"Chipotle style" restaurant where you pick your ingredients and they build your item in front of you. Ordered the Rumba Salad (Fresh cooked flour tortilla bowl filled with your choice of meat, beans, rice, corn, leafy greens topped with cheese, salsa, and tortilla strips. Roasted tomatillo ranch or cilantro lime vinaigrette served on the side) Tortilla was regular Tortilla like they use for the burrito so it's not a fried shell, wife enjoyed it. I got the Enchiladas (3 corn tortillas rolled up with your choice of meat. Smothered in red or green sauce
with rice and beans) with Shredded Beef and red sauce, was really good. Beans were also good with the salsa that was on the side, salsa is very mild. Will definitely be back.
This fun little restaurant was my brother's favorite restaurant when he attended Midwestern, which is just down the street. I love eating there anytime I'm in this part of the valley.
I describe it as Chipotle with Flare and fun flavors. They make some pretty good horchata.
First visit to this place and had a very great experience, food is made fresh, cheaper and lighter compared to Chipotle in my opinion. You get the best value for your buck, the staff here are very friendly and I had ordered the Ramba Burrito 🌯 with a side of chips and salsa. Definitely will return in the future! (Red enchiladas) pictured as well with my grandma she said it tasted very well done.
Similar to a Chipotle style experience with a good mix of sides and proteins.
Loved their tropical tea and my shrimp burrito was solid, the amount of shrimp was a little bit on the smaller side hence the star off.
Been coming to Cafe Rumba for years, we're so lucky they're close! The food is refreshing; it's Baja Mexican! One rare characteristic that's difficult to find in most restaurant is that the food is exceptionally consistent; the greens - crispy & fresh every time, the meats - tender & flavorful (OMG the pork & chicken!), chips - thin, warm, lightly salted, the guacamole - well, it's my favorite and it's exquisite. It's family owned, the staff is lovely.
If you're in the mood for fresh Mexican you can't beat Cafe Rumba.

Great first impression. Restaurant was clean, no blaring music, and people of all age groups were dining in while others getting food to go.
They are cheaper than Cafe Rio or Chipotle and although they’re customer service is A MILLION times better their food in my opinion requires some knowledge prior to ordering....
If you do not add a significant amount of sauces and salsas you burrito will be dry. The mango that people rave about would benefit from not being so tough, it’s not quite ripe therefore that great mango isn’t there entirely. The meat also lacks flavor. Cafe Rio although being more expensive has that going for them.
Great little stop for a quick lunch! Their lunch special is always yummy.
We love going to Cafe Rumba, great food, nice staff and reasonable prices.
Great little mom-and-pop shop. Great food. Have to admit what my order friend ordered I liked better was the mango shrimp quesadilla. Very tasty sauces were really good. Place is very clean and everybody was very friendly and accommodating. Price was also good.
My favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch. I like the ability to customize.
