Rumba – Casa Latina

Well quite a hidden gem! Let’s not pretend its in Heaton cos it isn’t. It’s Byker. But don’t let that put you off, nor should you let the neighbouring properties make it appear to be a takeaway, because it isn’t. They were turning people away, and I’m not surprised! Our Groupon deal, although offering the cheapest option to prompt you to upgrade, still gave us some dynamite food. Garlic mushrooms were great, as we’re the nachos for one. The fajita chicken wraps with salad were tasty and filling. We left stuffed.
The outside is pretty ropey. Little to no advertising, poor surroundings, some sparkly lights. The welcome was good, but beware if you are booking online versus on the phone as it seems to cause some overbooking on a Friday night.
I go again though! Without a doubt.
