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

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mal Pan offers a delightful culinary journey with "the best Mexican in Charlotte." Guests rave about the "creative menu" and "delicious, homemade food." While vibrant, the atmosphere can be slightly noisy, and service varies. Enjoy exceptional burritos and authentic tacos, but note occasional temperature concerns during warmer months.

    This was our first time dining at Mal Pan and we certainly will return. James was our server and he was fantastic! His recommendations were spot on. In addition to tasty margaritas; we ordered the portobello quesadilla with steak added and the torta alambra. Portions were good. The steak was very tender, which isn’t always the case in dishes like quesadillas and fajitas, so that was a pleasant surprise. Flavor of everything was deep and tasty.

    Overall we had a great time at Mal Pan. Our server was amazing, attentive and helpful as we had a little one with us. The only reason for 4 star on food was the margaritas were very spicy (hard to drink). Otherwise everything was top notch and would definitely come back. Mal pan is great!

    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.
