I've been to Mendocino Farms before, but not this location, since this is their new spot in Porter Ranch near Northridge, California. We came here because it was a school night, where they donate a percentage of the proceeds to the school. I got the Golden State Cobb, which has applewood-smoked bacon, avocado, a hard-boiled egg, blue cheese, lolli-bomb yellow tomatoes (which I substituted with steak as my protein which it’s an option to add to the salad for a few dollars), pickled red onions, chives, balsamic glaze, romaine, kale, mixed greens, and rustic red wine vinaigrette, but I substituted it with Caesar dressing. You can't go wrong with a salad at Mendocino Farms. My wife got the Caesar salad with chicken, and my son shared a kids' meal, though I forgot exactly which one he got at this point in time. How it works here is that you order and pay at the counter, then get seated. When the food is ready, they bring it out to your table. If you have any extra requests, like additional dressing or something else, don't hesitate to ask the person bringing your food they'll be happy to help. The ambiance and décor are your typical greens and blues, and the place feels very welcoming inside. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again, as I love the food every single time. You guys here at Mendocino Farms will definitely see me again soon. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something on the healthier side, as they use fresh ingredients and include things like chia seeds, flaxseeds, and more. Also, there is plenty of parking as you can see because it shares the shopping center with other places. Don’t want to keep you guys for much longer, so I guess I’ll see you next time.

Mendocino Farms has a really cool, upbeat vibe with a clean and modern feel. It’s a great place to grab lunch and hang out without feeling rushed. The guava lemonade was the surprise hit, super refreshing and flavorful. Solid food, good atmosphere, and an easy go-to spot when you want something fresh and satisfying.

Very disappointed in the salad. I ordered an $18 salad and expected something fresh and well-prepared, but this was far from it. The chicken came in large chunks that required a knife to cut — not exactly what you want in a salad. There were more lettuce hearts than actual chopped greens, the kale was completely missing, and the greens that were included were left in large, whole pieces. It was nearly impossible to take a normal bite without feeling like I had to stuff my mouth. The bacon was burnt, and the egg yolk was aa white as the egg white and made me question if it was fresh. For the price, I expected something at least halfway decent. Unfortunately, this missed the mark completely. Really disappointed in the quality and preparation.
