" I recently tried Roots for lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety on the menu. I ordered the pupusas which were delightful and had so much flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it a perfect spot to catch up with friends. The only downside was that service was a bit slow, but the staff was polite. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting good Guatemalan food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Root should be proud of their unique menu offering flavors from Guatemalan cuisine. I was blown away by the crab cakes appetizer; fresh and vibrant in seasoning. I had a steak dish that paired beautifully with chimichurri. Despite a wait for the order, totally worth it! This is a place I plan to revisit whenever I can! " (*Curated Review*)

" What we enjoyed at Roots was the atmosphere! The outdoor seating was lovely, and with the ambience created by music and lights, it was a great dining experience. I opted for the chicken fried steak and my partner had a burrito. The food itself was good, but not as memorable as the vibe. Still, I think it’s worth another visit to explore the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’d probably give Roots another chance but my first dinner there left a lot to be desired. The service was very slow, and there was a confusing mix-up with my order. I had wanted the spicy wings but they brought me something different altogether. However, the owner was apologetic and attentive which was a nice touch, the food itself had hints of flavor but was less than memorable. I wouldn’t rush back, but I might give them another shot on a quieter day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how much I enjoyed my meal at Roots last weekend! The atmosphere was relaxed, perfect for a casual lunch. I ordered the Veggie Burger, which was creative and deliciously messy, just the way I like it! The staff was very welcoming, and my food arrived piping hot. What particularly impressed me was the use of fresh local ingredients - you can definitely taste the quality! I’m definitely coming back - next time for the brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" Roots delivered a pleasant surprise! The diverse menu caught my attention, and once I ordered, I quickly found myself loving the ancho chili shrimp. The flavors were bright and delicious. The only downside was that I had to wait a bit longer than expected, but once the food arrived, it was fun. Overall, this is definitely one of those places I would like back to often, especially if I can get my friends to join! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family dined here recently for a birthday celebration, and I can't express how pleased we were. The special margaritas were the perfect start to the night, and every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and unique twists. The wait staff was very accommodating and helped us with suggestions. I’m thankful we discovered this place and can’t wait to come back for our next family gathering! " (*Curated Review*)
