I ordered Sabas while they were parked outside a brewery. I ordered the pork Cole slaw carnival. Very fresh ingredients and tasty food. Well priced.

Really enjoy a surprise food truck arrival to our home complex. Especially Samba’s and their massive yet affordable chicken sandwich with bacon!

Besides the fact that the food is amazing and always comes in decent portions, the owners are extremely friendly and personable. I always try and stop by locations that Samba's is at

we've had the pleasure of enjoying Samba's food truck at our school twice this year! love the fish tacos and fries... my only regret is that I didn't have cash for a tip, but I'm hopeful they'll be back soon so I can fix that! Lovely people, wonderful food!!

Had the chance to try out this place as a food truck. I had the X Chicken sandwich it was amazing! Made just like it is in Brazil. Normally I have a X Burger so I had to try out the chicken and it did not disappoint. The chicken was super crispy tender and juicy. The beacon was thick and crisp. The bun was toasted to perfection. If you can fit your mouth around it you know what I mean and will make you want more. This is a traditional late night power sandwich that you will love. Check them out.

Debating on going to trivia... check out the food truck that's going to be there. After looking at the menu and seeing pictures, it was a sure thing we were going to find Sambas Cuisine. We started with the beef empanada, which was so delicious we didn't have time to take a photo. I feel like a good way to judge a Latin-inspired food truck is through their empanadas.. and Chef Izolda's didn't disappoint. Everything that can later followed suit. I had the Fish and Chips and my girlfriend had the Fried Chicken. It was a little bit of a wait, but well worth it. Everything was incredibly fresh, fried and juicy perfection, and packed with flavor. All the sauces were A1 compliments -- the garlic sauce was so good I actually almost fell over when I took my first bite. We stopped to pay our compliments to the chef on the way out and she exuded joy, gratitude, and passion for her craft. We will definitely will return!

Know Good Food market of food trucks had its last opening on Bartholomew Street. The Carne Frita con Tostones was highlighted on their menu board. I was starved so tried this. The tostones were great and there were five of these big babies right out of the fryer. The carne frita was, however, a different story. The meat was very irregular and real tough. The mayo/ketchup sauce helped but didn't finish [a new one for me].

A absolutely fantastic food truck! Try the fried chicken and yucca fries. So good! I'm at back east brewing and Samba's food truck is here. Second time I've had this food and beer. A perfect combination so check them both out for sure.

Food is fantastic! Had the Coxinha aka chicken croquette, generous portion, perfect spice in every bite and the sauce that came with set it off nicely! Also had the beef empanada and was nicely seasoned and perfectly crispy and again a generous portion. My husband had the Brazilian style pork tacos with slaw on top, nice portion slightly less flavor than the other items but over all a well prepared and executed dish. 10/10 would highly recommend, going to try the jibarito sandwich next time along with the frango a passarinho com mandioca!!!!
