Our Story
Marin Gourmet's philosophy of "Farm to Table" began over thirty years ago with founder and matriarch, Affi. It was her passion to create fresh, gourmet healthy foods while capturing the phenomenal flavors of the Mediterranean, from where she immigrated over thirty years ago.
Today, staff trained by Affi keep her dream of fresh, clean food alive. Marin Gourmet remains a Bay Area family business committed to creating all natural, vegetarian products made from fresh ingredients, mostly local produce, grown right here in Northern California.

Handcrafted Empanadas
Our signature empanadas are made fresh daily using traditional recipes and the finest ingredients.
Our Empanadas Story
It all started during the pandemic—when borders were closed, passports were collecting dust, and wanderlust was at an all-time high.
Our founder, a globe-trotting flavor chaser, missed one thing the most: the joy of discovering new cultures through food. So, he brought the adventure home.
Blending the comfort of golden, flaky empanadas with bold flavors from around the world, he created a travel-inspired menu that lets your taste buds take the trip—no packing required.
We make our empanadas fresh, with real ingredients, no shortcuts. It's small-batch love, wrapped in dough, and baked to perfection.
