Also, love the help yourself side of curtido (the spicy cabbage slaw). I usually just order a few of the chicharon and queso pupusas, and enjoy a tamarindo drink and watch a soccer game... but I plan to try the elote and maduros next time I'm in. Lots of parking out front, easy to find location.

I've been wanting good papusa's for a while. Finally made the 40 min drive and happy we did. I had…read more3 Papusa flavors. Chicharrone and Cheese. Bean and Cheese. Jalapeño and cheese.

We will definitely be back!

I discovered La Union Restaurant Pupuseria during a Yelp search for a lunch spot. This authentic…read moreSalvadoran restaraunt is such a gem that my family of four visited twice during our recent stay in Franklin while visiting Lake Nantahala. It's located in a shopping center with several other eateries such as a taco restaurant, ice cream shop and bakery. It is a small restaurant with about five to six tables inside. During both visits, we observed several locals dining in or picking up take out. There was a friendly young lady that seated us and took our order. They make the food fresh to order so it takes a little time but nothing unreasonable. The food is definitely worth the wait. We ordered the carne asada meal with plantains & black beans, bean pupusas, jalapeño pupusas, chicken tamale and child's baleada. The carne asada meal was enough for my son to eat and share some with my husband and younger son. I was even able to enjoy several plantains which were prepared perfectly. The pupusas were some of the best we have ever had. They were stuffed with a generous amount of filling and the pupusa dough was moist instead of dry like some places. The bean and cheese pupusa was our favorite but all flavors ordered were delicious. La Union Restaurant Pupuseria will be a regular dining spot for our family when in the area. If you enjoy authentic Salvadoran food then be sure to check out this gem.

Served with a cabbage/carrot "salsa" that really added wonderful flavor. Grilled chicken had wonderful seasoning and was moist. Small hole in the wall, but don't pass it up.

We accidentally found this place while on vacation. I had bean and cheese, pork and cheese and a chicken and cheese. The bean was a little burnt but the pork and chicken were flavorful and amazing. The slaw was favored with jalapeños and was more carrot than cabbage and had spicy amazing flavor. The sauce was pretty plain but the slaw made up for it. I was thankful for a local that interpreted for me because I could not have ordered without him. Don't be scared of gas station food! Be adventurous!

Absolutely amazing ! Do the pork and the spinach cheese - unbelievably good ... can't say it enoughread more

YES YES AND MORE YES!!!! Coming from the DMV I was somewhat pupusa spoiled and I can honestly say…read morethis place is one of the best I ever had!! Their salsas are what really sets them apart from the rest. The salsa verde, I want to bathe in. Well maybe not because it's pretty spicy and that may be painful. HOWEVER, it is so PACKED FULL of flavor and spice. I love it so much. If you like it as much as me get the enchiladas with salsa verde. Chicken enchiladas covered with THE SAUCE. Their pupusas are good size, good filling to masa ratio. I have been twice when they were out of chicharrone, though and that was very sad. Again what sets them apart is the salsa roja served with. The curtatido is standard, no complaints. But that salsa, packed full of flavor! Tacos al pastor also a fave. My son got the Texas fajitas and the shrimp was really good, didn't care for the beef. they have horchata! Staff is friendly and speaks enough English to be able to serve anyone. Always packed with latino people so you know its A1! Only complaint is I find their pupusa prices rather high. They are 2 for 7 and I am used to paying MAYBE 2.50 for one. With that being said...I'd still pay $10

The pupusas and agua Frescas of the day are also totally addicting. I try to order other items, but I can't seem to stop myself from getting these three as a base. Always friendly servers, as it is a family owned business, and you feel at home and welcomed in the laid back dining room. Be sure to stop here & then take yourself to the goodwill bins for some treasures! (Or vise versa depending on how hard you work to find said goodies at the bins)

Ordering two pupusas and a tamale yielded a lighter meal than I'd anticipated, with these being among the smaller such items I've ever had. The taste was solid, but I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping to be.

She had a very sweet and caring presence. I highly recommend going.
