Great food and service. People are very nice. Great small restaurant with lots of selections.

Delicious tacos and quesadillas! Friendly service and reasonable price. We also loved that the music was just a nice volume and didn't inhibit our conversation. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. The burritos are huge and fairly priced. The pineapple salsa is super flavorful and their meats are always piping hot. This place is better than any of the other guys. read more

ordered chips and queso and the chips tasted like they old and the queso had a strange acidic flavor, which honestly reminded me of vomit. This is the second time I've tried this restaurant, hoping for different results and was sadly disappointed. read more

Absolutely the best burritos ever! You basically build your own to perfection and enjoy. The people who run it are amazing and I wish there were more locations. You will not be disappointed if you eat here. read more

I had two carne asada tacos, had one bite and gave up. The carne asada was a flavorless, rubbery product. Also, the chips were a dud also. Too much fake Mexican food being offered in the newer areas of Phoenix. read more

Delish every time! 10/10, highly recommend! Fresh food, large servings, fair prices, and my stomach never gets upset when I eat here- when you know, you know! read more

Always great service! The food is always amazing and fresh. We have been coming here for years and I don't think I've ever had anything I didn't like. The workers are the sweetest people. I just love this place!! read more

Came here tonight after an event at fletcher park with my husband. I ordered takeout over the phone. It was ready right on time! Cute haha feel in here and it's clean, wasn't busy at all. I ordered the chips, salsa, and queso and a veggie burrito with no sour cream, with black beans and the mango salsa. The burrito was super bland. I don't think they use any spices on their beans or rice. All of the salsa was concentrated on one half of the burrito and I was a little disappointed that we paid extra for it, it was just ok. The chips and salsa were yummy, I had the red salsa. The queso is not bad, not the best I've had but velveeta-y type queso just isn't my fave. Good amount of food, I had plenty of chips left over with salsa and queso. Don't think I'd come again though! read more

Finally stopped by here after driving by for years! So Good! We really enjoyed it! Had a great conversation with the owner about my food allergies and they were very accommodating. We enjoyed a chicken burrito and a loaded quesadilla! Both were excellent. read more

I have ordered Rumba using Postmates numerous times and the order is ALWAYS wrong. Today I ordered a salad with an extra side of dressing and both dressings that comes with the salad and the extra dressing were not in the order. Who eats a salad without dressing? It is very frustrating as this is a regular occurrence. It is clearly printed on the receipt that is stapled to the bag. I will not be ordering takeout from here anymore. If you go in person the service and food is great. They just lack follow through on take out orders. read more

They have lunch specials from 11:00am-4:00pm. I don't know if it changes from day to day but when we were there, it was a small burrito, fries, chips & salsa, and a small drink for $9.05. First off, the fries aren't actually fries; they're more like cinnamon chips. My cronies and I all felt that the chips and salsa were horrible. I had a baja quesadilla (I wasn't aware that adding carne asada adds $2.49 to this) and two tacos. It cost $19.24 (includes taxes). The shredded beef tasted stale and dry which made the tacos not that good. The carne asada in the quesadilla was at least good. But overall, my stomach was not happy with my choice of coming here. The only other good thing about this place was that the service was amiable. read more

LISTEN. You always hear about these awesome taco places hiding in plain sight... this is one of them. A friend asked me to meet her for lunch, driven by countless times and never knew this wonderful gem of a place was right here. I had the Baja fish tacos... and then got another order of them to go. Ain't no shame when ya find yourself a darn good taco. Made fresh, literally before my eyes, this delicious taco was so good I can't even describe it. Perfectly cooked fish, roasted corn tortilla, and the mango salsa?! Speak to meeeee! I can't event begin to express how much going here would be worth it to you, you just have to go try it. The Baja quesadilla came recommended by the staff, did I get it? I'd love to say yes, but ya girl had four tacos already... next time. And next time will be in the immediate future because this place? Fire. So good. read more

The Cafe Rumba was a wonderful place to eat at the burrito special was just enough to eat...The burrito had the same concept as Chipotle but better fresh food rice, meat, corn, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole wrapped flour tortillas with a side of chips or fries and a drink 9.99 ...The only thing I have to give them a F on the chips was stale...I love eating my burrito with it...The place has fresh juices, jaritos sodas, sangria, Mexico coke, horchata, beer, margaritas, The staff was so wonderful...The place was very clean.... read more

We were sad when the Mesa location closed several years ago, but we're thrilled when we discovered a location in Glendale. Thought it's quite a drive from Mesa, we've enjoyed planning a trip over just to enjoy the awesome meal at one of our favorite places. I love the Rumba Salsa, with the fresh cooked tortilla lining the bowl and filled with fresh, crisp lettuces and choice of meat (I like the pork) and choice of salsas and dressings. You choose items as you watch from across the glass counter as your meal is prepared. Staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful. I've always found the restaurant to be clean and inviting. As I'm writing this, I'm already looking forward to a return visit! For me, it's well worth the trip! read more

Sad under staffed and out of alot of restaruant food items. Just came in for lunch. No queso No beans no rice. I mean dang I know its had times. Maybe I will try again maybe not still unsure. $5 Margarita's is the reason I stopped in. Ekkkk not the best but at least they had them! read more

I've been eating at Cafe Rumba for at least 8 years now and love it! They serve Baja style Mexican food and offer many different options. My favorite option is the lunch special served daily from 11a-4p. It includes a small burrito, chips & salsa, and cinnamon sugar crisps plus a small drink. For under $8 it's a great option and very filling! I also LOVE the BBQ quesadilla. Super flavor and almost a meal for 2! read more

Food is amazing! I like the chips and salsa. Love that it's not chunky and full of cilantro leaves. We eat here at least twice a month!

Consistently delicious food every time, friendly staff that recognizes regulars, a great spot for a quick, local meal that will not disappoint! I will gladly skip the chains to support local businesses. read more

Great food, you can see what you are ordering and make it just as you like it. Great for carry out also.

We're so lucky to have this Baja Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood. The food is consistently good, with very fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked pork, chicken white fish and shrimp. Their guacamole is fabulous, their chips are thin, crisp and warm. You're always greeted with a warm welcome unless they're really slammed with a crowd. read more

Love love love this place. Eric always has a smile on his face, the rest of the crew does too. Great fresh food, good price. You can find us here every weekend. See you there! read more

I would describe Cafe Rumba as a Chipotle type of place, but much better. They specialize in burritos and burrito bowls and also have other offerings on the menu. I appreciate that the food is always fresh and tastes homemade. In addition the staff is friendly, helpful and make a point of remembering their customers. I would definitely recommend trying them out! read more

This is an interesting little place, like a cross between Chipotle and a Mexican cafe. There is a wide and interesting menu selection and seating both inside and outside. The food was very fresh, tasty and cooked well, the staff friendly and helpful. Ample parking outside. If you like 'Amerimex' then I'd probably describe this as a hidden gem worth a visit. read more

We stopped by mid-afternoon after an appointment in the area. This was our first time here and we chose it because of its close proximity to our appointment location. There is no table service here and the customers must order from the counter. The restaurant was pretty clean with the exception of crushed corn chips and some food scraps on the floor. We ordered the Rumba Tacos served with a choice of sides. First impressions is that all the ingredients were not prepared there, but rather purchased prepackaged ready to serve. This goes from the meats, toppings, sides and tortillas. Their "kitchen" was nothing more than a storage space for all the ingredients. We also found the price of the menu items was pretty high especially if one considers the quality of the food. We have eaten in a lot of Mexican Restaurants over many decades and found this place inferior to nearly them all. Save your money and find a better place to eat. read more

Absolutely delicious! Our Wednesday lunch tradition with the kids. And dinner after church on Saturdays.. yummmmm

I had chicken enchiladas, one green and two red - both were so yummy! Boyfriend got sweet spicy pork on a bbq pizza = amazing. Only upset we didn't find this gem sooner. We'll be back, thanks Rumba staff!!! read more

Best fast food Mexican in the Valley. The chicken and beef are juicy and delicious and the service is outstanding. We have been dining here at least once a week for 11 years and the food is always AMAZING! read more

The food was so yummy. I had the Burrito Bowl with sweet and spicy pork, black beans, rice, mango salsa and lettuce. The mango salsa was fresh and unexpected. I would definitely order that again. Then I had some chips and a mild red salsa. The salsa did not have much flavor and zero spice. However, the passion fruit iced tea was refreshing. Overall, I would come again. read more

This is a small Mexican restaurant where you order at the counter and they prepare your dish right in front of you. You can add or subtract ingredients. I chose the bbq chicken Mexican pizza, and added black beans and corn. It is a huge portion for one person, my husband and I split it with a order of chips and salsa. Excellent! Excellent! My son ordered the burrito and also enjoyed it very much. We will definitely be coming back read more
