Mendocino Farms Nutrition Facts

Mendocino Farms specializes in creative gourmet sandwiches and salads blending California fresh ingredients with global flavors like Peruvian aji amarillo steak, Baja-inspired goddess dressings, and Thai mango elements. The chain's San Jose location at 3090 Olsen Drive offers the standard menu of innovative handheld meals focused on quality proteins and seasonal produce. For macro-conscious diners, the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada (690 cal) stands out as the best order—its quinoa, black beans, and optional added chicken deliver balanced carbs, fiber, and sustained energy from superfood krunchies without excessive fats. The Chicken Parm Dip packs the highest protein at 46g in 940 cal, leveraging crispy chicken and melted cheeses for muscle repair post-workout. Watch out for the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon (940 cal, 38g protein), where bacon and chimichurri push fats high despite the lean steak base.

Opt for salads over sandwiches to cut ~200-300 cal while keeping protein solid; skip dressings on Modern Caesar (610 cal, 21g protein) for under 300 cal. Add chicken to VG/GF ensaladas for 30g+ boosts without ballooning macros.
