Sampler Tostones
Linda P.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! The place was hopping on a Friday night. I sat at the bar and had an exceptional view of the precision and attention that the lead bartender paid to each and every drink. Wished I wasn't heading to a meeting or I'd been sampling the offerings instead of sipping my coke. I had the beef and pork Tostones on my sampler. I really liked the poem but I LOVED the beef. There were so many tasty looking items on the menu. I hope I'll be traveling to Springfield more often.

Yea... not completely bad but not great. My sandwich was just so messy and hard to eat. Fell apart too easily and the meat inside fatty. No bite I was I able to bite thru the sandwich..... either too hot, fatty or the wilted lettuce pulled everything out. Fries were fair and only had water to drink. Waitress was very polite and restaurant was clean.... Just my meal, I wasn't a fan at all of.

Without a doubt I have been sleeping on Roots (and I live close enough I should have gone sooner). My entire family went for my 40th birthday last night and were blown out if the water! Some of the best food in Springfield, one of the best waitresses and all around service in Springfield and the location although quaint is very clean and fitting of the look they are going through. If you have not gone - go now - full stop!

Smoked pisco sour! Amazing

Fantastic food. Such a unique experience. Along with Ardor in Peoria I have to say this place is right up there on my top 5 places to eat in central Illinois!

Papas a la Huancaina
Sandi F.

Hidden behind the iHop on Wabash ave. in an unassuming strip mall lies Roots Latin Grill. We stopped by on a summer Friday and without reservations were seated at the bar. Fine by us as it was entertaining watching the bartenders make interesting cocktails and visit with guests. Our cocktails were beautiful and did the trick of erasing the anxiety inducing traffic stress that is 80 west. For dinner we had empanadas, an arepa, and the papas a la Huancaina. The chicken empanada was definitely one of the tastiest and juiciest empanadas I have ever had the pleasure of eating. The papas reminded me of a warm potato salad my grandma would make it she were Peruvian and didn't love mayo so much. Hard to stop eating. Roots is worth the drive from... well wherever you may be going that takes you through Springfield.
