonal) I'm a really big fan of the bread for these sandwiches. It reminds me somewhat of Chinese scallion pancakes as far as texture is concerned: a slightly sandy exterior with a dense chew. Flavor on the bread is doughy and nutty, very pleasant. As far as toppings, this is a very successful wich! The brisket is tender and savory, vegetables are crisp, onions sweet and crunchy, and the aioli tastes strongly of truffle. I'd check it out again if I was in the area! 7/10 Sweet caramel chai latte Well made and as described but nothing too crazy. Ginger is the most prominent spice and the caramel is a nice touch without being overpowering. 6/10 Overall I love the idea of a sandwich shop that has decent coffee. Check this place out for a quick lunch!
