Mendocino Farms

Fresh ingredients and fearless flavor combinations create unexpected culinary adventures.

Mendocino Farms makes sandwiches feel like a full set of choices at its Park Place location in San Mateo. The menu includes a Peruvian-inspired steak sandwich with aji amarillo and a chimichurri steak combination, alongside chicken with pesto and mozzarella. We like that the sauces, cheeses, and breads give each sandwich its own direction. Vegetarian choices such as the caprese sandwich provide another starting point, while salads offer an alternative to bread. The menu also includes vegan selections, so a group can explore different styles of lunch together. Local beer and wine are available at this location, and catering extends the sandwich-and-salad format to larger gatherings. Mendocino Farms' appeal is a casual meal with enough attention to combinations that choosing lunch can be more interesting than simply picking a protein.
