Mendocino Farms

TERRIBLE. I ordered the mot side fried chicken salad with avocado added and extra chicken. $19 salad. Didn't put on the avocado. No barbecue dressing. All to mention, the salad itself was horrible. The chicken tastes like a foot. I could not bring myself to continue eating it. Horrible. $19 for feet salad.

I'm not a huge soup salad and sandwich fan, if I'm going to go out for lunch I usually want something more than what I can easily make at home. So when my coworker recommended we eat at the new Mendocino Farms I wasn't expecting it to be anything special. We arrived right around 11:45, and there was a good amount of people in line and already seated, waiting for their food. It's counter-order and then they'll bring your food to your table, and my only complaint is that process could be much easier with table numbers, or buzzers, or literally anything other than each employee walking around with a meal, asking each table if they're name is 'Melinda R?' Inside and outside. I ordered the Prosciutto & Chicken Sandwich with the pesto pasta salad, and a house made lemonade. Everything was delicious! I especially loved the lemonades they have- the turmeric lemonade was my favorite! They also had Rosè and regular, plus a few tea options to pick from as well. But the sandwich! That was the star of my meal. Lots of meat, layered with the veggie toppings on tasty toasted bread. It was done perfectly. I can't wait to come back and try other options available, there were so many that looked delicious I think it'll be even harder to choose knowing my first visit was so delicious.

I have yet to try something that I didn't like here. Every time I go, I try to get something new. Food is delicious and fresh with friendly and helpful service.Only down fall is the wait time. I recommend ordering ahead of time and picking up or get there before 11:30 to dine in. It's still a good 15 mins (at least) to receive your food if you dine in.

located at Two Allen Center facing Smith. good food options. staff is quick + efficient during peak lunch rush.

I want to give this place 5 stars because I love the food and the manager, Erica, is awesome but how can I when you can't order a fountain drink online or through the app? So you take all this time to order your salad or sandwich so you don't have to stand in the long lunch lines only to find that you can't complete your order if you want one of the delicious fountain drinks they offer.

This cafe opened downtown a few weeks ago, bringing new lunch options to this end of downtown Houston. I ordered the Sweet Heat Crispy Thai Chicken. I will have to order hotter next time, medium heat gave me nothing. I enjoyed the sandwich, though. Two chicken strips, thai slaw, and sriracha mayo, YUM. The Oaxacan Potato Salad was a nice surprise! I also tried the Chicken Tortilla soup and that is where they dropped the ball. I am sure there are many ways to make this soup. When the soup came to me, my first though was "I didn't order Tomato Basil soup!!" It really was tomato basil soup with chicken. I'll know not to order that again. Other menu items look good. I will go back and try their salads.

A GREAT fast-casual option for lunch while working or staying downtown. Service was fast and friendly and the ambience makes for a great working lunch. Highly reccomend!

Love their food and super fresh too. It gets super packed during lunch hours so I suggest ordering online and doing a quick pick up. Must try curried couscous.

Do you like your lunch as ordered? Or do you prefer the excitement of lunch roulette? Will the order be correct? Will it be complete? Pay your $20 and spin the wheel of misfortune to find out! This location just cannot get orders right. Extra dressing? Nope. You can't have it. No tomatoes? We'll give you extra tomatoes. Pay extra for gluten free bread? Enjoy this regular roll instead. They have one job and about half the time they just get it wrong. For. Place that rings a bell to make sure all team members know who tips and food that costs a fortune they should get the orders right. They don't.

Really good food and good service! Also a really cute place to get brunch 10/10 recommend!
