Finally got to brunch this morning and we were not disappointed! The brunch menu has lots of yummy options that we tried a few of. This morning we had the empanadas that had a cream and fruit filling, which were amazing! The bacon was to die for and the grits were awesome! Service was great as well as the vibe! read more

I finally got to try this place after everyone in my family recommended me. The drinks were delicious and well mixed. While our coquette appetizers were cold, the KanKan dish was excellent! The seating arrangement was comfy and service was great. read more

I've been wanting to try Rhumba for Lunch and yesterday I went with friends. The food was very good and Everyone enjoyed themselves. Service is always good they never let you down. We ate inside because it's Winter. It's a beautiful dining area. read more

Things started a little rocky as I believe the owner and server were distracted, as they were preparing for an influencer review. However, once I brought to my server's attention that I'd been neglected for 10 minutes or so, he was very accommodating. The decor and vibes were great. I had the choice of sitting on the front or back patio and chose the back. It had a private and secluded feel. I recommend sitting there if you're looking to have a peaceful cigar smoke and quiet evening. They were setting up live music but you have to sit inside to hear it. I had the Cuban fried rice with filet mignon and it was amazing. The food came out very fast too! As for the cigar, your server will escort you to the humidor for an excellent selection of cigars. I'm no connoisseur but wanted a good, clean smoke. I chose a $41 cigar but I can't remember the name. :-) Overall experience was 9 out of 10. read more

Three of us stopped in for an afternoon appetizer and drinks. We were recommended three great drinks and appetizers by our server. We chat and chilled with a great people watching view of Richland Ave. We finished the afternoon with an espresso. Yum! This was my second time and won't be the last. read more

Had dinner a few weeks ago and was very pleasantly surprised. Food was great and wait staff very attentive. Going again tonight.

Mother's Day was a delightful celebration of life. We were transported out of aiken and into the Latin quarter of Miami. The food authentic and delicious. The bar top notch craft and mixology. The owners a breath of fresh air! The gazpacho hands down cool and refreshing. The cocktails on pointe! The interior elegant mid modern and the walk in humidor very serious! read more

Damn...the Rhumba is a great time. Albert & Jessica have a great, lively eatery. Saturday in Aiken? How about Cuban food @ Rhumba with a live band? Add a couple strong cocktails! Sign me up!! We had spinach/cod croquettes & seafood paella (weekend special)...mmmm. Live music, great drinks, and amazing eats! Where is everyone? read more

Great location for a great evening out. Great ambiance. Food and mixed drinks were not good though. We ordered the shrimp and octopus ceviche, we couldn't finish the octopus, just wasn't fresh. Then we ordered the chicharrón bites They were dry and the portion was very small. The fried rice was greasy and we were just not loving anything at that point. As a puertorican, I was very disappointed. I'll definitely go back for a good night out and stick to the wine. read more

Spoiled lettuce in the $12 side salad. Threw it away in disgust. Terrible service. Do not recommend eating here.

The food is delightful. However, If you are in your 70s and are going early to grab a quick bite, don't bother going. They offered a high top table, even when we asked to sit at a banquette. We finally were able to convince them it was not comfortable for us, and they "allowed" us to sit at a two top. There was only one other group of three people in the restaurant at that point in time, and only two other tables filled when we left. I had to walk up to the bar to ask for a second cocktail. I had to walk up to the bar to give them my credit card to pay for the meal. The ladies, including the manager, were too busy on their phones and chitchatting to be of much help. Would never go back as there are too many other good restaurants in the Aiken area to have to deal with this type of service. read more

**Review: 3/5** I was excited to try this place because I love Cuban food. This lounge and cigar bar offers an intimate and cozy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening or date night--but not ideal for larger groups due to its small size. The food is a clear highlight: the fried yucca was absolute perfection--crispy on the outside, soft inside--and the empanadas were packed with flavor. The accompanying sauce was just okay; I personally would've preferred something with a garlicky kick to complement the yucca. The attached cigar shop adds a cool touch to the overall vibe, and it's a nice feature for cigar enthusiasts. That said, the value is where this place loses points. Cocktails come in short bourbon glasses, heavy on ice, and cost a steep \$16. The beer selection is also limited, which is disappointing if you're not in the mood for cocktails. If they ever opened a full sit-down restaurant, I'd be back in a heartbeat for the food. But as it stands, the lounge feels overpriced for what you get. Great food, great atmosphere--but not quite worth the price tag for the current setup. read more

This place is amazing. We had dinner with friends on Saturday and every appetizer and main dish was perfectly cooked and presented. The drink menu is extensive and innovative. My friend had the best Aviation I've ever tasted. The staff are friendly and engaging. Overall one of the best dining experiences we've had in Aiken and that is saying a lot. AND they are open Mondays! read more

A surprisingly wonderful Latin cafe laced with Cuban and Miami flair. We sampled quite a few things to include pork belly, ceviche and a Cuban slider. All were well prepared and tasty. The room had a mysterious, speak easy vibe complete with live music and a well stocked humidor. The bar service was excellent and we had a few special cocktails that I have never heard of. I would describe this place as an eclectic slice of decadent culture. read more

Had an amazing lunch yesterday with a friend at Rhumba! Their food was over-the-top and so FRESH! I had the shrimp tacos which had a slight undertone of spice topped with pico mixture and my friend had the Cuban sandwich which was cut up in 4 sections and could feed 4 as an appetizer! HUGE! She said it was the best she has had in a long time. We ordered fried potatoes with dipping sauce which was fried to perfection ( crispy on outside and yummy on the inside). Then for dessert we had flan with Carmel sauce and churros rolled in cinnamon with Nutella dipping sauce. All homemade and freshly made. Rhumba surprisingly rocked our world with all these dishes! The atmosphere was on point too. We sat on comfy sofas by the window with Latin music playing in the background. Our waitress was super charming and accommodating and food came out quickly. Just a 5 star experience in every way! Will be coming back soon! read more

We went on a night with live music highly recommend finding those nights. I packed in Cigars For the Boys to smoke outside which they enjoyed while drinking and talking. The Staff is amazingly fast at serving drinks which I loved not having to look for service they were on it. My two favorite dishes were the fried pork belly and the Cuban Rice because it was so very different and delicious. read more

Servers were nice & admitted they were new but service was horribly disorganized & bartender had NO idea how to make a martini. Glass was 1/2 full, drink was not cold, they had no blue cheese olives and they charged me an additional $2.00 for the "hint of vermouth". I hear the food is good and will go back/give them another try but was incredibly disappointed on my first visit read more

Beautiful interior and exterior. Delicious Latin cuisine! I tried the Empanadas and the plantains for a small bite. Powerpacked with flavor that I almost did the meringue . Kensington and summer were super sweet bartenders and waitress. This place is a must see and do. read more

Beautiful ambience with amazing staff!!! A great find!!! Aiken needed this. Very inviting and I love the owner, Jessica!!!! Wonderful cocktails read more

Ambiance was great. Waitress was great. Some drinks were hit and some were miss. One of the cocktails was not great at all. We asked to send it back. Even though none of the drink was consumed their policy is that we still must pay 50% of the drink. Not the waitress' fault- definitely a bad management policy. read more

Wonderful food and ambience. Lovely owners. This is a great addition to Aiken! Can't wait to go back.

This is our new go to place in Aiken. They have the best cocktails, Latin fare (Cuban fried rice ) and the coolest ambience. Favorite cocktail is The Richland for sure-- but honestly all their drinks are good. Summer is the best bartender and a super cool person. Raven is the best server and an all around awesome human being. The staff are all really cool and the owners are very personable and will help you decide a drink and/or pairing with food or a cigar. This is literally the best thing to happen to Aiken in a long time. My gf and I have established a Rhumba budget just so we can go as much as possible. It's a little pricey but honestly everywhere is and you get quality food and great experiences so it's 100% worth it. read more

Great drinks and great food:-) we can't wait to go back. The yucca fries were the best!

Personal yet professional. The services were so bespoke and beautiful! Very intimate and sexy space! The menu was so incredibly vast and authentically Latin, there's something for everyone!! read more

We have never been to a Cuban themed restaurant so the waitress was very helpful and patient with us. It was great food and service. My husband had an Old Fashion smoked and I had a Cuban Nationale. Both were excellent choices! We'll be back! Great atmosphere! read more

Amazing experience. Beautiful place. Ambience was on point. Service was great and the food y'all OMG. To die for.
