Rumba Seattle’s Delectable Caribbean Menu
Papaya Salad
The Papaya Salad is a refreshing and colorful masterpiece that harmoniously combines Royal Star papaya, alongside fresh mint, coriander, jicama, cucumber, cabbage, and cashews. This symphony of textures and flavors is elegantly unified by a drizzle of cilantro-lime vinaigrette, adding a zesty and aromatic touch. For those seeking an extra layer of indulgence, the option to include succulent coconut shrimp is available, transforming this salad into a delightful fusion of taste and texture. Each bite embarks on a culinary journey to the Caribbean, where freshness and vibrancy take center stage.
Smoked Brisket
The Smoked Brisket is a carnivore's dream come true. This dish showcases tender, smoky shredded beef brisket that practically melts in the mouth. An exquisite example of culinary craftsmanship, the dish's rich, deep flavors are complemented by a bed of creamy guacamole, providing a contrast that's both savory and luxurious. A drizzle of chile Guajillo salsa introduces a gentle kick of heat, while the addition of crispy onions adds a delightful crunch. To top it off, a generous sprinkling of Cotija cheese enhances the dish's texture and infuses it with a hint of saltiness. Each bite delivers a harmonious blend of smokiness, creaminess, and a touch of spice, making this dish an unforgettable culinary experience.
Cuban Sandwich
The Cuban Sandwich pays homage to a beloved Caribbean classic, and it does so with finesse. At its core is shredded braised pork shoulder, a meat cooked to tender perfection. This is complemented by the irresistible smokiness of smoked bacon and the robust flavors of Black Forest ham. Swiss cheese adds a creamy, slightly nutty note, while pickles introduce a burst of tanginess. Caramelized onions bring a touch of sweetness, and a hint of Dijon mustard ties all the ingredients together with its subtle heat and piquancy. What makes this sandwich even more special is the house-made Cuban bread, which serves as the perfect vessel to hold all these delectable components together. To add a refreshing contrast to this rich and savory masterpiece, the sandwich is served with a side of jicama and cucumber, offering a crisp and light accompaniment to balance the flavors.

Reviews
Wow! Had a great experience here Thursday 1/18 at the bar! We had been once to Inside Passage before but had always wanted to come back for Rumba… which did not disappoint. Preston and Gregor were both very knowledgeable for a newcomer to Rum. Overall the service was outstanding, both the drinks and the Rum were amazing, and we loved the atmosphere! They have over 700 different bottles to choose from as well. I will definitely be back for more soon, props to the bartenders!
Rumba has an incredible selection of rums - one of the best in the world, more than 700 at last count. They're always getting new ones in, and all of their bartenders manage to know about nearly all of them, offering incredible …
Some of the best service and interaction I've had at a restaurant in a while. The indirect lighting, colors, attention to details and rustic atmosphere is a nice invitation to come. The food was absolutely delicious. The empanadas were …
Amazing cocktails! You can taste the fresh ingredients they use and the service was awesome. Definitely try the painkiller! The speakeasy inside was also very cool and had great drinks as well. Worth the money 100%.
This cocktail is a delight for the eyes and the palate. Sit at the bar and chat with the friendly bartender, who might surprise you with a complimentary daiquiri shot.
We came here for a night out with friends. Incredible food and drinks. Phenomenal rum selection. The service could be improved, but the environment was charming and comfortable. We'll be back here next time we visit Seattle!
I enjoyed the mai tai and felt the pricing was in line with most places and the surrounding area. The food was good, albeit a bit pricey for the size/quantity you receive. If you're going for a night out, and you like rum, Rumba is a place to visit every once in a while unless you have a large amount to spend.
For 2 years I had been looking forward to experiencing the island vibes in Cap Hill at Rumba and it was an overall underwhelming experience. The biggest highlight is their rum flights and pure rum selection. Any rum fan can and will …
Within the Seattle area lies an excellent tiki bar. It lies within the walls of Rumba, which in itself is a pretty cool rum bar, over 500 rums! Hidden Passage is somewhat of a speakeasy. You enter through a side passage, and once through …
Phenomenal little spot! Inside Passage is an awesome Tiki getaway without the expensive airfare. The Spam Sliders were just as I hoped! Drinks are well crafted and delicious.
