    It was very tasty

    Very good food nice ambiance good service that always can be improved but this is a place to go back

    This was a challenging place to find today since it's difficult to go south on 72nd and head west on 275 from this direction. I would suggest going to 84th and turning onto L Street for easier access to this restaurant. It's a small parking lot and I'm glad there weren't too many cars there when we arrived. Tables have numbers on them and the person who greets you will tell you which number table to sit at. The menu is comprehensive and a mixture of Latin American cuisine. The soups are preferred by looking at the regular customers. I ordered the carne asada. The steak is small in comparison with other restaurants and not well marinated as I would like. The different types of hot sauces make up for the lack of strong lime or lemon acidity. The plate comes with lettuce, block of white cheese, beans, and a yogurt sauce. Tortillas are homemade and thicker and is more for dipping than wrapping items. Service was average and the owner did come by and ask us if we enjoyed the food. The seafood soup was excellent and the flavor was very good. I probably would order a different entree if given another opportunity to visit this restaurant.

    So long story short.....I saw a Facebook video about pupusas and I had to try them! Thank you Yelp! This place is AMAZING, the Salvadoran tamales were so moist and delicious and I now prefer them to Mexican tamales. I ordered chicken, and it was filled with chicken and I think potato? Not sure, lol, but it was amazing.The pupusas come in several different varieties, cheese, bean and cheese,shrimp and cheese, pork and cheese, and mixed. My 8 year old loved the cheese variety, and she's not one to try new things either. This place is a super cute, family owned place. Service was on point! I could hear the cook in the kitchen patting the pupusas by hand. I just love supporting small family owned places, we will be back on a regular basis.

    Meh- the food was ok. Very greasy. Not a lot of seasoning. My lunch was $20 I would not return

    Shrimp Platter

    Latino Legacy is a nice family owned spot off the beaten path. It sits back in the corner of some office rows. Walking in we were greeted by a very friendly smiling business owner, and some bright decor. The menu is heavy on el salvador influence and a lot of it was new to me. I chose the shrimp platter and my lunch buddy got the chicken and onions. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned and cooked just tender as could be. quality tasting and some of the best shrimp i have had.. I was very impressed. there was also a little salad and some plain white rice. My friend raved about his chicken and said it was one of the best. I really loved this place but it was a bit pricey after tip it was over $30.00 and a bit too costly for the food we received. However I do love the local family owned business and am looking forward to returning but will plan on it being a $$$ meal.

    Pupusas
    Shreya R.

    Just go here, okay!!! We went on a chilly weekend evening, and filled our tummies and our hearts with their amazing food! I had a really sore throat, so I needed a hot drink and tried Atole!!! Oh my god, why had I not tasted this ever before? So so good! I'm a fan already. To put it simply, Atole is a Latin-American version of hot chocolate (but way more yummy)!!! What we tried- Nachos, Atole, Pupusas (there were on-point perfect), Mofongo with garlic shrimps. The nachos were a very different texture than what I am used to in other restaurants, and came with a bean based sauce. Tasted lovely! I was trying Mofongo for the first time, so I didn't know what to expect , but I found it a little dry. But the Garlic Shrimps, they completely hit the nail on the head with that one, they were so good!!!! Just too good! Service-Very nice service. Our server was very friendly. Price- It's priced slightly higher that other Latin American restaurants I've eaten at in Omaha.

    I arranged my Bandeja Paisa on a plate. At the top of the picture is a chunk of sweet bread sprinkled w/ sesame seeds.

    I have purchased food here three times so far. They have a good variety of menu items and I have plans to try everything. I've ordered Bandeja Paisa twice because I like it so much! The prices range from high to really low, so I think it really depends on what you order. I have always ordered over the phone and then went into the restaurant to pick up my food. The staff are so very nice! They've always been patient with my questions. They sell bakery items, like sweet bread in a glass case by the cash register. The meat with the Bandeja Paisa is a bit tough and crunchy/crispy, but very tasty! The plantains are full of sweet flavor and this was the first that I've eaten Cassava. The arepas are amazing, corny good! I've also tried each kind of their Pupusas. Very good and not expensive at all. They do allow indoor dining as well and the staff do wear masks. I recommend this place for a unique dining experience!

    Lomo Saltado
    Miguel S.

    Located where a Peruvian restaurant used to be, Latino Legacy aims at honoring its own name by presenting an assortment of central american and south american entrees. Namely, as a true legacy to the prior tenant, they still have two staple Peruvian dishes: Lomo Saltado and Bistec a lo Pobre. The owner is Salvadorian and so he has pupusas in his menu as well as Salvadorian sodas. (BY THE WAY: Wednesdays are Pupusas days and he sells them for 1 dollar... which is awesome). I ordered the Lomo Saltado and boy it was good. The seasoning and portion was on point, obviously with their own twist as non-peruvians. My only complaint would be that the quality of the meat was not great, but the sauce and cooking time was great. I also took home some pork pupusas which were very savory. Overall, a good place, though a bit pricey in their entrees. I will come back again as the owner makes you feel welcome and he is very kind (and as an addon, he is keeping himself safe by staying 6 feet away, wearing a mask and putting the tables far from each other. He also encourages takeout)

    Mofongo con camarones al ajil y ensalada
    Jose F.

    OMG for a spanish truck driver is hard to find some good non-mexican food and this place delivers 100% but unfortunately I was on a rental car to get my truck so I did stop here and I don't regret it. It was for take out but it was delicious, food was better than what I imagine, very clean restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff. I order Mofongo con camarones al ajil and carnitas con tostones for later. The shrimp were large and delicious, mofongo was out of this world, the carnitas didn't last and were not dry, not fatty, just perfect in every bite and the tostones wow. I 110% recommend this place to get some delicious Spanish food, I will be back even if I have to walk or have it deliver to my location.

    Mofongo con Camarones (mashed plantains w/ shrimp)
    Antonio T.

    This is definitely a great place to try authentic Puerto Rican food, as well as a variety of other Latin American foods ranging from Salvadorian to Peruvian, Colombian, etc... Service was friendly and swift. I ate Mofongo con Camarones (mashed plantains w/ shrimp) which was very good. There's a lot of flavor in the shrimp, which came with two delicious sauces to dip the shrimp in. The Mofongo tastes great, its definitely authentic Puerto Rican. Also had an Arepa which has a very strong & delicious corn taste that's amplified by the butter from the dip included with the Arepa. Also tried the Colombian platter (Bandeja Paisa) which is Colombia's national dish, as well as some pupusas with beans, cheese & pork on the inside. Colombian platter was definitely good, although the meat on the fried pork belly is a bit fatty and the grilled steak is really tough but it's definitely a filling meal & has great taste. Highly recommended place overall. Great food and great service.

    These beans were amazing with these freshly made chips!

    This is a hidden spot that I visited with my boyfriend who is half Salvadoran and half mexican... he has grown up eating latino food all his life and he approved! We got pork and shrimp pupusas and they were cheesy and delicious! We also got the tamales, tacos and fajitas and I loooved it all! Also, very reasonable prices! I will be back next time I'm in Omaha!!

    I'm already looking forward to the next time we can come down here!…read more This place was so good! We stopped during the CWS and World Cup to get some food and step out of the sun. We had driven past here a few times and it's on our list, so if you haven't been make sure you do! The food was served hot and fresh, nice and quick as well! The Pina colada was fantastic and all I want to do is sit and have another drink out in the sun! Our server was fantastic as well. They helped us figure out what we would want to try and everything was soooooo good!

We came after a CWS game and they had specials available along with their regular menu. Our server was the kindest person and I loved talking with her! Since it wasn't too busy, the food was out quick and we had a choice of seating while watching the soccer game. We opted for piña coladas to drink, mine NA due to the drinks from the rest of the day (CWS hello), but Sam got his with rum and both were great! I loved all the coconutty flavor in it. We ordered the tripleta empanadillas, which were a special for CWS, normally they just have the tripleta sandwich. It was cheesy, crispy, and meaty. We got the Puerto Rican hot dogs, topped with beef, sautéed onions, sauerkraut, cheese, mayo ketchup, and crunchy potato sticks. So, so good and perfect for baseball season!! Sam got a PR tres leches cake for his birthday that day and I got fried cheese (queso frito) with guava sauce. We couldn't have liked anything more, it was all so good! They have fun events too, our server was telling us all about them, so check their socials for info!

Everything was decent, the Cuban sandwich was missing the roast pork, only had ham and for some reason both sandwiches came out room temp, cheese was still cold which was a little disappointing. I think I'll try this place again when they are up and fully running and have the menu figured out.
