Reviews for Mendocino Farms in Marina Del Rey, CA
My Ranking: * peruvian steak ($13.95) on potato roll plus Avocado ($1.75). STOLE the show. Was our absolute favorite. The... potato roll which tasted like brioche, was topped with a flavorful and juicy sauced up steak. The avocado was not needed andkind of made the sandwich mushy. * pork belly ciabatta bahn mi ($12.65) - an Asian American fusion bahn min. Not quite a bahnMi but extremely fresh tasting and amazing sauce. The thick pickled carrots and radishes were a nice touch. * not so friedchicken sandwhich ($11.75) - lightly breaded chicken with a generous portion of lightly dressed coleslaw on ciabatta. Wasvoluminous in size and tasted quite fresh. * Thai mango salad with ramen noodles with Thai almond dressing ($14.30) - tastedlike a unique an elevated Asian chicken salad. The mango was quite sour but didn't detract from the taste. The noodles were anice carb addition to the salad. A lighter healthier option than the other sandwich options. * Chimichurri steak & bacon on asesame roll ($13.90) - the sesame roll was too crunchy/hard/dry. Personally a very plain sandwich compared to the other choices.Flavors were straightforward as it tasted like Chimichurri, steak, and bacon. * Chimichurri steak & Shishito bowl ($15.10) -the pickled red onions were a great touch. Flavor was there, overall a very enjoyable and hearty bowl. Compared to the othersthe only downfall was the steak was a bit tough, some of the shishito peppers altered from bitter to spicy (althoughsurprisingly the bitter paired with the slightly sour mainly sweet pickled red onions and lemon was still quite tasty). Overalla very delicious & hearty bowl, just other items out ranked it. --- Love Mendocino for their taste but sometimes it can get atad oily would get again for sure :) The Culver City location has free 30 min parking in the garage and also a round aboutbehind the restaurant for quick pick up/loading zone.

5 stars for the pork belly sandwich. Quite good. 1 star for the kale salad. Who decided the portion sizes?? And where’s the... kale?? Fairly non-existent. Mostly fruit. If you want a real salad, go to a place like Sweetgreen. Read more
The food here is absolutely DELICIOUS! One day I went Mendocino Farms with a coupon for a free burrito of my choice, but I lost... my coupon somewhere on my way there and they honored the coupon anyway and gave me the delicious steak burrito AND they gave mea complimentary order of chips and a soft drink for free!

First time in Mendocino Farms. I ordered a salad with quinoa and avocado and it was excellent, no fan of the tortilla or no idea... why even suggest a tortilla with a salad. I had the mistake to order a soda bad bad idea the flavors are horrible to me, maybepeople likes those type of flavors, even was a bad idea the sodas still 5 stars the food, ok service. Read more
I have been coming here for years and love the not so fried chicken sandwich! Recently the menu changed and now the bbq sauce... that’s offered is a tangy mustard sauce and after trying it on my last order I am not a fan….after a long week I orderedtonight and was desperate for the old bbq sauce, the woman on the phone was so kind and laughed at my desperation for the oldsauce. She said she would see what she could do, if there was anyway they could make some or include it. To my surprise when Ipicked up my order they had a large side of sauce in my to go bag and it did not disappoint!!! Shout out to such a kind afriendly team going out of their way to make my night :) Read more
SO UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED- DON’T BUY THEIR SALADS. I would give them 1 star or less but, I do enjoy their sandwiches. I... haven’t been to Mendocino farms in quite sometime and finally went and ordered a sandwich/side - which were great. In additioni ordered a “Drake Salad” and received this wimpy salad. I ended up having to add more lettuce to it because it was such asmall amount. I also subbed chicken for tofu - which was 3$ extra just to substitute it. In total i spent over 15$ for this sadsad excuse of a salad. I could go to Trader Joe’s down the street and get a 4-5$ salad for more lettuce and toppings. Truly awaste of money. Don’t buy their salads as it’s not the same as it used to be. (box of tea for size) Read more
High quality wraps and sandwiches full of wholesome goodness you believe at first bite. This is a chain that I like seeing when... I see it. Sure, they have blue cows. But they also serve super tasting sodas and you can test their side orders - like theirSuper Healthy Salad, raw and full of nutritious veggies. I love their curry couscous salad, at times it can be heavy, but insmall doses it's so comforting. Wine and beer served here. A few vegan options that are seasonal and always changing so youdon't feel stuck to the same menu. My favorite thing has been the samosa dosa vegan wrap, it was full of Indian curriedpotatoes, cauliflower and peas. Please bring that back and I'll be back. Indoor and outdoor seating. Free parking.

Man, these sandwiches! They're certainly not cheap but boy, they're good. I recommend the Peruvian steak, succulent and... delicious. Plenty to take home for later too, which makes it good value for two meals. Would definitely recommend Read more
