La Rumba Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Lake Charles

Decided to try here for the first time because of the 2 for 1 margaritas. We walked in only a family of 5 was there and 2 or 3 ppl at the bar looked to be a slow night. We took at seat at the bar, cause we originally just wanted to try the margaritas. Bartender let us know only the Strawberry flavored margaritas were 2 for 1 no problem. Then the lady next to us food arrived and she had the shrimp fettuccine looked amazing, my boyfriend suggested we order food because he wanted to try that. I ordered Shimp enchiladas food came out quickly not a very long wait, but my boyfriends fettuccine looked nothing like the ladies it look more like white soup with a few noodles and shrimp 🤦🏾‍♀️ he asked could he just get a little more noodles to attempt to balance out the sauce to noddle ratio. I guess it was a miscommunication between him and the bartender he brought out a second plate of watery sauce and noodles no shrimp we just accepted and didnt say anything else about it. My tortillas were hard I could barely cut through them even though they were covered in white sauce I just ate the over cooked dry shrimp out the middle the bean nothing spectacular I typically don't eat them any way rice blan and flavorless. I mentioned occupancy cause maybe the mishaps could be explained if it was busy but I see no excuse I don't think we will...

First and last time coming here. There were several things that were off-putting. The ambiance is that of a furniture store. Service was a little slow for not being very crowded. Very high booths (nice, but looks out of place) with very bright fluorescent lighting. The mango margarita wasn't bad. The tortilla chips are tasty. The nachos were very disappointing. It wasn't that they tasted bad, but for $15, I would expect at least a little more effort in presentation and ingredients. Chips topped with some meat and cheese then covered with a handful of poorly chopped iceberg lettuce, a scoop of guac and sour cream, and a hand full of pickled jalapenos (I declined the tomatoes). All which were just globs in one spot. I feel like it should be so easy to make their signature nacho dish look appetizing (grilled onions/corn/black beans/cilantro/fresh jalapeno/crema/etc.).

After the nachos - I didn't want to risk any more disappointment and decided to cut my losses. The menu prices seem wild for this type of place. Almost $20 for 3 street tacos is absurd. I wouldn't expect this place to last long. High prices for mediocre food (at best) with a...

Incredibly disappointed in La Rumba overall, not just this location. This particular La Rumba messed up my family's order twice. Didn't receive ketchup for my fries like requested. Twice I had asked so I had to eat bland fries in which I had to sprinkle salt on myself. I was going to leave our waiter a tip (the remaining change I had) but he pocketed some of it. Super dishonest and even insensitive considering the amount of mess-ups. I understand tipping is important and honestly the waiters/waitresses should be paid a living wage. But don't pocket change. It was more than just a few measly coins. Was gonna give him more but since he did that I took my money and left.

The La Rumba in Sulphur used to be spectacular. Hot food, friendly service, never messed up once from the many times I've visited and I've always left nice tips for them. Now since it's reopened it went to, putting it lightly, garbage. Food comes out cold, my friend ordered something requesting cheese be taken OFF because of an allergy. They loaded it with cheese and tried arguing with me the allergy was...
