Sampa Brazilian Kitchen - (Near Santa Cruz, CA)

5 /5 Benjamin Ow: My son had heard good things about Sampa from a friend and asked to try it. We visited Sampa last weekend with a 5 person family and the experience far surpassed our expectations. The service was warm and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious and a great value when considering the generous portion size, quality ingredients, and amazing flavors. The Fejoada was super flavorful and the sides of white rice, collard greens, orange, and farofa complimented and enhanced the Fejoada. The Picanha steak was juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor; a must try dish. The cheeseburgers with added crispy bacon and extra crispy fries were a hit with our 10 year old diners. The chicken Caesar salad was tasty too. The food was nourishing and filling; next time we want to try some of smoothies and/or good looking desserts. We look forward to eating at Samoa again soon!

4 /5 Marc. Wise: Great place! It has a nice cozy vibe with friendly service. My wife had the crispy maitacos tacos that she absolutely loved, especially the avocado sauce that came with it. My daughter had the Carne Louza which was nice and I had the Feijada, which was delicious. There were so many other interesting sounding dishes on the menu that I will definitely come back to try some.

5 /5 Charlie Root: Stopped by for lunch after seeing the reviews and it was great. Had the salmon and the portions were just right. Vegetables were tasty and fresh and the salmon with chipotle sauce was tender and cooked perfectly. Cant wait to bring the family so we can order multiple items. This place deserves the high review ratings.

5 /5 Jeff Walker: Im very picky when it comes to service and food—especially because Im Brazilian, and we tend to be quite demanding about these things. And since this is a Brazilian restaurant, I can confidently say I highly recommend it. It all started with Ronaldos service—exceptional! Hes cheerful, polite, and very friendly. We ordered the traditional "Feijoada" with meat, a Brazilian beer ("Brahma"), and ended with a "doce de leite" dessert. Everything was perfect! Natasha was also super friendly and courteous. The parking lot has plenty of spaces and is accessible for everyone. I highly recommend Sampa Restaurant!
