Nutrition Breakdown: What the Numbers Mean
At 950 calories with 43g of protein, the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon is the #10 lightest of the 12 items in the sandwiches lineup with published calories . That works out to about 4.5g of protein per 100 calories - a reasonable protein return for the calories. Treat it as the whole meal, not a starter.
The watch-out is sodium: 2270mg is about 99% of the 2,300mg daily limit in a single item - balance the rest of the day accordingly. Saturated fat sits at 10g (50% of the 20g daily value).
Dietary fit: this item appears on our gluten-conscious menu and high-protein menu lists. It can be made gluten-free on request with the gluten-free bread swap. Allergen-wise it contains egg, wheat, gluten, sesame, seeds - the full item-by-item breakdown is on our Mendocino Farms allergen guide.
How It Compares in Sandwiches
Across the sandwiches lineup, the lightest option is Vegan Banh Mi at 670 calories, and the heartiest is November to Remember at 1120. For protein, Chicken Parm Dip leads the category at 46g of protein. On price, Chicken Pesto Caprese is the easiest on the wallet at $13.92 - $15.30. See the whole lineup on the Sandwiches menu page.
Ordering Tips & Smart Swaps
- Gluten-free: ask for the gluten-free bread swap when you order - the rest of the build stays the same. Say "allergy" if it is one; the team handles prep differently.
- Sodium balance: at 2270mg this is one of the saltier items on the menu. Pair it with a fresh side rather than a second seasoned item, and go easy on salty food for the rest of the day.
- Make it the meal: at 950 calories this stands alone. If you want a drink with it, the unsweetened Passion Fruit Black Tea adds almost nothing.
- Skip the app markup: ordering this in a delivery app costs about 20% more than the cafe price. Order ahead for pickup in the official app instead - the full breakdown of how Mendo pricing works explains why.
- Feeding a group? This item travels well - see the Mendocino Farms catering guide for box and tray options.
