    So as other reviews have stated - this is NOT your typical restaurant...don't turn away! The food is amazing-so authentic!!! The service was friendly and offered suggestions. The seating is clean and the time we went plenty.

    Tacos Al pastor
    Kylie A.

    I found this place on Yelp. I had an appointment in defuniak & this place was highly recommended on Yelp so we gave it a try. I'm not familiar with the area so if I didn't know what I was looking for, I would've driven right past it. It is a mix of a taqueria/supermarket As soon as you walk in, you can seat yourself & a server will come to your table with a menu. A complete hole in the wall but we knew that it was the place to be because it got busy fast since we went around the beginning of lunch time. I ordered: 3 Tacos Al Pastor, mega burrito al pastor with rice & beans & a kids chicken quesadilla with rice & beans. We were immediately impressed with how generous they were on the portions. They had two types of salsa for my tacos; verde & rojo.. I used them both & loved them. Overall we loved this place & will definitely come back. The servers were very generous & service was speedy!

    Truly authentic Mexican food! And to top it off the have horchata yay!!!!! No where else in this town has food like this. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Don't judge by the outside appearance go in they are amazing!!!! Although I think the address is wrong on here. But it's across the road from regions bank if you can't find it

    Torta Cubana; not the hot dog in the sandwich.... Maybe is something they add to their tortas

    Came to try the Quesabirria tacos that are shown on the pictures, but it's only on Saturdays and Sundays. So i ordered a cuban torta... disappointing. Had ground beef and a hotdog, as well as ham and cheese. I had better tortas than this one. When i asked a server about the Quesabirria, she seemed not familiar with it, and the other server was not that enthusiastic serving. And I spoke in Spanish.

    Location shown is wrong if it's still showing downtown DeFuniak'. It's actually about a mile west of where Yelp is showing it. It's across from Regions Bank. Excellent authentic Mexican food. Rufino and Israel are very friendly and professional. Their food is the freshest. They have a grocery store as well where you can buy fresh vegetables, beans, meet, and rice. They sell all sorts of Mexican meats like carne asada and censina. After going to this restaurant you will never want to go go to the thousands of standard Tex mex restaurants that are out there.

    If you want some proper Mexican food, go here. Grew in Los Angeles and this was the best enchiladas Ive has in the Panhandle.

    Hole-in-the-wall type place with really good food. Service was good enough but again, food was really good and authentic.

    I recently visited La Rumba in DeFuniak Springs and had mixed feelings about the experience…read more The restaurant itself is beautiful. I really enjoyed the spacious, culturally vibrant atmosphere. The floral décor and star-shaped light fixtures create a unique and inviting environment. I also spent some time near the bar to check out the vibe, and the music fit the overall theme very well. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the atmosphere. My waitress lacked enthusiasm and engagement throughout the visit. When I noticed that the street tacos were priced at $4.99 each, I commented that the price seemed high compared to other restaurants that offer smaller street-style tacos for less. She responded by citing "inflation," and when I pointed out that other places still charge less, her response was, "That's how the prices are in Florida." The interaction came across as dismissive and somewhat rude. I ordered a taco salad with ground beef, which was average at best. Shortly after placing my order, I noticed the La Rumba Signature Salad on the menu and asked if I could switch to that instead. I was told the order couldn't be changed because it would require a management void and they don't like doing those. Considering the request was made almost immediately after ordering, I found that response unprofessional and disappointing. Additionally, I had to flag down staff multiple times just to receive my check. On a positive note, one of the staff members cleaning the bar area was exceptionally kind and took time to engage in friendly conversation. That interaction was genuine, welcoming, and ended up being one of the best parts of the visit. Overall, while the atmosphere and décor are impressive, the service lacked significantly. For a brand-new establishment location, I expected a friendlier and more customer-focused experience. With additional waitstaff training and better customer service standards, this restaurant may have the potential to become a highlight in the area.

    I popped into LaRumba on St Patrick's Day and had a really great time. It started as soon as I…read moreentered the front door and I was enthusiastically greeted by the hostess who also complimented me- telling me how much she "loved my look". Totally made my day! I was dining with me/myself/and I so I took a seat at the bar and again was enthusiastically greeted by the bartender. The margaritas were excellent - and 2 for 1 - BONUS!! I ordered the chicken fajita chimichanga that came with refried beans and rice. It was all fresh and delicious AND very generous portions. Enough for dinner that night AND lunch the next day. Definitely will pop in there again - soon.
