We visited this restaurant and had a very disappointing experience. The wait time was terrible. They served my husband’s food first while my son and I continued waiting. My husband finished his meal and our food still had not arrived.
When our food was finally served, it was extremely greasy. The food was soaked in oil, with grease left all over the plate. When we complained, we were told that this is “how the plates are served here”
On top of that, the restaurant was extremely cold, and they did not have the heat on, which made the experience even more uncomfortable.
Poor service and overly greasy food made this an unpleasant experience. I do not recommend this place at all.

Just opened my pick up order and this is exactly what I got. This meal cost me $47 which includes a 15% tip. Does this look like a $47 dollar meal to anyone? I’m sorry, but I was actually excited to order in tonight, you have to do better.

The atmosphere was really nice, the servers were great as well. Our server was also the bartender. The drinks were not all that great. The food was mediocre. I and some of my friends ordered the steak options and they do not ask how you want it cooked and mine was well done and hard to eat. Some of the appetizers were appetizing. I can say the menu pricing was inexpensive. I am not sure If I would eat at this restaurant again but maybe give another Latin restaurant a try.

My friends/family and I dined at Kumbia in Rockville around 11:30pm last night. We walked in with 7 people and the owner Alejandra got us seated at a round table right away. She was very friendly, engaging and accommodating from the very beginning. The music and ambiance was great and transitioned into a night club setting. After stuffing our faces with great Ecuadorian and Peruvian cuisine we stuck around to enjoy more cocktails and music from the DJ. We ate, drank and danced all night. What’s not to love about a place like this? The severs and managers were attentive & excellent. I’ve been to Kumbia before a couple of times before but only for late night drinks. I can’t wait to come back for the whole experience again. Thank you Alejandra and staff for a wonderful time.
Salud!!!!

We got married at VisArts up the street and took the wedding here for the after party. The ambience was great, lovely dance floor and outdoor seating for those who wanted to chat. Steven was really wonderful to work with, they got a DJ and the party barely missed a beat when the official wedding ended. They really made our night and our guests had a great time. The other people in the bar had a blast too. Definitely recommend this place for night life in Rockville.

We ordered some Peruvian ceviche and they were pretty good. I’d say they need to improve the fish to leche de tigre ratio as they have a good amount of fresh fish but not enough leche to let it all absorb the flavors. The lomito for kids was tasty. The service is friendly and quick. I feel like this place is more vibrant in the evenings. We’d have to come back to try the Colombian and Argentinian dishes next time.

It was my third time at this place and I had an amazing time. The service was great, and after dinner it turns into a kind of club atmosphere. DJMC was the DJ for the night and he’s really good at music and mixing. We stayed until the very end with our friends, thanks also to our bartender who helped us a lot. Highly recommended.

The food was almost great. The salteñas were delicious, but the outer shell (la masa) was too hard! It cracked, and al the juice leaked out.
La parrilla we had was prepared very well. Just wish the meat were thicker sliced but economy, right? That maracuya mousse – oh boy, i want seconds!

We decided to check out Kumbia based on the reviews, but we left disappointed!

My girlfriend and I walked in and waited patiently for a table, it took 20 minutes for someone to approach us. We decided to sit at the bar instead. We immediately felt the room temperature being hot, NO AC, only fans were blowing within the restaurant.
Understanding that they were busy and shortstaffed.
They had a live band and dancers performing.
-We ordered marranitas for the appetizer
3 pieces in a order but we ate only 1
it was dry with no flavor
– cazuela de frijoles – too salty
– pandeja paisa – steak was dry, flavorless and tough, frijoles was salty, chicharron was hard and oily returned a 80% full plate
I asked for the check and let the bartender know our that we were not satisfied with the dishes and why did he charge us a 20% late night fee? This was 2pm in the afternoon.
I asked if anything can be done to the check? Nothing at all
No discounts, no removal of any item and the included fee was still on the $89 check
Paid and left. We won’t be back.
Hope they do better!

It is a good restaurant to try out different Spanish food. However, there are not many options for people who do not eat red meat . We ordered a couple of items, and some of the food was good, and some were okay. The ambiance was good as they played good music.
