Mendocino Farms

Service was helpful, informative, and friendly. Somebody is on hand to answer questions about the menu. You scan a QR code that's on the table to signal where your food is brought out to, pretty neat. It's super clean and and airy inside. This is the place I'd meet someone if I wasn't sure I'd enjoy their company haha. Fast casual feel and the food is brought out quickly. The food itself is better than the fast food junk you might go for on your lunch hour. It's healthier and and tastier. Good range of different types of sandwiches and cold sides. Would've appreciated some hot options that weren't soup. They also have fresh lemonade and juice!

Located in downtown on the heart of Main Street, this location caters to the downtown corporate lunch crowd. Interior is spacious and clean and they even have an extra staff there to literally stand by their menu and answer questions. Got the pork banh mi ($13) and a side of Mac salad ($5). The banh mi is extraordinarily overpriced compared to any other banh mi, and more so since it's just on a ciabatta bread and not an actual foot long baguette. The flavor combo and sauce was surprisingly solid, so that's a plus. Flavor wise, this is a solid 4/5 for sandwiches. Value/portion wise, it gets a 3/5 for me; most of their sandwiches are the size of a ciabatta bread and hovering around $13, which is quite steep considering the alternative lunch options nearby in Chipotle, Halal Guys, etc. Solid 3.5 star joint!

Food was fresh, tasty, and good! I actually had no complaints. I do recommend this establishment to family and friends.

Food it good for a fresh feeling food I usually got for a salad. Service is good not complaints, and ambience is good nothing super fancy very casual.

The vibes, price, food, and people are just as hipster and yuppie as you'd expect. But I mean this in b the most positive way. Everything trialed was tasty. But I would literally crawl 1 mile on hot coal for the curry couscous. Holy moly!!! Sooooo good. One of the best side dishes I've ever had! Also really enjoyed the hot honey peach? And the chicken caprese sandwich. Didn't try the Thai mango salad (a true salad lover)but my friend enjoyed island what I saw, looked fresh, plentiful and tasty. Service was great! The place is definitely a "happening" spot so don't expect a quiet brunch or lunch. Final grade: B+Definitely going to go back. Might try some if their other locations.

Listennn.. I thought I'd had a good sandwich before.. but this is top tier. #1 sandwich on my top 10 list. I got the not so fried chicken sandwich delivered through favor. Package was real secured, I like the minimalistic packaging style. So good, amazing, I'm a sauce girl, didn't dip it once. I forgot to even eat my chips until after. Don't ever change. oh I forgot the cookie, baby. ‍ just get the cookie.Update: I went back. Man so so good. Even better the second time. SN: did you know, they fill they chip bags all the way up. Name another brand you know moving like that. Enough for my whole sandwich eating experience.

Good food portions and variety. The sandwiches are really good. Friendly staff.Ample seating options, either inside or outside.

I had lunch at this Mendocino Farms location this afternoon primarily because they had a great promotion for the Houston Marathon - buy one, get one free - if you show your race bib. I love Mendocino Farms so I couldn't resist, plus this location was really conveniently located to my hotel. Despite downtown looking a bit desolate (combination of a Monday holiday and some sort of arctic freeze), I met a friend for lunch and enjoyed the peace and quiet in the restaurant! The staff greeted us and were so welcoming, ensuring great customer service. For food, I ordered my go-to, the Pink Lady Beets & Goat Cheese Salad with the dressing tossed in and a side of the Spicy Curried Couscous while my friend ordered Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad with the dressing on the side as she was nervous about how mustardy it might be. We both very much enjoyed the experience from start to finish, particularly our food! Generous portion sizes, fresh, and reasonably priced. I will continue to be a huge fan of Mendocino Farms!

Delicious sandwiches, salad & soups served in a clean, bright space with warm hospitality. I really liked the Banh mi and Fried chicken sandwiches, Thai sweet potato soup, and Pesto Pasta salad. Really fresh tasting and healthy ingredients. Must recommend for lunch in Houston Downtown!

Mendocino farms is located in downtown Houston and is a hotspot for lunch among the office gangs. I imagine trying to get here if you aren't already downtown is a rather unnecessary hassle. But for those of you who do find yourself downtown, this is a great lunch spot. Service is on the slower end in comparing it against the other nearby lunch hotspots. However, if you aren't in a hurry, the time is well spent for a fresh meal. They have a great selection of sandwiches and salads. My favorites are the following: - chicken proscuitto- chicken Parm - Mediterranean salad For sides: - curried couscous - dan dan noodles (this is relatively new)Pro-tip: they don't display them but they have coke and diet coke sold by the can. We can keep this secret between us pretend healthy folk.
