Best Mexican food in Bondi, served with a smile. My friends and I frequent this place most weekends because of the food, the service and live music each Saturday. Great place to hang in the summer after a day at the beach, or sat out front under heaters get cosy in the winter. Cocktails will set you up for a great night also!
Mexican restaurants always grab my attention, because I like no fuss, flavoursome cuisine. The colours, cocktails and fun atmosphere of many eateries are also fabulous. Having said that, I've never been overly impressed with the meals I have tasted...until now!
I did a bit of research before heading to Bondi Rumba, as I'm staying in the area. Sure, the venue is quaint and their back area could use a renovation, but it's a cool place offering great grub. My 'Speedy Gonzales' and 'Baja Fish' tacos were delicious, as were the 'Yucca Fries', which I opted to have with chilli salt and lime seasoning, chipotle mayo, and garlic aioli. To top it off, their Coconut Margarita was outstanding. I arrived shortly after they opened and experienced fast, friendly service.
Fantastic place. Great feed, cool atmosphere and awesome service.
I had the burrito. It was one of the best I have had.
Get chips with the special seasoning too!
Will be returning soon.
Great food and awesome atmosphere, we really enjoyed this place. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There are vegan options available but they are also very willing to make changes to dishes as well. Finish it off with a decent drinks list and decent prices makes it hard to beat.
Always a great night at Bondi Rumba! Fantastic food, atmosphere and not to mention the amazing cocktails. The live music really adds something special to this place, it's great to see local musicians playing in the area :)
Super tasty, awesome atmosphere, fun and great cocktails. The manager Adrian is also a lovely host. Congrats on making a local place as good as anywhere else in Bondi.
Came here with my wife on our trip to Sydney. Best tapas and delicious cocktails. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near Bondi Beach. Definitely coming back when we're back in town.
I've been quite a few times to this funky little bar. Love the music and the food is always fresh and delicious.
Love sharing plates with my friends while we sit back and listen to the fantastic live music. I'm also working my way through the amazing cocktail menu! Love them all!
Their brunch is great too! Love the breakfast burritos! I'm always amazed at how warm and hectic the place is! The amount of food that comes out of the tiny kitchen is amazing. When things are really busy it can be a bit slow, but that's OK because I just sit back and relax and enjoy the beats!
Love this place. have been there with a bunch of work mates and a few other times with just the wife and they've always looked after us. Great little friendly and unique place!
I've been visiting Bondi Rumba for a few years now and I just love this place. The live music is always fantastic and goes perfectly with a cocktail or two. More recently I visited for brunch and it was really good. I'm amazed at the food they can produce from what is probably the smallest restaurant kitchen in Sydney.
My only complaint about this place is that when it's really busy service can be a bit slow.
Up there with Bondi's Best! .... Up there with Bondi's Best!
Bondi Rumba is tough to beat. A rustic room that is easily mixed with the casual backyard means there isn't a bad seat in the house, inside or out. Plus, the staff are genuinely friendly and whenever I've been there, I've been made to feel welcome for as long as we want to stay.
The environment is so friendly and cool that is impossible to not love it. Enjoy the music smartly chosen and all the details that make this place so special and worth to visit in Bondi.
On the kitchen side of it all, I've never had a bad experience. The carefully and fun menu have options for every tastes, and believe me... all options are amazing (but if you don`t know what to order, go for the Amaze Balls, or the quesadillas, or the pastel de frango.... i can`t chose just one).
Drink wise – they know how to mix a cocktail (Caipirinha especially) and the special nights with local deals are really attractive
Great Night Out. A few friends and I went to Bondi Rumba for a quick catch up and ended up staying most of the night. The service was fantastic and tailored to all our needs, food was delicious with lots of vegetarian options, the place and music made for a comfy and lively atmosphere and on top of that the cocktails were up there with the best in Sydney. Will def return whether is be a quiet Monday or the beginning of a busy Sat night out.
Incredible food, inventive cocktails and amazing atmosphere! Made me want to get on a plane to South America and live the real thing all over again. Highly recommended!
RumbaRocks. Awesome staff, they catered to my every need! Great choices of wine, being from brazil I was surprised they had so much knowlage of my food and culture! May I add that the prices and location were inpecable , I would recommend this bar to anybody that is in Sydney! Great time!
Fantastic night out. I took my whole family of 10 to this restaurant and we all had a great time. We were really impressed with the amazing variety of food. Each dish ranged from $5 - $12 so very good value .... and tasty too. We were expecting highly spiced taco style food, but found the range of options to be great. The food was delicious.
We'll definitely all be back.
The nachos were to DIE for. These days most places will cut back on toppings but over here they went all out with the guac, cheese, and chilli. The baja fish tacos are delicious and so flavourful too. Can’t recommend this cozy restaurant enough!
My favourite bar in Bondi! Cozy space, good vibes, down to earth & friendly staff, great music. The cocktails are yummy, the food so good!!! I keep coming back after 9 years and they keep on impressing me 💛
Good vibes, friendly service, the tacos and margarita (coconut) are such a treat after a long day in the sun. Only little downside is the outside seating is a little uncomfortable. Thanks guys!
My wife and I had a super cool date here! Great to get away from the child and enjoy some grown up time. They offered great service and were mindful of social distancing and protocol. Next chance I get to have a drink we will be back !
By far the best Mexican on Glenayr, by far the best Mexican in Bondi, and BEST IN SYDNEY. Great cocktails, the best tequila and tasty, authentic Mexican food. A great vibe with local quality and adoringly non portentous. The staff are really friendly, helpful and full of banter (if you want)... and Make the best Cocktails! (but i have said that twice now)
Have spent my birthdays here with so much singing, laughing and fun! Epic food, yummy cocktails and that small bar intimate feel that only a place like Bondi Rumba can provide.
Best food and delicious cocktails!!
Highly recommend, friendly staff and such a fun vibe! Plant based options!
Must do when visiting Bondi!! Love your work guys, keep it up!
