" Visiting El Majahual was a delightful experience! The pupusas were hands down some of the best I've ever had. I tried the revueltas and the loroco, and both were bursting with flavor. The service was friendly, and our waitress checked in with us regularly, which we appreciated. The atmosphere is simple yet charming, and everything was so affordable. I think this will be my go-to spot for Salvadoran food from now on. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The pupusas are good, but I think the hype was a bit excessive. I found the flavors pleasant but not extraordinary. The service was decent, and the atmosphere felt like a cozy diner. I expected a little more from such a well-reviewed place, but maybe I’ll give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
