We celebrated my daughter's graduation dinner at Rumba Cubana in Clifton on January 13, 2026, with…read morea party of 25, and I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. From start to finish, the staff and manager were absolutely phenomenal. The service was attentive, organized, and warm, especially impressive given the size of our group. The food was delicious and came out timely for everyone, which made the evening run smoothly and enjoyably. What truly set this experience apart was when our daughter's graduation cake unfortunately fell and was ruined. Without hesitation, the manager went out personally and purchased a replacement cake for her. That level of kindness, professionalism, and genuine care is rare and deeply appreciated. To top it all off, the bill for 25 people was very affordable, making the night even more enjoyable and stress-free. Rumba Cubana turned what could have been a disappointing moment into a truly memorable celebration. Exceptional service, great food, and outstanding management -- we will absolutely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

Looking forward to trying the ribs.

We shared the pastelon empanada. I little shocked at the price but It was worth it!!! Between the flavors and the old salsa playing it took me back home. I'll be back . Although it's a good 35 to 40 minutes away for me , it was worth it! Cute place in a very small store front . We lucked out with parking. It's metered , (bring quarters) till 7:00, but I can see st. parking being an issue at times.

I wasn't able to pick a favorite. We probably sampled all of the appetizers and I can't say enough about how tasty all the food is--I'm talking finger ticking, lip smacking, chewing noises kind of good. I will definitely return!

We got the picanha which was very good and juice along with the maduros and rice that complimented the meat very well. The cazuela was very well seasoned. The paella, however, wasn't my favorite, it lacked flavored in my opinion. Overall a very nice place, would def come back.

I ordered the Chicharrones (of course) and the Pollo Guisado with white rice, black beans and it came along with the sweet plantains as well. All of the food was really good and the Chicharrones ... literally the BEST I've had despite them being served in larger chunks which I at first was skeptical about lol but would literally come back just for them. The portion was also enough for two people to share so I'll be having the leftovers for lunch. I'm glad I decided to finally try them.

The service is on point and Rebecca, the barista is so skilled! I saw her making a ton of orders for customers coming in and she's a pro! I love the ambiance and the decor. I did a little work and if I lived in the area, this would be my go to place to bring my laptop. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. The footlong Philly cheese steak was very good and you can share that with two people because it's big! Unless you're super hungry! The owner let me record him making an espresso and that was really cool! I highly recommend you try this coffee shop.

Came to this Colombian cafe for a quick breakfasat and was disappointed. The ambiance was very…read morepretty, set up to take pictures for social media, but the bakery party was a total miss. My husband ordered a chicken empanada and it was filled with chicken and rice and not fully fried. When I asked the server to fry it some more, she brought a new one out that was a bit more fried but just as pale as the first one. The inside was not tasty at all and it was definitely not colombian. Then there was the stale Colombian beef empanadas. These were probably the worst of all. We also ordered a bread that we asked if it was filled with cheese, the server said yes....and it had ham and cheese, so my son did not eat it. This could've just been a miscommunication, but most places tend to clarify when it is not just cheese, but also includes something else with it. The menu is very small, so I decided to order a burger which was made with pulled beef and was actually delicious. They also have Colombian style scrambled eggs and coffee which my husband liked. If it's just based on food I would say it was 50/50 your chances of getting something tasty, but because the service was not attentive or friendly (we were the only people in the cafe for awhile), it is not a place I would return to. Maybe it was just an off day?
