Take advantage of New Haven's greatest pizza.
One of New Haven's most popular restaurants is Rubamba.
Many New Haven pizzerias serve more than just pizza, so sample some of the city's other delicaci…
We have ordered from here several times and everything we've tried has been delicious. When ordering the Tacos Gringos - the "Crispy" tacos, we always ask for the fillings to be sent separately. They always accommodate and then we can crisp up the shells, and it's never soggy. I particularly like the Chancho Burrito, the meat is very flavorful.

Super disappointed. I ordered a burrito, a side of rice and beans, and an elote. The burrito is huge and will definitely carry me through a second and probably even third meal, and the elote was at least buttery, soft, and comforting. Unfortunately, that’s where the excitement ended.
The rice was cooked well, but the only thing giving “authentic Latin yellow rice” was the color. No seasoning, no depth, no warmth. Just bland. The beans tasted like they were poured straight from a can with little done to elevate them. And the burrito? More of the same flavorless rice and beans wrapped around a dry, underseasoned chicken breast and rolled into a flour tortilla the size of my forearm.
At this point, I almost want to open the whole thing up and doctor it myself with salt, pepper, pico de gallo, lime, maybe even some hot sauce just to make it enjoyable. I’m honestly shocked there wasn’t even salsa or sour cream included, because it desperately needs something to bring moisture and flavor to the dish.
For the price, I genuinely feel like I could have made something far more flavorful at home for a third of the cost. If you’re looking for bold, authentic Latin flavors, this probably is not the spot. Keep looking.

I've been a customer of Rubamba for years - it's one of my favorite spots when I'm in town so the recent quality of my arepa was surprising. It was hard, dry and buried underneath the rice as if to hide the error. My friend ordered a single arepa and had a similar experience - hard and dry. A bit of a let down given the significant price increase of their menu items over the past few years.

I've been a loyal customer for 5+ years Price has gone up $3 in the past year or two for the arepas for some reason ... new empanadas are a downgrade which is very disappointing Give the ¡ay arepa! Cart a try if you want the same quality for half the price

I really didn't like the empanadas, they were very greasy and laid on a small limp slightly brown bed of lettuce. and the filling is almost flavorless. I love the churros though, perfectly sweet and crunchy and the dulce de leche sauce is delicious!
