What our customers are saying

Check out our most recent reviews!

La Union Restaurant is one of those restaurants that you must try when in Northern Virginia. As soon as I walked in I knew that I was in for a treat.

John D.

Chips 10/10, salsa 10/10. The chips were so thin and crispy, and the salsa was so flavorful. I shared the beef crispy tacos with my husband. Absolutely amazing!

Jane D.

Love to support fellow Hispanic restaurants and this was definitely a good one to try out! It is more of a family friendly cozy atmosphere and the menu composes of classic Salvadoran dishes!
