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

I got the surf and turf in bowl form. Shrimp is cold and steak was warm. I've never like cold and hot elements together but we asked for kale to add as it was missing a crunch component.

Mal Pan had been in our area for quite some time now and I figured I would give it a try. Unfortunately, that will be the last time. Portions were tiny, drinks were watered down, food was bland, and was way overpriced. You are better off staying home and saving the money. Would not recommend.

Food and service for a great wonderful menu, but it was freezing cold. They had tarp like walls for outside eating and the main eating area was freezing! It was also very loud.

Guacamole had no flavor. Asked for salt and it came in a paper cup. Did not help. All the drinks were odd. The burritos with the fries were bland and the tortilla tasted like a Taco Bell one. It was way too hot in the dining room and wait staff seemed disingenuous. Will never return.

We visited Mal Pan for my birthday celebration with my friends. Absolutely loved it! The restaurant was really nice, the food was great. The ambiance was great, the restaurant was cleaned, nicely decorated. Our waiter Matt was super nice and did a great job recommending us the food and drinks. We will definitely be back.

Really delicious food and beverages. The service is not fast, but that doesn’t bother me when I’m going out and food was brought out hot and as it was ready. I went with my husband and another couple for a birthday dinner, and everyone really liked their food and drinks.

food was excellent. Waiter didn't write down our order and then, as expected, one entire entree didn't arrive until 15-20 minutes after everyone else was served. But the food was so, so good and they did make amends. We love Mal Pan! try the duck taquitos and the shrimp tacos. Amazing!
