Mendocino Farms

Went here for lunch, great option as everything is marked as gluten free or can be made gluten free. They noted it all down on my order and had no issues or reaction!

Had the gluten free chicken pesto sandwich. So good! They did ask if it was an allergy. I ordered online so I did not see the prep area. Was a delicious sandwich and I did not get sick.

The Caesar salad was good and marked as completely gluten free. I asked about the dressing and what the crunchy bits are that were listed. They looked through the allergy book and assured me everything gluten free. The crunchy things were fried quinoa. While I know quinoa is gluten free I do not trust that they were fried appropriately. DO NOT GET THEM! I don't feel well and that's the only thing that it could have been.

Gluten free labels are on the menu for things that aren’t usually gf, such as the Cesar dressing and chipotle ranch dressing on their “gf” salads. The grill and toasters are shared but I was offered fresh gf bread as substitute. Overall very polite staff but it is not on my best safety rating

Such a good lunch! My mom and I ate here for our first meal while awaiting check in at our nearby hotel. We split a chicken pesto sandwich on gf bread as well as the avocado quinoa superfood salad. The girl who took our order was so personable and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend for anyone staying in downtown San Diego.

Had a wonderful sandwich here, 100% recommend this place. Chicken, prosciutto, pesto 😍 and GF bread was perhaps best I’ve ever had.

i LOVED the gf sandwich i got from mendocino farms in san diego. the gf bread was really good and the woman at the till was understanding about my having coeliac disease and she made sure that the staff kept my sandwich separate from the non gf sandwiches :) highly recommend but do make sure you let them know if you are coeliac !

Ordered a sandwich on gluten free bread and asked the cashier to note a gluten allergy (I know it’s not an allergy).

She did and then went on to explain to me their procedure with a dedicated toaster for the gluten free bread. And warned me that it tastes so good you will think it wasn’t gluten free but it is.

She was right! That was the beast sandwich I have had since my diagnosis and I wanted to cry tears of joy while I ate my sandwich.

It was a little pricey but 100% worth it!

I grabbed a bag of Dill Pickle chips because yum! And certified GF. Bonus! They have soups and salads sides with gluten free options as well.

The food is excellent; tasty sandwiches and salads. They have multiple gluten free options and can prepare items celiac-safe.

If you order a gluten free sandwich they do not cut it. They bring you a clean knife so that you can cut it yourself, assured that no cross-contaminated cutlery was used on it.

You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table.

This is a good option for a fast casual lunch with GF salads and some sandwiches can be made gluten free. I like the pick lady beet and goat cheese salad. My husband got the pesto salad.
