@vanessasellscolorado: If you’re craving a new lunch spot this fall, Mendocino Farms deserves 30 minutes on your calendar this week. It just opened at The Promenade Shops at Briargate where Modern market was. Most of my weekday lunches happen in the car between appointments, so a good lunch spot with fresh and healthy food is a win. Big salads, good sandwiches, and warm soup now that the mornings are cold. The menu changes every couple of months, so there’s always a reason to come back. They’re open 10:30 to 9 every day, which also makes it an easy dinner on a busy weeknight when nobody wants to cook. With three kids, those nights happen more than I’d like to admit. Comment “LOCAL” for my 2026 Colorado Springs Live Like a Local Guide with all my favorite spots across Colorado Springs and Monument. I’m Vanessa Marquez, Colorado Springs and Monument real estate advisor, mom of three, and your go to for honest advice, local insight, and new lunch spots worth trying.
