    1/2 Turkey Avo Salsa Verde
    KayAnna S.

    Another great Mendocino Farms location! With quality food and efficient service, what more could you need? Really easy to order food either to eat in their cafe or to take to go. Although they were busy our food was ready in under 10 minutes! My husband and I ordered the farm club sandwich and the 1/2 turkey avo salsa verde sandwich with spicy curried couscous. My husband enjoyed his farm club sandwich but we both agree that the turkey avo salsa verde was the best! The salsa really adds to the flavor of the sandwich. The spicy curried couscous was fantastic as well. So much flavor for couscous. It's a staple I get every time and happy that this location made it just as delicious as others. Really easy to get in and out for a quick meal!

    I love the quality of food & healthy options at Mendocino Farms locations across my local area, and this location inside the Whole Foods at The District at Tustin Legacy on Park Avenue is super convenient to grab a nice bite before shopping for groceries at the Whole Foods. I love the $12 half sandwich & half side combo, it's an awesome value, and my favorite half sandwich so far is the Turkey Avo Salsa Verde, it has some nice mildly spicy elements together with creaminess and a nice lean protein like turkey in a great bread. The staff gets the job done and the vibe is pretty cool with tables inside or outside to choose from.

    Unusually small sandwiches, very stingy on the ingredients, comparing to other locations. I added avocado and cheese too

    Was a big surprise to find out that this Mendocino Farms is inside a massive Whole Foods. Here's what you need to know when and if you come... The food tastes average but there are several other issues. First, they make it basically impossible to dine in. Everything is served strictly to-go, in a paper bag. No trays, no plates, nothing. You end up sitting at a table in the middle of Whole Foods trying to eat your sandwich like some confused animal. But they sure do ask for tips. Second, this was the stingiest Mendocino Farms sandwich I've ever had. I've been to almost every location in Orange County, and they're usually consistent. But this one barely put any ingredients inside. On top of it I even paid extra for cheese and avocado, which they practically hid under a microscope. Ok flavor, terrible execution. If you want a real Mendocino Farms experience, go to the University Town Center location instead. I've had good experiences there so far. I won't be back to this one.

    Medium Sandwich Tray

    Mendocino Farms is one of my go to spots, so of course I got catering from them for my birthday! I got the Medium Sandwich Tray (22 half sandwiches) for $200 -- you're able to pick which sandwiches you want to include, which was nice cause other places have a pre-set one. My favorite sandwiches were the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon and the Chicken Pesto Caprese. I ordered online a few days in advance and I had no issues picking it up. It was ready on time and they also offer a serving set up. If you do go to Mendo here, it's in the Whole Foods grocery store on the right. It also has its own seating area so you can eat there if you'd like.

    The Farm Club = tasty and satisfying, without the guilt!

    The Farm Club: 4/5. Delicious sandwich that can become two solid meals. I liked everything in it, from the thick turkey slices to the bacon to the pickled onions. Tasty yet not heavy. My only complaint is that I couldn't really taste the avocado or aoili. I tried a bite of my friend's Basil Pesto Pasta Shells, and it was very feta-forward. Not an issue for me since I like feta, but I was hoping for more of the basil pesto and parmesan flavors. Not sure if this was supposed to be heated up, but we ate it cold haha. Mendocino Farms is located towards the right entrance of Whole Foods Market at The District. Tables are available inside the market and directly outside. My sammich took a while to prepare, as I got it after the people who ordered behind me, but it did seem like they were busy for dinnertime. Our food came out well packaged and labeled for easy pickup.

    Wonderful place for a quick to salad fix. This location is in the Whole Foods and they have a nice indoor and outdoor seating area. My favorite is the Mama Chen salad with tofu and miso mustard dressing. That miso mustard dressing is delicious and I frequently buy a side of it just to have and use at home. When offered, the superfood salad also hits. Casual. Plenty of parking. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure.

    We recently ordered Mendocino for our office lunch. Their sandwiches are good as usual, but probably better with a bit more protein in the sandwich. The two salads and the curry couscous are also good. Cookies are always very fresh and chewy.

    Mendocino farms inside of Whole Foods making it convenient! Prosciutto and chicken sandwich is the best sandwich! It has texture, crunch and flavor all together in one big bite! This sandwich has become my to go! Parking and the crowd was a tad insane on a Saturday but doable.

    Avocado Quinoa Salad
    Sakurako ..

    Only, The Best. My favorite, favorite lunch spot! I am a picky, health conscious person (realtor / yogi), and you just can't go wrong with this place. Super healthy choices, you can modify it however you like, staff are all very nice, genuine people. Has a very cute inviting atmosphere, and love the farmhouse industrial interior. I used to get their Avocado Quinoa salad, but these days I love their limited time salads :) my son loves their grilled cheese sand, chicken Ferraro soup, chicken parm dip sand, and their Not So Fried chicken sand. Husband always gets the Farm Club there as it's very clean, simple, and tasty. You just can't go wrong here, and I've done catering for 80 guests before. They all loved it!

    Small basil pesto shells
    Christina T.

    Wanted something quick and healthy for dinner, and Mendocino farms delivered! I got the Golden State Cobb and opted for the Baja goddess dressing instead of the vinaigrette that it came with. The salad itself was fresh and loaded with toppings full of protein and healthy fats like goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, boiled eggs, bacon, pickled onions and some herbs. The balsamic glaze also added a nice touch. I also got a side of basil pesto shells, which were very tasty, but the small size was the size of a Costco sample cup, so I wouldn't opt for this item again. Service was good and the store itself was clean, modern and aesthetic.

    Great lunch option located inside Whole Foods market. Has lots of options from sandwiches, salads and soups. Can rotate ur fave items. Staff is also very helpful. Pro tip for parents. Kids eat free on Thursdays! (With purchase of adult entree)

    Caesar salad, added chicken
    Mo H.

    This whole time's just a over priced salad/Sandwich place but not until I tried it. That $20 Caesar salad was spot ON (to be fair I added Chicken). The Caesar salad becomes my daily lunch (almost) option now the passed few weeks

    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.

    This is my husband and I's first time at this location. We were on our way for a visit at the…read morehospital down the street so we decided to stop by. I would like to say that we both really like this location. The ambiance is nice, there's a lot of seating, indoor and outdoor. Good spot to hang out with friends and family. The food was very delicious, so kudos to the cooks and a big thanks to the guy at the bar, he handled everything very well. That being said, our experience was not the best. Upon entering the establishment, we browsed the menu for a couple minutes and came up to the counter when we were ready to order. We were not greeted or even looked at by the cashier so we weren't sure if she was busy or waiting to take our order. She finally made eye contact so we started ordering. She asked us something but the music was a little loud and there were customers chatting at the bar so it was a hard to hear. We apologized for not hearing and she repeated herself in a very annoyed tone and rolled her eyes. She already seemed annoyed as we entered the establishment so the entire process of ordering was very uncomfortable and her attitude after we missed what said, was very rude. She was giving us dirty looks our entire stay. When we got our food dropped off by the same cashier (I believe her name was Kadence as stated on the receipt) everything looked fine except they forgot to give us our sauce on the side. Not a huge deal, my husband went up to ask for it and the guy at the bar was very nice, even gave us extra sauce. We got to eating and when my husband took a bite of his sandwich, he bit into bacon and we do not eat pork! He was very upset and doesn't like to make a fuss (normally would eat the sandwich even if it was the wrong order) but again, we do not eat pork and not eating pork is a big deal to us so he just wanted the sandwich he ordered. I went to the register to ask if we can have the correct sandwich made and let them know they can take the other sandwich back and once again the guy from the bar came to help, our original cashier did not want to make eye contact, didn't bother coming up to the register or apologized for anything. We felt bad because they threw away the whole sandwich, which I know is the typical process for the food industry but still sad seeing the food go to waste. While we were waiting for the correct sandwich, Kadence was still giving us dirty looks so we decided to go eat outside and from outside we could still see her in the window continuing to give us dirty looks! Laughable at this point. My husband and I are both very friendly and understanding people, we always love to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was having a bad day and it was an honest mistake, but her demeanor just made things very uncomfortable. Overall, we would not come back to this location as there are two other locations closer to where we live and their staff is always very friendly and helpful.

Service: The service here is half the reason I come! A lovely store associate will guide you when ordering, and they will bring the food right to you!

    Tough call... This is my favorite Mendocino Farms location…read moreout of at least five I have been to around Orange County. The problem with this sandwich chain is one and only: They have a huge issue with quality consistency. Ask their managers and they will tell you that the portions and sandwiche ingredients are strictly measured, but as a customer you know that's not the case. You go to some places and get these tiny sandwiches with two slices of bread and barely any ingredients in between. The Tustin location, located in Whole Foods has been the worst offender at this by far. Now this Campus Drive location has been creating the best, most generous, consistent sandwiches. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen every time still. It all depends on who you get as you cook on that day, crafting your sandwich. Some day sandwiches that get to the table are juicy and enjoyable, and sometimes, they come out to be disappointedly small, with minimum amount of ingredients. I had to complain to the manager a couple of times, but it doesn't help. Every time I come here, I pray to get the right chef who will make my sandwich well. Absolutely hate being at their mercy.
