First of all, food was unbelievably delicious. You can easily tell it is fresh and made in house, the flavor was extremely authentic. Secondly, the service was undeniably the best I have received in Charlotte. Our server, Kat, was extremely polite and friendly. It felt as if we had her undying attention. Despite booking a reservation through open table on Valentine’s Day. I called to let them know I was running late and they were extremely accommodating. Upon arrival we were sat immediately on their beautiful patio with heaters and quite the view of downtown Piedmont. The skirt steak was indescribably tender and flavorful with hints of whichever fat was used to perfectly cook the steak. The roasted chicken tacos were extremely refreshing and had a slight twist of citrus that was not overwhelming at all. I cannot recommend Mal Pan enough and I will 100% undoubtedly be returning.

We made reservations for a party of 10. Our server Rob was awesome. I got the OG Margarita and the Mal Pan bowl. Everyone enjoyed their food. Free 90 minute parking was in the garage next to it on the 2nd floor. Noise level is not loud.

Loved the food! The portions are large and so delicious. The queso fundido is the best cheese dip we have had. There were 5 of us and we all thought the food was great. We enjoyed tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and the Mal Pan bowl. We highly recommend eating at Mal Pan!

I had one of the best brunch experiences at Mal Pan today! From start to finish, everything was spot on. Our server, Karen, was absolutely amazing—warm, attentive, and on top of every detail without ever feeling rushed. She made us feel right at home.
I ordered the Chilaquiles Burrito and it was packed with flavor, hearty, and perfectly balanced. Truly one of those dishes you keep thinking about after the meal. So I save my other half for later…
Big!!!!! shoutout also to Andre, the manager, who checked in on us to make sure everything was perfect. That extra touch of hospitality really set the tone.
If you’re looking for a brunch spot that hits all the marks—great food, welcoming service, and a team that genuinely cares—Mal Pan is the place. Definitely coming back!

Great spot and delicious food!
The only thing that’s holding me back on a 5 Star is the music was a little too loud.
Very hard to hear the waitress and carry a conversation with my husband.

One of the best Latin spots in Charlotte, hands down. The food is great and flavorful, drinks are creative, strong, and delicious, and the service is phenomenal. Everytime I visited (which was frequent) bartenders/hostesses remembered me and were sooo kind. Shoutout to Alex, Duckie, Rob, and Jamie(I’m pretty sure that’s his name :/) for being hardworking, kind, friendly, and great at their jobs 🙂

Sat on the patio for lunch. Quick service and delicious food. Tacos were authentic and fresh. Pricier for lunch, but good food. Server was very kind and accommodating to our children. The shrimp taco was my favorite. The kids steak quesadilla was well loved. Surf burrito was great as well.

The food was super delicious. It was just a little uncomfortable we had to sit outside it was a little chilly we saw some tables empty inside but the overall food was amazing the cheese dip is smaller than what it appears on the pictures. But overall we loved and will be back with reservation, to make sure we can have full experience.

The price made me flinch for a sec when ordering but the food more than deserves the cost. The flavor profile is insane! Going to make sure I stop whenever back in the city.
