Mendocino Farms - San Diego

This place looked awesome, so the wife, kid and myself decided to try it out before the Padres game. I truly hate writing bad reviews, but I think this one is warranted. We waited under the sign that said Order Here for 15 minutes before someone told us we had to order from the Pick Up Food side of the restaurant. Keep in mind there were only 4 other small parties dinning. I'm definitely aware of online and phone orders, however we stood for another 10 minutes before someone decided to take our order of two grilled cheese, cup of tomato soup and a turkey sandwich. We then waited another 25 minutes for our food. Our grilled cheese sandwiches were cold, the tomato soup tasted like a Cambells can of tomato soup and the turkey sandwich was mediocre at best. So all in all, what was meant to be a quick bite to eat before the game took us over an hour, the food was sub par, and the customer service was dreadful. Yes the environment was very nice, modern and clean but we will not be dinning there in the future.

Me and the wife wanted to eat someplace outside of our hotel. We did not know what to expect here but we're looking for healthier food. Mendocino Farms did not let us down. I had an air fried Thai chicken sandwich that was wonderful. My wife had a salad with mango and chicken, also a winner. Both looked like works of art too, almost sad to mess it up by eating it. Service was great.

Great value and selection of sandwiches for a nice filling lunch! Can count on it to satisfy the grab and go tastes of California, fulfilling bites with their steak sandos!

The food is good, but be prepared to wait a really long time if you order in or if you order online for pick up. Every time I order it’s never ready and I usually have to wait 10 to 30 minutes longer than expected.

I recommend this place if you are in the mood for a great sandwich and delicious soup or salad. They have a variety of options vegetarian, vegan, meat eater, etc. I recommend the farm sandwich, it is delicious. Their customer service is amazing. They were super busy but found the time to check on us and went above and beyond to take care of our needs. They even helped us clear our table. I wish I would have found it earlier in my stay in San Diego.
