Balompié - Reviews

My experience with DoorDash from this store was extremely negative. I ordered pupusas but received something resembling chicken and cucumbers instead. This has never happened to me before with any other store. The delivery person was unresponsive to my calls. While I know the food is good when I've visited in person, I'm unsure if there was an issue with the receipt or if the delivery guy is entirely responsible for this mix-up. I will not be ordering from this store via DoorDash again.

My experience at the restaurant was very good. The food was excellent, and the service was very excellent. They strive to satisfy the needs of all customers. 🥰

My experience at the restaurant was initially positive. The presentation of the food looked good. I ordered two pupusas and began eating one. I was enjoying it, finding it pretty tasty, until I noticed what I initially thought was a piece of hair. Upon closer inspection and turning the pupusa, I discovered it was a cockroach in my food. I will include photos as proof. This discovery completely ruined the experience, despite enjoying the taste of the pupusa beforehand.

My experience at the restaurant was super delicious! The pupusas and desayunos were so good. My kids, and I too, really loved the curtido. The pupusas revueltas were my favorite. And yes, they had pilsener y Suprema cerveza!

My experience at the restaurant was quite disappointing. The food was just okay, nothing special. However, the service was absolutely terrible, very bad. We went with my family and even though the restaurant wasn't full, our food was served incomplete and the organization was very poor. I definitely would never return.

I've been a long-time customer, but now the pupusas are too small for the same price. They've increased the price, but the quality is no longer the same.

My experience at the restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, primarily due to the incredible papusas. They tasted absolutely delish, and I'm already planning my return for another dish, specifically to get more papusas. I envision a stack so high because these papusas are so good, they genuinely made me cry! The food quality, especially the papusas, was exceptional.

I ordered a soup from this place and received it with raw vegetables, and the soup itself was not tasty. There are other places with better soup. The service also leaves much to be desired, including from the owner.

I went for breakfast and the food was not tasty at all. The place was dirty, and the staff working there were like animals; they didn't greet us. They automatically included a tip, and I don't know why, as they just put the food on the table. Everything was very expensive. They should learn to make pupusas if they are going to charge so much for them.

Balompié is a not-so-hidden gem in the Mission. It has apparently been in the same spot for 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.
