Mendocino Farms
Mendocino Farms pays tribute to the county in Northern California that is known for its support of the slow food movement and sustainable farming. This area is famous for its unpretentious “down home” love for artisan food and drink. It is our inspiration!
Our approach is a little different than most of the other guys – we like to play with reconstructing the “fine dining” entrees to the sandwich level, and take classic regional sandwiches and give them a modern interpretation.
Mendocino Farms is all about the sandwich. We have great prepared salads, sides and soups all inspired by our local farmers market, but at the end of the day, we want to be your local sandwich shoppe!

Loteria Grill
Since opening at the Original Farmers Market in 2002, Loteria Grill has become synonymous with the very best regional Mexican cuisine; handmade tortillas, refreshing aguas frescas and a fun, familial vibe. Chef Jimmy Shaw presents a deep menu of regional Mexican specialties, guisos, and salsas, as delicious as what he grew up enjoying as a kid in Mexico City. We like to call it a future craving.
Today, the original Loteria Grill at Farmers Market is a must-visit LA institution for locals and tourists.
