Rumba Kitchen’s Whole Fried Red Snapper Is One of Many Highlights on its Thrilling Puerto Rican Menu
The way my jaw dropped when Rumba Kitchen’s Chef Omayra Dakis delivered their whole fried red snapper to my table surely touched earth. Dubbed the Chillo Frito, this imposing and remarkable fish dish is then treated to a luscious sofrito beurre blanc sauce that fills every crispy crevice with buttery delight.
Such an exciting dish is but one highlight in a menu of many at Rumba Kitchen, Dakis’ newest venture outside of their triumphant Triple Threat Truck, which was Los Angeles’ first Puerto Rican food truck. At Rumba Kitchen, diners are transported back to Old San Juan via familiar Puerto Rican flavors that are regaled in modern finesse.
The video above highlights a few top choices, but in reality, Rumba Kitchen’s menu is an exciting task to explore, widening the possibilities of what Puerto Rican food can be here in Los Angeles.
