I attempted to get a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich and left empty handed.
First I asked for the spicy ingredients to be on the side. I was told there was hardly any spice, but they could accommodate that. It arrived covered in a chile aioli. It was so spicy I wasn’t able to eat it. When I took it to the counter I was told to dump it in the trash myself. “What would we want your food for,” was what was said back to me.
They made a second sandwich, forgot half the ingredients and didn’t cut the sandwich. It was prosciutto, nuts, and bread thrown on a tray, making it hard to pick up. The peaches weren’t ripe and were hard as rocks. The sandwich fell apart when picked up. I was given a refund and left hungry.
The staff seemed to think this interaction was typical and had reasons why they had cut the first sandwich but not the second, how they could give me mozzarella so I could finish making the sandwich myself on my tray…the whole thing was absurd for an $18 sandwich.

I had a terrible and unsafe experience at this restaurant. I **clearly told the staff I cannot eat pork**, not only for personal reasons but because I have a **serious allergy. Despite that, they served me a sandwich **that contained pork**. I took a bite before realizing something was wrong, and when I asked about it, they admitted it had pork — but acted like it was *no big deal*.
I ended up **getting sick** from that bite, and instead of an apology or concern, the staff member I spoke to was **rude, dismissive, and even raised her voice at me**. Completely unprofessional and absolutely unacceptable.
Food allergies can be life-threatening, and this kind of negligence and attitude is dangerous. If you have any dietary restrictions or expect basic respect from restaurant staff, I strongly recommend staying away from this place.

Terrible, very disappointing experience, the staff is very reckless and disrespectful, made fun in a very miserable way about my religion and that we do not eat pork, we clearly explicitly asked if the sandwiches have pork and they said no, after couple bites we discovered that they do! Went to the cashier and she said ok! Its not a big deal. Very dismissive

Several vegan options (most are non vegan that can be made vegan with modifications — clearly labeled on the menu). The vegan banh mi is delicious!

My pre-order was MIA but I chatted up a staffer who looked for it in their system, decided somebody may have taken it, and made me a fresh salad on the spot! ❤️

1 hour wait for pickup after the website said 10 minutes. The wrap was soggy and had way too much dressing on it. Also had a hair in it. Disappointing.

They cut my sandwich in half with a knife that was covered in the ingredients/sauce of another person's sandwich. Extremely unhygienic and frankly disgusting. Do not go here if you have allergies.
Mendo Farms is the kind of spot that turns skeptics into salad believers and sandwich lovers into loyalists. Every visit is consistently solid, like clockwork but tastier.
The Not So Fried Chicken sandwich? A masterpiece. Crunchy enough to feel sinful, but technically “not fried,” so your conscience stays clear. And the Peruvian Steak sandwich? Smoky, tangy, a little spicy—it’s basically a culinary mic drop.
But the real flex here? Their salads are wizardry. Somehow hearty, fresh, and balanced without ever feeling like rabbit food. The portion ratio? Chef’s kiss. No sad lettuce pile here—you’re getting flavor-packed bites all the way down.
Whether you’re grabbing lunch between meetings or fueling up for a Stanford stroll, Mendocino Farms keeps it casual, creative, and ridiculously craveable.

Never had it before. My wife ordered me a not so fried chicken sandwich. The first bite I knew I would never come back. The sandwich is so sweet it could be on a desert menu. The BBQ sauce made it even worse. It is trying to be too trendy. It is even worse tha Panera. Wanted to like it but not good.
