Make a wish. That’s what patrons do at Rumba café when they pin dollar bills to the masks, statues and instruments adorning the walls. It’s one of the many imported Central and South American traditions that make this restaurant so vibrant.  The art and food reflect the owner’s travels and roots in South America.  Live music Thursday through Saturday tie this café together as a cultural liaison in every sense.
