The most amazing dinner service we have ever had! We had a great time and it was due to how attentive everyone was. We didn’t even know we were running out of drinks and they immediately came with a new one to swap it, even though they were busy they knew. We had a great time and we will be stopping by more often!

The food here was delicious, I had ropa veija mofongo, it was amazing. My only complaint is very little workers spark english, so if you dont know Spanish you might feel uncomfortable. Besides that, Nice job Rumba

This was our first time at Rumba Cubana. We put in reservations about 45 minutes ahead of time o. A Saturday and had no problem getting the time we wanted.
The restaurant was full but we were seated right away.
It took a few minutes before our server arrived but we had great attentive service after that.
We ordered cocktails and just had a selection of tapas for dinner. All of food was good but the bacon wrapped yuka was amazing!
They were well...
