Really enjoyed my meal! Overall, I would give this place a 9.2/10!1. Taste: 9.4 I ordered the pupusas with cheese and Loroco. Both of the pupusas were evenly cooked. The soft comforting doughy masses went well with the salsa and curtido. The salsa could have been a little bit more flavorful (I mostly only tasted tomatoes) but overall, i can't ask more from the pupusas themselves!I got mine with rice and beans. The rice was nothing too special, but did the job. The beans, on the other hand, were super flavorful and added a creamy texture to the chewiness of the pupusas. 1. Customer service: 10/10The customer service was great! I was sat immediately and had a glass full of water before I even ordered. The preparation did take about 25 minutes, but I think it was well worth it considering how good they were. 1. Appearance: 9/10The restaurant is a cute little place. It's somewhere that feels local and welcoming. It's a great place for a casual lunch or get together. 1. Value: 8.5Everything was well priced. With just the two pupusas and side of rice and beans, I felt pretty full. I definitely think it's worth the money.

Balompie Cafe No. 3 is my favorite neighborhood pupusaria. The owner and all the staff are kind and very helpful. Even when the restaurant and outside seating is packed, the wait time is not that long and the food is always delicious!!

I had the pork and cheese, chorizo, and the pork and beans pupusas. Super good portions and it came with a tasty sauce. The filling felt like it had a good portion too. They were pretty crispy and didn't feel too oily. If you're not a cheese fan, maybe go for the non cheese option as they do pack it with cheese. Very solid 3 that filled me up. Pretty cheap too

I liked Balompie. The ambiance was a mix of local Salvadorian diner mixed with football bar vibes. I got the Salvadorian Sampler which includes a pupusa, pastel, chicharrons, and fried yuca. The meat and cheese pupusa with beans was fantastic. It was soft and generously stuffed with filling and paired really well with their red salsa. You could taste the sweet corn in the pupusa which was fantastic. The pastel was also great. It came out piping hot and was so crunchy and savory. I also loved the yuca which was perfectly soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. I was a little impartial on the chicharron because it was a little salty for my taste.

The two pupusas I ordered to go were piping hot and they give you a good sized baggie of a nice and tangy cabbage slaw and a container of salsa that complemented the pupusas perfectly. The price is very reasonable for the pupusas; each one being under $5. One was really filling, so the other one will be saved for another meal. Everything was delicious and well worth a stop. The only slight downside was that the woman who took my order wasn't very friendly. It was my first time there and I wasn't sure what to order; her impatience made me feel rushed.

The consistency of this place, over the last 10 years I been visiting, is great! I love the grilled shrimp plate the other grilled meat plates& of course the lorocco pupusas! Service can be slower pace but always friendly and love the football vibes in there. Prices have gotten so high bc I remember getting the pupusas for 2.00-2.50 back in 2013. I will continue to return here for good authentic Salvadoran food.

This place is busy busy busy! It's located in a congested area so parking can very difficult, however the area has great access to public transportation. The service works really hard to keep up with the fast pace environment, you can tell. I normally place my order for pickup and it's never been wrong. The wait time is normally around 20-25 minutes, nothing has ever exceeded 30 before. The pupusas are amazing, much like their other location on 18th. Highly recommend!

I love this place (mornings) so my mom and me were hungry and decided to go there tonight and the food was delicious as always, BUT, the service was terrible! The girl ( server) was very rude and mad, the servers at morning are way better than night servers !Siempre vamos con mis papás a este lugar, y decidimos ir por qué andábamos cerca con mi mamá, la comida como siempre súper rica pero el servio horrible Quisiera saber cómo se llamaba la mesera de hoy domingo 15 de septiembre en la noche fue súper grosera y pedante, nos tomó la orden de mala gana y gracias a Dios el mesero hombre nos llevó la comida por que si no quizás nos la tira por la cara! ( no volvemos a ir por la noche jamás !!!!!)
