Our Roots

From Latin America to Cincinnati

From a Cuban/Brazilian & Puertorican friendship with a shared passion for food, science, and business MashRoots was born.  Having moved to Cincinnati 15 years ago we often dreamt of bringing a bit of our culture to the Mid West and sharing the diversity of Latin America. In early 2017 during a snowboarding trip to Canada and after making lunch a delicious mix of leftover “mofongo” and leftover “borscht” soup we decided to put our dream into action.

Building from the family recipes we grew up loving we partnered with Findlay Kitchen to build our concept into a start-up pop-up restaurant. In a matter of 5 months, we went from concept to our first pop-up event in May of 2017 and we haven’t looked back since. 

Now we invite you to come to experience the magic that is Mofongo.
