Roots Latin Grill

"The tostones sampler was absolutely awful. They were dry and hard as a rock. We ordered our food to go and it was three tostones with all of the ingredients piled together. No separation and beyond salty. Disappointing because the rest of the order looked appetizing."

"A couple months ago my wife and I were in Springfield, IL and, just by chance, found Roots Latin Grill. I had the Lomo Saltado for dinner, and it was delicious! We were back in Springfield recently and had lunch at Roots. We had two cheese Tostones and a beef Tostone for starters. The cheese Tostones were very good, but the beef Tostone was great! For our main courses, we had Pincho (marinated steak, fantastic seasoning, stuck on a skewer, and grilled) and Camarones al Ajillo (garlic shrimp). Both items were very flavorful and delicious! The servings were generous and ample. Service was excellent. Lunchtime was not crowded, and we were seated right away. On the other hand, the place fills up for dinner. Get there early for dinner or make a reservation. The food is excellent, flavorful, and well prepared. We'll be back in Springfield and will definitely head to Roots for a meal. Highly recommended with two thumbs up!!!"

"Great food & customer service! I especially enjoyed jibarito & guava empanadas:)"

"Roots is hands down one of THE best places to eat in Springfield. The atmosphere, the service, and the food all deserve a higher rating. If there was an option for a 6 star, this place would have it. The only recommendation I can give is, if you come here, order a steak option and ask for a side of chimichuri. You WON'T be disappointed. Oh, and the bar drinks are wonderful!"
