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.

The the green mayonnaise is to die for!! Food was delicious and the price did not weigh on my pocket. Definitely coming back.

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.

There's nothing else like it. All the dishes and food are excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to eat really good food.

Delicious and autentic 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!

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.

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