    Went to Mendocino Farms and had the Golden State Cobb with added chicken--it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Turkey avo salsa verde
    Benedict A.

    Everything I'm walking around Victoria Gardens this place is always packed. It was.my understanding that this is a healthier type option for food. So we came here on valentines day an hour or 2 before they closed and there was no line!! They have seating outside but it was dark and cold. Fortunately we were able to find seating inside at the high top. We ordered 2 sandwiches. Their turkey avo salsa verde and farm club. Food came out in about 15 or so minutes. They were both OK. Had their own unique flavors. They have different options for their breads. Turkey avo came with a spicy salsa on the side. Farm club was good too. They mainly do sandwiches, salads and soups. I wouldnt mind coming back to try some of their other menu items in the future.

    The Avocado Quinoa salads.
    Ray N.

    This Rancho Cucamonga Mendocino Farms is part of the outdoor mall. It is a casual, healthy, fun and relaxed restaurant with a tasty and light menu, great team members and a nice and casual atmosphere. Eric welcomed us at the counter and took our order. He was very professional and courteous. The fantastic Camila brought us out the salads and came right back with extra limes and salad dressing( did not charge us for the two containers). Vic was all smiles as he picked up all the dishes and spoke to us for a bit excited that he was going to NYC for the first time in November. Our salads were great. The quinoa was roasted and the crunch complemented the avocado and the greens so beautifully. The dressing was a chipotle vinaigrette and not spicy at all. The limes were what took this over the top. There was so much activity with the doors on both sides open as shoppers popped in and out. This was a very enjoyable meal followed by a nice walk around the mall.

    Peruvian steak sandwich! Delicious!
    Rae Ann D.

    The Peruvian steak sand is huge!! And messy, but delicious!!! 5 stars for flavor, juicy, softness of the roll and size alone! In grave contrasts to the size of the sandwich the small side of potato salad was tiny, but honestly after eating only half of the sandwich I thought the small side was perfect size. The potato salad was delicious but I would say only if you love mustard flavored and dill flavored foods which I do! The service was great, the friendly gentleman cleaning tables stopped when he saw I was looking around to pick up my mobile order, thank you kind sir! They have many vegetarian options , even gluten free, and vegan. I can't wait to try a vegetarian option because I see some of the salads and they look amazing too! The ambiance was amazing the place was completely packed for 1:45 on a Monday, but it is the week of thanksgiving so maybe that had something to do with it! I will be back! Great location by the way!

    I have never been a big sandwich person. In fact, when one of my friends first told me about Mendocino Farms years ago, I responded, "How can it be? It's just a sandwich." I would live to eat those words, literally. Over the years, I've tried many of their locations and indulged in their delicious sandwiches. I can never get enough of the seasonal sandwiches, especially the November to Remember that comes out, you guess it, in November. This was my first time at the Victoria Garden's location. I didn't remember seeing one here before and was thrilled when I saw it this time. My daughter and I didn't care what else was there; once we saw "Mendo" we knew we wanted it. It did not disappoint. The food was excellent, as per usual, but the outdoor seating was amazing. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. We sat in the sun and enjoyed our sandwiches and the views of the mountains and beautifully scenic streets. It was perfect.

    People ordering to be told they have nothing left to sell and drinks are no longer available.

    This place is always in a hurry to close and lock you out. Online states they close at 9pm - I was placing my order at 8:20pm and they refused to sell drinks because they want to "clean the drink machines early" ...No, you should be offering everything on your menu during operating hours. They are always out of some too ...certain breads needed for their sandwich. Every. Single. Time. I see this place closing down soon because they make it their mission to push people away. People working here don't want to work their full shift apparently.

    1/21/2026 3 1/2 Stars - Trash bin was full, tables were dirty! Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada - (avocado, roasted corn, black beans, jicama, grape tomatoes, red onions, quinoa & millet, superfood krunchies, kale, romaine, cilantro, cotija, chipotle vinaigrette) I've had this salad a long time ago and remembered enjoying it, so since I'm eating clean for January, I've decided to reorder this. Surprisingly, I did not really like it. There were many good ingredients in it, but all I remember is the superfood crunchies: quinoa and millet that has been flash-fried. I did not know about this until later or I would have not ordered it to avoid fried foods. The quinoa and millet were super crunchy and personally, I didn't care for it. It was overly crunchy along with the romaine lettuce. I never thought I would complain about crunchy foods, but it was overkill. The dressing is what should bring the whole salad together. But I didn't love the chipotle vinaigrette. Lightly spicy and smokiness to it, but I didn't think it went well with the salad and all its components, a creamier sauce would have been better. Maybe tahini-based or a savory, tangy, tomato-based vinaigrette. Thankfully the dressing on this salad was lightly dressed and you can still taste the freshness of the salad ingredients. Overall, salad was aesthetically presented well and it was more than enough to bring leftovers. Lemon Chicken & Farro Soup - (a hearty chicken soup with whole-grain farro, carrot, celery, onion, baby spinach, lemon) This was good as usual. I got a cup, which is a good portion for those who just want soup only! Love that this soup was loaded with chicken, farro and all the vegetables! Very warming and delicious! I still think their tomato basil is the best, but this is my second favorite! Ambiance - I ate outdoors and it was a bit dirty. There were three tables that weren't completely cleaned. There were some leftover food particles lying there staring back at you. The trash bin was already full and I felt gross trying to shove the rest of the used napkins down the trash bin. As I was leaving, a staff member did come out to wipe down the tables. Hopefully, they took out the trash too! Customer Service - Not super friendly, but okay overall. Could be better. I feel like the staff here changes so much! Like a revolving door! There were better staff in my previous visits. Not sure if they work here anymore.

    I was so excited to read that Mendocino Farms (MF) opened up a location at Victoria Gardens (VG) in Rancho Cucamonga (RC). What wonderful news! Yay! My first ever visit to MF was in Pasadena. I enjoyed what I ordered last time. I had to come check out MF at VG in RC. It's located at a corner space of Monet Ave and S Main Street which is very nice for everyone passing by to see them. They have great amount of outside patio and inside dining space. Really high ceiling and bright lighting inside. Refillable drinks plus a huge water station that you can't miss... cool! Dine-in, order to-go, pick-up, delivery, and catering are all at your fingertips... you have options! Super friendly and helpful staff. Thank you miss for the great recommendations! I got 3 items to-go. I will rank them in the order of my most preferred to least preferred. 1. The Farm Club - So yummy! Its delicious creation came with layers of roasted turkey breast slices, smoked bacon bits, fresh mixed greens + tomatoes, pickled onions, smashed avocado, herb aioli on a seeded whole wheat bread. I got the avocado and herb aioli on the side since I wasn't eating it right away. I didn't want to get home and find a mushy sandwich. 2. Spicy Curried Couscous (large) - This is a must get every time. Love that its spicy curried inspired... so good! Large please!! 3. Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada - I was so looking forward to liking this one, but the quinoa was a bit dry and the dressing was just okay. The chicken I had added was a bit dry, too. The mixed greens and avocado were very fresh though. Highly recommend MF. Can't wait to return to try their other sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and drinks. Eat Happy!

    I'm thrilled that Mendocino Farms has opened at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga! I love grabbing takeout after the gym, and the service is always quick with super friendly staff. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, and the place is super clean. Once, they forgot my dressing, but when I called, the manager, Lawyer, was so apologetic and mailed me a meal coupons--what a pleasant surprise! Our go-to is the Sweet Peach & Goat Cheese salad, and the Peruvian Steak Sandwich was amazing too. Can't wait to try the Prosciutto & Chicken Sandwich next! My Personal Rating : 4.6 Food 4.7/5 Service 4.6/5 Price 4.5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Cleanliness 4.7/5

    Outdoor patio seating
    Katrina N.

    I'm writing this review from my experience last Friday, which happened to be best friend's day & they had a BOGO deal if purchased on the app. I downloaded the app and made my purchase, which was easy to do. When I got there to pick up my order, I noticed they were very busy. Maybe because it was a Friday night? Or maybe it was because of their BOGO deal? When I arrived to pick up my order, I noticed it wasn't ready. I didn't want to wait inside because it was so crowded with all the people waiting for their order. I came back in 5 minutes & I heard them call my name. My family and I were able to get seating in the outside patio. My parents split a sandwich (the not so fried sandwich) & they really enjoyed it. my mom said it had a crispy, crunchy texture to the chicken. They also enjoyed the potato salad, however, I did not really enjoy it because it was Oaxacan style. I ordered the farm style sandwich, which was good but very full on the inside so as I was eating it, everything kept falling out. My side was the basil pesto shell pasta. The flavor is very strong in basil so I liked it. This restaurant has a cool, chill vibe to it. It just so happened to be that we visited on a very busy Friday evening. Also, the patio area is near a rest area of the mall, so it can get busy and loud as children like to play in that area outside of the patio area.

    This place, never misses! The food was delicious and even though it's in the middle of the mall, they still bring your food out and deliver it to your table. I was surprised the service was that spot on for a mall. I've tried quite a few sandwiches here and have been thoroughly surprised with each one. Everything is full of flavor and tastes fresh. This location had open indoor and outside seating enough for small groups and maybe a big party!

    First time at Mendocino Farms. A nice place for two couples on a date for lunch at Victoria Gardens. A clean and casual eatery.

    Love coming here after a walk around Victoria Gardens. Patio seating makes it an easy choice when coming with my dog, too. Food here is fresh and delicious--I've liked everything I've tried so far. My favorite has been the chicken and hummus crunch wrap, and I enjoyed the side of couscous (which could use a little extra salt, but no big deal). I think it was the manager here who offered free samples of the drinks on my first visit. It was really nice of her, and the pomegranate mint is amazing!

The moment we walked in, all the memories came rushing back. Even though the name has changed, the fresh salad bar, delicious soups, the smell of freshly baked bread, baked potatoes, and sweet potatoes all felt just as comforting as we remembered. Our favorites were the variety of fresh salad selections, the chicken noodle soup, and the clam chowder. The bright, spacious dining room and relaxed atmosphere made the experience even better. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we'll gladly keep coming back whenever we're craving salads and soups, yum yum.

    ​The Ultimate Souplantation Nostalgia--and Still Hits the Spot!…read more ​Soup 'n Fresh in Rancho Cucamonga has officially become my go-to tradition for my annual performance review with my manager. The moment you walk in and sit down, you get that instant, amazing "blast from the past" feeling of classic Souplantation. ​The Game Plan ​To Start: A big plate of Asian salad alongside hot cornbread slathered in honey butter. ​The Carbs & Soups: Next up is the focaccia bread paired with my two absolute favorite soups: the New England Clam Chowder and the Chicken Tortilla. ​If Space Permits: The mac & cheese is always calling my name if I'm not already stuffed. ​The Grand Finale: You physically cannot leave without building a mountain of soft-serve ice cream. ​Service & Quality ​Huge shoutout to the manager, Greg! He took the time to share his personal menu favorites with us and gave us the inside scoop--everything at the Rancho location is made completely in-house. That extra touch and fresh quality make a huge difference. ​No matter the occasion, I always leave here happy. I'll definitely be back for my next review... as long as I don't get fired between now and then! Highly recommended!

Found them at Terra Vista Town Center in Rancho Cucamonga. Plentiful parking. Cool! Got here close to closing time and they were still packed with customers. It's a good sign when customers are still coming in till the end. Well done CAVA! Interior was bright and clean. Non-occupied tables were busted. Both indoor and outdoor seatings are available. Fountain drink station and selective standalone drinks are present for your choosing. Restrooms are in the back of the restaurant. Got in line with maybe about 10+ people ahead of me. I feel their system needs to be improved a bit. I understand they can't move forward with the bowls until the bowls in the front are done. Every step of the way, our bowls were filled, but just sitting there getting cold until the previous bowls are done. Not sure how they can improve the assembly. Btw, their ingredients stations were messy not the most organized bins. Crumbs of stuff all over the place. You'll see what I mean when you see the photos. They really need to keep their stations clean and organized. Anyway, I wanted to try the Spicy Lamb Bowl, but the meat didn't look as great as the ones at Pasadena. So I got the Harissa Honey Chicken Avocado Bowl again. The chicken was not in big chunks like the other place. Oh well. Got the bowl as the chef curated plus a few more toppings such slaw, tomato + cucumber, and tomato + onion. Unlimited toppings as many as you choose. Selective toppings such as avocado may have an extra charge. Soda water wasn't working great at the fountain station. Someone needs to check it out. Bowl was good, but was not as good as the one I had at Pasadena. Something was off about it. Maybe the ingredients did not have the same level of preparation and freshness. Not really sure. One more thing, this bowl doesn't normally come with a pita, but I was offered one pita free of charge at the Pasadena location. I wasn't offered the same here. Bummer! Staff was okay not the most welcoming and smiliest. Nonetheless, still a great place to get one of their Chef-Curated Bowls at varying prices or Build Your Own (BYO) bowl starting at $12.95. Just be mindful the price could add up with BYO. I may return again, but during earlier hours and not at almost closing time. Hopefully the stations will be much cleaner and organized. Thanks CAVA!
