    Absolutely phenomenal ambiance and selection, with some of the best Latin food I have had in my world travels. The staff is friendly, making you feel right at home. Even the color scheme brightens up your day. Gracias Eduardo! I will surely be back :)

    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

    First time here and I'll definitely be back! The food has such great flavor and authentic. Our server was helpful and attentive can't wait to come back and try other dishes!

    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

    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.

    These beans were amazing with these freshly made chips!
    Kimberly A.

    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!!

    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.

I was informed that it's street food and to eat it with my hands... I tried friends. I really did. One bite and it not only was all over my hands and face, half the contents were back on my plate. (I suggest tackling the fillings with a fork first to make the sandwich more manageable.) Food was messily delicious and that dark green sauce made it even better. Huge portions...

The interior is fun and bright, with Venezuelan flags hung everywhere, nice wooden chairs and tables, and cute signs on the walls about their beer options and desserts. We spoke with the owner a lot, and he was so friendly and cheerful. He definitely wanted to be sure we all loved our food (which we did!) I started with the Papas Rellenas to share with the table, and they were HEAVENLY. Perfectly seasoned beef and mashed potatoes all fried up in a giant ball. Really good with any of their amazing sauces. And definitely ask for a bottle of each of the sauces, because they are all fantastic in their own ways! I tried an Arepa as well as a bit of a starter, and it was also very tasty! I had tried many arepas in Colombia, and this took me right back there. I had the Catira Arepa, and it was so delicately fried up and then filled with scrumptious chicken, shredded cheese, and some of the amazing house sauce (that's one of the amazing sauces mentioned previously). For my entree, I had the Pastichio, which is a Venezuela "lasagna" dish, with tomato, smoked ham, béchamel sauce, and lots of cheese all melted on top. It was extremely decadent in its richness, and the portion size was huge, so you may have some to take home as leftovers and enjoy later! My husband had the Pepito, which was a giant sandwich full of sliced sausage, carne asade (or another protein of your choice), cabbage, potato chips, and tons of their delicious sauces on top. I got to try it, and it was SO flavorful and satisfying! Another giant portion that will leave you with leftovers, too. We ended the meal with two desserts - the flan and the churros: -The flan was great and super sweet, especially with the added chocolate sauce on top - yum. -The churros were my favorite of the two, as they were soft, warm (obviously freshly made) and also came with a few dips to dunk them in like chocolate and caramel. I'm still dreaming about those churros. With a great owner/staff, fun atmosphere, and out of this world amazing food, I definitely recommend you check out El Arepon for yourself!

My wife and I went here recently for a date night, and we really enjoyed everything. The menu is tapas, so we ordered a bunch of different food and shared, with the exception of one dish I would order everything else again in a heartbeat. We started out with a few drinks, which were very tasty, then ordered the house guacamole with plantain chips, the carnitas bravas, grilled chicken skewers, chicken and beef empanadas, shrimp cocktail, and Peruvian ceviche. All were excellent with the exception of the ceviche, there was nothing wrong with it, just compared to everything else it was fairly bland. The plantain chips and guacamole were so good together, way better than tortilla chips. If I had to pick a favorite I'd say the carnitas bravas, perfectly seasoned and just the right amount of crispy. Service was fine, the waiter took care of our needs and let us enjoy each other's company, I appreciate that. I'd say 4.5 stars overall, but closer to 5, very impressed.
