Such a great experience, the staff was so friendly and accommodating. I celebrated my mother's bday here. The food was really good, I had the Salmon Tropical, the sweet mango and pineapple flavors were surprisingly a nice combination. The lychee martini punched me in the face hahaha it was so strong, I recommend the frozen guava daiquiri! It's a really nice restaurant, I recommend you visit with family and/or friends. read more

Food was excellent, but the service felt extremely rushed. We were asked to order almost immediately after sitting down, the food arrived within minutes, and staff began clearing the table as soon as we finished eating. We were there for only about 15 minutes and never got the chance to relax and enjoy the meal. Great food, but the dining experience felt more like being rushed through than being welcomed. read more

Great service and food. Drinks always on point. Always a great experience going. Would have loved to have dinner outside, yet being there with four teenagers inside had to cut it. Great big portions and tasteful Cuban food. read more

What a great Cuban restaurant! I wish we had these in New York City. Everything that we ordered on the menu was so flavorful and delicious. The customer service was also great. They gave us all of our food quickly and were constantly filling our water cups. They have classic cars outside that really create a welcoming atmosphere. Inside is pretty spacious and great for groups and families. I would definitely go back to try more on the menu. read more

(Dined 07/14/23 FR @ 8:00pm): My belly was doing the rumba for some Cuban food after drinking with friends! Rumba Cubana was the closest desirable restaurant walking distance from New Jersey Brewing Co. where a small group of us were drinking. I Liked Cuban cuisine but had to limit myself to seafood on this no-meat Friday. This place was bumping and was my first experience with Cuban food in New Jersey, so I was excited about that. Would the flavors of this Caribbean island tantalize our taste buds to dance and do the rumba in our respective mouths!? PURCHASE Rumba's Cadillac ($13.95): Made with El Jimador reposado tequila, lime juice, triple sec, sour mix, and Grand Marnier floated on top, this margarita was a welcomed change of pace from the hoppier beers we were drinking. Sorry... forgot to snap a picture, Blue Cuban #2 ($13.95): Made with Selvarey white rum, blue curaçao, Rumba's coconut mix, lime juice, and coconut water floated on top, I was solely sold on the color of this blue Hawaiian which could've used more rum. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=e9QckStlEHqymszZ-aKr3g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Ceviche De Camarones ($8.95): Shrimp cured in lime-tomato marinade, onions, and cilantro, served with crispy plantain chips, I was disappointed with the small portion, the lack of shrimp, and wished the marinade was spicier and thicker. The plantain chips seemed like a throwaway. A simple but lackluster dish. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=DdTOMnsLfBowFvxqFSpE_g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw El Pescador ($19.95): Pan-seared filet of fish topped with shrimp, shimmered in a zesty creole sauce, white rice, and sweet plantains, the fish although on the small side was nice and moist, the shrimp was a lovely touch, and the mound of steaming white rice paired well with the sauce while the sweet plantains was an dessert. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=oI8ByUxaeF0LpTXpjArviw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw SERVICE We were warmly greeted by an older gentleman who was able to find us a table on a busy Friday night. Although we needed time to decide what to eat, we all quickly ordered drinks which came out surprisingly fast. Once our party of five ordered food, our dishes arrived around ten minutes later. We were periodically checked on with empties being removed and our water glasses filled. They allowed us to relax and converse after we were done with no pressure to leave - thank you! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) We initially took the light rail to Tonnelle Ave. Station to drink at nearby New Jersey Brewing Co., which was then a quick five minute walk to this eatery. They had their own sizable onsite lot. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Tonnelle Ave. and nearby surrounding side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A large floorplan with several rooms completely packed with chairs/tables and a familiar homely feel. Honestly, I couldn't recall anything else since I was more focused on getting some food into my belly. During the daytime, I imagined plenty of natural lighting entered through the many glass windows while a ton of dim electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I couldn't recall if there were any TVs or any background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL For the brief amount of time spent here on pure happenstance, I'd like to make another visit especially on a non-Friday. Based on what everyone else ordered and my own, I felt there were more than enough positive things I saw. The menu had plenty of options, the prices were comparable, the drinks and food were good enough, and the service was adequate. And, whenever possible I liked to support small family-owned and/or local businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $60.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

The vibes are giving Havana, Cuba. Both gorgeous inside and out! They also have seating inside and outside, very spacious. The decor was spectacular, lights, signs, old cars, photos, the ambiance is 10/10. They really make you feel like you're back in Cuba. The price was fairly cheap, it was 6 people total the bill was $250. Not bad at all. There were definitely many good options to choose from. I would personally say the appetizers were better then the meals. We got guacamole with chips, 10/10. Bacon wrapped yuca, 20/20!! *that's a must try* guacamole was good, just a lot 8/10. Drinks we had lemonade, mezcal mules and bottled water, 10/10. Our meals how ever, eh. I got the garlic chicken, I was not a fan, 5/10. Vaca con ropa was pretty good, 7/10. I would def try this cuban cuisine out if you're in the area, keep it light and stick to drinks and appetizers. read more

Rumba Cubana in North Bergen completed our quest to dine at all of the Rumba Cubana locations. As always, the food was delicious and the service was good. We visited this location for brunch after the Breast Cancer Walk in Newark on Sunday the 15th of October 2023. It was early so parking was very easy, the lot was nearly empty. We were seated immediately. Our server was very nice. The decor was tropical and cuban esq. Music was low enough to add to the ambience and still allowed for conversation. The food was on point, hot and delicious, My daughter had the dish that comes with a little of everything and she loved it. My husband and I had the fish and shrimp in a tomato sauce with black rice and fried sweet plantains. So delicious. Now we will select a new restaurant group to try! read more

Their paella has me sick as a dog oh my. Never order a stitch of seafood from them..... ever.

My first impression was that this restaurant is very affordable & the ambiance was beautiful, my partner & I sat outside on their nice patio. The guacamole was delicious I loved that it had pineapple in it, it gave such a nice splash of flavor. My steak dinner was absolutely delicious. The fried crust on top was extremely delicious. Upon ordering, I had no idea there was crust on it. I thought I was getting a regular sirloin steak/ there was a bit of a language barrier between us and the waiter. He said the steaks were made on the grill but this steak was clearly fried. But overall I loved the fried steak. My partner was disappointed because he did not want to eat anything fried. Also, the rice and beans were absolutely delicious. read more

Bang for the Buck is still ringing in my ears. Service is excellent and food is superb. Ambiance is reminding you of Little Havana in Miami although it is a little colder weatherwise but that doesn't present a problem. Came here after a visit to New York City. We were looking for a place to eat during lunch and thought it might be a good place. The place didn't disappoint. I think they just opened for lunch and a lot of things were still setting up but it didn't matter. The only thing that was slightly off the mark and I mean every so slightly was Filete de Pescado con Cangrejo and not because it wasn't good. It was just a little too much and probably because it was covered in Crab meat it made bass a little watery. It was tasty it was good it was a little too much but just slightly off the mark. Since we visited on Sunday they had Ajiaco available and boy that was one of the best soups I've ever had. Honestly if you have a chance to visit this place please do. You won't be disappointed. read more

1st time to Rumba & just have to say, Wow!!! Walk upstairs & enter the restaurant & you feel like you have been transported into a different place and time. The decor, music & even staff uniforms give you a full Cuban vibe. Service is fantastic. All are on the move all the time. An extra plus is the location. You have an amazing view of the NY city skyline. We started our evening with some classic cocktails & enjoyed the music & Atmosphere after we placed orders. Now, let's talk about the food! Based on our servers recommendation,we had a Cuban sampler platter & we had an order of the shrimp cerviche for our appetizers. Everything was flavorful & authentic tasting. For dinner, our party of 3 each tried something different Sandwich Cubano, Ropa Vieja & Un Poquito de Todo ( a little bit of everything) A Combination Of Our Signature Roasted Pork, Shredded Beef, Steamed Cassava With Mojo, & Fried Sweet Plantains. Finished the evening with cafe con Leche & expresso & a order of Flan. We departed with full bellies & leftovers for another meal. The only challenge you may encounter is parking. They do have valet service, even though we did find on street parking. read more

I love coming here! This is always a go to local restaurant for me. They have unbeatable prices in the area and the food always leaves you feeling satisfied. The staff is very friendly and attentive to your needs and what always catches me off guard is how quick they are with service and how the servers tend to one another's tables to ensure quality service and make sure no one needs anything while their colleagues tend to other tables. There is valet parking , as well as street metered parking nearby. They have an outdoor seating area/patio that is decorated nicely and the inside has also been updated. read more

The food though named authentically is unfortunately served Americanized. Cuban food is what you crave when you want a rich tasty dish. That's not the case at the Tonelle location my dish was bland and appeared to be slopped together quickly. Service was ok, they lack attention to detail, I had to ask for silverware. Ambiance is great the dining area has good lighting, seating is adequate and music is good and kept at a volume that allows for conversation. read more

My sister recommended this restaurant for Friday night dinner. I did not enjoy the coconut mojito. I enjoyed the sangria, they have a lot of flavors you can try. I ordered the regular white sangria and wished I would've added a flavor. The shrimp and avocado on the side were delicious. I wouldn't return only because I've had better Cuban food. read more

The food was just ok, but overly salty in every dish. The prices are low, but I don't think it's worth going with all the extra salt. Rice and beans were good, though. You also have to have valet parking, but it's free. Feels unnecessary. Also this guy asked to take our picture and we thought it was to show diversity on their website or something because we looked like an Asian family (my bf the white guy was in the bathroom when the photographer first approached us). We said yes and then my boyfriend joined us and he took our pictures. At the end of the meal, he brought out 4 framed photos and said they were $20 each. We got one for laughs and it was a funny experience, but also not cool. read more

I have been to this location many times but this is my first review. I ordered my meal of the Enchilado de Camarones online and it was about $16. When I arrived I parking in their smaller lot. I walked in and gave the lady my name and my food was ready. When I got in I dug in and the food was very good. They gave a lot of rice, I didn't eat it all. The shrimp was very good and flavored well. I enjoyed it and as usual I will return. read more

This Cuban restaurant has a great fun ambiance that's great for large groups or family gatherings. We were a group of 9 and sat at a table outside. They had a great selection of Spanish music playing. We ordered a variety of dishes, some of the standouts were the empanadas, yuca fries, calamares rumberos, ceviche. The lechon asado was very flavorful and had the crispy pork skin. The Vaca Frita was a bit on the salty side but otherwise the food was good. Service was great especially since we were a large group but they definitely made it work and were attentive. For drinks we ordered the Sangria pitchers, margaritas and mojitos. The margaritas were very strong, the Sangria was basically juice and my favorite was the mojito. The prices were reasonable. read more

Rumba Cubana is absolutely one of the best places to grab Cuban food in NJ. This was at the North Bergen location which is by far the best for food and overall experience. Enjoy indoor or outdoor seating and their famous pina colada. We had amazing service as we were celebrating a friends birthday and they came and played a song and gave him a treat big enough for us all to share. I highly 10/10 recommend the vaca frita with rice and beans. This was slightly different from my usual churrasco which is also amazing and you truly can't go wrong. So sit back and feel like your in Havana. read more

While visiting family for the holidays we came here for lunch. The atmosphere is fun and the view by the windows is great as you can see the Hudson River. We ordered family style and split a few orders. The ceviche was excellent and very flavorful, especially with avocado. Some of the dishes were a little too salty, like the stew and mofongo. Despite being a little too salty, it was an excellent meal. read more

Rhumba is always a good stop for authentic Cuban Cuisine at a very reasonable price. On this particular night ( last minute) for us, it was very busy with take out and the kitchen was overwhelmed. They were closing early as well. We waited a long time for our meal with the entrees coming out before the appetizers. Our waiter gave them to us on the house. This is not the normal for Rhumba. Since it was Christmas Eve and a last-minute for us, I was forgiving. Based on many previous meals here, I would still recommend them for solid Cuban in a fun environment. read more

I was in town for work and my customer recommended this place. I asked the waiter for a recommendation and he suggested a combo platter to try a little of everything. He even brought me out extra sauces to try. The dinner was delicious. The meat and pork were tender, the black rice had a wonderful flavor and the plantains were great, but my real dessert was the coconut flan. It was AMAZING. Maybe best flan I ever had. The place is cute, with plenty of seating. The service was friendly and fast. I highly recommend giving them a try! read more

I just finished dining here for my son's graduation party. I am extremely impressed with Rumba Cubana for several reasons. The manager on site today was simply phenomenal! She was extremely accommodating as I first had around 15-20 guests which turnt into 30 guests very quickly. Female manager on 06/22/24 at night. She was simply amazing ! Moreover, the food was extremely good and the portions were huge ! I will be coming back here and I will be telling everyone I know about this place !

Great experience! We had a group of 15 and the service was great. We sampled several of the appetizers and were very pleased. Chicharroncitos de Puerto- Ohhhhhh my goodness! Order it! Chorizo Salteado- Absolutely delicious. Slices of links without big chunks of fat. Papas Rellenas - This is a safe bet for non adventurous people. It had a good flavor and texture. However, I quickly realized that I wanted to save room for the more flavorful options. Fritura de Maiz Tierno - Another safe bet for non adventurous people...or kids. They were tasty, but not very special. Guacamole - I have no idea how they made this so delicious! Some of the best guac I've ever had! Ensalada Tropical con Pollo - Its like an explosion of fresh flavors in your mouth. After several heavy fried appetizers, this was a refreshing entree and left me feeling semi-responsible in my choices. read more
