So we waited the 15 minutes and when we were taken to our table the area was empty. There were a lot of open tables. So why makes us wait at not sit us just because we got there 15 minutes early? I did not enjoy that. It's a lack of hospitality.

We ordered the meatballs, pork spring rolls, halloumi skewer, gnocchi, roasted carrots, chickpea shakshuka, and the yellowtail ceviche.

The outdoor seating was really nice on a comfortable summer day. In terms of the food, I was thrilled to find that they had a vegetarian platter that I could order off the brunch menu, so I went with it. It was reasonably good, but not exceptional. It was made up of a number of component parts that didn't always fit together. The cheese arepa was great. The fried egg was as expected. The mixed veggies underneath had the wrong tone for the dish. The shiitake mushrooms did add umami, but that was the wrong flavor profile. Not bad. They just didn't fit the rest of the dish. The fruit also seemed out of place. The house made chorizo was clearly a seitan product, and it was good. It was just a lot of seitan, and that's a product I try to avoid. In terms of the service, everything was exceptional. Our server was very nice and demonstrated exceptional situational awareness. She was present as much as needed, but no more. She was also fast, despite waiting on half the restaurant. I was able to get in and out quickly to get back to my day. All told, a completely reasonable destination. I suspect their meat based dishes might fit together a little better, but the vegetarian options could be improved.

But the Spanish influence is alive here as well. I started with the Gazpacho soup (chilled tomato and cucumber) and finished with the Bocadillo de canvas fritas (crispy red shrimp, aioli and green Spanish peppers). My wife had the Bocadillo de Jamon (Serrano ham, Manchego cheese and fresh tomato). Both were served on a warm baguette and featured incredible flavor, freshness and texture. The wait staff was super friendly, welcoming and oh so helpful. It's a great choice for an affordable lunch or dinner.

The food is *excellent*, the starters are great, the cocktails are delicious, we haven't had one dud on any menu item. The only complaint is the location, and *maybe* some of the servers don't have so much English, but in a place like this, that's charm and it's never been a problem. The host is helpful and energetic, the interior is charming and interesting. If this was in Asheville, or Biltmore Square, it would be going gangbusters. Just a great place, cannot recommend this one enough.

We were out in Asheville, randomly started craving Mexican food, and decided to give La Rumba a try. I'm SO glad we did because everything was genuinely incredible. The food was absolutely sensational. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor, fresh, and just ridiculously good. We kept trying each other's food and basically saying "oh my god" after every bite. Even the chips, salsa, queso, and guac had us hooked before our actual food came out. And the drinks!!! SO good. Dangerous in the best possible way. What really took the experience over the top though, was the service. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming, and you could tell they cared that we were having a great experience. Great food is one thing, but when the service matches it, that's what makes a restaurant memorable. We went in on a whim with zero expectations and left talking about how we HAVE to come back the next time we're in Asheville. Honestly, La Rumba may have ruined our ability to casually pick another Mexican restaurant now 10/10. No notes. Go hungry. Order everything.
