Restaurante la Union – Authentic Salvadoran & Mexican Cuisine in Lincoln, NE

Date Night over the weekend and I finally got my husband to take me to Restaurante La Union! Their menu is a combo of Salvadoran and Mexican dishes. We were brought out crispy chips and salsa which were good. He got a Horchata to drink while trying to make his impossible decision on what to order. I knew what I wanted. I love Pupusas and got one filled with just cheese, and another with Loroco and cheese. Plus the Platos Tipico, a plate of Refried black beans, Queso Fresco, Avocado, Fried Plantains, Eggs, and Cream with tortillas. I don't even like tomatoes but those were some of the best eggs I've had. Their sour cream has a slightly sweet taste to it and was yummy. I've been missing Plantains, I don't think I've had any since Stur closed. Everything was Delicious! My husband finally decided on the Pastelitos with steak filling, kinda like empanadas. I told him he should get a Torta and he chose Asada for that, it was gigantic! Lastly, a meaty Pupusa filled with pork, beans, and cheese. He loved every bit of his order as well! We were there late and it wasn't busy. Service was very attentive and we were checked on often. Portions were generous. We felt like we ate forever and still took like half of it home. Fantastic dinner!

It's definitely a unique meal experience. Would recommend to check it out. You won't be disappointed!!!

A true work of art. This place has hands down the best burger in Lincoln. A homemade bun with freshly grilled meat, complimented by a plethora of vegetables and condiments to form a complete product in all of its meaty glory. The Mexican food is good too.

We have been here twice. The food is very flavorful. We especially appreciate the hand made tortillas. The papusas are very good! Enchiladas are exceptional too. A hidden gem!

The staff were friendly, service was good and our food was tasty. I ordered the steak tacos and my husband ordered the Salvadorian enchiladas. We will definitely eat there again.

First time at this restaurant, my friend and I stopped by for lunch and absolutely loved the food we ordered. I had a chicken/cheese pupusa and she had a spicy cheese pupusa, we split the fried plantains and dipping sauce (which next time I would get my own order ) We split rice & beans, I would order the rice again, only negative was the black beans were very salty. They bring a container of cabbage with an oil vinegar to each table and we split rice and beans I would order the rice again, only negative was the black beans were very salty. They bring a container of cabbage salad to each table to top your pupusas. Complimentary homemade, thick chips rocked and the salsa is very uniquely tasty. Very reasonable prices, and loved everything we had.

Really good corner immigrant restaurant, very friendly with authentic Salvadoran food.
