Balompié Cafe #1

Located on 18th Street, the dining room pairs Salvadoran cooking with Spanish dishes and shareable meat plates. While pupusas lead the order—ranging from mixed revueltas to combination specials—the kitchen also turns out spiced chorizo and sides of plátano fritos con crema. It is an unpretentious neighborhood room defined by casual comfort, friendly staff, and the aroma of freshly made food filling the air.
