This is honestly my favorite place. I love their pupusas, always fresh and delicious, compared to other places, they hands down have the best!!! I always order to go and haven’t dined in but the service of picking up or calling in my orders are always pleasant and everyone’s that’s serviced me have been kind and professional. In my opinion best pupusas in SF, every single one. And I love their frijoles 10/10!

Poor customer service
I was waiting for a friend and decided to go in and get a drink. I ordered a cappuccino for $6 which was kind of pricey. When my order was ready I picked up my drink and it was very, very hot. In fact it was too hot to even hold! I had to wait almost 30 minutes before it cooled off enough to drink! I didn't get a warning when it was served to me which would have been the right thing for the staff to do. That said I probably will not go there again if they don't care for their customers enough to warn them about the drink being super hot and being aware to wait a bit before consuming it.
This place might as well be a ghost kitchen. Came in for two pupusas and waited half an hour while they prepared what seemed like 50 doordash meals. The only customers in the restaurant were me and one family. Never again

So everything was good. The presentation looked good, I ordered 2 pupusas, and yeah, so I sat down to eat the papusa, and I think I finished one of them and then um, upon further inspection, I thought that there was a piece of hair in the pupusa, and then I turned the piece of pupusa to a different angle and it ended up being a cocka roach in the food. So I'll include photos in the review as proof. To be honest with you, I was enjoying the pupusa it was pretty tasty until I saw the cockroach.

Balompié is a not so hidden gem in the mission. It has apparently been in the same spot of almost 30 years and somehow this is my first time visiting them. I went here because I wanted pupusas and I was not disappointed. Their pupusas were very tasty and a lot less greasy than some of the pupusas I've had at other places... And the server, Evaline(not sure if that's how you spell it) was very friendly. I will definitely recommend this place and I will return
My dad went to the restaurant waited for around 10 minutes and a family walked in and they immediately got service. It was a disappointing experience as the food is great. I was looking forward to brining my family there as the food is great. My dad felt discrimination based on the race. Management needs to train their servers better regarding discrimination.
