Def recommended!- Carolyn ZimmermanJanuary 25, 2015Just went for drinks and the mojitos were amazing! Best I've had and plan to return for more.

Rumba CaféJune 6, 2013Please join us for Republica Arepa from 7pm-Close for $7 ALL AREAPS! Also, Afro-Cuban Jazz begins at 9:30pm.
MOJITOS. I didn't like them until Rumba. Now I can't get enough. Their simple syrup is mixed to perfection. Not too sweet, but not too bitter.
Tuna ceviche and Lomo is the best dishes on the menu! Soo good
Latest happy hour in Adams Morgan - 7:30! Great $5 mojitos & $4 tapas with unbeatable ambiance.

"Their Huevos Rancheros is muy tasty. Something magical about their combination of black beans, salsa, and eggs."
Justin Schuck - 7.0
"Staff is friendly and helpful. Chimichanga is great. Burger is great, and they know what "Medium" means. Queso is OK, mainly American cheese with Ro-Tel. All in all, a good lunch spot."
