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.

Farmhouse Ranch Salad with Chicken
Emily T.

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.

Chicken Pesto Caprese
Denise L.

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!

Happy Hippy veggie sandwich: $14.45
Scott F.

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.

Pick up door

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

Half sandwich combo. Chicken Pesto Caprese with basil pasta as side
Connie C.

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.

Peruvian Steak Sandwich

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

"Not So Fried" Chicken
Sarah J.

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!

Place was packed and moved slower then a dmv line! To put that into perspective I waited a half hour in line they sold us drinks and had no drinks available for all these people waiting what a waste of time and thr manager acted like he was frustrated and didn't care when the clerk informed him! I want my time back and my money! I asked for a refund and they couldn't even give me that! Out $50 on my way back to work hungry thanks a fucking lot!

Vegan Banh Mi
Grace X.

I had the vegan banh mi from a catered office event, it was absolutely delicious. Ciabatta, fried tofu, pickled veggies, vegan sauces, all amazing. Their menu is well labelled, not a ton of vegan options but the ones they have are good.

The Seasonal GOAT with Sweet Citrus
Yinong T.

it's really a large one, Asian girl can't finish it at one meal, and it's really healthy with nut fruit and vegetables.

There's a beautiful outdoor area in the back with tons of tables. Even though it was super busy, we still had our choice of a few tables, and the foliage/patio umbrellas make it nice and shady. Our food was also delicious! We got: Prosciutto and egg sandwich - eggs were super light and fluffy, and the sandwich was well balanced and cheesy too! Fat and fluffy French toast - such a generous portion and the berries and whipped cream were so yummy! The toast itself had crispy edges and was super fluffy! They have such a large menu too and I'll definitely be back to try more!

Mid week brunch meant a quieter atmosphere and open seating. After perusing the menu we ordered at the counter before sitting at a table after picking up utensils and water. We ordered Fambrini's Breakfast, Brie & Mushroom Omelette, Crab Omelette, and shares the Lotus Biscoff Pancakes. Everyone loved their egg platters. The eggs were perfectly light and fluffy. I generally avoid omelettes getting scrambles instead because restaurants tend to overcook the eggs. Our dishes were prepared with quality and flavor in mind. I personally had the crab omelette and left no crumbs behind. The potatoes were well seasoned and wish I had enough room in my tummy to finish them off! The drip coffee was bold and delicious not watered down at all! Finally, we shared the 2 stack biscoff pancakes for a sweet finish. The pancakes were bouncy with biscoff sauce and a mound of whipped cream. This was mouth wateringly delicious. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but this was so yummy. This isn't a traditional sit down service but counter staff were friendly and efficient. There is a small parking lot off to the side and there is indoor and patio seating. Come by for a meal and you won't be disappointed! I wish I lived closer so I could taste the rest of their meal. Kudos and thanks for an awesome meal!

The customer service was excellent from the moment we walked in. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and created a great atmosphere. I ordered the tuna sandwich, and my husband ordered the tuna combo. Unfortunately, neither of us was overly impressed with the taste. It may be because we were comparing it to a tuna sandwich we usually get from another deli, and this one just didn't quite live up to our expectations. We also tried the lemon pie and apple pie, which were both decent and made for a nice treat after our meal. Even though the food wasn't exactly what we were hoping for, I would definitely come back and try something different because the customer service and overall energy of the place were outstanding. Sometimes a great atmosphere and friendly staff are enough to make you want to give a place another chance.
