Mendocino Farms, Palo Alto CA

I absolutely love Mendocino Farms. The food here is always so fresh, organic and healthy. I love coming here.

I love the superfood quinoa salad - so delicious and healthy. Good sized portion. I think the thai mango salad is okay - its just that there are large and small pieces of the salad (like large pieces of chicken, with smaller pieces of salad leaves, so it is harder to eat).

Regardless, I love using the app to order food ahead of time so that my food is ready when I come pick it up.

Parking is easy - free street parking.

Service is fast.

Restrooms available.

Large indoor and outdoor dining available.

Food is absolutely delicious, the turkey sandwich with avocado YUM, I did a build your own salad. Everything was fresh and tasted wonderful. All the cookies are delicious, I tried them all.

Ordered “FOR HERE” check says for here, did their QR CODE to table scanning check number so they deliver food to us. What do they do? Completely ignore all “FOR HERE” and put our food into a to go bag. We sat there for 30 minutes waiting (they’re not that busy, not by any means full), finally got annoyed and walked up to counter to find bag. See all labels saying for here and marker writing to go. So idiotic, want the money back, useless cold food. Ugh, never coming back. Ruined my lunch and mood.

The photos don’t do justice to these sandwiches. So much flavour! Will be recommending this place to everyone and will be returning

I love, love the fresh items and being able to customize my own sandwich. Just beware of the time you’re ordering (lunch rush hour for ex.) when ordering online/ over the phone. Also, be sure to specify each time if you would like your sandwich lightly toasted or not (I’ve had multiple sandwiches way past toasted and because I am hungry I will still eat them.)

Delish high quality food at a great price. Excellent for vegans and vegetarians.
The curbside pick up is a nightmare if you don't know exactly where it is, as MF is adjacent to one way streets, so getting to curbside is awful. Once you are there, reception is bad, so you end up waiting many minutes for a parking space, then you end up walking in for your order anyway because the link doesn't work.
They needed 45 minutes to make a sandwich at 11: 45 am.

I stumbled upon Mendocino farms by luck while in Palo Alto on a visit. When I checked the reviews, everyone seemed to like the food so I decided to try it, not expecting much.
I had the Mama Chen's chinese chicken salad and it was AMAZING! The ingredients were all so fresh, the lettuce was perfectly crisp and there was just the right amount of every ingredient. The crispy wontons were such a treat and I don't usually enjoy the wontons but these were perfection. The dressing was so yummy that I saved some of it to use later at home.
I also had the turmeric lemonade which was absolutely delicious. I'm glad I discovered Mendocino Farms and will definitely be back to try the sandwiches and soup.

I ordered pink lady beets salad- with instructions of NO Chicken. But it was present in my order.

I called them again to inform about the wrong order they prepared.after long hour call, they agreed the mistake and prepared the same salad again (I told- No chicken).

At the time of pick up, I reconfirmed from the staff there, they said yes it has “no chicken”. But it again had chicken

I assume either the staff making salad are in hurry or they don’t read the instructions carefully. Or they have staff shortage so that everyone can pay focus to order they are making.

My mother doesnot eat chicken and items having chicken. Unfortunately I failed in getting this salad for her (it was my favorite).

I ordered online. I came in around 5: 45 upon entering cashier was on his phone texting. That's not the problem, the problem is if I am spending 30 dollars on 2 salads and 1 had browning vegetables that's something to be irate about. I could understand maybe 1 or 2 pieces but when it is at least majority of it that's a problem. I work for the food industry, and one of the rules is would you serve that to your family. Food for thought.

Palo Alto Mendocino Farms Location is great. The food is always great and the service is very warm and welcoming. Victoria always has a smile on her face when I walk in and makes sure that I am well taken care of when she see’s me. There’s nothing like great service, a great staff, and great food. That will always be a recipe for success and retaining customers like myself.

Amazing place to eat healthy food with awesome arquitetura, great service and you can work with your laptop + chat with friends!

This is hands down the best salad option in the area, doesn’t compare to sweetgreen or others. More options, ingredients are fresh and there are multiple options on the menu (healthy and not). From their ready menu I love the crunchy quinoa and avocado, their pearl curry couscous and caprese sandwich. They also offer great catering service

Never disappoints! The Modern Caesar was delicious. The outdoor seating was perfect. Not pictured the amazing vegan Bahn Mi sandwich. Service was fast and the restaurant was very clean.

The food quality and quantity was great, but was extremely disappointed with the food prep. We order the food online at 9: 30 am to have it ready by 12. But food was prep for delayed by 35 mins. I had lunch meeting didn’t get to my meeting until 12: 45 PM.

For this reason I am not sure I will ever come back to this restaurant again.

Nice place to have a more healthy meal. I had the Vegan Banh Mi and Vegetarian Chili, my Texan friend ordered the Impossible Taco Salad and my wife had the Prosciutto and Chicken. Everyone was pleasantly impressed with the food.

The tofu banh mi was on ciabatta instead of traditional toasted baguette, which was very saucy and made the bread soggy real fast. The flavors were fine and liked the jalapeno. The side salad with the combo was not the best, extremely oily and barely any kale for a kale salad!

Great spot for lunch with sandwiches, salad and soup. Many different lemonade and tea options. Lots is seating space indoors and outdoors.

Great location and great staff. Especially Luisa! She is always smiling and she is a very hard worker.
