" This place does not disappoint! Tried their chicharron pupusa and instantly fell in love. The flavors danced in my mouth, and the salsa was quite a great companion. The service was cordial, and it had a nice casual vibe. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good Salvadoran food! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of Salvadoran food, I have to say El Majahual is a gem! Their pupusas are among the best I've ever had. I especially enjoyed the chicken and cheese variety. My only complaint is that the service can be a little bit slow during peak times, but the food is totally worth the wait. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, but it feels like a local spot that prioritizes good cooking over frills. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a gem if you love authentic Salvadoran cuisine. I had the chance to try their pupusas, and they were absolutely delicious – stuffed generously with cheese and chicharron. My friends and I also enjoyed some yuca frita, which was crispy and perfectly cooked. The service was friendly, and the place exuded a welcoming vibe. The only downside was the slightly outdated decor, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. I’m definitely planning to go back with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience. The pupusas were undercooked and lacked seasoning. I also ordered a chicken dish that was dry and tasteless. The waitress was pleasant, but it didn't make up for the food quality. I won’t be returning unless I hear that they’ve improved their recipes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonight was my first visit, and I was pleasantly surprised! The pupusas were delightful - you could tell they were homemade. I loved the cheese and bean combination, it was so satisfying. Although, the service was a bit slow, it was understandable given how busy they were. All in all, I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Found this place thanks to local recommendations and wasn't let down! Had the veggie pupusa, and it was outstanding. The ambiance is relaxed, which allows for a great dining experience. Though we had to wait longer than expected for our food, it was so worth it. I’ll definitely be making this a regular stop for authentic cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" When you walk into El Majahual, you immediately feel at home. The decor is casual yet inviting, perfect for a laid-back meal. I ordered a variety of pupusas and they did not disappoint! Each had a hefty dose of flavors, especially the chicharron. The service was good, and I appreciated how attentive the staff was. I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
