I had to write a review to shoutout Jamie! My partner and I ordered online and arrived about 10 minutes before our order would be ready. He approached us in line and had our online order expedited since we were already there. He seriously was running the show like a g. The food was great as always, but the service was A++++ read more

I absolutely love the sandwiches from Mendocino Farms. My go to is usually the prosciutto and chicken sandwich along with the basil pasta shells, amazing! They also usually have seasonal rotation of sandwiches and salads, which are always good. Mendocino Farms is on the pricier side however i'd say it's worth it once in a while. The workers at this location were super friendly. Service was quick and the place was clean. Parking could be tricky sometimes. read more

We like to stop by Mendocino Farms for a healthier meal option. Most everything I've tried there has been tasty! Alas, my kids are not as fond of the kids option there, so we don't usually come with our kids. Definitely give the avocado and quinoa superfood salad a try - it's my fave! read more

The Not So Fried Chicken Salad isn't on the menu anymore, but if you ask for it, they'll still make it! It's a big, colorful bowl of mixed greens and romaine piled with tender roasted chicken, juicy cherry tomatoes, bright pickled red onions, and a scoop of tangy slaw right in the center. The best part is the crunchy crumble topping. It gives you that "fried chicken" crunch without the heaviness. The dressing comes on the side, so you can add as much as you like, and it ties everything together perfectly. Clean space, quick service, and the food looked just as good as I remembered. read more

This was a great lunch place to visit for us. We had been to a Mendocino Farm location years ago in SF. We each ordered their 1/2 Sandwich and a side. My wife ordered the 1/2 Farm Club w/ a small side of Basil Pesto Shells. I had the 1/2 "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich w/ a medium side of Kale & Apple Rainbow Salad. We both enjoyed our meals. The place has both indoor & outdoor seating. They also serve draft beer and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Definitely worth stopping by for a meal read more

Hello, everyone in the South Peninsula, especially those in the Mountain View, Los Altos, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Menlo Park, and Redwood City areas! If you're looking for a great lunch spot, this is the place to go. Located right in The Village at San Antonio Center in Mountain View, it's near the Hyatt Centric hotel, across the village park, and close to Il Fornaio, The Breakfast Club, and Pacific Catch, right on the corner by Mendocino Farms. I can't recommend their sandwiches and salads enough; they are fantastic! They must put something special in their food because it's outstanding--absolutely delicious. This location is nice, quiet, spacious, and friendly, at least for now. I visited the one in Redwood Shores and was disappointed. Sorry, but while the staff was nice, the space was far too small. In contrast, this place is the opposite. The Mendocino Farms in downtown Palo Alto on Hamilton is good too, but it feels a bit too bustling for my taste. If you're seeking a more hip hangout, this is the spot, with excellent food and service. Yay for Mendocino Farms! Farms in Mountain View? You bet! Mendocino Farms is here. read more

This was my second time visiting this location and I had great experiences both times. The interior is nice and spacious with lots of natural sunlight. Indoor seating is pretty limited and fills up quick during lunch hours but there is outdoor seating available on their patio as well. Workers are friendly and service was good especially considering how busy they were. I ordered the Farmhouse Ranch Salad with chicken and I have to say, it was probably one of the best salads I've had. Everything was so fresh and flavorful and the Tuscan krispies give it a nice crunch with every bite. 10/10 would definitely recommend! I do have to note though that the parking situation can be difficult especially during lunch hours so don't be surprised if you find yourself circling the parking lot for a spot. read more

I've been to a couple Mendocino Farms, and this location seems super spacious inside. A tad limited with indoor seating but plenty of seats outdoors. Unlike other locations, where you pick up your food in the waiting area, you scan the QR code with your order # and the food is brought to you. Very nice feature! I was bummed they don't have the Impossible Taco Salad anymore, but got the chicken pesto caprese sandwich. Plenty of ingredients and it was really delicious and reasonably priced! read more

3/5: Happy Hippy veggie sando (with cheese). It's not as good as the vegan sando from Specialty's, or the Farmer's Market sandwich from Erik's. $14.45 On the plus side, parking is easy; just part in the Safeway parking lot. FYI: That large green space park/cooridor in front of the store is the Hetch Hetchy reservoir plumbing, which is why nothing can be built in that location. read more

Mendocino Farms - Happy Hippy veggie sandwich: $14.45 - Sandwiches Near Me - Mountain View, California

Look the food for this Mendo is just as good as the others but I'm knocking it down a star due to the takeout experience. No matter what time I order, when I show up at the designated time my order isn't ready. They are a victim of their success -- there are alway large orders from companies in front of me. When I say large orders, I mean 20 or more items. Occasionally a manager will notice that I've been waiting a long time and ask one of the staff to make my 1 or 2 item order. That's very good customer service but doesn't make up for the fact that you have to wait. It's also very difficult to park here. It wouldn't be so bad if you were eating here (no one ever does apparently) but I see take out people double park and park in fire lanes. A zoo. One other small issue here is they seem to have trouble with gluten free bread -- I've never had any issues with any other location but here they've had to remake it twice. Good food, not so good experience read more

Corporate Salad! I only ever order from here for corporate catering as it's ideal for the office and a favorite of my team. Salads are a good size, always healthy with lots of added protein. They have fun kids meal options that are healthy - the. chicken tenders are my favorite! read more

The food came out so quickly and the it was really good! The salad was massive and the flavors were so good! I got the avocado quinoa super salad without kale, and the amount of toppings were insane! The sauce was tangy and nice as well. My friend got Not so chicken sandiwch and chicken soup. The ambience was very nice, with lots of tables inside. The service was also great, with food coming out very fast. I would definitely come back to Mendocino Farms for its massive food quantity and quality! read more

Good salads, but painfully slow service. I waited a long time for them to fill my order. Not sure why it took so long with so many people working there. read more

Every time I come here, the staff are so friendly. This place and so bright and airy and I feel like they chose a pretty good plaza to be in. I remember trying Mendocino farms a couple years ago. I had a salad that was huge and I didn't quite enjoy it, but I'm so glad I decided to try them again. Their banh mi is amazing and I love the side salad options. I especially love that they offer many vegetarian add ons and that their menu is always evolving. read more

This restaurant is phenomenal!! I took my daughter here for a lunch date. She's generally not a great eater, but she loved the tomato soup (delicious!!) and The Happy Hippie sandwich (also out of this world). We brought the Not so Fried Chicken sandwich home for my husband, and he said it was excellent. The location and ambiance are nice too! Don't miss this place for a delicious, healthy, hearty meal. read more

We were greeted with a very friendly worker and offered with any questions. The restaurant was. Of busy at all some to gos. Clean. We waited a long time for our food considering no one in here. There are like 6 employees. The manager seemed to be talking with them which is fine but if you are going to hold them up let your customers know. The food was good. read more

Whewwww! Someone had a bad day! It's one thing to be busy but it's another to be disorganized. busy is great and with an organized management team ; today's situation while frustrating could have been manageable. . It was just a crap show ! I ordered online and my food was nearly 30 minutes late ! On top of that , not sure if the pork sandwich was suppose to be warm but it was cold to the touch . Apparently it was sitting there for a while . The management was not helpful and obviously had no control of the situation . No transparency or customer service . More staff and more training is needed for this location ! As times get tougher and more expensive , companies need to step up and be more accountable. Otherwise already angry and frustrated consumers will move on! read more

Exceeds all expectations. The sando & soup was delicious. The soup was a seasonal special. I believe it was "Hatch Chile Curry" and it was creamy, light, complete flavor bomb. Now that I think of it again, I should have bought a tub of that. I believe its the freshness of the ingredients that make a different. The bread has the freshly baked aroma, the snap and crunch from the lettuce, and buttery cheese. You may think this is a normal soup, salad, sando place. I think its one of the best, if not, the best soup, salad and sando place. read more

Thanks Rosie for your excellent service!! "The Peruvian Steak Sandwich" was delicious and the "Guava Lemonade" very refreshing. I'll definitely come back. read more

This Mendicino Farms is tucked away in this little community. This was my first time in the area, and the parking is super easy and widely available. Mendocino Farms is clean and modern, like all the newly developed buildings around. The food options here are great: fresh tasty salads, soups, and sandwiches, as well as half & half options if you can't decide exactly what you want. There is a big open layout inside which is a little odd (there are a few tables inside, but also a ton of unused space. There is also outdoor seating which is SO nice for warm summer days. Beer and wine on tap available! read more

Lots of seating and service is quicker here compared to Santana row location! I like how Mendocino farms is always consistent and their foods always taste fresh. We got the pork belly banh mi, curried couscous and potato salad. The potato salad tasted a bit undercooked the potato's were almost crunchy. Good portions and can be shared! read more

After a fun game of pickleball, my friend suggested we fuel up at Mendocino Farms, calling it "the upgraded version of Chipotle." He wasn't wrong. I ordered the Not So Fried Chicken Sandwich, and it was excellent--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and layered with fresh, flavorful ingredients that made every bite satisfying without feeling heavy. You can really taste the difference in quality compared to your typical fast-casual spot. The restaurant itself is bright and spacious, making it a comfortable place to sit down and relax after a workout. The staff was also genuinely warm and attentive, which added to the welcoming vibe and made the whole experience even better. The only downside? The AC was blasting a little too aggressively--so much so that I found myself wishing I had a jacket indoors. Overall, Mendocino Farms delivers on freshness, flavor, service, and atmosphere read more

I've been to the Westgate and Santana Row locations, but this one is by far the best. Adam R gave us excellent service by explaining the menu when we came in and then went above and beyond on a holiday. This location has plenty of outdoor seating, and tables are spread out. There's a cute kid's corner where littles can draw with chalk on the wall. Wish this one was closer to us... they also have "Kids eat free Thursdays" which is a nice perk. read more

Took 45 minutes for a salad. Sebastian and Michelle blew me off when I asked about my order which DoorDash said was ready when I first arrived. They were constantly looking at me and Sebastian even told me it would be ready after a few minutes when I walked in. Horrendous. Won't be returning. Would give less than 1 star if possible read more

Lots of healthier food options. I like their in house drinks too. The restaurant itself is clean and pretty large. Food is consistently good and staff is friendly. The reason I'm taking off 2 stars is everytime I've come, it's a ridiculously long wait even when there's no one in line. Ive ordered ahead of time with just a sandwich and salad and it's still been a minimum 30-40 min wait. Definitely would not go here if you're in a rush! read more

Great food, very healthy and tasty I order a Salad and soup and both were delicious. The service we got from Rosy was amazing and friendly, will be coming here more often. read more

The Mountain View Mendocino's Farm is a popular location in a chain in the San Antonio complex where there is plenty of seating and restaurant to choose from, but we still ended up going to Mendocino Farms. The ambiance with so much seating and barely anyone there for dinner(I think it is more busy during lunch) it was the perfect spot to eat. The menu had lots of veggie options which was perfect for my vegetarian mom and the food seemed really fresh. We ordered a Guava Lemonade, Tomato Soup, Chimichurri Steak and Bacon Sandwich, and The Modern Caesar Salad! Starting with our bev. The guava lemonade was really good. It tasted super fresh and you could even feel some guava seeds at the bottom of the drink. It was tart and refreshing and they filled our drink to the brim. The Chimichurri steak and bacon sandwich was also quality. The Chimichurri was oddly really sweet and the steak was a little tough, but the dish still tasted amazing with all of its elements( the bacon, the sauces, and the roll). The salad though I wasn't able to try was also really good with little crunchies that were unique. It didn't seem like anything special, but the ingredients all looked fresh and delicious. The tomato soup pasty was subpar. There was no wow factor it was just plain tomato soup. There didn't seem to be any salt added so the soup was kind of sweet and sour which I didn't enjoy however with some bread it tasted a lot better. Overall, Mendocino Farms for its affordability(all of the dishes and drinks I described ended up being $45), pretty good tasting food, and great ambiance I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others and hope to come again. read more

I had a wonderful salad the other day. It was a vegan salad with watermelon, but it was meant to be like poké. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference. It was delicious! Jessica was very helpful to me when I was ordering. She explained the menu and how to order. She is so bubbly, smiley and kind. And my kids loved her energy. She made sure to bring our food to us and spent time to introduce herself and get to know us better. It was a very welcoming experience which I needed since I just moved back to the Peninsula recently. She even wiped our table and it wasn't that dirty! So thoughtful. will definitely be returning to Mendocino Farms because the service is phenomenal. read more

I frequently come here after my nail appt. Usually on a Tuesday, but because of the 4th, I came today. The place was clean as usual staff also friendly. My not so fried chicken sandwich was not so fried it was messy. The chicken was sparse and had no crunchy stuff at all. I was disappointed. The quinoa avocado salad was great as usual. Hopefully, when i go back in a couple of weeks, it will be what I expect. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go when I need to grab a salad. While they have a lot of great options for salad, my favorite is the avocado and quinoa salad.

The food is packed well, and the service is fast. read more

Working in the restaurant and food service industry can be stressful and , which is why when I receive excellent care and attention I have to write about it! Shoutout this Wednesday afternoon to Saru or Sura? and her awesome colleague who took my order. It was my first time here, I've been wanting to try M Farms for a while, and they took the time to answer my questions and offered a free drink! I'm glad they did since I'm now a fan of their green juice, so fresh and tasty. I ordered the not so fried chicken sandwich and the Peruvian steak sandwich - both farm to table deliciousness. read more

Mendocino Farms has been one of our happiest dining spots in the Bay Area. We used to stop at the locations in the city or San Mateo. However, they've now opened different locations closer to home now -- and all around the peninsula and South Bay. I was kind of surprised when this Mountain View location opened. After all, it is just a few miles from the downtown Palo Alto location. Still, I'm glad that it opened. It is easy to find, easy to park and quite welcoming in this newer development off San Antonio Rd (across from Hyatt Centric Mountain View). The restaurant is very open and clean. It has ample seating both indoors and outside. The restaurant staff is very patient and helpful. They are very friendly and eager to please. Of course, the food is just what you would expect from Mendocino Farms. It is quite farm-to-kitchen-to-table fresh, wholesome and delicious. In fact, I'm not sure that you could find a more inspiring artisan sandwich anywhere in the Bay Area. The prices are amazing too -- especially considering the quality of the food and service. There always seems to be plenty of free parking in this area. If it is difficult to find an open spot, the free parking garage located just a block away always has plenty of open spaces -- even on the ground floor. This is a great spot if you've been hoping to try something from Mendocino Farms without actually traveling up the Pacific coast to Mendocino. The sandwiches, salads and soups are great! The Pomegranate Mint Lemonade is out-of-this-world! read more

First time trying this location. I've gone to many other locations multiple times, and this one is pretty consistent with the rest. I ordered online for pick-up and it was already ready before the estimated time! I ordered the avocado quinoa superfood ensalada, and my friend got the 1/2 sandwich combo of the not-so-fried chicken sandwich. The salad was delicious as usual! One of my favorite salads of all-time and always find myself craving it. Great location that has spacious indoor and outdoor dining areas. read more
