Mendocino Farms, Hangar Bar Now Open At Whole Foods Market Tustin

TUSTIN, Calif. – Whole Foods Market has partnered with Mendocino Farms to open a location inside its Tustin store at The District, opening Thursday, Nov. 17, at 2847 Park Avenue in Tustin. The restaurant opening coincides with the completion of a major remodel to the 60,500-square-foot store, with expanded product offerings and updates in almost every department.

Mendocino Farms is located in a new 140-seat dining area shared with the recently opened Hangar Bar. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., the location will offer its full menu of gourmet sandwiches and salads for lunch and dinner. Menu highlights include the Pork Belly Banh Mi, the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada and the Not So Fried Chicken, a lighter version of a cold fried chicken sandwich with shaved free range chicken breast. All menu items are made on site and meet Whole Foods Market’s strict quality standards. From Nov. 17 through Dec. 4, sales from its limited edition short rib sandwich, created with local chef Yvon Goetz, will benefit the Tustin Public Schools Foundation. This is the first Mendocino Farms location within a Whole Foods Market store.

"It’s a great honor for us to anchor the prepared foods section of Whole Foods Market with a full-size Mendocino Farms,” said Mario Del Pero, co-founder of Mendocino Farms. “This newly remodeled location is now one of the best food halls in Orange County, and we are excited to be involved.”
