The place looks simple at first. Not many people at 7:30 on weeknights. But within 5-10 minutes it got busy. The server was very pleasant and the service was fast. The menu is very long and detailed. I recommend you see the menu before you go there. It could be overwhelming. We ordered Lomo Saltado (beef and rice). Beef was excellent and of very good quality. My husband got fish tacos. He was very happy with his choice. Then we ordered Tres Leches cupcake. It looked great. But the milk didn’t have enough time to be absorbed by the cake. We ate it and enjoyed it anyway. Highly recommended and definitely will go back soon

Wonderful food, great atmosphere, and kind staff. We split a plate of the tostones and the empanadas and tried a mixture of both the vegetarian and meat dishes; everything was amazing and would absolutely recommend all of it. The passionfruit mousse dessert was delicious! Thank you!

What a genuine pleasant surprise to find this level of quality in Springfield, as a Mexican man owns his own restaurant, I know exactly the amount of prep work and dedication it takes, to have not only the presentation on these beautiful dishes? But the level of quality and outstanding taste.
Originally, only came to try that tostones and empanadas, but ended up trying several different dishes. One of my favorite was a chorizo salad.Finally something unique in springfield.
Absolutamente, se los recomiendo familia, si son de México o Centroamérica? Por favor, no dejen que se les pase este restaurant

It was OK. Easily the best thing on the menu was the plantain steak sandwich. If they held the other food to that standard they would get 5 stars. My fries were pale, but my brothers were golden and crispy.
The yucca fries weren't crispy and the arepa was mid. It was pretty expensive, I literally just ate the week before at a Latin restaurant downtown NY for a lot cheaper.
The staff was very friendly, but definitely lacked knowledge about the food. But very friendly, non the less.
Has potential
Go here for something different than the norm. Was good, hope to try something different soon

Service was great and the food was amazing!
absolutely delicious a very unique.
The atmosphere was nice. The Menu is full of authentic dishes from south America and latin America. The Peruvian ceviche was quite good and tasted fresh. I was fairly dissapointed in the serving size and the fact that the dish is traditionally served with discs sweet potatoe, had sweet potatoe listed on the menu, but dish came with a tiny brown mini boiled potatoe. Totally not the same thing and not what the menu advertised. Also it's traditionally served with giant Peruvian white corn. Also on the menu. Also not in my dish. The white fish and lime juice and onions were good but it was missing half the ingredients that make it Peruvian ceviche that were also on the menu.
I’m very picky when it comes to trying new things but everything I have tried so far on the Latin roots menu has been delicious!
The food wash great!! And they have some vegetarian options which tasted very good.
