"One of the best restaurants in Bellingham! We walked in and the restaurant was overflowing with smoke and steam from the kitchen so the door was propped open. Now that's authentic! The pork is so tender and flavorful. All the sauces are awesome and it all comes together perfectly on a sandwich. I can't recommend this place highly enough! They also have a bakery/bodega right next door with some unique pastries and other pantry goodies."

"This spot was highly recommended in public forums and we decided to have lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. They also have a sister restaurant right beside selling coffee and other quick snacks. There was a line but it moved fast. We got the fried yucas and choripollo sandwich. The yucas were mindblowing - absolutely delicious, I have not had such texture in a fried dish before. The spice mix sprinkled on it and the sauce was delightful. The chorizo and chicken sandwich was smashing - the chimichurri sauce in it was so tasty we couldn’t believe how good it was. I’m glad we found this place on our visit."

"Hands down one of, if not the best hot sandwich I’ve ever had. I ordered the Choripollo. The mix of the shredded chicken and the salty, spicy chorizo came layered fresh tomato, chimichuri, peppers, sauce and cheese. It was delicious and well spiced. The lettuce on the sandwich was fresh and crunchy, and created some light freshness which only added to the meat and cheese. It came with a side of potatoes doused in sauce, which was a wonderful, hearty, garlic-y addition to the sandwich. It’s hard to describe this sandwich in words, but to me, it hit every flavor profile perfectly. It was bold, exciting, and left me sad that I didn’t order more from the menu."

"One of that better sandwiches that you can enjoy in Bellingham. I’ve noticed that service has been off both times. Employees won’t notice that there are people waiting to order and they’ll be talking in the back. This has happened both times, but the food quality still makes it worth coming here."

"Cafe Rumba was a delightful experience from start to finish. The staff was super friendly and my meal came out without any delay. The pulled pork sandwich was hot, fresh, and super juicy, with just the right amount of spice. Enjoyed every last bite and left me wanting seconds! Highly recommended this place for any and all looking for a satisfying meal. You won't regret it!"
