Legacy has cute décor and a friendly atmosphere. The menu was large, with both regular and daily specials. They were known for their mac'n'chees, so I ordered a small bowl of that and a salad. Neither were small! It was a lot. My granddaughter ordered a burrito, which she enjoyed. There were many vegetarian items to choose from, and our gluten-free guest had no trouble finding food.

What a cute place! So many options for food and drinks. The staff was so pleasant and sweet. The atmosphere was really cool, too. Like they had collected all the older business signs in town and even an adobe building replica. Very cool spot. The food tasted so good. We got the BLT, a turkey and cheese panini, and a roast beef panini. The kid got a pizza, which was so huge! Great little spot.

Fantastic spot. We felt incredibly welcomed and well taken care of. Every bit of small town hospitality you would hope for and right on the plaza! Definitely stop and grab a cup of coffee or a burrito. Dine in or carry out.

The place wasn't absolutely adorable. The lady that made my coffee was great! Unfortunately, when I left, my two shaken expressos tasted weak and watered down. Maybe it needed more shots to make up for the melted ice. I would go back.

Must eat breakfast place in Taos plaza area. We just went but glad we did . They were happy to help with what they have. Food was Mexican and American both type . We had tamales. The presentation of this tamale and taste both were awesome . Vegetarian tamale were filled with squash and veggies making it juicy and delicious.

What a gem - gorgeous little cafe right on Taos plaza, with very reasonable prices. We got the mac'n'cheese, a green chili hot dog, and the frito pie - all yummy in nice big servings. Super friendly and kind staff. The decor is very historic & interesting, with one of the nicest restaurant bathrooms I've ever seen.

Have been anticipating the opening of Legacy Cafe and the wait has ended. The place is a sight to behold and really comfortable. Lots of details were taken care of so the overall experience was quite good. I was struck by the chairs having slides on the legs so they pull out easily and quietly. Deb ordered flatbread pizza- Italian sausage, spinach and onions - and a salad while I had a panini with pastrami, smoked Gouda and onion. Everything was quite tasty and well prepared. Great late lunch.
