Mendocino Farms started as—and still is—a family business. Co-Founders (and husband-and-wife team) Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen created the concept in 2003, determined to lead through empowerment and build a thriving business from just a good idea and a lot of passion.

We strive to constantly stay on the culinary vanguard and push the limits of what a simple sandwich or salad can be, but that’s really just part of the intention behind Mendocino Farms. Conceiving of our sandwich shops as a means to build community helps us to elevate the restaurant into a resource. We hope our guests leave with the feeling that we’ve fulfilled more than just their hunger, and the desire to return for more than just the food.

At Mendocino Farms we choose to open our doors each day with the conviction that even something as simple as a sandwich shop can make a difference in peoples’ lives—that’s why we say that we don’t just sell sandwiches, We Sell Happy.
