Ohhh, SO good.
We got a variety of many things... Papusas, tamales, chili reano, and more!
Quality and authenticity was exceptional. Only thing we had a mix up with was the empanada. They were made out of plantains which we didn't understand, so we asked to make sure we got the correct item and they had trouble understanding our English but swore it was the right item. Still delicious!
Had the papusas. Excellent service and delicious food. This was the first time in awhile a restaurant filled a drink up without much ice. Great value for the money.
I lived in the neighborhood for decades and they have always been consistent and affordable. Happy to satisfy my craving for real pupusas here!
Went here for Father's Day and although the food was good the service wasn't. The reason being is that the waitress didn't offer drinks or chips while waiting in the patio area of the restaurant. The place wasnt packed so we kinda expected to have a faster service.
Balompie was recommended by a sweet el salvadorean lady at the ferry building farmer's market, and i'm so needy for pupusas that I found myself bus over the next day to try them out. I tried the espinaca pupusa and the frijoles one. The first one hit the spot, hot, delicious and cheesy, but I was let down by the beans one which felt like it wasn't freshly made. I also felt the salsa was sweet and didn't pack much spice. I'm a regular at Panchita's a few blocks down so the standards are very high. I'll be back here again though, can't go wrong with pupusas.
Delicious food, clear flavors, perfect textures. Balompie will spoil you for all other pupusas. Also super nice folks there.
On a whim my wife and I went here. I had been here years before and liked it. We came at a mellow time, around 2pm Saturday. No wait. The interior was nice, looked like there had been some remodeling done. The service was great. We ordered a beer to share and out came a 32 oz. bottle of Regia. Good, mellow, light beer, perfect with pupusas. We both got the platos típicos , casamiento and two pupusas. I ate the chicharrón y queso and loroco con queso. Both were really good with some curtido and salsa thrown on. Nice touch to have the bill brought out in a kid’s soccer shoe. Will be back.
Delicious, down to earth and affordable. The pupusas did not disappoint 👏
Always delicious! I especially love the loroco y queso, and the horchata
Delicious papusas and grilled garlic shrimp. Service was especially friendly. Would definitely go again.
