Hidden Gems of North-Central Connecticut

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — For the second week in a row, we present a Hidden Gem that isn't necessarily hidden ... if you know where to find it ... or hire it.

It's another food truck — this time Brazilian Gula Grill, based out of South Windsor.

The colorful truck can be found at area festivals and can be hired out for catering.

The menu is based on family parties that featured long and colorful rows of authentic Brazilian dishes.

Check out the menu here.
