Advocado Quinoa ensalada 5/5 : one of the crunchy salads I’ve ever had. Great flavor palette and the bonus the avocado was seasoned and had a lot of grains definitely felt refreshed and good after eating this.
Great for a morning pick me up

There are a few locations but the one I went to after court was Located in the heart of downtown Houston, Mendocino Farms is more than just a sandwich spot — it’s a vibrant, inviting destination for anyone who appreciates fresh, bold flavors served in a laid-back, modern atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with upbeat vibes, stylish décor, and the warm buzz of people genuinely enjoying their meals.
One of the highlights of our visit was the refreshing selection of house-made teas and lemonades. Each drink we tried was packed with flavor — not overly sweet, but perfectly balanced with fresh, natural ingredients that felt as carefully curated as the menu itself. These drinks alone are reason enough to stop by, especially on a hot Houston afternoon.
Now, on to the star of the show: the food. I ordered the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon sandwich, and I’m still thinking about it. The steak was tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. The chimichurri sauce added a zesty, herbaceous kick that brought the whole sandwich to life, while the bacon gave it just the right amount of smoky crunch. The bread was perfectly toasted — sturdy enough to hold everything together but still soft and warm inside. It’s a sandwich that tastes like it was crafted with intention, not just thrown together.
My husband went with the Peruvian Steak Sandwich, and he declared it the best sandwich he’s ever had. That’s high praise from someone who’s usually a sandwich skeptic. He couldn’t stop raving about the combination of bold spices, sautéed onions, and tender steak. Each bite was flavorful, unique, and satisfying without being too heavy.
The staff was friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of the food they serve. You can tell they care about the customer experience and the quality of every item that leaves the kitchen.
Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, looking for a new go-to dinner spot, or simply craving something delicious and different, Mendocino Farms delivers. It's fresh, inventive, and satisfying — the kind of place that makes you want to come back the very next day to try something new.
Final verdict? A must-visit downtown eatery with creative sandwiches, standout drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you feel good just being there.

Waited thirty minutes for 3 sandwiches and a salad. Sandwhich was something I could have made at home. Disappointed to say the least. Salad is a joke and not worth 15 dollars. Buyer beware.

They got rid of the good sides!!! Now you just get a bag of plain chips and it’s the same price.

Ever since I had a farm club sandwich through their catering services, I have been obsessed! Love their fresh ingredients and the staff are exceptionally friendly & patient too :) I always look for them when I’m in the area lol even with the wait time during lunch rush, the food is definitely worth it!
