Al Chile is a counter-service spot in the Sunset serving Salvadoran-Mexican food, built around a short list of pupusas — five options, with the revuelta standing out for its charred edges and soft, dense filling. Yuca fries round out the menu as another regular order. An optional hot salsa is served alongside, and it's worth asking for.
The space is small, with only a handful of tables, so takeout is common. Service is warm and the counter has built a local following as a neighborhood go-to for pupusas on a side of the city that didn't have many.
