Chimichurri steak - love the toasted sesame roll, it goes really great with the chimichurri sauce and beef, to which I would only add some fresh cilantro! Not so fried chicken - so crunchy and flavorful, better than your fast-food fried chicken sandos (Popeyes has gone deep south since its launch.) The only con is the sandos here are Very Very Messy to eat. You need a ton of napkins (or a wet hand towel if you take them home.)
I stopped by for lunchtime after my haircut up the street. I wanted something quick and fresh, so Mendocino Farms was calling me. As always, the restaurant was clean, the staff was super friendly, and the service was quick. I loved the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon sandwich! The toasted sesame roll was a great canvas to enjoy the savory seared steak & applewood smoked bacon, the marinated red peppers and caramelized onion jam a nice sweetness, the shredded romaine brought the refreshing crunch, and the chimichurri and aioli provided the herbaceous pops of flavor. I'll definitely order this again!
Growing up in California, but living in Hawaii for almost ten years, I was surprised to crave California cuisine during a recent SGV vacation with family over last Christmas' season. Hawaii locals understand the struggle of finding a variety of fresh produce and good American food. I didn't expect to get excited at my sister-in-law's recommendation for the family to have lunch here! It was my first time at Mendocino Farms, period, as well as this part of Pasadena. The huge parking lots were matched with many cars searching for parking that my SIL ended up parking on the street in the nearby residential area. The restaurant is vertical in direction, but spacious enough. Restrooms are right at the entrance, followed by a drink station and trash cans. Ordering was pretty straightforward and menu items are reasonably priced. Ordering kiosks were available, but the friendly worker still assisted us and took our orders. Staff bring out food to diners at their tables. My husband and I ordered sandwich combos. His order was a 1/2 Farm Club sandwich with the Lemon Chicken and Farro Soup. My order was a 1/2 "Not So Fried" Chicken with a small Kale and Apple Rainbow Salad. I enjoyed my husband's combo, but I loved my "Not So Fried" Chicken sandwich and salad! My combo was bursting with flavors and textures! I have a pretty small stomach and I get full easily, eating smaller frequent meals, but I still thought the small sandwich + small salad was not enough! Had I known my meal would be so tasty, I should've ordered a full sandwich or a medium sized salad. All good though because we were on vacation and would try many other meals in SGV. Mendocino Farms is definitely a nice break from the ubiquitous Mexican and Asian food in SoCal and plate lunches in Hawaii.
There is 90 minutes free parking behind. My friend & I both ordered the Seasonal GOAT salad. It had goat cheese, chicken, almonds, fennel, pickled onions, mint, kale and other lettuce. I was a little concerned about the "hot honey vinaigrette". I should have asked first. The salad was very good. But the spiciness of the dressing made my mouth burn during the whole meal Otherwise it's a nice place. Next time I'll ask for a different dressing.
TLDR: Great spot for hearty, healthier sandwiches and salads. Clean, quiet space with friendly staff. A bit pricey, but portions are generous. Favorites: Not So Fried Chicken (panini style!), Caesar salad, and avocado quinoa salad. Limited parking overall; street meters or a few spots in the back. I'm a big fan of sandwiches and salads, and Mendocino Farms hits the spot every time. I first discovered it in Irvine, so I'm happy there's now a location in the 626. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and easy to eat. My go-to is the Not So Fried Chicken. MUST get it panini style, especially on sourdough. Their Caesar salad and avocado quinoa salad are also solid choices if you want something lighter but still satisfying. Prices are a little high for sandwiches/salads, but the portions are generous enough that I usually get two meals out of one sandwich order. The ambience is clean, quiet, and comfortable, making it a nice place to dine in or pick up food without the usual lunch rush chaos. The staff is friendly and efficient, which makes the whole experience smooth. Parking can be a bit tricky but there's street and metered parking along Lake, plus only a handful of spaces behind the building.
I have only been to Mendocino Farms in Pasadena three times. I probably should dine here more often than not. For a recent work lunch, I ordered their Farm Club that comes with shaved, roasted turkey breast, smashed avocado, applewood smoked bacon, herb aioli, tomatoes, mixed greens, and pickled red onions on Mom's seeded honey whole wheat. It's a good size sandwich. All ingredients go well together. Quite tasty! Staff are usually pleasant and nice. Service is decent overall. Outside covered patio and inside seating are available. Parking is available behind their restaurant (off Shoppers Lane). First 90 minutes free, then $2/hr thereafter, $6 daily max. Mendocino Farms has not disappointed me as of yet. I hope they never do. I would recommend them to anyone who loves a classic good delicious meal. P.S. I will post more photos once I find them. Thanks!
Came during lunch hours on a Saturday, and this place was busy! It doesn't look that busy from the outside, but it's sure busy in the inside. A lot of families here too. Ordering was quick and easy. I got to order the "Not so Fried" Chicken sandwich, and my friend got the Peruvian Steak sandwich. For the quality here, the prices are pretty reasonable. We ordered and luckily found a table. It's fairly clean here as well. Service was quick and efficient and we didn't have to wait too long. First few bites of my "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich, I reallyyyy enjoyed the sauces they had! Also, the mustard and the other tangy sauce paired with it so well. It didn't taste fried or unhealthy at all, so this sandwich was pretty good. My friend enjoyed her Peruvian Steak Sandwich, it was definitely very filling and juicy. I also enjoyed this one as well! Although, I would say the steak is a bit on the tougher side, but still pretty good. Between the two, my chicken sandwich tasted "healthier" and lighter than the Peruvian Steak sandwich. I haven't had Mendocino Farms in years, actually my first time at this location. Would definitely visit again.
We had the most amazing lunch but it was the personalized attention that blew us away. We were welcomed by 4 employees before we ordered. We went with two salads both our faves. The quinoa avacado and the cobb no bacon. This location was so clean and the vibe was unlike any other. Beautifully designed made us feel like we were in a different place. Please look for Ty he came over and checked in on our meal and the book on OUR table. WOW!!! Ty took our what was could of been a basic lunch into an unforgettable experience.
Big fan of the food , the service was a big fat NO for me though. I came in and looked at the menu for a couple minutes while my partner used the bathroom, isbel i believe her name was came up to me and asked if i had any questions and i said yes and asked if the goat cheese was pasteurized. she seemed extremely irritated after i asked and came back and said no its not a minute later so i chose something else. After my boyfriend came out of the bathroom we ordered and she just looked irritated the whole time while we ordered, she asked me "for here or to go" as she was talking to a co worker, i had to repeat myself saying for here 3 times till she finally responded and looked at me still while talking. We paid, and right after someone comes up to her and says "the goat cheese is pasteurized" and she just shrugged her shoulders and couldn't even hand us our number for our table. She put it down right in front of us and walked away. Like I said the food was good, but $16 for a sandwich with no sides and crappy service, i don't recommend coming here. We paid $40 for 2 sandwiches, and a drink (they only have 4 or 5 drink options and the options are all lemonades and a tea mixed with lemonade so the drink selection wasn't great). A different good recommendation would be sweet greens, or tender greens or even Cava, they always have good service and the food is just as good for the same price.
Chimichurri Steak & Bacon - 8.5/10 Mendocino Farms never disappoints, and this sandwich is hands down my favorite! The chimichurri steak and bacon combo is packed with flavor, and their bread is always perfectly toasted: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. It's the perfect lunch to grab on the go when you want something quick but satisfying. I've also tried the Pesto Caprese and Peaches Salad, both solid options, but the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon easily takes the top spot for me. Free parking in the back!
Not so fried chicken sandwich the best sandwich on Lake Ave in Pasadena. I ask for that special roll with the seeds -and today I got it heated! Love the patio dining area! The staff is so friendly and outgoing- I Like the teamwork behind the counter- I'm a Car guy and they remind me of A well orchestrated "pit crew". I'll be back- I think Arnold said that- our Former governor- can't wait for my Next visit to Pasadena! Fast-efficient-friendly- and a very Satisfying lunch!
I got the not so fried chicken sandwich and its probbaly their best one even though i havent tried the others yet. But i love it. I love the ciabatta bread that it comes with. Its soft and crispy. They give yoy bbq sauce and mustard on the side but the sandwich doesnt even need that. There was plenty of seats, at least when we went. You can get your own water at the side near the tables. Parking in the back is a hit or miss. It could be really busy or semi busy where you could find a spot if youre lucky. read more

Got the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada ($16.20) and I have to admit I was hesitant to spend that much on a salad! However, it's one of their most popular items so I had to try it! It consisted of lettuce, avocado, corn, black beans, jicama, tomatoes, onion, quinoa, krispies, kale, cilantro, and cotija. The lettuce wasn't too fresh and there were some that were yellow green but not a big deal. It was packed with flavor even without the chipotle vinaigrette (relieved I got it on the side because I wasn't s big fan). The avocado was very fresh and plentiful. I added chicken for extra $4.74 and it was very tender! Overall, I enjoyed the salad but a bit pricey so it was a good one time experience! The Chicken Pesto Caprese ($14.10) was pretty good. It consisted of chicken, mozzarella, red peppers, pesto, and mixed greens. The greens were very fresh and the sandwich was packed with flavor. The chicken was a little dry but not a big deal. There was a lot of red pepper and it was a bit overwhelming so I wished there wasn't so much. Really enjoyed the pesto since it it wasn't too salty and was the cherry on top to the sandwich! I also really liked that the bread was soft and fresh. Got the "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich ($13.68) - 1/2 portion and it came with a side (paid extra $1.26) for tomato basil soup. It consisted of chicken, krispies, mustard pickle slaw, tomatoes, onions, and herb aioli. The bread was very fresh and soft. I'm glad I got this in half portion because I thought this was just ok and nothing special. The tomato basil soup was very oily and salty so wasn't too enjoyable. The Pomegranate Mint Lemonade ($5.10) was sooo sweet. It was refreshing but the mint was a little too overpowering. Definitely recommend adding ice and/or water otherwise it's way too sweet! Overall, the sandwich and salads were a bit pricey but definitely one of the better spots for sandwiches and salads in terms of quality and quantity! read more

Thank you for sharing, Christy. We’d love to hear how we could earn 5…
I've been a big fan of Menocino Farms ever since I tried them in Marina del Rey many moons ago. Lots of healthy food options and I usually gravitate to a favorite salad and a favorite sandwich so it comes down to what I'm in the mood for until those items get removed from the menu. Right now, my favorites are the Thai Mango salad and Chimichurri Steak & Bacon sandwich. But, I really miss the Sophisticated Chicken and Prosciutto salad and hope it can come back on the menu. And... include the Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad while they're at it. read more

I'm new to the area, and this has got to be the best Mendocino farms there is! I've been in the restaurant industry for 10+ years and it was so refreshing to see managers out and about, asking guests how everything is and how they are enjoying their food. The staff seem happy to be there and food came quickly. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. So glad I stopped in for lunch, wish I lived closer so I could stop in more often. Great job, keep doing what y'all are doing! read more

Mendocino Farms in Lake Pasadena is always a solid choice for a great sandwich and salad. The sandwiches are delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the salads are just as good, crisp, well-balanced, and very satisfying. Parking can be a bit challenging since the area gets crowded; (it was lunchtime when we got there, maybe not as crowded in different t time of the day) we honestly had to stalk people just to grab a spot . But once you're inside, it's totally worth it. The food quality makes up for the parking hassle. Overall, a really good experience and definitely a place I'd keep coming back to for fresh, tasty meals. read more

My favorite lunch spot, always delicious and fresh! Between the Seasonal GOAT Salad, the Peruvian Steak sandwich or my recent go to, the Farm Club with a side of Mama Sambas Habanero chips - I can't decide which is my favorite. Not to mention the friendly staff and excellent service. Thanks for choosing me to be the Fan of the Day!!! read more

located on a main road by downtown pasadena, this go to spot is a great lunch spot for office workers and anyone looking for a quick bite. Plenty of street parking in front and a huge back lot in the back with entries on both side. My favorite is the couscous and the chikichurri sandwich! order: chicken sandwich, chimichurri sandwich, turkey club sandwich, couscous comment: no comment great spot with great prices read more

To be completely honest, I was not expecting much from this place. I feel like healthy chain restaurants are usually hit or miss but this was a huge hit! I got the "not so fried" chicken sandwich which was 50000 good!!!! It tasted so fresh and I'm usually not a mustard fan, but the mustard aioli they had on the side... wow chefs kiss delicious. The ciabatta was perfectly toasted, and the chicken was so juicy with the perfect crunch from the crisps. I'm glad this is a chain so I can find one closer to where I live. The service was great as well, you walk up to the counter, order, and then they bring it to your table. The eating area vibes were really nice too. Lots of seating, reminded me of Panera bread. I would def come back to try other menu items. This specific location had ample free 90 minute parking in the back. read more

Way long overdue for this review.... I was so glad when this opened in Pasadena on South Lake Ave as I usually go to the Fairfax/3rd location, still do as I love the view and atmosphere! Not to take anything away from this location, good thing is at least I do not have to fight traffic and go the distance if I ever crave me some Mendo, and boy do I crave it more than usual, and order-for-pickup through the website is easy-peasy here. Love their Farm Club and it is what I usually order, my 'signature' per se and I leave it just the way it is without adding nor omitting anything. Just an overall great sandwich. It is fresh, light and hit the spot perfectly. But if I feel like I needed a 'kick' once in a blue moon then I'll opt for the Peruvian Steak Sandwich. It has a mild spice factor and of course it is beef over turkey, but then I wash it off with a cup (sometimes a bowl) of their amazing Lemon Chicken Farro soup. For all you vegans out there, try the vegan Banh Mi sandwich. It is decadent especially with the marinated extra firm tofu protein, brine daikon and carrots. Will certainly change the minds of any carnivore, even me. You can opt for the same tofu in some of their seasonal salads; like the Thai Mango - a tangy sesame meal of a salad packed with soft noodle, mango, leafy greens and of course sub for Tofu at no cost. But for me, the two sandwiches mentioned above are the sole purpose and enough for Mendocino Farms to exist nearby. read more

If you are looking for fresh and healthy meal, Mendocino Farm is there for you. The place has a very pretty and relaxing vibes. It was super busy and packed when I went, was it always like this?... The service was very fast and the staff were friendly and genuinely warm. I ordered the following to go; - Peruvian Steak Sandwich marinated steak with Oaxacan cheese, herb aioli, red onions, tomatoes, shredded rom aine on pressed torta bun - Prosciutto and Chicken Sandwich Prosciutto and roasted chicken breast with fresh mozzarella, crushed honey roasted almonds, basil pesto, balsamic glaze drizzle, and tomatoes - The Happy Hippie Sandwich Avocado, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes, beet caviar, sprouts, hummus, white cheddar cheese, cucumber dill ranch, on toasted seeded honey whole wheat - Salad (I don't remember the name) The sandwiches had fresh ingredients. All of them were juicy and flavorful. It is a great place, healthy meal, nice staff and fast service and all in one! read more

This place is always great, but today was mind blowing. Not the Farm Club sandwich (on sourdough), which was yummy, I arrived to find my name on the "Fan of the day" chalkboard!!!! The manager Billy rang a cowbell and the whole staff cheered. What a heartwarming experience, and did I mention the fabulous sandwich? read more
Mendocino Farms was a solid lunch for the workday. I ordered the prosciutto & chicken sandwich with no tomatoes. There were honey roasted almonds inside the sandwich, which added a sweet and crunchiness that I enjoyed. The chicken itself had flavor and wasn't dry. At first I thought it was pretty small. However, it ended up as the perfect amount and didn't feel too heavy. This was easily a 5/5 sandwich. read more

Somehow these huge chunks of raw uncooked quinoa made it into my quinoa avocado salad. When i brought this to the attention of the staff, the employee took it, showed it to the cook, then returned stating it was part of the quinoa mix. I wasn't aware that uncooked ingredients were ok to put inside the salad. The quinoa is supposed to be cooked not raw. Plus it was frozen so I'm not sure what was going on. Glad I didn't get raw pieces of chicken in my salad. I know mistakes happen but the nonchalant attitude and pretending like that's how it's supposed to be did not sit well with me. I've had this same salad a million times. This was a first time experiencing raw ingredients. read more

Me and my partner go to Mendocino's all the time and the service is always wonderful! Super kind staff who is very helpful, the food always leaves us feeling energized and just good all around! At this specific location my partner was curious about a sandwich he saw being made behind the counter and the staff member told us it was coming out for the next season, but then after we walked away he came up with the sandwich and told us the manager wanted us to have it! We tried it and it was delicious! It made us feel really special and made our day! :) read more

When will the vegan Reuben sandwich be back on the menu?
Do they serve wine and beer, like the Sherman Oaks location?
Their online Pasadena menu says that they do serve beer and wine.
Will my hair and clothes smell after coming here (like the Downtown location)?
You should not experience that in the Pasadena location, since This store has pretty good ventilation and covered outdoor seating.
