    Traditional beef, Al Pastor, Creamy Corn, Spinach Artichoke, and Caprese empanadas
    Ashley T.

    Such a hidden gem! We accidentally stumbled on this place as we were heading out of town but will 100% be back next time we're in the area. It's in a bit of an unassuming place next to a gas station but we were blown away with the food and the service. The little boy who took our order at the door took his job very seriously and was kind and offered great recommendations. All orders are baked to order so there was a small wait but the food came out so fresh, flavorful, and delicious! The owner came out with a home-grown flower with our order as well which was a nice touch- you can definitely tell they put a lot of love into what they do. Highly recommend supporting this small family-owned business!

    HAVE TO VISIT THIS PLACE! The food is the best thing you'll find within several hundred miles! I was passing through and had to make a pitstop before heading home. The owner and staff are so friendly , attentive and helpful with recommendations. There's a nice seating area right outside, it is by a gas station but its not bad by any means. Definitely stop by!

    Al Pastor Empanada

    I'm in town every year for a wine event and my friends and I make sure to always have Empanadas from Vinoma. It can be a little confusing to find since it shares space with a gas station. There isn't any indoor seating but they have some tables outside. We take the food to go so it works perfectly for us. There were 9 of us this trip and got a cool variety. The employees are always friendly and the food is packed nicely. There are good assortment of empanadas to choose from. The categories are: meat, vegetarian, vegan, breakfast, and dessert. I pretty much like all the ones I've tried but my favorite is the Steak and Cheese which is steak, American cheese and caramelized onions. Another of my favorites is the Plum and Bacon. It is plums, bacon with fontina and mozzarella cheese; such a good, savory sweet empanada. The Apple Crisp is a great empanada for dessert! I would say 3-4 per person if you are treating it as a meal will work. I definitely recommend!

    We stayed for the weekend in the Sonoma area during the winter break holiday recently. There was a popular tapas spot close to our hotel so we wanted to grab picnic food to go before heading out to the wineries. We arrived at Vinoma on a Sunday afternoon. The Argentinian restaurant is located next to a Shell Gas station in a nice small plaza in Rohnert Park. Parking is accessible in the medium size parking lot. We were not able to go inside the restaurant as there was a sign in the front to ring the bell for someone to come to the door and take your order. It was different but the staff were friendly and helpful. Once you order, you wait in your car and they bring your food to you. There are a few tables for dine in on the patio. We ordered a creamy corn empanada, traditional beef empanada, plum & bacon empanada, al pastor empanada, and a bacon egg & cheese empanada. Everything was fresh, authentic, and delicious. My favorite empanadas were the traditional beef and al pastor. Along with the flavorful meat filling, I enjoyed the crispy flaky crust as well. The sauce and pica de gallo provided went well with the empanadas. The presentation of the empanadas in the box was appealing and delightful. I appreciated the little menu in the box to inform you what you ordered. The little flower was a nice touch. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Vinoma. It was nice to try some legit empanadas from an Argentinian restaurant. Price point was fair. Glad we were able to run into this gem in wine country. We hope to be back next time we are in the area.

    Fantastic! Can't wait to go back!! Everything was great. The spicy beef is very tender and flavorful.

    Al pastor, buffalo chicken, spinach & artichoke, spicy beef & steak & cheese

    Came at 10:30am on a Sunday. They are on the side of the gas station, and you'll ring the bell at the door to order. They did say they were still warming up their oven upon our arrival, so we didn't get our empanadas until closer to 10:50! Just a note in case you are in a rush. You can order online as well, but it looked like only 11am was available when I looked. The empanadas were on the smaller side, but they were tasty. Buffalo chicken - a bit saltier than the other empanadas, but it was still good. Spicy beef - juicy and tasty. Was more of a mild spice. Al pastor - good taste here as well. I prefer this over the buffalo as it also comes with salsa and aioli sauce. Spinach artichoke - my wife really liked this one. Very filled. Steak and cheese - really hot with melted cheese. Tasty with chimichurri sauce.

    Food- Great selection with some really creative empanada fillings. We ordered 4 of their top 5 popular items: spicy beef, bacon plum, corn cream, spinach artichoke and also ordered two dessert variety - blueberry cobbler and peach empanada. Their corn cream has a good generous portion of corns with balanced texture of creaminess to it. I love their bacon plum empanada. It's really delicious, tasty and the crust was incredibly flaky and crunchy. Ambiance- this is a pickup only store, next to the gas station and you can order ahead of time for pickup. They have 1-2 tables outside if you like to eat on spot. Service- fairly quick and really nice gesture with the two fresh lovely dahlias they provide along with your takeout order. See my pics attached. Since we are on a road trip and too full to try, we are saving the rest of the empanadas for later. Would come back again next time I'm in the area.

    Add this to the gas station finds, excellent empanadas! I've found the most excellent Mexican and Gyros in random places. Vinoma does not disappoint. Order at the door or online and the bring it to you car...super friend and happy folks here. They even included a tiny bouquet with order. We shared 6 among us 4 as a very light snack. Could get spendy as a full on meal.

    My husband and I just finished eating lunch across the street from this place but needed to get gas, so we stopped at the Shell to fill up. As an avid Yelper, I noticed this place and looked it up, only to find that it has almost 500 reviews and 4.9 stars! So I told my husband that we absolutely must try it! And I'm so glad we did. We stood out front perusing the menu for a few minutes when Brian (owner) came out to see if we had any questions. We talked with him for a few minutes about all the things and he gave us some great recommendations and we placed our order. We waited about 10 minutes or so and he came out with a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers (in a drink cup so it fits perfectly in the car cup holder) along with a box of gorgeous empanadas!! I love how they provide you with a menu that also serves as a key so you can determine which empanadas are which. Even though we had literally just eaten lunch and were totally stuffed, we ate the plum and bacon right on the spot so we could at least try a fresh one before getting back on the road to travel to our destination, and I'm so glad that we did! The plum and bacon was the perfect balance of savory with just a hint of sweet - the bacon was crisped to perfection and the cheese was perfectly pull apart melted - such a great snack. We devoured the remaining empanadas for dinner once we got to our hotel and they were the perfect dinner and dessert (we got savory and sweet). Every single one that we tried was great but I think that the traditional and the spicy beef might be my favorite. This entire experience is the reason why I love exploring and being open to what you discover along the way. I'm sure that many people drive right by this place, questioning why a good restaurant would be attached to a gas station. Well, those people are completely missing out. Stop and give this place a try! You will not regret it!

    First time visiting Rohnert Park and a quick internet search told me that Vinoma was the top rated spot in town. I pulled up 10 minutes before close and was greeted warmly and enthusiastically by Brian. Despite the time, he didn't rush me and was knowledgeable about the menu in terms of flavors, serving size and specials. I ordered 5 different empanadas and a dessert, but I wish I could have ordered more and had room to eat them because every thing I had was delicious! First time in town but would definitely come back just to eat here again.

    So many options + special empanadas not in the menu, ask!

    Fire!!!! The empanadas are so tasty! You gotta order at least a dozen! If not more! I ordered a dozen and all so tasty! I'm coming back & telling all my friends!

    We saw all the great reviews and decided to give Vinoma a try. We expected something "extraordinary", but unfortunately, it did not turn out that way. First, we were surprised to find there was no indoor seating, and that someone comes out of the door to take your order. It felt strange. Plus, the restaurant shares a parking lot with a gas station. We ordered a dozen: 2 TRADITIONAL BEEF, 2 STEAK & CHEESE, 2 HAM & CHEESE, 2 BUFFALO CHICKEN, 2 AL PASTOR, 2 SPICY BEEF. Our favorite was the Al Pastor. The ham and cheese ones were too salty, and all the rest were either just ok or simply not to our liking. Overall, we were disappointed. We thought we were going to enjoy it based on all the good reviews, but in reality, we were forcing ourselves to finish the food. We honestly don't understand why this place has so many good reviews, maybe we are missing something, or maybe it just wasn't a good day for them.

    This place serves empanadas unlike any I've had before. I'm used to the traditional, closed half-moon style, but here, they're laid out flat like a pizza. I tried the plum and bacon, al pastor, and blueberry empanadas. I was a bit unsure about the plum and bacon combo, but it completely surprised me -- it ended up being my favorite! I was genuinely blown away. I had no idea empanadas could taste this amazing. They also include a small dried flower bouquet with each order, which was super cute. The only downside? It's too far from where I live. If it were closer, I'd be here every day!

I am fortunate to live in San Francisco where you will find international foods from all around world. There is one region in the world which are known for their empanadas also their meats. It seems the focus recently has been in the region of South America in 2026. The country of Argentina is famous for winning the World Cup in 2022 and is favored in the 2026 to repeat as World Cup Champions. Argentina is also has a region named Patagonia which is the rival jacket to California's own North Face jacket when it comes to jackets among the tech workers in San Francisco. There is a place in San Francisco which serves meat dishes which are served from a food truck in the city Tourist Trap. On a 2026 Fisherman Wharf stroll I went to Tanguito. This place has lots of beef dishes like the steak sandwich with cheese along with the cheeseburger. I wanted to try their empanadas. I got the ham and cheese empanada. It's was delicious and had it was pretty cheesy and it was a little flakey like some in SF. The ham was savory and tasty. I will come here again and try their different meat dishes. Come to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and try some "Argentine" meat "cuisine" and get the Argentina chimichurri which is a sauce that's "green "and Tanguito is a great addition to the San Francisco food "scene" South America is known in the soccer and now the political "arena "but you can come to a place in Fisherman's Wharf that serves food from "Argentina" just less than a mile from the "Marina "and a block away from the new "Taco Bell Cantina"

The platter was great, the beef especially was perfectly medium rare and was tender thru every bite. The roasted vegetables included in the platter included Brussel sprouts and cauliflower which were also beautifully caramelized.
