Came for breakfast. Lots of good coffee and teas. Even mimosas. The wife had the egg florentin with a side of bacon. I had the 2 eggs over medium with bacon, great potatoes and good bakery toast. You order at the counter and they bring food out. Several people were eating on the covered patio. Great start before heading to Cordova Pass. read more

Every single thing. Nothing here is bad. Some of the best tastiest prepared from scratch food ever. I don't think I can even explain how much I love this place. The owners are amazing, order anything. The Sunday Brunch is completely off the chart. read more

Rude! We asked for the menu and the man behind the counter was honestly bothered by the request. Three people walk into your place of business and are made to feel as if they were an inconvenience was the exact reason why we turned around and walked out. read more

Friday night we arrived to a warm welcome and comfortably attentive service. The chicken gnocchi soup of the day with garlic bread hit the spot perfectly, delicious well balanced flavor and mix of textures while seasoned nicely. The cochinita pibil pork was as delightful to the taste buds as to the eyes with contrasting complementary colors, textures and flavors. We will be back!! Highly recommended. read more

Food was amazing and they're service is friendly and fast. Found a new favorite to hit up for breakfast

Our first time to enjoy brunch at Legends on Main, and it did NOT disappoint! I confess to be a picky eater and was not surprised that Legends brunch was delicious. Every meal I have had here has been stellar. La Veta is very fortunate to have a great restaurant that is open year round. read more

Very good food and service. Best coffee plus you can buy it from them. Would highly recommend this restaurant!!

Legends always has consistently good food! Their Mexican food can be on the spicy side but if I can handle it others can too! I also like the variety of menu options. read more

My family and I brought our guests to dinner at the legends and the owner humiliated me and my service dog. He ignorantly vocalized to other diners and his staff his displeasure for my service dog saying he wished he could buy a fake vest for his dog and pass it off as a service dog. My service dog comes from Freedom Service Dogs of America, an organization that purpose breeds and custom trains dogs that empower individuals with disabilities to live lives filled with possibility. To anyone with a disability requiring you to live with a service dog, know that this business does not welcome you and will humiliate you in front of others. read more

The red sauce here is spot on!! Service is great! The only reason I removed 1 star is because the taco salad really had no "salad" it was chips topped with chili and a few leafs of lettuce... not what was expected but still delicious!! We would return if in the area again! read more

Walking down the street in La Veta on a Sunday and hearing live music which drew us in. Shrimp Louie salad was excellent. Just a little confused over that you had to order at counter after we had to wait for a table. Apple pie and Strawberry Rubarb pies were excellent read more

What a hidden gem of a restaurant we found in a hidden little gem of a town, at Legends on Main in La Veta Colorado. La Veta Colorado has a little over 800 people living there, and have some of the nicest, friendliest, people that we have ever met... M D W, and I ate at L o M, a little dining oasis where you can eat in their lovely garden terrace under umbrellas, or in there nicely appointed restaurant inside. The menu is not huge but it, and their blackboard daily specials insures that you will be sure to find something to make your culinary repast memorable... Looking at the rest of the filled tables at Legends on Main, the smiles on our fellow diners faces, you know why this place is popular, a winning combination of good food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. I ordered a taco salad, that was delicious with a great combination of ingredients, the love of my life ordered a bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwich, she said it was a great combination, and the bread was exceptionally good. We found this town while looking for our first ghost town to explore, and just by luck this time a failed GPS, turned into our lucky day... read more

My wife and I were traveling through on our way to our air bnb. The staff are very friendly and the decor is welcoming. We ordered the guacamole and salsa, the chips were warm and salted just right, the salsa and guacamole were delicious and seasoned wonderfully. I ordered the legend burger, it was cooked to perfection, my wife got the taco salad and it was delicious. If you are ever around La Veda I would highly recommend this hidden treasure. read more

Over-priced food, biscuits dry (biscuits and gravy) English muffins with eggs Benedict were dry and so hard I couldn't eat them. The waiter was rude as my husband asking for clarification on the order - the host had misunderstood the change he had made. When the waiter came to ask us how we liked everything, I was in the middle of giving feedback and he said "good!" and walked away! Honestly we wouldn't have made this review if it weren't for the way we were treated (in combination with the price and poor quality food we received. ) read more

We were camping near by, and decided to drive into La Vera for breakfast. Glad we did, found this place, wow! Food was great. We'll be back.

Amazing food and immaculate vibes! We sat on the patio and loved the view! The legends burger and cream of cauliflower soup was too good!

Food was great. Service was above average. Everyone smiled. Prices are what they are. We really like the place and will always go back!! Good luck to a great small business in a great small town!! read more

Cute patio with awesome food. It wasn't busy for a midweek lunch. A little tricky to find - it is tucked behind the brewery. You enter through the gate. read more

I am a bit confused why so many people wait to eat here and why they refuse to take reservations unless it is a party of 5 or more. Best way to manage the traffic flow through your restaurant is reservations. The menu is quite basic and limit which is ok for a small town. And they do have daily specials. But if your daily special includes a soup of the day, don't you think it would be smart to state if the soup is served COLD?! Not good. So what do I have positive to say? The waitress was very attentive and sweet. The nachos were fairly decent. And the restaurant is a cute little location. read more

Legends on Main is delicious and has a nice atmosphere. Gabriella is an amazing chef and the food and service is consistently exemplary. The New Mexican cuisine is so tasty. read more

We found this lovely surprise while driving on the scenic Highway of Legends. Everyone who worked there was friendly and provided exceptional service. I had the tarragon chicken in an avocado with champagne vinaigrette. The flavor and different textures were wonderful! My husband had the blt. The bacon was exceptional, and he enjoyed his entire meal. The restaurant filled up as we were eating, and we were thankful we arrived when we did. Everyone seemed to be enjoyed his or her food, and the staff was attentive to each customer. We would definitely go back! read more

Every other review of Legends on Main is spot on!! Food was DELICIOUS!! It is small and quaint. We shared several of the daily specials and left room for the bourbon apple pie! Great beer and wine list. Super friendly staff. 10/10 recommend!! Included a picture of recent menu since other Yelp pictures were older. read more

This had a great patio space for Sunday brunch. We had about a 20 minute wait with no reservations in the early afternoon. My friend got the tamales which were recommended, but I tried a bite and thought they were too spicy for me. I got the biscuits and gravy which was good. It was a relatively limited menu with only breakfast items, but enough variety. We also had mimosas. They was a bit of an issue when a group of people joined another table which made it too many per COVID guidelines. The manager (?) tried to address it, but the customers didn't listen and said they had the owners permission. read more

I brought friends here from out of town. There were four of us. A couple, their daughter, and myself. It was their 28 year wedding anniversary. Cody was our waiter, he was absolutely awesome. We started with delicious mimosas, made by Cody. We shared the guacamole. We all had different items off the menu, and an order of the split pea soup. I have lived in this area for five years, I wish I would've known about this restaurant before now. The food was fresh, delicious, chef prepared. We all LOVED our food! I will definitely come back, refer my friends, business, associates, and family. You will not go wrong with this restaurant! read more

Love the food, ambiance and lovely atmosphere!!! Wonderful outdoor dining and charming indoor dining.

Just another small town restaurant, trying to be trendy and charging high prices for average food. Not even good service could make up for those shortcomings. Don't bother stopping here. read more

My partner and I eat hear about twice a month. We have tried nearly all the menu items and have nothing but good to say. The New Mexican options are very authentic, the servings are ample, and the staff are friendly and gregarious. The ambiance is western saloon come New Mexican hacienda. read more

Absolutely never disappointed--great food and love the outdoor seating when the weather permits!

You'll want a reservation, but once you're in the staff is attentive, friendly, and informative. Our waitress recommended the breaded cat fish special which was first rate. The downside was that meant we didn't get one of the stellar looking mexican entrees. Next time. The tuna poke appetizer was a wonderful surprise, and damn, the bourbon apple pie. We're definitely getting the pie again! This tiny town is blessed to have such a great establishment. read more

WOW! Had dinner here last night- the special (Green chili chicken lasagne) was so good that I returned for lunch today. Even the simple items on the menu are fantastic! The club sandwich had locally sourced bacon and generous avocado, perfectly ripe tomatoes, and the presentation was beautifull. Topped off my lunch today wiith an on-tap IPA in a frosty glass - then they talked me into delicious home made apple pie Ala mode which did not disappoint. Now to walk it all off... ;-) Legends has it all! read more

My husband and I had the Legend Burger. Outstanding. I requested not to have a hamburger bun but sour dough bread if possible. They said we can do this. Asked for mayo and Ketchup for my burger and again no problem. The potatoes that came with the burger were wonderful. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Will be going back to try some of the other items from the menu. Very cute inside and outside seating. read more

Honestly, I waited 45+ mins for a sub par burrito on a Thursday night. Way too spicy and I've had much better elsewhere. I guess with all the 5-star maybe it was just a miss but seriously a $20 burrito should not take 45 mins or be cold when you get it. Plus it came with a sad piece of garlic bread and some lettuce???? Disappointed. read more

We came here for brunch and it a supper delicious and most definitely worth your time and even with a bit of a limited menu there was something for everyone. The patio was absolutely amazing and had a ton of shade along with grate Service. If you go make sure to get yourself a baked treat because they are SUPER yummy. I would give more than 5 stars if I could it was a supper grate experience read more

This place was amazing. The food was fantastic and service incredible. What a gem in such a small remote town!

Amazing food, they really take pride in their dishes. The flavors I the green chilli stew was perfect. Found my new go to in Colorado

Crazy location but they make you feel at home! I have made 1000 BLT sandwiches and please eat theirs as the bread wins!

I'm from New Mexico. I was quite surprised at the Blue Corn enchiladas. Truly a taste of home, away from home. Service is great also!

So fantastic. Might recommend reservations on weekend if you want to insure seating. We didn't have reservations, but being the second group in helped...but many tables had RESERVED signs. Great variety on brunch menu. We had French toast, biscuit and gravy, and eggs Benedict. All was divine. So crazy to find such a fine dining experience in such a small town. read more

I just had dinner at Legends on Main. The food was good, it always is, and it's consistent. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and an overall very nice dining experience. Height of the dinner service and everything seemed to move very smoothly, an experienced wait and kitchen staff. A good place for lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch. read more

We overnighted in La Veta before a camping/hiking trip in the Sangres. At 5:30pm, after a massive thunderstorm that eliminated any possibility of outdoor dining, we tried our luck at getting a seat. Score! One of the best aspects of exploring small locales is discovering great dining venues with friendly folk and fine food. This is one of them that should be on your list. We started with terrific grilled shishito peppers, enhanced with a reduced sauce and just the right touch of course salt. Thoroughly enjoyed our main dishes - shepherd's pie and a substantial burger - and shared a silky flan that melted in our mouths. We had dinners in Santa Fe that were 3x the cost and not nearly as enjoyable. If you find yourself on 160, divert a few miles and check it out! read more
