La Rumba is described as having the "highest quality, most delicious Mexican food the Emerald Coast has to offer" on its website. The restaurant recently opened a location at 4016 U.S. 90 East in Broussard and also operates locations in Vinton, Jennings, Sulphur and Plaquemine.

La Rumba offers a large menu that includes everything from burritos, enchiladas and tamales to steak, burgers and salads.

Jolie's closed its doors forever on Valentine's Day after more than seven years in business. Gregory Doucet, Jolie's executive chef, is now developing the dining services for a new luxury senior living facility.
