I went and had the entree platter with a few friends, it was worse than average. The food was not nice, we left a lot of food on the plate. Will not be returning.

The food is not very authentic, service is slow and the bathrooms aren’t clean. Maybe it was an off night as I had heard good things and expected a much better dining experience.

The guacamole is a amazing.. However I found the salsa too thin. The homemade corn chip were pretty good.
It was disappointing not to see Chili Con Queso on the menu, I thought all Mexican restaurants served that.
I had the pulled pork burrito for my main, it was so good.. Easily the best burrito I’ve had in Wellington.
The staff were very friendly and the meals were cooked pretty quick too (to be fair we ate fairly early so that would have contributed to the fast service).
I really enjoyed my meal at Pan De Muerto. A great spot for a casual dinner with friends or a not so romantic dinner with your partner.

Had an awesome meal here last night, was really impressed.
The stuffed Jalapeno were amazing! And the mains were fantastic too. Best mexican I’ve had in wellington.
Decor was nice, service was average. But the food was fantastic. Definitely going back next time I’m in town.

Staff (bar and waiting) attentive and friendly. Food not all that. Jalapenos starter not hot/no kick. Beef fajitas all onion (not much capsicum). Food ok but not great. Cocktails good.

Fantastic authentic Mexican food and outstanding friendly service from our Cuban waitress. Well worth a night out.

First time dining at Pan De Muerto, place looks amazing.
Great atmosphere and the food was awesome.
Service was fast and friendly.
Tequila shots served at the end of the night topped it off! Highly recommend dining here!

My girlfriends recommended that I try the Pan De Muerto! I have been missing out! It was mouth watering as soon as you walked in! The decor is cosy and inviting. I had the Fish Tacos they were absolutely divine! The rest of my table had platters and burritos. Dessert was authentic. The service was spot on! It had a family feel about it with all ages in seats.I will be back! Yum!

I went to the restaurant with 4 friends for Sunday lunch. We really enjoyed the whole package there. I have lived in Mexico for 2 years and what I tried was pretty authentic. I thought that this restaurant was more authentic than some others I have been to in NZ. I will go back.

Great decor that really does make you feel you could be in down Mexico way. Friendly staff, fast service and a good wine list. Lively music for a Friday night puts you in a weekend mood.
The food, portion size and how it looked when it came out; Great. Hurray my favourite.. Mexican food! Tequila at my side..Salud! That is where it ends ….so disappointing, bland and boring.
Come on Pan De Muerto where are the flavours of Mexico! Pack you bags and go there! Tomorrow!

I had the most disgusting experience at this restaurant tonight. We went with friends for dinner and they served me pork instead of fish. It was shredded in a spicy sauce so I couldn’t tell. I haven’t eaten red meat in 10 years! I wouldn’t know what it looks like!
This was the most horrible dining experience I have had in Wellington. Do not eat at this place.

I’ve eaten plenty of Mexican food before, and this was not good. Flavourless and bland. Leaving the chilli out and letting you use the 2 chilli sauces on the table, is NOT Mexican cooking. The service was good – friendly and quick – but I will not be going back. Boring.

Large portions and mediocre taste. Lacking flavour. A matter of quantity over quality. Gives mexican food a boring, bland, bad name.

I love this place, and much prefer it to other Mexican Restaurants (especially Flying Burrito Brothers!).
Food is cheap – $15-20 for a main.
Servings are generous.
Wait staff are lovely.
The food comes out really quickly.
I have been here 3 times, and always had a pleasant experience!

Not the best Mexican and the worst margaritas.
The table was on a slight lean and we waited around 25 minutes for our drinks.
The food was lacking in flavour and presentation wasn’t good.

You can’t please everyone when you run a restaurant but you do your damned best and Pan De Muerto does just that. Service is what you expect for a vibrant, bustling Mexican restaurant. Friendly, with attitude and attentive waiting staff – that don’t pounce on you straight away, allowing you to slip into your seat comfortable and peruse the every so deliciously mouth-watering menu. Big ups Sandwiches/Pan De Muerto what a transformation. I highly recommend the Burritos/Corn Dough Quesadillas/Fajitas/Sopes. I have been back several times and will be back for more. Pan De Muerto is hot and so is their sauce.

Tried the Grab One deal. Not greeted well when this was announced. “Another one!” with a tight smile. Never puts you in a welcomed state.
The meal was mediocre. I can understand why they sold the deal so cheaply. Won’t return. Even for another deal.

Went for lunch on Sunday, what a disappointment. Only two serving staff total on the floor and bar. Had to ask for our order to be taken as others arriving after us got served first, then our drinks order was forgotten.
Food generous portions but nothing special. All in all distinctly average.

Me and my partner went here about 7pm on a Friday night. It was fairly full and very popular. It was pretty loud and difficult to have a conversation.
The food was tasty, but my partner was disappointed in his enchilada because there was no cheese in it.
Otherwise, a great tasty meal.

What a great Mexican restaurant! We tried this out the other night and it was packed. Luckily we had booked and were quickly seated. Drinks were offered and we decided on the margarita jug, not much of of jug with it only being 2 glasses worth with half of that being ice. However the food made up for the overpriced drink. I had fabulous corn dough quesadillas and my partner had the burritos. Both meals were huge and really well priced at $15 each. We were looking forward to sampling the pud but they didn’t have any on offer.
For the price it is an excellent place to try, we have been to Sweet Mothers Kitchen and Flying Burrito Brothers many times before and the food here is similar if not better and much more affordable.
