While many things are labeled GF on the menu, most everything uses the same shared fryer. I told my waitress that I had Celiac, and she said there were only two things I could eat. I had the Streak Salad, which was very good.

Review
I was really excited to have an arepa and the tostones (both clearly labeled GF on the menu) when I mentioned that I have celiac, they told me the fryer was shared! 😞 He said they did have some GF items that weren’t fried, but it wasn’t what I wanted so we left. I think you would be able to find something, but make sure to ask questions depending on your needs and don’t just trust the menu.

Roots has a good selection of GF dishes from various South American countries, most of which are clearly marked on the menu. I asked about the passionfruit mousse for dessert and was told it was GF, just not indicated on the menu. The main dishes were delicious, and the dessert was phenomenal.

Such a gem in Springfield! Plenty of gluten free options, including tostones, arepas, tacos, and select entrees. We had flan for dessert, which was delicious. We’ll be back!
