Selva is a nomadic culinary project bringing the soul of coastal South America to life in Phoenix. Born from a deep love for Colombian culture and cuisine, our dinner pop-ups journey through the continent's diverse regions, transforming tradition into something entirely new. Our commitment is to creating unique experiences where the vibrant flavors of the coast meet the surprising bounty of the Sonoran Desert. Whether you join us at a public event or host us for a bespoke private dinner, we invite you to the table in the spirit of querencia—a profound sense of belonging. We hope to share that feeling with you soon.
