This Town's Best Pupusas
With rising food prices in San Francisco, it’s hard to imagine anything filling, delicious, and unique costing under $5. A bagel with cream cheese, a slice of pizza, a Mission Dog, or a tamale (if somehow you track down the Tamale lady in a bar on a Saturday night) are just about your only options. While tacos are the cheap-and-easy standard, you may be missing out on a real treat: Pupusas.
Cheap Eat Of The Week: Balompié Cafe
What if I told you that the best meal that I, someone who dines out four or five nights a week, have had recently cost only $9.95? True! Last Friday I headed to Limón Rotisserie in hopes of getting a good, cheap meal within a one-block radius of my house. The crushing mob of people with that same idea (and the one-and-a-half hour wait) deterred me, so I soldiered on to Balompié Café, one of my favorite restaurants.
