March 6, 2024 630 pm The restaurant was not busy. We were the only table. We were ready to order and had to wait for the wait person took a phone order. The wait person seemed very disorganized. When we did order, I did not time how long it took but, it took a long time to get water and a tea. The food also took a long time to come out and when it did only my wife's came out. I had to wait for my burrito to come out several minutes later. My burrito was good, my wife said her meat was dry. During our meal we had to listen to a very loud grinding noise. I had to get up and go to the bar to get our bill. As I paid I asked what is that noise? Our wait person said I can shut that off. It was nice and quiet after that but, we were on our way out the door. Overall, this was not the same experience we had on our first visit. February 8, 2024 615 pm We walked and and noticed several things; seat yourself, not busy, clean, well lit, and warm. We were greeted by the owner as we walked in. The owner is also our waiter. The drinks in the menu are listed as fountain drinks. I do not know if the means Coke or Pepsi, or something else. I saw a beef burrito on the menu, I asked if they could make a chicken burrito. I got my chicken burrito and it was awesome. I have no problem giving this restaurant my recommendation!

Hello RJ, thank you for your detailed review about your experience here at Rumba's.
It was a pleasure having you and your wife here that night, I also had fun talking to you.
Anyways, we will see you back soon!

What a great find, on accident! I flew in for a 24-hour business trip and took an Uber to a Middle Eastern restaurant but when I got there they were closed.
My driver was Cuban and he and I had a great conversation in Spanish the entire ride.
When I inquired about a Latin restaurant he took me here instead.
Everything about this place is top notch from the service to the food.
The owner is the waiter and is the nicest guy ever, thanks for letting me practice my Spanish with you Noé!

Mr.
Beasley, thank you for your visit here at our Family Owned Restaurant.
It was a pleasure serving you and we hope that we get to see you back soon! Agradezco sus comentarios y halagos sobre nuestro servicio, esperamos verlo pronto aqui en Rumba's :)

Love the atmosphere.
Clean and ethnic decor.
Drinks excellent.
Rylan is a very hard worker and server.
Tostones Rellenos, empanadas and ropa vieja were delicious.
Mojitos needs to a little sweeter and more mint leaves.
Rumba drink was refreshing.
