However the salsa they brought to the table was delicious, not spicy, and I loved that they brought a big amount of it in a syrup dispenser. My daughter ordered a combo and I ordered the Veggie P which was essentially an ACP with veggies instead of chicken, so not sure why it wasn't called the ACV. Food came out promptly and was hot. Service as far as drinks, bringing checks, etc. was a tad slow. Prices were on par with other places. I was super hungry so forgot to take a pic of my plate!

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.
