Also brought a friend who got jerk chicken so we split and shared - she's also obsessed now. And the jerk chicken was soooo tasty and tender and juicy.

Really quick and friendly service both times.

Someone in our group saw their sign about stone crab and insisted we go here for dinner. It was…read morenear where we were staying so we came here with a group of 8 - and they were totally able to accommodate us. This ended up being such a great place and experience that we came back a second time on the weekend - and they were still able to seat our group of 8 pretty quickly despite being very busy. Amazing. The stone crab was allegedly delicious and was ordered a second time on our return. The first night I had the island rice bowl with jerk chicken. It was lovely and I ate every last bite. The rice itself was a bit bland but the flavors around it were great and mixed in with it to make a yummy combo. Any time I'm outside of Wisconsin I try to order an Old Fashioned, but this was definitely not their skillset. It came out tasting like watered down bourbon in an orange slice and a red cherry. So the next time I looked to something else. There were no great looking drinks with brown liquor, so I tried the sangria happy hour (literally a 24/7 happy hour). It was better than most sangrias I've ordered in restaurants so I was content with my choice. Multiple people in our group ended up with the jerk chicken, and they raved about it. A lot of our meals over the week were compared to Rumba's jerk chicken. We got some kind of chicken nachos as an appetizer, and oh my was it heavenly. I'm not a nachos person, but these were to die for. And the chicken on them was scrumptious. My second trip I wasn't starving, so I got the Southern Street Corn Caesar - cuz how amazing does that sound?? Well, it was basically just a Caesar salad (don't get me wrong, it was a good Caesar salad) with a few pieces of corn in it. It was indeed blistered and lovely, but it made absolutely zero impact on the salad. I expected it to be kind of the star of the dish given the name. Oh well. I added blackened shrimp to my Caesar. A great salad regardless, clean plate club once again. I thought this place was great. A casual atmosphere but still a nice setting with good food and super friendly staff. Our first night, Owen was our server and he was an absolute gem. Our second time I am pretty sure we had Tiffany, and she was also a delight. Definitely the best two servers we had anywhere during our stay in Florida. Thank you!

I'm so glad we found Rumba in St. Pete. We had come from Gallagher's For Xmas pics and were…read moreundecided on lunch. We loved Rumba in Clearwater. They have been around forever. At least 20 years. They use to have a location in Oldsmar and it closed. This one was their most recent location. Maybe a couple years old. I'm not too sure. This location is brighter and more open. It definitely has the coastal FL vibes. It's not on the beach. But you still have those feels. Plenty of parking which is always my concern but the have their own parking lot. I was excited to see they have an early dining menu btw 11:30am to 5:45pm, we actually didn't choose from there. A few things about Rumba that I loved are their mini corn breads that they pass out to you in the beginning. They are so good. Second, they have buy one get one free drinks like sangria or well drinks or rum punch. I don't get mixed drinks often bc they are too expensive and too strong. I did this time and it was 2 for $6.99 and they were so good. I didn't want much so I decided on the shrimp bisque. It's thick and hearty and comes with a slice of toast to dip it. That's the best part. My husband had a bowl with chicken. These prices weren't bad for the area and the service was great. Our server was very nice and helpful and cheery. So glad Rumba is on this side of town, they have nice booths and tables inside and outside seating as well.

When I asked about their gluten-free precautions, our server reassured me that the chefs take it very seriously and are very careful when preparing gluten-free meals. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and seared ahi tuna for appetizers, and both were delicious! For our meals, I had Doc's paella, my daughter had the mahi-mahi with jasmine rice and vegetables, my son had the panko shrimp with fries, and my husband had the macadamia nut-crusted grouper with vegetables and rice. Everything came out fairly quickly and tasted good. Everyone in our party liked their food except my daughter she said her fish had zero seasoning or flavor, the service was great, and I really appreciated the care they took with gluten-free precautions.

First visit.... So much to write and most not good…read more Our friends have all been here before and wanted a birthday dinner for 12 people. My girlfriend called several days in advance to book the reservation and was told the ONLY time they would accommodate 12 was 5:15pm (it was a Friday). Even though several of us work, she took it after they refused a later time. She even confirmed by a text they sent her the day before. The party arrived between 5-5:15. The table was not ready. Looked around and while busy, not all tables were full and smaller parties were being seated as they came in with no wait. 30 minutes later- after another table finally left and they cleared it they sat us. So much for a reservation that had to be only at that time! No attempt to seat us elsewhere- just waiting for that table to leave. The server, Kenny, came around and almost like a drill sergeant required everyone's attention (stern request for all to pay attention to him) so he could give the specials and inform us on how he was going to do the separate checks. I am all for him being able to keep everyone's check straight- just the way he explained was a bit off putting. He proceeded to take drink orders and then returned with them. Started taking food orders. I asked for an appetizer and my meal. He said is it ok if they come together? I said well I would like the app first. He informed me that if he did that and "held" my meal order there would be a small delay on my meal. I said no- I don't want to hold anything up. He took the rest of the orders. After a few minutes one person's appetizers came out. I will call him "B". B was nice and shared his apps with several people. At this point we were looking for Kenny as several drinks needed to be refilled or ordered. Did not see him. Few minutes later, meals started arriving via a couple food runners who started calling out what they had in hand. As dishes were being placed on the table my appetizer was called so I turned and the one he was handing me had tomatoes clearly on top. I said- that's not mine- I ordered no tomatoes. He looks up and quickly takes it to the end of the table where one of the others had already received my app and picked up a piece of it. He stopped him right before they bit into the piece. Told him that was the wrong one and switched them bringing me the one that had almost been eaten. He said- this is yours- he did not eat any yet. Yeah- but he had picked up a piece! At that point more commotion going on with meals arriving so I just took it but did not eat the one section. We all get our meals except B. One person asked for a side of ranch with their order- not delivered. We are looking for Kenny still- remember we needed drinks and now the ranch dressing. He seems inattentive (the prior customers at this table had left their paid check there- it was still on the table next to my friend until 3/4 through the time we were there as an example of his inattentiveness plus waiting to order more drinks). When Kenny finally comes to check on us he takes the drink orders and we ask about B's meal. Well because he asked for his appetizers to come first his meal is delayed. The second round of drinks come. Still no meal for B. The entire table is almost done eating their meals when B's meal shows up!! He told them just put it in a box. Kenny shows with all checks in hand but says- anyone have a sweet tooth? When nobody responds with a dessert request he starts handing out the checks. He did then offer the birthday person a free dessert as well as B due to the delay- they would not take any off the check for the delay (he declined). We paid and left. We had put 3 hours on our parking. We left with 15 minutes to spare! That gives you an idea of the delay for seating and service. Now I get it- party of 12 on a Friday. But as mentioned the place was not packed as others (smaller parties)continued to be seated with no wait. And we all were respectful of his check system and how we ordered. My girlfriend said "if this was my first time here I don't know I would come back". I chimed in...."first time here!" Pros: my meal was good (shrimp and grits). Several others enjoyed their food. Bathroom kept clean despite being busy. Cons (besides what I already have mentioned): my husband said after we left his chicken sandwich was rubbery- overcooked. My second drink (regular mojito) was very bland. Sorry- Will try other restaurants in that area before going back!

I came back in June and the sign changed to "mid June" then just "opening soon" with no specific date. Now it's August 20th, and I saw their new google/yelp page, so I thought it would finally be open. I saw a couple of cars when I pulled into the parking lot around 3 in the afternoon but unfortunately, there was a sign saying it was closed "due to an emergency"! Not really sure what had happened, but there needs to be a Facebook page or something to post about these sudden notices instead of just a small piece of paper taped to the door. I was really excited to try it out, I'll change my review once I actually get to go inside and try the food.

It's a day later and I'm still thinking about this food! Wow, what an absolute GEM. The tres palmas mofongo was so moist and flavorful (looooved the garlic cream sauce, which they give in abundance) and a notable portion size which was refreshing to see. The shrimp, chicken and steak were all so flavorful with herbaceous undertones. They worked so well together. WOULD RECOMMEND. It was 10/10. The staff was so kind and accommodating! The fried pork main dish was fried HARD but not dry. Just lots of crunch and flavor. The sauce it came with was perfect for dipping though. The beans were delicious and went perfectly with the fluffy white rice. The cute little outside area was perfect to sit and eat during a beautiful day. It's rare that you find a Puerto Rican restaurant this authentic off the island. I felt transported. Will 100% be back!
