Really great little cafe tucked away in the mission. Food is amazing and reasonably priced, service is great and the space is bright and open. We caught a World Cup match here and really appreciated the quick food service and cheap drinks.
Craving authentic Salvadoran flavors? 😋 This hidden gem is a must-visit! Experience the vibrant food and drinks that delight every palate. The friendly staff, including the owner, go above and beyond to make you feel right at home. Don’t miss out—see for yourself! 🍴
We love Balompie!! Delicious food, kind service---we now buy a huge tub of casamiento with every order so we can all eat it for days afterwards. Papusas are SO DELICIOUS!!!

Balompié Cafe #1 is a charming, soccer-themed El Salvadoran spot that has been in the same location for almost 30 years. The cafe serves delicious pupusas, bistec, and chorizo, with tender and juicy meat. The pupusas are very tasty and less greasy than those at other places, making them a favorite. Gluten-free options are available. The service is prompt and friendly, with a decent selection of beers on tap. The wine selection is limited, but the food is excellent. The cafe is known for its handmade dishes and warm hospitality, making it a great spot to visit. Some customers have noted issues with service, especially with orders not being brought as instructed, but overall, the food and atmosphere remain highly recommended.
