Rumba Cubana — Restaurant in North Bergen

I have been coming to Rumba for years, and it remains hands down the best Cuban dining experience you can find. Every visit feels like a celebration of authentic Cuban flavors paired with top-tier hospitality — all at incredibly economical prices.

The food is consistently outstanding. The Churrasco is perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with rich, savory flavor. Their Cuban Bowls are a hearty, delicious delight packed with vibrant, fresh ingredients that always hit the spot. And the appetizers? Absolute perfection. From the crispy empanadas to the mouth-watering croquetas, every bite feels like a mini vacation to Havana.

The drinks at Rumba are just as spectacular. The bartenders are true masters of their craft, shaking and stirring classic Cuban cocktails like mojitos with flair and precision. But the real showstoppers are their Mango Margaritas — refreshing, tropical, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Every sip feels like paradise in a glass, and the prices make indulging in another round all too tempting.

And let’s not forget the desserts — the sweet finale every meal deserves. Their desserts are just as irresistible, offering the perfect blend of sweetness and authentic Cuban flair without breaking the bank.

But what truly sets Rumba apart is the exceptional service. The waiters are attentive, welcoming, and always eager to recommend the best dishes of the day. The bartenders are charismatic and talented, making the bar feel like its own lively, vibrant scene. Even the busboys deserve praise for their efficiency and kindness, ensuring everything runs smoothly with warm, genuine smiles.

The atmosphere at Rumba is lively, warm, and inviting, making you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in. After all these years, Rumba has maintained its excellence and charm — a true testament to their dedication to quality, hospitality, and affordability.

If you're looking for the most authentic, delicious, and affordable Cuban dining experience, look no further than Rumba. I can’t wait to go back —...

I’ve been several times before, and this place is always fantastic. The ambience and the food really are stellar. Cuban style Spanish food with lots of options.

There are some insane appetizers and tapas, that I sometimes will mix and match for my main meals.

Faves: the appetizer sampler for sharing (they also have a Vegetarian sampler, still filled with deep fried goodness), the Aguacate Relleno (A whole avocado stuffed with either shrimp or fish ceviche) - it’s bright, fresh, and so delicious, and the Lancha de Regla - a whole sweet plantain stuffed with picadillo (seasoned ground beef) and melted cheese on top.

Their Cuban sandwiches of all styles are also really fantastic.

Another personal fave are the Mofongos. Mashed plantains with a garlic seasoning and sauce and with your choice of meat or cheese inside and out. :: chefs kiss ::

The steaks, fish and chicken in the Cuban/ Latin style are really knockout main dishes. The Churrasco (skirt steak) is always fantastic here!

It was my birthday this last time I went and they came out with instruments and a really fun birthday song and even gave me a tres Leches (maybe 4! Haha) cake dessert. My fave!

The ambience is really amazing, the whole restaurant gives a 1950s Cuba style with historic cars outside for a perfect photo op, and the inside looking like a brightly colored house - oranges and pinks and palm trees and authentic style paintings, that I’d see in houses in the Caribbean.

The servers are so friendly and nice, even tho we came at 10:30 and they close at 11. There...

I never write a bad review because we are human and everyone makes mistakes but this location is consistently giving me my order wrong. I just did an order for pick up. I arrived and opened the bag just to check my mofongo because they always get it wrong and this time it was right! I was pleased and left. Unfortunately, I did not take the time to check every single item. Again they left out food. They forgot the beans. This was a 75$ order. I don't think it's a lot to ask for all my food to be in my bag when I pick it up. I have had to return to pick up food that has been forgotten many times in the past. I keep going there because it is the rumba closes to me but it is just not worth it at this point. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. I know it doesn't reflect the whole team but someone needs to more careful. They offered me to go back and pick up the missing beans. I will not be picking up my beans since I do not have time to go back and forth until my order is right. We all work and have responsibilities. I am not just home doing nothing. Thank you I hope this issue gets corrected before any more customers have to go through this inconvenience and lose...
