They did my wedding dinner catering and I got so many compliments on it. First of all everything was very professional. Marcelo was very easy to get in contact with and helped me organize my dream menu for my guests. He's very accommodating which I really appreciated especially with how crazy wedding planning can get. The service was amazing with the Gauchos. Each one was kind and made the environment feel welcoming. Now for the food... amazing. All the meat was tender and so flavorful. My guests were full and happy. The set up for the salad/ sides table was beautiful and clean. There was always food replaced for guests who wanted seconds or thirds and they left the remaining leftovers for us after dinner service was over. Overall I would highly recommend and would have them cater again for future events. Wonderful service, food and very clean and professional. read more

I had my wedding banquet in my backyard, and we picked Pimenta because they are really transparent that they don't have an extra charge on the invoice - only what they mentioned on the website. It's also because my partner stays in Brazil some of the time, and we were engaged in Brazil, too, so we wanted to have a Brazilian BBQ at the party. And I could tell the taste is the same as in Brazil! Pimenta is owned by a Brazilian couple, Marcelo and Maria, and my partner informed me that they speak Portuguese to each other. So it's really authentic! Premium BBQ Combo Appetizers: Classic Chicken Coxinhas, Cheese bread (Pao de Queijo) On-Site Grilled BBQ: Premium Picanha Steak, Toscana Sausage, Chicken Party Wings, Grilled Shrimp Buffet Salad: Tropical Salad, Brazilian Vinaigrette Buffet Hot Sides: White Rice, Black Beans, Tomato Penne, Mixed Veggies Dessert: Pudim The food was all incredibly tasty and amusing. All of my friends, family members, my colleagues, and even my boss enjoyed the food so much!!! We were a little bit worried because they didn't provide a tasting session, but the food is truly amazing, better than what we imagined. And the portion is so big that we couldn't finish the food with 36 guests! Marcelo and Maria are great too. Easy to work with We will find them once again if we host big events again! Definitely recommended! read more

AMAZING 10/10. We hired Pimenta for our wedding and they completely exceeded our expectations. Although the photos look amazing online, it is somehow even better!!

We hosted a company lunch and everyone absolutely loved it - that's 200 very happy customers! I've never gotten so many comments for any of the lunches we've hosted. The food was delicious, service fast - wait time in line was minimal. The experience is very unique as they cook on-site. The rich aroma while they do certainly makes you hungry and ready. Everyone who came to serve us was extremely friendly and courteous. I highly recommend them! read more

5 stars isn't enough. Marcelo from Pimenta Brazilian Catering absolutely delivered and then some. His customer service before and during the event was excellent but the food itself was out of this world. It's a great experience to have the taste of Brazil brought to you but their team makes it happen! I would love to have him do future events definitely a must! read more

We had steak, sausage, chicken, vegetables, rice, beans, salad, and pico. The employees LOVED it and raved about it. I would use them again for sure for another event. A lot of people took business cards to use them at their own personal events as well. Their set up was quick and efficient. I would highly recommend them for your next event. read more

Pimenta catered my baby shower during 100+ degree weather. They were so nice and the food came out amazing. Their picanha was by far one of the best I've tasted, juicy and cooked to perfection. Provided everything from tables, food warmer, and grill. Marcelo was really accommodating during the whole planning. Will definitely hire them again, likely when it's not 100+ degrees. read more

I celebrated my 33rd birthday at my house. I found Pimenta on instagram. When I called Marcelo, he was very easy-going to explain and accommodate when I was trying to make my plans and help me customize the perfect catering package. The communication was great. Despite the uncertainty, of what the weather was going to be like Marcelo was able to have resourceful preparations to make sure everything goes as planned. The food was absolutely amazing. I've been to Brazil a few times and I've had the privilege to go to some of the best Brazilian restaurants in Southern California. This experience definitely set the bar. Not to leave out, if you're going to have this amazing experience you must have the samba dancer. The best taste of the culture. Everyone was just friendly and full of great vibes. We loved the energy. We highly recommend you book them immediately. Thank you again! read more

From beginning to end, I cannot recommend Pimenta Brazillian enough. They made booking easy and were quick to respond to questions and were flexible when we increased the headcount. When they arrived, They were professional and courteous, and worked with us on the setup. The food was delicious and well presented. We were all very pressed with everything, and the price was reasonable. At the end, we had a ton of leftovers that they packed up for us. They really did everything, and it was one less thing (a big thing) to worry about as we hosted family and friends. I will consider using them again when the occasion arises and will definitely recommend them to others. read more

What a great experience we had with Pimenta catering. They went above and beyond, apart from the delicious food, the elegant set up and nice service was worth every penny. We had my husband's birthday in my back patio and the catering was the main attraction. I cannot recommend Pimenta enough! read more

I don't even know where to start! The overall experience was 10/10 but I need to highlight some points! Once I decided to go with Pimenta Brazilian I contacted Maria who promptly replied to my text. She helped me with booking, picking menu options, explaining how the set up was going to be... Maria was so attentive and thoughtful! She is literally the BEST! On the day of the event Maria and her team arrived on time with all the supplies needed for the catering. They brought the grill, tables and table covers for set up, utensils, plates, napkins... Everything! I didn't need to worry about a thing! The food was DELICIOUS! All guests didn't spare words to say how much they loved it! Once party was done... They cleaned everything and set up all the left overs in containers so we could enjoy it after! As far as I could say for all the events I've hosted they were the best!!! Thank you Maria and team for cooking us DELICIOUS legit Brazilian food! Can't wait to have another party with you! read more

Sooo good!!! Thank you so much for taking care of my party yesterday, everyone loved the food and were very happy

We hired this dynamic duo to cater an intimate, backyard birthday celebration for a friend, with all the grilling done onsite, because nothing whets the appetite like BBQ aromatherapy . We ordered the Full BBQ combo for 10, with rice, beans, salad, bread and yucca flour, along with pao de queijo to start and pudim to finish. The meat was amazing, grilled to perfection, the sides sublime, and their presentation turned our backyard into an outdoor restaurant. And they are just the nicest people. Total pros, too. They arrived, set-up, cooked, served and broke down in about three hours. We can't wait to have them back! Pro Tip: Order the pudim read more

Food is not as advertised at all. Don't get fooled. They gave me a discount but they will give you less food and low qUality meat. Also, you pay for 4 hrs of service but they stayed 2 hrs bc " guests are leaving". The contract is for 4 hrs, they should stay the full four hours and serve us. They also said they provide the grill but try to use my small grill because they're too lazy to set up their own grill. This is not the kind of Brazilian bbq you want. I do not recommend. These food was also cold and small. Stay away! read more

Maria and Marcelo catered my birthday and everything was FANTASTIC! My guests loved the food and couldn't stop telling me how tasty everything was! I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to experience what a real Brazilian BBQ is like! Marcelo brings his Gaúcho/Southern roots to the grill and the result is spectacular. Definitely want to have them back! read more
