Been here a couple times with our kids and the in-laws, and we typically leave satisfied. My in-laws are regulars and wave to the owner when they come in. They typically choose where to eat when we come visit and lately this has been their preference. Not many options out here, but honestly, compared to all the options in Baton Rouge, it's pretty comparable to a Las Palmas or Casa Maria as it has a chain feel to it. Three other locations in Louisiana, but my in-laws say this location in Jennings offers a bit more on their menu however. We've sampled quite a bit on the menu (kids' chicken tender and fries meal, chimichanga, tortilla soup, fajitas, taco salad with grilled shrimp, and of course salsa and chips. Again, nothing incredibly unique but pretty standard quality Mexican food and options. A few reviews mentioned service, and I wouldn't criticize it honestly. Everyone has been nice, they appear to be slow with taking our order and bringing our food, however, they've been busy every time we've been here, so it would make sense to take a little longer. The servers always seem to be hustling quite a bit too. So yep, check it out, and see for yourself! read more

La Rumba - Tortilla soup $5 and enough for a meal (for some at least) - Mexican Near Me - Jennings, Louisiana

The food at La Rumba is consistently good and the portions are large. I had the Al Pastor Street tacos they were different this time. Not necessarily bad, but they weren't the same as the dozens of times I've had them. Almost like they were cooked in a sauce of some kind. I'll have to order again to see if it was just a fluke or they changed the recipe. Service is quick and efficient with friendly waiters. Interior is your typical Mexican restaurant decor. La Rumba is great for family or large groups as the have plenty of seating. read more

The food is the best mexican I've ever had but the service, don't get me started on the service. I was there on a date with my girlfriend and the service was terrible, i had to ask for our drinks at least 3 times when we got there and when we were leaving. And you can barley understand what anyone there is saying, its not that most of them there speak another language. Its the fact that when they spoke you can only hear like one word because they spoke so fast, and the food took forever. It was like a 20 minute wait for some cheese dip,fahita meat, fries, and a grilled chicken sandwich. AlsoI'm pretty sure i saw a hair in my food, im never going here on a date again. read more

Amazing food. Exceptional service. We have been on the road for 2 weeks traveling from California to Florida. Best charro beans here that we have had, including Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Two for one beers and margaritas. We will keep this one on our list whenever we are passing through. read more

We stopped by for lunch on our road trip. Restaurant is right off the highway and very easy to get to! There's plenty of parking available once you get there. The restaurant is really big inside, plenty of tables with a mini bar and all! The menu is loaded with options and all prices are very reasonable. I ordered fajitas, taco salad and a beef soup which was unreal!! I posted some pics of the menu so you can see for yourself, great stop! read more

I'm from San Antonio so this place just isn't any good. Taco Bell type food with slower service. Our waitress just left after giving us our drinks. Had to ask three other waitresses and manager says she just left. Got another waiter, never filled my drink. Ate most of my meal dry. Not impressed. Very disappointed. read more

La Rumba - No drink and crappy food. - Mexican Near Me - Jennings, Louisiana

I wish i could've gave 0 stars for this experience. The food here gets worst every time i come. But this roach in my dip put the cherry on top. I will NEVER eat La Rumba again, and i don't recommend it for anyone else either. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY DISGUSTING. To top the roach even being in my food, i was almost done before i even noticed it. Who knows , i coulda been eating a whole roach thinking it was steak. I'm so disgusted with La Rumba, they lost a good customer for life!!! read more

La Rumba - I got the la rumba dip to go, and i found a whole Roach in it. that's so UNACCEPTABLE. - Mexican Near Me - Jennings, Louisiana

I got the menudo soap. It was super expensive and it didn't bring enough meat. It was pretty much just water. I paid nearly $18 for each soap and left the restaurant hungry and disappointed. Friendly waitress but I'm never coming back. read more

I dropped into La Rumba for lunch while I was in town, mainly for its proximity to the interstate, and partly for my love of Mexican cuisine. On this fine Monday, it was busy not not crowded at noon, so I was seated right away. Standard chips and salsa brought out, and meal arrived within 5-10 minutes. I don't have anything negative to say. Service is quick, food is solid, music is good, restaurant is clean. If you're ever in Jennings and have a hankering for Mexican, check this place out. read more

We were traveling from Texas to Mississippi and having trouble finding a place to eat that looked decent. We found the place we had selected closed so we thought we would have to settle for one of the usual fast food options. My husband saw the parking lot was full and we gave it a shot. All I can say is that we are grateful for lucking up on this place. Service was great and the food plentiful and delicious. Since Jennings is not a huge place you know it thrives on locals. Always a good sign. FYI - the sign is missing so you could miss it. You know it's the place when you see the Dos XX light in the window. We will be back! read more

Actually the best Tortilla soup I've ever had, no joking here. The staff was so friendly and made sure I was fine with drink or anything else. I'll for sure BW coming back!!!! read more

Food was great. 2 star review ONLY because I got solicited twice in a matter of minutes after sitting down by "a poor person trying to sell face masks". I had one on the moment I walked in and still???? Be warned. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a quick drink and appetizers. The large margarita was a little week for my taste but an extra shot made it perfect. We started with the La Rumba Dip and the avocado dip. Everything was just delightful and full of flavor. We will definitely recommend. The service was attentive and polite. Great night! read more

WARNING: Please keep a close eye on seating hostess if you have to wait. We arrived at 6:10, with a party of 6 and were told it would be a 20 minute wait for a table, which was fine. Five minutes later another party of 6 arrived and were immediately seated at a table. When I asked about this, I was told we were getting a large booth cleaned for us. Ten minutes later we were crammed into a booth where we were bumping arms through the entire meal. Food was good but kitchen messed up the order so one-half of the food came out and the rest arrived 20 minutes later. read more

Regular cheap Mexican/American for a high price. Nothing fresh or original. Eating here was a waste of stomach space I could have put rice cakes. My waitress was super nice and friendly(Ashley) her talent is wasted here. read more

Not very good... The fajitas leave something to be desired - a bit bland and lacking. The salsa on the other hand is a bit over-powering, simply too much cilantro. No problems with service however - the waitress was nice and the manager and even came by and checked in on us. This restaurant has potential, but they need to rethink their food to get there. read more

$9 plate Cold tortilla, Pulled flavorless Chicken, served with rice and beans. The tacos were cold. The tortillas were store bought, it had a funky smell. I asked the waiter if he could reheat my tacos and he seemed like he didn't care. I got back 3 microwaved tacos. After eating two, I felt disgusted with myself so I stopped. I do not recommend this place, keep driving and go to the taco bell nearby because Taco Bell tacos have flavor. read more

La Rumba - $9 plate Cold tortilla, Pulled flavorless Chicken, served with rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - Jennings, Louisiana

Very good food. Hot, flavorful, and delicious. Staff was friendly. The food and drinks were served very quickly. I'm not sure why there are such negative reviews. We were just passing through and decided to stop for lunch. Great decision. I had the chicken fajitas and they were great! read more

The best margaritas Ive had in a long time / since moving to this part of Louisiana! (Homemade sangria was delicious as well ) The restaurant was clean and comfortable; and the decor was appropriate and not cluttered. Service was good, food was great, and drinks were outstanding. I must comment about the steak, shrimp, and chicken fajitas- so so good! The steak was tender and seasoned well, which is hard to find with fajitas. The only gripe: could have used more of the "toppings" for the fajitas, there was enough per say but if there was more we would have used more. I highly recommend La Rumba. -definitely returning! read more

La Rumba - Lime/ La Rumba house margarita... Half gone! Sooo good! - Mexican Near Me - Jennings, Louisiana

Food was good service was terrible. 40 minutes to get drinks and 2 hours to get food . Fezzos next time out.

The food is decent for Mexican but the staff leaves a lot to be desired. Our first visit was on the opening night, seating times were fairly quick for them being packed. We were seated and ordered, waited an hour for our food before we were approached by the hostess and we told her about our lack of food. People who got there after us and were seated/ordered after us had already received their food. The hostess must of took care of it because our food came out not long after. I ordered a taco salad and the shell was stale and disgusting. The other food was good though. The second visit I ordered a side of beans with my food which never came out. The waiter tried to charge me for the beans. The ticket was not readable, I guess it was in Spanish? Anyway, he took the beans off the ticket and I paid. Another lady brought my change back and they stiffed me $2. read more

Came here for lunch one day while I was out this way for work. We had an order of guacamole and I had the fish tacos (plus the complimentary chips and salsa). The chips and salsa were good, not great. Tasted like regular store-bought. The fish tacos were pretty good, and they give you a lot of food (rice and beans with it). The remoulade sauce wasn't my favorite, and I would rather not get cheese on my fish taco, but I still ate it (caveat - I was STARVING, so I probably would've eaten anything). Service wasn't the best either. Waited twice as long as we should've to order. read more

Not to good chicken was sour in flauta guacamole hand to many tomatoes in it it broke down and was runny not fresh but the rice and beans were good read more

This place is bad in service! Waited 30 min for our drinks. Chips and salsa were average. The manager a pretty big looking guy didn't seem to care about his job he sat at the bar watching soccer. We Will not be coming back! Can't wait to see what else comes into this spot. read more

Great food! Desserts are iffie, and the menus need to be wiped down. The music is too loud and really should me Spanish. But the wait staff is always courteous and attentive. read more

Favorite place!!! Food is great and the staff is very nice. Get the LaRumba Dip as an appetizer!!

Terrible place, don't come! Chips tasted like they were fried in old grease. Margarita was overloaded with sweet and sour, order a fajita burrito. Was suppose to come with beans inside but the were missing. Chicken tasted off. read more

Great Place. A real family feel. The food was tasty and great portions. Our waiter was fantastic a real character

We used to order it to go maybe once a month, we've gotten fish tacos, chicken fajita burrito, flautas, and chimichangas. Good food, but the last time we got it, it made us sick :(. read more

The food is good authentic Mexican food but the staff is very unfriendly. They act like you are bothering them. Like this every time we went. Will never go 5 read more

The minute we walked in we were approached very kindly and were seated right away. The waitress was very kind and courteous. The food was great too. The parillada for 2 was nice and hot with plenty of shrimp and meat to feed 3:) I would only recommend better tortillas.. But other than that everything was nice and tender. The birthday song was hilarious. Got my wives pic on the wall.. It was funny and fun. Great stop.. read more
