I am always a little nervous about "small plates" - like, how small are we talking about? I feel the same way about sushi. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this but surely I am not the only one, right? My husband and I came here for lunch. We ordered 3 items total and that was pretty much exactly the right amount of food. We got the chicken skewers, the chicken empanadas, and the fish ceviche. Everything was well-prepared and tasty. I always love sauces and those were good too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside, which was a little noisy due to streetcar construction, but it was a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pleasant music was playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dining room looked lovely and welcoming as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good. I liked it all - and I really loved the Topo Chico limeade. I didn't see it on the menu so you might have to ask for it. You should! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of this place is very cute with lots of greenery and a lively scene.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their drinks are strong yet tasty. They have a variety of tapas - I had the Peruvian ceviche with plantain chips, which tasted refreshing, but I had wanted a bit more flavor than just lime. Overall, loved the decor and vibe, but food was nothing too special. read more

Great experience, delicious food and friendly service. We stopped in before a show at the Orpheum, it was busy but the did a good job keeping up with everything. I enjoyed the wide selection of tapas. The carnitas bravas and fried cheese were my favorites! The show stopper was the Rosita cocktail. It was a full on show with fire. We'll be back to try more if the menu! read more

I can't recommend this place enough! My friends throw me a mini birthday celebration at Cumbia and our experience is fantastic! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service, the ambience, the food are all so great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The highlight dish is definitely the chicken skewer. That was our favorite but the tacos are equally great as well. I had their mocktails and they are oh-so-great. The server is so accommodating and friendly. I will definitely revisit and recommend to try at least once here! read more

My Sunday with my daughter. We went to Cumbia for dinner first for both of us. I am pretty new to Caribbean food but I have had empanadas once before. These were beef and potatoes and served with a sauce. Their cheese bites were pretty big, made with panco and served with a slightly spicy strawberry jam. They were so good and more than enough for two to share. I had a savory margarita and the daughter had a liquid sunshine mocktail. It looked so good I ordered one with added tequila! The waiter was helpful and accommodating, especially with the added tequila. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's the perfect place to go before a show at the orpheum.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Girls Night Guide! First time here with a group of 5 girls, here's a general guideline & recommendation for an awesome start to your night. Order your round of cocktails and place an order for dirty chips, olives and manchego cheese, and guacamole. After your first round and starters order roughly the following, substituting for taste! 2x Coxinha Brazilian sandwhich Carnitas braves Patacones & ropa vieja Anticuchos de pollo Picanha tacos Empanadas de carne Empanadas de queso This ended up being the perfect amount of food for all of us! The service was great, quick and helpful on recs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will say this is a place you want to come with a group and do something similar so you can try it all; these are tapas after all, not full plates!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The drinks were spot on and the tacos, shrimp ceviche, warm olives and manchego, and guacamole with fried plantains was devine! We will definitely visit again the next time we're in town. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Let's start off with it was busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside patio is not a place to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks sangria-water down and mojito tasted like sugar water. Food "looked" ok tasteless. Olives and manchego good other 3 tapas no. The only glimmer was the hostess was on point. Should be at a high end place, server was trying. Will we go back no.

I should have taken pictures, because the food at Cumbia was beautiful to look at, but it was even better to eat, hence the lack of pictures. My wife and I went here recently for a date night, and we really enjoyed everything. The menu is tapas, so we ordered a bunch of different food and shared, with the exception of one dish I would order everything else again in a heartbeat. We started out with a few drinks, which were very tasty, then ordered the house guacamole with plantain chips, the carnitas bravas, grilled chicken skewers, chicken and beef empanadas, shrimp cocktail, and Peruvian ceviche. All were excellent with the exception of the ceviche, there was nothing wrong with it, just compared to everything else it was fairly bland. The plantain chips and guacamole were so good together, way better than tortilla chips. If I had to pick a favorite I'd say the carnitas bravas, perfectly seasoned and just the right amount of crispy. Service was fine, the waiter took care of our needs and let us enjoy each other's company, I appreciate that. I'd say 4.5 stars overall, but closer to 5, very impressed. read more

Have to update my review! Came during happy hour with my coworkers/friends on my last day of working with them and to say goodbyes before moving. We came on a Monday and it was really slow. I forgot how picturesque it is in here! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is beautiful inside with lots of decor and my coworker even said he would love to have a house with the same aesthetic one day. It's gorgeous inside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good! I still think it's a bit pricey for the portion sizes and what you get but let me tell you the guac with plantain chips was really good. The Peruvian ceviche was also incredible. The beef empanadas were good too. I appreciate all of their mocktail options! There are so many. They also have so many tapas and is one of the only tapas bars I have heard of in Omaha. It reminded me of Spain and the amazing tapas I've had there. I wish that their happy hour had more options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But overall, it is a beautiful atmosphere with great food it's just a bit on the pricier side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, I think it is high quality and super delicious food and drink! read more

Took tapas for take out. Super quick service and amazing food!! I've never been to Nebraska before and had no idea what to expect. Cumbia makes me want to come back here! Queso empanadas and carnitas bravas are both must haves! read more

Went to Cumbia in downtown Omaha with friends and had an incredible night. Granville, the bartender, stole the show--some people say he's full of it, but honestly, he's full of energy and knowledge. Super engaging, fun to talk to, and he knows his craft. The drinks were phenomenal--bold flavors, perfect balance, and presentation that made you stop and take a picture. Between that and the friendly staff, you can tell they put care into everything they do. The vibe of the restaurant is unreal. The space is alive with lush greenery, warm lighting, and unique details everywhere you look. It's got that modern jungle-meets-lounge feel that makes you want to hang out all night. With the taste of the drinks and the atmosphere alone, I can't wait to go back and try the food. If it matches the bar experience, it's going to be a new favorite spot. read more

Cumbia - Latin American Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Cumbia is a regular place for my boyfriend and I because of their consistently amazing food, drinks, and service. We've been coming to Cumbia for the past two years for happy hour, dinner, or just drinks. While the menu has new items recently, every food item I've ever tried here has always been delicious. Personally, my favorites are the carnitas bravas, patacones & ropa vieja, and the ceviche. The bartenders here are great, always making a delicious drink. I love the caipirinha here, which can be hard to find elsewhere. The enigma is also always great, with a surprise drink always something new and delicious. The bartenders and servers are always amazing, super friendly and providing great recommendations. I love the location, super close to the Orpheum if you have a show there or want a close local place downtown not far from Old Market or Gene Leahy. I love the patio in warmer months. There's also plenty of bar seating and tables. With the plants and warm lighting, this is a fun and welcoming spot perfect for hanging out with friends or a date night. When people visit town I have brought them here and they have always been impressed. I love Cumbia and cannot recommend it enough! read more

We decided to go to Cumbia for date night since we hadn't been back since their latest reopening. We didn't realize they take reservations and were completely booked, but luckily we were able to snag two seats at the bar! We seriously enjoyed it! I went with a mojito. It was a little sweet for my taste, but probably just right for most people. My boyfriend had the espresso martini, and it was amazing! Watching them prep it with the aromatic bubble was a 10/10 moment. For tapas, we ordered the guac, the empanadas, and the picanha tacos. I know these are small plates, but the guac portion still felt a bit too small. That being said, everything we had was delicious! My favorite were the empanadas, they are a must. I'll definitely keep recommending Cumbia to others. The vibe is super unique and perfect for a fun night out. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Slightly off the beaten path from the central part of the Old Market, but a Latin themed hidden gem that is definitely worth a visit![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you first walk in the ambiance is welcoming and full of plants/greenery all around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is not often I can find a pisco sour in the Midwest, so I was excited to see they had it on the menu along with tons of other creative cocktails and mocktails. Service and cocktail presentation from the bartender were top notch! My only regret is going here after dinner, so I did not get to try any of the food options this time around. Additionally, Cumbia does offer happy hour specials Monday-Friday from 4:00-6:00 p.m. I'm excited to return and try more items from their menu. read more

My friends and I recently ended our Saturday evening out at Cumbia and it was my first time here - I didn't even know this place existed! Our friends are regulars here though and I'm so glad they introduced us to it! It wasn't very busy when we came (about an hour before the kitchen closed) and were seated immediately. Our server was kind and funny and the service was excellent! My husband and I shared an order of the queso empanadas and an order of the yucca cheese fritters and I got a caipirinha to wash it all down! The drink was excellent - simple but very tasty. I preferred the yucca app more than the empanadas as I think they had more flavor. Both apps were served with a side of a spiced strawberry dip, which was a little too sweet for my personal taste. Our friends told us they occasionally host salsa nights and I would love to go back for that and to try more of their drinks - you have the option to add a flavor to the classic caipirinha (like passionfruit)! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a good time at Cumbia, the vibes right when you walk in are great, music going, chatter from other tables, people just seemed to be having a genuinely good time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was also spectacular I didn't catch our servers name but they were great. Seemed to have a ton of tables in the small place along with seating people. Friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and checked on us a perfect amount not too much or too little. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I could see it being a touch loud for some people but it didn't bother us at all. We also were seated close to a speaker. The place in general is small so when it's full it's just gonna be a little loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks, I had the enigma pour which is a bartenders choice. My drink was pink in color and almost tasted like a starburst with a touch of sour. I enjoyed it. My wife had Pinot noir which she said was good. For food we did the guacamole which was the star of the show for us. Had great flavor and thought the plantain chips were a great compliment to it. Next we enjoyed the empanadas the best. We got the beef ones the outside was fried to a perfect crisp and the meat inside had a nice seasoning. Next we got the shrimp ceviche, this wasn't our favorite take on ceviche seemed like it was swimming in the sauce it came with which was sorta an aioli of sorts with a sweet after taste. It was good just too much for us. We also didn't enjoy the tails still on the shrimp so you had to disassemble them to eat would've preferred them tailless and chopped to get the full effect and easier to eat with the plantain chips. Lastly the cheese bites they were solid not sure I'd order again. It did come with a lot of them and the sauces they came with were good, one more of a sweet jam and the other a red savory sauce with a very little kick of heat. I would suggest reservations as it is a small place. Especially if you're planning to go before an event nearby. Overall a nice experience and I'd come again. read more

If you are looking to try something new, this is the place for you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is such a cute place to go with friends and enjoy tapas style food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are extremely hungry you may need to order double of the items since they are smaller portions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What I loved about this place was the ambiance, they have spanish upbeat music playing in the background loud enough to hear it but not drown your conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their cocktails were so fun to try, my favorite was the expresso martini...the best I've had so far! The staff is friendly and attentive. I will definitely come back again! read more

Cumbia was alright. The drinks were very good. I got the ceviche and it was alright, I'm not sure what I got to eat the ceviche with, but it was overly crunchy- kind of off putting. The pork belly was kind of fatty in the tacos and it had too much bbq sauce for our taste. I did like the empanadas though! The Yuquettes were also good. The vibe was CUTE inside, probably my favorite part of the whole night. read more

I really enjoy Cumbia. I've been in several times now and the drinks, food, and service are always great. The only thing that gets me and stops me from coming in more often, is the price point. I know costs have gone up, but 6 cubes of cheese for $8 and 7 tiny shrimp (in the shrimp cocktail) for $13 is a bit steep. The food IS very fresh delicious though, so I can justify it on occasion. read more

The service was eh. This place was recommended to me and a friend for dinner. Usually, when going into the restaurant, if there's no reservation they'll mentioned the bar. Nope didn't. But the hostess wasn't the problem. It was the bartender, the sarcasm was just a no for me. I'm also a very sarcastic person but to people who I know.. Food was cold, and when mentioning that it was cold, the bartender said she didn't have a microwave. So yeah, take that how you want. read more

- After being in South America, I was desperate for a latin fix and super excited to hear about Cumbia! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The indoor environment is beautiful, bringing a natural and almost psychedelic feeling. You instantly feel elevated in the experience - fun, playful, relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I found the menu options to be very fun, with a blend of Argentinean food, Colombian, and more - you need to try the Argentinian fried cheese! As a big fan of mezcal, tequila, and imported Mexican beers - the drink menu was perfect. I gave the Oaxacan old fashioned a go, and I'll warn you - it's not for the weak! It's smokey and warm with hint of sweetness from agave. It had tequila and mezcal, and I most definitely felt it quite quickly, but I consider that bang for your buck! My friend went with the Mexican lager from kinkaider, which I also tried for my second drink. It was light and smooth. I'm still learning the language of describing beers, but I'd say "fresh". We split the guacamole with plantain chips and MAN I could have eaten a whole bag of those chips! They were perfectly salted, long strips, and thick rather than flimsy. To top it all off, our server Noah was fun, patient, and conversational. A kind server like them really makes the experience that much more homey. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A beautiful environment that makes you feel welcomed into the environment rather than only a customer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be returning to Cumbia, and I'm glad Omaha is blessed with such latin influence! read more

I was really excited to try this place, but it wasn't my favorite. The pork belly in my tacos was really chewy it was hard to eat. It was also drowning in sauce. I'm a big sauce girl, I love bbq sauce, but it was too much even for me. Drinks were okay, but nothing special. The service was great. Our server was so nice and helped us decide on some things. The interior of the restaurant was really cute but there was a smokiness coming from the kitchen I think that made it really hard to be in there. Toward the end of dinner our eyes were burning. read more

Cumbia is a new experience for Old Market Omaha. It is all the best of South American cuisine and libations rolled into one. Tapas dining in an intimate atmosphere with club vibes. We ordered a variety of the menu and were impressed with each bite! Everything was a hit from Ceviche to Empanadas to chicharone tacos. The cocktails are also spot on! Palomas, pisco sours, and caipirinhas were so good and so pretty. Friendly staff made it an absolute must. Give the new kids some love and stop by. read more

Food was GREAT! Server was GREAT! Why only 3 stars? [[HIGHLIGHT]]They sat at us at a table right in front of the kitchen entrance. So close that servers couldn't leave while we were being seated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we asked for a different table the hostess was dismissive and a bit condescending just looking away and saying they were all booked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To be clear- the restaurant was not full when we were seated nor did it ever get full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They cannot make enough money off that two top to justify its placement. My friend refuses to return. I'll try it again and call for the reservation so I can be sure to NOT be seated there. read more

Cumbia was a home run from start to finish! Their drinks are amazing! We started with a few orders of tacos and ended up ordering more because everyone in the group enjoyed them so much. We also ordered the yuquettes and the sweet and spicy flavor together were amazing. My husband is gluten intolerant and was able to enjoy every menu item which is so great. The servers were very attentive and were so helpful as we continued to order more options. The whole environment on Cumbria is chic but so comfortable at the same time. Love all the plants!

A nice little bar with a South American feel. conveniently located across the street from the Orpheum theater. Street parking and garage parking are available in the area. We were drawn to this location by their cocktail menu that mentions Caipirinhas (this is the national drink of Brazil - We were on admission after several failed attempts in trying to get this at a certain unnamed Brazilian steakhouse in town, lol). We're happy to report that the Caipirinhas are worthy! This made us want to try some of the tapas items on their abbreviated bar menu. The menu offers a number of South American appetizers are exceptionally shareable. The bartender was very attentive, and checked on us regularly. Recommend if you're having a night out at the Orpheum to stop in here either before or after the show to try some of their signature cocktails. read more

This was such a fun date night spot that didn't turn out to be as expensive as I thought it would be!

I have driven by here before but never took the time to lookup and see what this place was all all about. I was in the area working for a client on valentines day of all days. Thankfully it was a little early around 430 when my wife and me stopped in and we didnt have reservations. Pretty cool the greeter said we could have a spot if we could make sure to keep it under 2hrs (was not busy at the time) which was perfectly fine with me. The interior is pretty small and intimate with some romantic lighting. We sat at the Bar which only has a handful of seating. The street tacos my wife ordered up looked fantastic, tasted great and i think was a really good price point for the ingrediants. The drinks were excellent and not some simple 3 step mixe. So make sure not to get frustrated with slow drinks because they really have to work to craft those! It was an awesome expierence to stop in for a quick bite and onto the next place! read more

What a pleasant surprise! Columbian food in Omaha!! This spot was close to my hotel and with possible storms, the quick walk was a draw. The pajarito (mezcal and passion fruit) may be the best cocktail I've ever had. Every dish was flavorful, balanced and over the top good. The pork belly tacos were sweeter than I expected but I love sweet so they rocked my world. The chicken was tender. The yuquettes just perfectly smooth and the jam was added an interesting sweet twist. The coffee in the cheesecake wasn't overwhelming and perfectly added to the perfect texture. This spot was perfection!! Cannot recommend this place enough so check it out if you ever have the chance to. read more
