No doubt in my mind Ill be coming back here. Our waiter was down to earth, funny and sold us when he said his grandmother and dad were there cooking the food. Be sure to come give this place a shot!
Best beef soup in the area... Red snapper pupusas.... A neighborhood gem! ...
Fantastic food and fantastic people. The Shrimp Francesas is the best though it has a new name. And when mamas Tres Leches is on the menu, it just doesnt get any better.
Ive been coming to La Union Restaurant for about five years, and their food is always fresh and delicious! You can never go wrong with their pupusas, pollo con crema, or boca roja fritathey are all packed with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The quality and consistency keep me coming back. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our meal and the service was good. I had grilled whole red snapper, it was perfectly grilled. Crispy skin with tender meat and the seasonings was on point. We are definitely returning soon. Joe thanks for checking on us.
I visited La Union Restaurant on Mothers day. I had a great time with my mother and sisters total of 6. The place is small but cozy. Decorations are cute. Bathrooms are clean. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Food was delicious ...
Very awesome hole in the wall. Waiter told us about an off menu margarita. Was the perfect touch for Cinco De Mayo. Even better it came in a glass with a catus stem see image. Highly recommend the chicken enchiladas, and cheese papusa. Incredibly filling, well priced and great service.
Great steak for lunch! The people there are very kind and you can tell they love making wonderful food.
