Samba Brazilian Cuisine

Fantastic Brazilian food in a fairly new food truck park on mcneil. SUPER friendly owner who is extremely proud of his culture and food, and is happy to explain anything about any of his handmade food. Pictured here is the picanha bomb - as you eat it, you get these juicy steak fat bites that explode with flavor 💣. Real ones know picanha is one of the elite cuts of beef. We also went the other day and got empanadas, which were cwispy with delicious fillings. The homemade mayo on the side was great too! If you’re in the area, check it out!

Rice, beans, farofa, and steak with onions… Just imagining it brings tears of nostalgia to my eyes. It’s the taste of home, of warmth, of a full table. Those simple, comforting dishes that hug the soul and make your heart smile before the first bit

The food is delicious and authentic! It’s hard to find real Brazilian food in Austin that doesn’t cost a pretty penny. Samba was great, will definitely eat there again.

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.

Stopped by for a late night meal and everything was incredible. Great kebabs and rice and beans, really friendly and genuine owner, and loved meeting his pup, Katerina. Highly recommend stopping in.

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.

We just had the Pecanha steak skewers with rice and black beans delivered, it was amazing and we will definitely be ordering from this place again often.

Best burgers I’ve tried in such a long time! They’re super close from where I work and every chance I get to get burger, I take it. Super friendly and amazing food!

I have nothing bad to say about this place! I'm serious, the service and the food was some of the best I've ever had in Austin. The man who owns and operates this food truck is a very talented chef who is very passionate about his food. He recommended the best items and when we tasted it, we couldn't remember the last time we got so excited about food!! He recommended a dish for me that wasn't on the menu. It's made with super tender pieces of meat, sausage, and beans. It came with a side of rice, greens, and grapefruit to refresh your palate. It was incredibly delicious, well balanced, and everything had flavor!! It was a great choice. We also got the chicken coquettes that were fried to a nice and crispy texture but were so moist on the inside. You have to put the green mayo on top!! People go crazy for it!! The empanadas were also amazing, they were so flavorful and moist as well. The cheese empanada was my favorite, even the cheese had amazing flavor. They come in big and small sizes so get the big ones!!

Great food! The only Brazilian food I've tried was at one of the steakhouses and Samba is 10x better! I typically get the chicken skewer bowl and the meat is very well seasoned, juicy, and has a great char. We've also had the beef bowl and it was equally as good. The Xtudo burger is really! It's huge and definitely worth the price

We have been to Samba Food Trucks several times, and every visit has been outstanding. We have truly never had a bad meal there. The first time, we tried the Picanha Bomb, and it was absolutely delicious. Since then, we can't stop thinking about the coxinha, fried yucca, and pastels (the cheese is my favorite!), as well as the Saturday feijoada special. We even invited the entire family over yesterday to enjoy the feijoada, and it did not disappoint. It was a huge hit with everyone. And I can't leave out the passion fruit mousse; it is simply amazing and the perfect way to end the meal. I highly recommend Samba Brazilian Cuisine on McNeil in Northwest Austin. It is a true gem and a place we will keep coming back to.

Best Brazilian food truck around! The burgers are top tier! You won't regret it! Get a true taste of Brazilian cuisine at Samba.
