If you want true latin taste. You must come here. I've been coming here for years and the service is always great. Food is delicious. You can't beat their prices. Highly recommend this place.

Rumba's Cafe is not just a coffee house, it is an immersion into the atmosphere of Latin American fiesta, where every sip of coffee becomes a small journey through tropical latitudes. Located in a secluded corner of the city, this cafe radiates warmth and hospitality, beckoning with its bright interior and seductive aromas.
Once inside, it's as if you are transported into a colourful world where the walls are decorated with local artworks, the music is rousing, and the air is filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and exotic spices. The atmosphere of Rumba's Cafe sets a positive mood, disposes to communication and relaxation.
Rumba's Cafe menu is a kaleidoscope of flavours offering a wide choice of coffee drinks, from classic espresso to original Latin American variations. Here you can try traditional Cuban coffee, flavourful Colombian coffee or spicy Mexican coffee. In addition to coffee, the menu offers various snacks, desserts and Latin American dishes prepared according to authentic recipes.

Casual Spanish food spot with amazing flavor for a great price. Also, you can’t beat the portion size. I got the pernil and my sister got the fried shrimp. This is a must visit!

Pros:
- Good pricing on items
- Delicious food
- Some friendly staff (See below)

Cons -
- Can't take an order correctly by phone or verbally. They never write down anything and say it's your fault if you get something you didn't order.
- Bad customer service. Can't correct orders when given specific instructions
- Cheap on portions. (examples: ask for ribs and you get small amount of meat or just bones. A boatload of rice instead of meat. Drink cups are always sticky as the wait staff always spills it all over).

Always order online or eat there for a better experience.

If grabbing takeout check your bag (they will not provide or forget utensils, napkins, lemons, sauces)...and the wait staff gets mad when you check the bag in front of them (even though you spent your hard earned money there)

There is a very reckless waitress, they throw the food at you on the tables and they do the same when they serve you on the plates.

On accident, while walking back to my car, someone bumped me and I dropped my lemonade. I go back to ask for another one and explained my situation, the employee just stands there like I had three heads. Really great customer service if you want to feel nonexistent. No resolution so I decided to buy another one. Horrible service. -1 star and that’s being generous.

This place has a racial discrimination you are on the line for a long time and when other customer is just going in front of the cashier they will get the order first of the customer of the one who just came in. This worker are just unorganise you will be waiting for a long time. And they will also give you a wrong order. Many times i order ice coffee they will give you hot coffee. I also don't undersrand why they don't speak english when they are here in america. They are giving wrong order because they cannot speak english. Just frustating.
