Balompie Cafe #3

Decorated in soccer memorabilia, the Bernal Heights version of the popular Mission District pupuseria is brighter, neater, and more comfortable than the original. The cooks take a playful approach to the pupusa, stuffing the griddled corn cakes with variations from the classic chicharron and cheese to spinach, zucchini, and even hamburger (called "the gringo"). Balompie #3 also offers Salvadoran tamales, chiles rellenos, and carne asada, with a decent beer and wine list.
