Food is fresh and very tasty. Several choices especially for my vegan friend. Prepare to wait for your food though, that's why docked one star.

Took way to long for an online order to be ready. Person putting online orders out whispers the name so low that you have to get up and check every order for the name. You can't have your doors propped open without a fly fan being a food establishment. Wonder what else they think they can get away with behind the counter? Maybe the health dept should stop by

I'm old. I don't get this place. Definitely an A+ for service, God knows they're trying and everyone's friendly and helpful but it just feels like an overpriced vegan/trendy thing that caters to people who want to know their food's pronouns. I tried some vegan mushroom sandwich and it was good. Weird but good. I can't complain about the prices too much since I know every retailer in 4S Ranch is probably paying through the nose. In a way I really want to patronize the place and help them stay in business. My only real complaint it cleanliness. I've been there three times now and I've gotten to the point that I just understand you have to go to the restroom, get a wad of paper towel, run it under some water and a squirt of soap then had back to your chosen table and get to work. To be fair, the did put the word "farm" in their name so I guess these are "farm rules", right? Clean your own table, bus your plates, etc. I think I come here out of morbid curiosity not because I'm a fan. "That looks weird. I wonder if I can keep it down? I'll order that and see how things go." So far the food has been excellent, no complaints, it's just.... Weird.

Service was quick. Although it's pretty loud inside. The people and music combined. Kinda hard to talk amongst one another.

Ordered catering for a work lunch event and the service was excellent. Friendly and helpful staff made sure everything was taken care of. A big thank you to the Mendocino Farms team. If you are thinking about ordering and picking up food for a group lunch, this is a great spot.

I absolutely adore this restaurant! ? Every meal feels so fresh – the lettuce and avocado are consistently amazing. The atmosphere is lovely, though service could be better. Understandably busy during dinner, so table turnover takes a bit. But hey, the food's fresh and made-to-order! ?️ Plus, it's conveniently close to home. Easy choice for a delicious and healthy option! ??
I ate their Thai Mango Salad sub with tofu and thus has topped to be my favorite dish so far. The Thai almond dressing has a spice to it and I absolutley love it. The ramen noodles mixed with all the greens, dried shallots, and roasted almonds are an A+ for textures in Salad. I love all the herbs in it too! Definitely try this salad.

This place is not pet friendly. There's a rude manager and in my opinion my pet is so much cleaner than her or their floors. I rather carry my pet out and forego their sandwiches. So if you have pets that you care about this is not a place to be.

If you are in the San Marcos area, don't forget to stop by here for some delicious Filipino food. They also cater. Not one dish I have tried here so far has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. My favorites are pancit, adobo, sinigang, sisig, and their bangus. Great staff service. Place is clean, bathroom well maintained, and this place has some cute farmhouse style decor. I definitely recommend this place.

I love the food and drinks here so much I practically come here once a week... one fatal flaw: the portion sizes of the salads are wildly different. I order the modern Caesar nearly every time I go and every time whether I'm dining in or taking out I never get anywhere near the same amount/size of the salad as the time before. Some days my bowl will be overflowing with food that takes me half an hour to finish and others (I kid you not) I will get maybe five bites of salad that's gone in less than three minutes. The problem is even worse when ordering to-go where the bowl is either so stuff the lid is nearly popping open or it's so empty it's mostly air. Pictures included - I know the angles aren't great but one bowl is overflowing while the other has maybe half the amount :( womp womp

Ordered the “Not So Fried Chicken” sandwich and it was outstanding. Gent who rang me up answered all questions and pointed me to the potato salad - an excellent option. Also pleased to discover they had several beers on tap. Great experience!
