The extensive menu, displayed in the form of an old newspaper, includes hearty dishes such as empanadas, guajillo prawns, enchiladas and skirt steak to name a few. For lighter bites, diners can tuck into guacamole Rumba, salmon ceviche and tacos de pescado.

Sinful desserts include maiz pavlova, tres-leches baked Alaska and the crowd-pleasing churros. The fiesta continues with Rumba’s classic Latin American influenced beverages and sugarcane-infused creative concoctions.
