We had Roots/Raizes cater for our event. Jesus, jorge and the waiters did an amazing job with organizing. The food is always amazing at the restaurant and couldn't expect less at the event. I highly recommend this place and will definitely use them in the future. Thank you so much !!

I’ve visited Roots Cafe quite a bit since moving my office into the DCOH last September! Breakfast options are excellent! I love the breakfast tacos!Lunch options are also very good! Love their salads! The staff is friendly and they work hard to ensure the meals are served promptly!Stop into the Roots Cafe when you’re here at the DCOH!

Parking: The main parking lot has lots of availability and if there is inclement weather, park in the garage!
