the founder story

Premium, chef-driven sandwich market and seasonal salad powerhouse born from the vision of husband-and-wife duo Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen. Launched in 2005 Mendo turned the humble sandwich shop into an upscale, farm-to-table culinary experience. Mario and Ellen partnered directly with local ranchers and organic farmers retaining their artisanal soul. Famous for iconic builds like the 'Not So Fried Chicken' sandwich and their legendary Avocobbo salad, Mendo is perfectly engineered to fuel collaborative corporate groups and high-performance teams across Silicon Valley's top innovation hubs.
