Bondi Rumba

Experience a Mexican food fiesta with friends at Bondi Rumba, where you can indulge in your favourite bites like tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos.

The drinks menu is equally impressive, with a focus on fresh cocktails featuring agave and margaritas made with real lime juice, as well as local and Latin American beers and wines. This cozy Latin beach shack offers a fun and friendly atmosphere for dining and people watching.

Chouchou
