I can't believe I haven't written a review about Rubamba yet! I've been stopping here for a few…read moreyears and they've always been consistent with the Arepas. I like to switch up the type of arepa that I get and this time decided on the orange Cuban, which came with rice and sweet plantains. I almost wanted to lick my plate. It was so delicious!! Their tacos are pretty popular too, and some of the arepas are big enough to split. There are a couple of tables inside, but I know most people opt for a takeout.

Nachos: I third-wheeled to Rubamba with my couple-friend, and we got seated next to two more…read morecouples on a double date. All of a sudden I was ninth-wheeling. I felt like a lab rat mid-experiment, having a sudden moment of clarity that this fun maze might actually be a death trap. The older gay men beside me glanced at my empty seat before smiling at me with mischievous curiosity. They led with kindness and asked "how are those nachos?", but I knew they meant "why don't you have a date". When I answered with explicit detail about the flavor composition of the nachos and they burst into laughter, I watched the "ah, that's why" land on their faces in real time. Fair. A girl's gotta get her satisfaction somewhere, and in that moment, it had been from the even cheese distribution. The nachos were quite nice, actually. Could've used a bit more beans. And a lot more heat. Incidentally, and according to the four gay wise men, so could my love life. All else: a familiar redhead walked past the window and I said, "I know that redhead from somewhere", turns out it was Conan O'Brien. Second-tier celebrity sighting of the night. First tier was our waiter, sweeping the floor with a little rhythm in the hips. I love when people are so caught up in their own world that the noise fades out. It made me smile.

The fresh juices were delicious, and the Chicha Blanca was a unique treat (like a drinkable version of rice pudding). The arepas were fantastic with flavorful fillings. However, the highlight of the meal was definitely the Venezuelan-style hamburgers and hot dogs. They were absolutely massive, piled high with meat and toppings, and packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly kind, and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for the summer months.

I also did the shredded beef and plantain and beans grilled. Steak and cheese arepa was the star, so crispy, juicy steak, cheese seared. I could eat it dinner every time. The other arepa was decent, it just had the mistake of going second, shredded beef felt slightly dry. It was al little pricier than expected, the steak was 14 and the shredded beef was 11. Will be back to try other dishes!

Food is ok I have had their combo plates with the roasted pork, chicken, rice and beans along with trying the different types of empanadas they offer. Meat is a bit dry it sits out under warming lights waiting to be served. Beans are good and the rice is too. Customer service is rough Pricing is a bit high in my opinion as they fill the container with rice and beans and then put a little bit of meat

The bar area is nice and the seating area isn't the biggest but it gives a more intimate experience. I had the street corn to start and although I'm a fan of on the cob it was still just as good off and the chips to dip with were so good too. Then I got the barria tacos with queso. I tell you those were the best barria tacos I've ever had. I'm not really a dessert guy but the service was so great that I was convinced into getting the tres leches and it did not disappoint. This was overall a great experience and I can't wait to come back again for "Taco Tuesday"!!!

I ordered the horchata and birria rolls. Thr horchata came in a mason jar mug, not the biggest and was pretty good. The birria rolls were good too. My boyfriend had a burrito which was massive. My mom had a mojito pictured. The decor is phenomenal. They just moved to this location a few months ago. The bathroom is elegant. There are photo op opportunities. I found the prices too be to high for the food, but I guess you are paying for the ambiance.

Costa Peru has been bookmarked in my Yelp list for a while, and on my birthday, my mom asked where…read moreI wanted to go for dinner. Milford's restaurant week was happening, and Costa Peru was on my list, so I decided to go there. My family ordered seafood, while I went with the Peruvian Chicken Wings topped with Peruvian Barbecue sauce, Ceviche Chicken Wings, and Lomo Salado. I was particularly curious about the Ceviche wings because I'd never heard of them before. The ceviche sauce is inspired by Aji Limo Ceviche, a lively Peruvian dish featuring fresh, raw white fish like sea bass or flounder "cooked" in lime juice, seasoned with citrusy, spicy Aji Limo peppers, red onions, and cilantro. It's usually served with sweet potato, corn, and leche de tigre (tiger's milk), offering a tart, spicy, and refreshing flavor. The Ceviche wings were fantastic. They had a bright citrus kick, and I could taste all the distinct flavors, including the spices and chilies. They really hit the spot. The barbecue wings were just as enjoyable, with a sweet yet tangy sauce and perfectly seasoned chicken. The Lomo Salado was also a hit; the rice was fluffy and full of flavor, and the tender Lomo meat practically melted in my mouth. For dessert, I ordered the flan. It was my first time trying it, and I was curious about the taste. Honestly, I didn't care much for the texture, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. My son picked the Passion Fruit Cheesecake, which was pretty good. It's not something I'd order again, but I'm glad I tried it. The service was excellent, and I'm definitely looking forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu.
