Great Service, Good Food with a Few Tweaks
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive. I found the atmosphere to be calm, complemented by great service. The tomato soup was exceptional, earning a perfect 10/10. However, the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich was a bit disappointing; it seemed to be missing something, perhaps a sauce, or the meat lacked flavor. The Guyaba Lemonade was too sugary for my taste, but the pomegranate lemonade was fantastic. Overall, it was a great first experience.

Amazing Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was equally impressive. The staff were incredibly polite and nice, especially when my son asked for extra cheese; they responded so kindly. I truly love the place itself.

Excellent Double Meat and Service
My experience at this restaurant has always been great, whether for dine-in or take-out. They actually provide double meat when you order it, unlike the other location in Downtown which claims to do so but doesn't. Because of this, I now go a little out of my way to visit this specific location to ensure I receive what I actually order. The service and food are consistently great every time I've been.

A Showstopper Prosciutto & Chicken Sandwich
My experience at Mendocino Farms in Mission Valley was defined by the Prosciutto & Chicken Sandwich. This sandwich is a total showstopper, redefining what a deli sandwich can be. The combination of salty, savory prosciutto and tender roasted chicken, enhanced by a vibrant basil pesto, all pressed into a perfect ciabatta, was nothing short of brilliant. It's the kind of sandwich that stays with you long after the last bite. The meal was fresh, sophisticated, and flawlessly executed. I highly recommend trying this sandwich!

Good Food, Poor Service Experience
My experience at this restaurant has generally been positive due to the consistently good food. I am a frequent visitor. However, a few days ago, I encountered a very negative service experience with an employee named Skyler. She was rude to me and to other patrons who were waiting for their food. Her attitude was unfriendly and unprofessional. This experience makes me hesitate to return, as I do not wish to encounter such behavior again.

Inefficient Pickup Process and Salty Food
I never understood why there is a pick up shelf for online orders if they don't use it. I go to the shelf, nothing is there so I wait, which is fine. However, I then notice there are at least 10+ bags at the front and back counters. Eventually, I asked someone if my order was ready, and there it was, sitting in front of me but not with the name visible for me to grab and go. It's just not a very efficient process. Usually, I have great experiences at Mendocino Farms. The Farm Club was also very, very salty today.

Delicious Peruvian Steak and Great Service
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I visited yesterday for a quick dinner and had the Peruvian Steak. It was absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of spice. I inquired about catering, and Christina was incredibly helpful. I will definitely be ordering soon!

Amazing GF food, brought me to tears!
As someone not from here, where GF options are usually limited to lettuce wraps or pizza, my experience at this restaurant was incredibly joyful. My husband and I visited during our anniversary trip, and I was moved to tears. I rarely find GF food that genuinely tastes like 'real food. ' Thank you so much! 🥹❤

Sweet Service, Delicious Food, Will Return!
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful, largely thanks to Angie, who was such a sweet heart! The service and atmosphere were both amazing, earning a perfect 5/5. I'm definitely eager to return and explore more of the menu. I tried the Peruvian steak sandwich. While everything except the steak itself was delicious, I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the way the meat was cut or the type of meat used. However, that's just my personal preference. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!
