The BEST BRAZILIAN catering around. Not only do they come with delicious food that they cook in front of you, but also come with entertainment upon request Pimenta came to Bbq my sons 2nd birthday party, and it was the best decision ever. My sons half Brazilian and it was only right we have Brazilian food at his party. It was such a success and Maria and her husband are so loving, fun and great company. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Highly recommend hiring them for your next event.

Not sure how we found them, but SO glad we did! Communication was fast, they're both so super friendly and patient with all the questions. Planning a wedding is hard and not knowing how food tastes and whatnot is worrisome when your paying good money. Well fear not!! Look no further!! Don't hesitate!! They are AMAZING! We are so very happy we found them and used their services. They provided a tasting closer to our wedding date, made the trip all the way to Camarillo springs.. We also didn't have a grill for the tasting so they brought a little one to make it work and it was delicious even then, but what a difference in flavor for the actual wedding the food was even better!! It was so Tender and flavorful. We have such meat eaters and Everyone raved about the food and apps! My mom the pickiest love it. The flakey filled pastries were FIRE! Very organized and know what they're doing. Like I forgot to include dinner for our bartenders or videographer, I didn't even think about it, but they did. Small details. They worked with us to stay within our budget. They brought containers for left overs.. we just have so many good things to say.. we hope to have a reason to host them again. Don't think just book them. I will continue to refer. Ty again. The only thing I would do is ask them to make sure that a staff member goes directly to bride and groom or maybe make a plate and bring to them bc we always forget to eat. It's just a nice touch of service. But it's normal, like bride and groom are off somewhere, not with everyone so it's easy to not make it to the couple and I should've designated a person in my party for that. But there's nothing negative to say at all. Thank you guys so much!

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.

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!

Just finished hosting my birthday party catered by Pimenta! It was nothing short of perfection! From the set up, layout, service, and clean up they did a great job! We had the dancer come out and dance with all the kids. The kids loved that! And really enjoyed themselves. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again!

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!

I just used this company to cater a formal 60th Birthday Party for my husband at my home and they were fantastic. The food was just amazing and the guests complemented the various food choices and everyone of them was just amazing. Marcelo was very professional and delivered exactly as promised. The service was great, they were clean and organized. They brought all they need with them to ensure nothing was missed. Great Food, Great Service and very Professional. I highly recommend there catering service.

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!
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!

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.

Outstanding service! They delivered exactly what we wanted for a wedding I was coordinating! Very professional and everything they served as extremely tasteful! All guests, Americans and Brazilians couldn't stop complementing the food!

(Translated by Google) I love their food, simple and very tasty.I like the food, I like the light seasoning, it seems not to use artificial seasoning.(Original)I love their food, simple and very tasty.Gosto da comida, gosto do tempero leve, parece não usar tempero artificial.

We hired this dynamic duo to cater an intimate, backyard birthday celebration for a friend. 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
