Legacy Pecans

Directly facing Mesilla Plaza, I was interested enough passing by to stop in. There was one person working the counter at the store. She didn't greet us, which could be reasonable, but we were literally the only people there, and we were obviously tourists. I had a lot of questions about the products, but the worker was not friendly and I didn't want to interrupt her phone scrolling. There was an empty sample tray and it would have been nice to sample products since I was hoping to buy some food souvenirs to take home for friends and family, but I passed on it since I wasn't sure if they would be good. I got the jalapeno pecan brittle, green chile pecans, and the red chile pecans. The red chile pecans were smokey like a paprika and the heat builds gradually, and there's more dusting of the powder compared to the green chile. The green chile tastes like green chile. They're both fairly mild. The jalapeno pecan brittle is hot and sweet, with the flavors complementing each other. I wouldn't get it again but it was good to try it. The pecans were good quality, with whole halves in the pecan bags, but they didn't have that fresh crunchy texture of super-fresh pecans.I would go to a friendlier shop to buy your pecan products if you're not from the area.

This was one of my favorite little shops in the heart of Mesilla. I had no idea that this was a county that is a huge pecan producer, but apparently it's true. The shop was really fun and bright, neatly organized and chock full of everything pecan, from brittle (soft and crunchy at the same time - very delicious and very unique), chocolate-covered varieties, shelled varieties, pecan coffee, etc. We picked up a couple of items for ourselves and some to take home as gifts. The ladies in the shop were super friendly, encouraging us to take lots of samples and wander around freely. I was also really fascinated by the video they had playing in the store that showed the process of harvesting pecans - there's a special machine that shakes the tree and all the pecans fall down to the ground. How cool! So not only a tasty stop but educational too. Highly recommend.

Legacy Pecans is the go to place for Pecan lovers like myself! Such a cute store with a wonderful selection of gift items! I especially love their Pecan Brittle. Located in the heart of Mesilla, it's a must stop for locals and visitors!

Wonderful selection of products and friendly staff. They have a couch/tv setup with a video playing showing the pecan harvest process. It was very interesting and educational.

Just got asked to leave with my service dog. I asked the attendant if she was aware of the New Mexico Service Animal Act. She said she was and continued to stare at me blankly. Wow to make someone feel welcome.
