Taqueria Mal Pan is a modern Mexican experience. Our chef-driven menu is a combination of both the modern and classic Mexican kitchen. You’ll experience a menu with inspiration from Baja to Yucatan and everywhere in between. In step with the theme of our kitchen, the beverage program at Mal Pan is also inspired by the old and the new. Our back bar is filled with a curated list of artisan spirits from the US, Mexico, the Caribbean and beyond. All of our craft cocktails are concocted with housemade syrups, fresh squeezed juices, shrubs, bitters and instagram worthy garnishes

    Delicious, homemade food! Great for a work/team event during the day, but will be back with friends/family in the evening! Very enjoyable time and look forward to trying the margaritas!

    Very good food. Nice to have something different than a “standard” brunch menu.

    I had a wonderful lunch at Mal Pan. The food is creative and delicious. I had the Nooner Burrito and my friend had the Mal Pan Bowl. Both very delicious. Atmosphere was nice and staff was attentive. Can't wait to go back.

    The Carne Asada (flank steak) was seasoned and cooked to perfection! The shrimp enchiladas was very wet. If you like your enchiladas drowning in sauce on the top, you're good to love this dish, but I'm personally not a fan of wet food. The drinks were nice and strong. The location and outside seating is amazing and of course the entire Piedmont row atmosphere is always stellar.
