Samba Brazilian Cuisine

The quality of the food can really be captured from all the images posted. This is hands down some of the best food I’ve ever had. I really wish I could have tried more of their menu but I was only in Austin for a short time. However, I wasn’t disappointed with my selection. I ordered the #1 aka the Picanha bowl. The rice was cooked to perfection—not too tough or soft and you could see every grain. The beans were fresh, seasoned well and really complimented the meat. If you’re not familiar with Picanha it has a nice beefy flavor and very little fat. I’m usually a ribeye girly but the juiciness of Picanha is unmatched. For dessert I had the passion fruit mousse. I’m usually not a fan of eating seeds but these were very much edible and enjoyable. The only thing I would say is that the tables for eating weren’t as clean as I would have liked them to be but if I’m ever in Austin again I’d love to try the Xtudo burger. All in all, the prices are fair, the food is great and I believe they’re worth a visit.

Picanha bomb was really the bomb. Absolutely delicious! Bread was good, picanha was good and the other ingredients were a perfect pairing. The picanha kebab bowl was also good but if I had to choose I liked the bomb better. The coconut flan was incredible. It was warm, creamy, melt in your mouth awesomeness.

Don't make the mistake of ordering the empanada(s). They only only give you one, and it's absurdly tiny. Perhaps lost in translation but when you put an 's' at the end of a word, it means plural as in more than one. And they taste bland. The best empanadas in the universe are Dominican in Washington Heights in New York and they're $2 and twice as big and 1000x better tasting.

Ordered the Picanah Bowl and a Chicken Empanada through Uber Eats. The Picanah was a bit tough and a touch dry but it was tasty, flavorful. Rice and black beans were nicely seasoned. Very well worth the price for what you get on 6th street area for portion size and flavor. Chicken Empanada was tasty but I thought $4 was a bit much for the portion size. $3 would have been fine, but $4 ... hmmm. Idk, but I'm sure others would disagree. Overall would definitely order from the place again. Tasty food.

I had the chicken bowl and wasn't sure to expect out of a street food truck.. but I was so pleasantly surprised! This was some of the best Brazilian food I've ever had. I thought it was a great value for the price. 2 chicken skewers that were very well marinated and seasoned, rice, beans, (and a couple of random fries thrown in for good measure. lol.) The staff was so nice and patient with everyone. Food came out very quickly. I might have to make a stop just for this place the next time I'm downtown!

I had a picanha kebab bowl. The rice was very undercooked. Everything was salty.

I need to figure out where to begin. Kitchen is super clean, I watched them cook the rice while the pressure cooker was melting the beans. Crunchy yuca, spices on point and Rodrigo leaves his magic touch on every single dish. Me and my family ate 'crying' cuz it was so freaking delicious. We want more

This place is over priced and the portions are small. They also forgot my fries, so basically I paid for a $15 hamburger that was small and below average. Also after eating I had a bad after taste in my mouth and my girlfriend agreed to feeling the same. Don’t go here unless you’re blackout drunk and you have no other options. REPLY: How dare you insult my intelligence, you’re the only Brazilian food truck downtown on 7th street! Yes it was you! I even tipped you $5 before I got my food... you had your chance to impress me and gain a loyal customer and y’all let me down! Shame on you for not taking responsibility for my terrible experience!
