"This is not just dining. This is Tumbao."
At Tumba'o, we create more than dining — we create an experience. Inspired by the golden era of Havana and the energy of Miami, we blend Cuban roots, Spanish influence, and modern flavors into a refined, sensory journey. From our curated dishes to handcrafted cocktails and live music, every detail is designed to elevate your night. Tumba'o pays tribute to Celia Cruz — not only as an icon of Cuban music, but as a symbol of resilience, joy, and identity for generations of Cubans who were forced to leave their homeland and begin again. Her voice carries the story of exile, of rebuilding, and of keeping culture alive no matter the distance.
Live Music & Karaoke
Live sets, karaoke nights, and everything in between. Tumbao brings Havana's warmth straight to Calle 8. Every night feels a little different.
Fresh Every Day
The menu shifts with the season. Our chef picks fresh ingredients every day and builds around what's good right now. The cooking stays consistent either way.
Handcrafted Cocktails
Classic mojitos, Cuban daiquiris, and Tumbao Originals you won't find anywhere else. Every drink is made from scratch behind the bar.
