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.

Last spring, I spent three weeks in the Dominican Republic and fell in love with the people and the food, particularly mofongo. When I returned to Omaha, I was on a quest to find a place that sold mofongo and this location is the only one that I am aware of currently. I've now been twice and I am most definitely a fan. As others have said, the place is relatively small and unassuming but the owners are very kind and attentive. Our most recent visit was because of a school assignment for my son, so we actually ordered a variety of things. First, we had three pupusas: shrimp, cheese, and bean. I've only had pupusas once before so I'm no expert but these three didn't last long at our table. In fact, we ordered two more "to go" before leaving. The chicken tamales were not really my favorite, the masa was a bit too mushy for me. I ordered the chicken mofongo, which was very good. It's not served quite the same as what I had in the DR but I did enjoy it. My wife ordered a chicken soup, which was filled with potatoes, carrots, and other veggies. It also had two large pieces of chicken and this was a tasty soup on a cold day. They have a good variety of dishes on the menu, so I do look forward to coming back to enjoy other things. The service was attentive and the food is great, though it takes a bit longer given that everything is made when ordered. I definitely plan to be back! Also, if you are interested, the article here tells you a bit more about the restaurant and it's owners: http://omahamagazine.com/articles/a-legacy-of-flavor-at-latino-legacy/. You should definitely check it out.

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)

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.

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.
