Mendocino Farms on Postcard

"Need a good hearty salad or sando? This is where it’s at. The “Study of Heat” sandwich is a personal fav but you really can't go wrong with anything here. They have a nice little outdoor courtyard to sit, eat and catch some lunch hour sun as well." - Rinker Design

"Mendocino Farms is a solid upscale sandwich shop with locations all over LA, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that one landed not far from the paddle board rental place and the old-timey shops that line the marina. If you’re thinking of hitting up Mendocino for a sandwich or a salad and heading to the marina for a picnic, it’s always a good idea to avoid the obnoxious wait times and just order online." - The Infatuation Los Angeles Crew

Loved the chicken parm dip. The chicken was fresh and not dry, and all the flavors all came together quite nicely. The crispy bits inside were great too, and the bread was also crunchy. You definitely gotta drench it in the marinara sauce it comes with too. They were busy when I went but moved quick. I do think the sandwich was a bit expensive for what you get, but it’s tasty and feels higher quality than other options.

I often shop next door at Ralph’s, and I had noticed Mendocino Farms a few times, so I decided to give it a try. That particular evening, I was craving a sandwich with steak, but I didn’t want just another hamburger. I went for the Peruvian Steak sandwich as takeout, and it was absolutely spectacular. The flavors were spot-on, and the quality of the ingredients made it an excellent value for the price. The only downside was that the wait time was a bit longer than expected, but honestly, the sandwich was worth it. Plus, the staff was incredibly friendly, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back!

Stopped here after landing at LAX as it was close to the airport. We ordered the Street Corn Chicken Sandwich and the Farm Club. Both sandwiches were absolutely delicious. The Street Corn Chicken Sandwich was packed with flavor, and the Farm Club was fresh and satisfying. They had a nice seating area outside in the center of the outdoor mall, which was a pleasant spot to enjoy our meal. However, parking wasn’t the easiest to find, so be prepared for a bit of a search. Overall, a great spot for a tasty bite close to the airport.

I'd been reluctant to eat at any Mendocino Farms after a few disappointing experiences at the location in Studio City/Sherman Oaks. The service was so slow (like, 40 minutes for a salad). But I've been converted! The service at this location is stellar. Great people who seem to genuinely care about your experience. I ordered the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada w/ chicken added, and it was DELICIOUS. The flavor combos are surprisingly complementary and the crunch element is so pleasing. It's a tiny bit spicy--which I enjoyed. I'll be back--both for the salad and the excellent service.

This place has great food. I felt comfortable eating here with their gluten free options. The prosciutto and chicken sandwich as well as the chimichurri steak and bacon sandwich that my fiancé and I split were both delicious on toasted gluten free bread. We ordered takeout and ended up eating in the building. The inside is pretty dirty (especially the bathrooms) and the employees were less professional than I would have liked to see, but it was toward the end of the day with about 2 hours until close, so maybe that’s why?

Eye-widening deliciousness and amazing service!!!!!!!!! This is by far one of the best places I've ever been to. The vibes were cute when I first came in and then the servers were so sweet and helped me figure out what I should eat. I had the Peruvian Steak Sandwich and it was INCREDIBLE. Like...I'm still thinking about it. The PERFECT amount of spice and subtle flavors on the perfectly crisp yet soft bread combine to make every bite delicious. I also had the pineapple and tajin juice...MIND-SHATTERING oh my goodness it was so delicious. I also loved the cookie I got there (and I am VERY picky about cookies). If I could give this restaurant more stars I would and I would go every day if I lived on the west coast but alas I was traveling and will have to wait to taste this splendor again.

Our go to place weekly for gourmet salad, sandwiches, soup and sides! My favorite is avocado and quinoa salad, followed by the pink lady salad which we ordered today. The turkey sausage and kale soup is also delicious. Highly recommend this over Sweet Greens next door as they are more filling and not as expensive.

The sandwiches are great! Recommend the chicken parm. However, I was appalled when I saw the plastic cutlery. We have a plastic/microplastics crisis that is impacting our oceans, water, food supply and our health (now tied to colon and lung cancer). DO better. Compostable cutlery and containers are now being adopted by serious businesses that don’t just care about the bottom line. It’s for the benefit of everyone and this planet!
