How It Works

Every event, personally handled

From empanada and taco bars to carioca bowls and passed appetizers, we tailor the plate list to your crowd.

Step Three

We Show Up & Cook

Fresh, on-site, with Chef Izolda and Gabriel leading the line.

Two Ways To Celebrate

Truck-side or plated — your call

The Wedding Touch

Personally served, every time

At weddings, Chef Izolda makes it a point to personally serve each couple herself — a small gesture that turns a plate of chicken, pork, and fish tacos into part of the memory. It's the same care every guest gets, from the first taco to the last empanada.

Samba & Favela Cuisine has catered university spring events, vineyard nights, and private celebrations across Central CT — with guests regularly calling the food a highlight of the day.
