The papusas were freshly made and delicious. The staff didn't speak English but they worked hard to understand us. We felt very welcome. The place was not fancy but was clean. All in all a great local restaurant to support read more

It's a little hole in the wall joint but the food is incredible and the service was nice. I ordered the carne asada and was completely satisfied with my choice. The beans and rice were impeccable and the bread was delicious. 8/10 would come again! UPDATE: I came again on 06/09/2024 and the chicken tamales were just unacceptable. Very little meat and it was quite undercooked at that so all you got was a plate full of corn. 2/10 would not recommend the tamales. Con: No fountain drinks so you will be getting up-charged for bottles. read more

My partner passed this place when he had to detour due to some road closures and he craved pupusas every since so we had to try it. Originally we ordered online and paid and for whatever reason our order was canceled. I guess they were out of one of the items I ordered so when we got there we had to place our order again (they did call me and left a message but I assumed it was a spam call, so that's on me!). We ended up ordering 5 of the mixed pupusas and they were delicious and a pretty good size. It came with the shredded veggies and dipping salsa. They tasted freshly made and I was not disappointed. We took took to go and when we got back home on the NW side of OKC, they were still super hot, in a good way! I also ordered horchata, it was a little too sweet for me but I also haven't been doing much sugar so take that for what it is. read more

We called in an order. They said 25 minutes but did not even start making it until we after we arrives to pick up and pay. Second, we were charged much more than prices on its menu (same happened to my wife, a few months ago). Food is fine. read more

I absolutely hate leaving bad reviews. I really do. But I'm currently at this restaurant and have been sitting waiting for an hour for our food. At 1:31 we placed our orders (I know because I took a vid on insta of the menu at that time) and at this moment it is 2:31 and we're still waiting. No water was given, no asking if we wanted refills on our juices, no acknowledgement besides them dropping off my step-mom's fried yucca about 10 mins ago. Granted, the yucca tastes great, but this is ridiculous. At least tell us that it will take a while because you're busy or short handed or whatever, or offer water. WATER. At this point, my dad is ready to leave money on the table for the drinks and the one dish they delivered. Also, we've asked them for updates a couple of times, and all they say is "it's coming". No apology. --- Edit: so we got our food at about 2:40pm. The taste was really good for the pupusas, and the portions were really big! Such a shame we had to wait so long for them. My tamal came about 15 mins later, and that was underwhelming unfortunately. Maybe it's because I'm used to Mexican ones? Not sure, but it was pretty cheap so not a big deal. We did notice that a family who sat behind us 30 mins after we ordered got their food right after we got ours... So overall, even though the food was good, the lack of communication and service is a no for us. Just come expecting that, or order ahead for takeout and you should be fine though. I think we'll stick to that in the future since the pupusas were so good! read more

El Majahual - Chicken tamal - Salvadoran Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

The lady working there was really nice. We had one of each pupusa, the chicken tamale, empanadas, and my friend had the steak meal. Each pupusa was huge, but very little filling and lots of meal. It needed salt or seasoning and was bland. The tamale was almost all corn and very little chicken and again very bland. The steak was okay but nothing spectacular. read more

Cute little pupusa place. Not only do they have tasty, fresh, and huge pupusas, they also have fried Yucca con Chicharron. Safe to say I was in heaven. And not to mention the different selection of aguas frescas it's not your regular quaint cup of refreshment either, they serve a a whole mug of the sweet Marañon drink. I went for the pupusas and will definitely be returning to try the rest of the dishes in this cute little hole in the wall. read more

Fancy? Ha! ANYTHING BUT! Posh part of OKC? Oh, HELL no! (This joint's next to a fleabag motel on SW 29th Street that, I'm pretty sure, has rented by the hour since God was a child.) But a really good place for those who like to eat well, and at modest prices? Yes. Yes. A thousand times YES. Tangy, homemade curtido with just the right amount of cumin. Chewy, flavorful pupusas stuffed with loroco flowers. (Pork and bean options are also available.) Tasty, Salvadoran-style tamales stuffed with shredded chicken. (These are softer than Mexican tamales, true, but they're still very nice.) Clean venue with immaculate restrooms. (I'm a stickler for clean lavatories. PERIOD.) VERY friendly staff! read more

I learned to eat pupusas in Dallas, Tx. This restaurant was recommended as the best for pupusas in OKC. First impression walking through the door, was not inviting. Most tables still had plates and foot that had not been picked up. The wall paint and floor looked old and in need of a good cleaning. The pupusas were disappointing! Even though they were huge ($2.45), the filling was nonexistent. It is not an establishment that I would recommend or revisit. read more

Sorry guys. I walked oui n to your restaurant wanting to order pupsa Once I saw how dirty the place was, with five tables full of dirty plates I decided not to eat here. Really how good could the food be if your eating area looks like this. I can only walk out. read more

The papusas were great. Also got plantains and horchata. It was all great. Wish there were more agua fresca options.

Pupusas were dry didn't even have any cheese flat ass pupusas no flavor. Huevo with chorizo was dry as well didn't even have any salt either. Carne asada hard as a rock couldn't even take a bite of it. Overall food was terrible read more

Great. Service is slow since they take a lot of car in making the food. I usually order to go and it is amazing. Love their pupusas

My co worker and I always order pupusas here and love them. If you need pupusas I would recommend this place

We drove by on Saturday and we decided to stop for lunch. The food was great! The popusas are tasty. My hubby had the steak and he loved it with the freshly made tortillas. The only thing the the restaurant lack is variety in drinks. Other than that I highly recommend this place read more

What can I say. It's all good and worth the time ! It's nothing fancy but that may be why we like it. Great food and very nice staff.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO CHECK THIS PLACE NOW!!!!! It was dirty and super smelly! Definitely not authentic or they just don't know how to cook! I went there yesterday looking for some pupusas and all I got was food poison because the pork was raw inside the pupusas! It was disgusting! my husband and I got so sick that we couldn't even go to work. El lugar tiene un olor feo y no es auténtico o tal vez solo no saben cocinar! Las mujeres ahí son súper pesadas! El chicharrón de las pupusas se sentía crudo! Y el conque de la pupusa estaba solo en medio de la pupusa no saben hacerlas! Eran pura masa gruesa. Solo me comí la mitad de una y deje el resto porque me dio miedo pedir que me la cambiaran ya que la mesera se vio molesta cuando solamente le pedí si por favor me llenaba mi vaso con agua..no me imagino lo que me hubiera dicho si le decía que no quería mis pupusas. JAMAS REGRESARÍA A ESTE LUGAR. Horrible servicio. read more

What a pleasant surprise trying to go to Taqueria Durango for breakfast. I saw El Majahual, a new Salvadoran restaurant. I ordered the Huevos con Chorizo with refried beans, fried plantains, and sour cream with handmade corn tortillas. Also a delicious cup of coffee too. Manuel the owner is a very kind and welcoming man. The ladies who cook are sweet too. Please come and support this new jewel. It is a lot cheaper than El Buen Gusto on I-240. It is just as good if not better. read more

My friend said this was the place to go for pupusa so we stopped by. This place is a Salvadoran, did not know that but it is always good to try new things. Their menu is very small so for me it was hard to find something, especially since there were no pictures and didn't know about Salvadoran food. I ended up getting the cheese pupusa and corn tamale with creme. I didn't know what to expect but I really like both items. The cheese pupusa was kind of like an enclosed quesdilla with cheese in there but the cheese was wrapped in rice dough, which was great. I could probably eat several of them and they had other ones, such as plain, then with cheese and bean, and so on. In terms of the corn tamale, they were out of the tamale with meat so I got the one without. It was a little dry without any meat but I had creme so that worked. Overall inexpensive lunch, I paid about 16 bucks for two people. I did try their horchata and it was definitely sweeter than mexican horchata so if you want something sweet go for it. read more
