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.

The restaurant is family-owned and recently opened. They're open everyday except Saturdays from 10:30am to 5pm according to the sign on the door. We had the pupusas, chicken tamale, steak (carne asada) with rice and beans, fajitas de pollo (chicken fajitas), fried yuca, and sweet plantains. Prices were very fair too! I will definitely be visiting this spot again... probably much sooner than later.

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!

For just $29 we got: * Two birria pupusas (must try) * One Salvadoran tamale (weekends only) * Two al pastor tacos * One tamarindo agua fresca How they price it so low, we'll never know. But wow. The man at the window is incredibly kind, speaks English, and makes sure you get exactly what you want. They serve three salsas at the table, have plenty of pupusa choices, and several tacos. Cannot recommend the birria pupusa enough. Cash, check, or Zelle only (no credit cards). Closed Tuesdays. Open until 8 PM. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

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)
