Damajuana Mezcaleria Bacalar

We came here twice on our trip to Bacalar. In just a short time we could tell this place was special. It was open air and right on the Lagoon.

The owner Oscar welcomed us in for their New Year's Eve 5 course dinner which was just amazing. Every course was so unique and full of flavor. We came back the following day to have sushi at his restaurant Nao which is kind of a joint venture with Damajuana. We also did a mezcal tasting. It worked out perfectly because Oscar asked if he could join us for dinner while we did the tasting so for 2 hours we enjoyed some of the best sushi I've ever had while trying and learning about these special and delicious mezcals. Oscar's father works with him and he is one of the kindest people we've ever met. He treated us as if we were Oscar's childhood friends or something!

Oscar is an expert. His experiences with some of the women that make the mezcals are so interesting to listen to and he is passionate about what he does.

We can't wait to return to Bacalar and when we do we will be going right back to Damajuana to visit with Oscar and his father. See you soon my friends!

Discover Bacalar’s coolest bar where the cocktails/drinks dazzle and the service is unmatched. A must-visit for an unforgettable night out!

Great place! Honestly guys Oscar is really the person to tell you all about Mezcal, who the fields of Tabasco where the women graft the agave to produce the Landsfinest juice . Oscar embodies this process and brings it right to your shot glass in Baca, QROO.

As for the place itself, pretty standard to its neighbours with full access to Laguna and hospitable woods!

I never knew I needed avocado in my drinks. The Bacalar cocktail is delicious. The bartenders are super talented and if you're lucky Oscar, the owner, will stop to chat and give you a master class in mezcal tasting.

Everything I've tried pairs well with the food, and the food is also amazing. I've been here three nights on this trip and with three nights left to go, I know I'll be back at least once more.

Moy Bien... Lovely place to chill and have beautiful Japanese food

This place & experience are so GREAT !Atmosphere is chill, so cool and the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about (above all when « Great Oscar » talks about « MEZCAL »...) and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, drinks & cocktails are UNIQUE and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it.

Absolutely love this place! Some very clever cocktail making by some very talented bartenders - who knew avocado in a cocktail could be so tasty. Oscar is so friendly - wish we were staying another day so we could try out the mezcal tasting with him. Really good atmosphere and laid back vibe. Can you open one in London please? :)

I spent two evenings in this lovely place. Jorge recommended me a nice mezcal cocktail and I enjoyed also the music they played. The sushi I ordered was also very tasty. I will definitely try to come back to Bacalar and visit this place again.

Awesome place. Great vibe, friendly staff, good music, best mezcal cocktails I have had. We met the owner quickly and ended up spending the weekend with him, best guy. Definitely where the nightlife starts and eventually ends in Bacalar.

Best cocktails we've had in Mexico so far, all 4 we tried were really tasty! All mezcal based which we love. Teriyaki salmon was delicious 😋. Great Sushi and miso soup too. Nice chilled vibe overlooking the lake

Hands down the best Japanese food I’ve had in Latin America. Our waiter Jorge was really awesome and fun to talk to. Excellent service, beautiful view and nice music too. Highly recommended! Ask for Jorge!

I'm a little confused as to why this place is called Damajuana. We went 2 nights ago, and it is called Nao. Great sushi, good drinks, amazing mezcal selection...but same place as pictured here. Victor was our waiter and took excellent care of us. And it's pet friendly!!

This place was great! We had amazing food. There was a great vibe and cool people that pulled through after dinner for drinks. The highlight was the mezcal tasting we did and learnt all about the history of mezcal and what we tasted was completely different to the mezcal we are used to in Europe. This changed our perception and appreciation of mezcal! Would highly recommend for dinner; cocktails and mezcal tasting!

The best place for sushi and cocktails. Went to this place with mom and we had absolutely amazing time! Live music, chill atmosphere and reasonable prices. Will definitely come back!

I loved Damajuana! The mezcal tasting with Oscar (which I booked on Airbnb experiences) was amazing, and so was the sushi. Damajuana is located on the lagoon and has the cutest view. I loved it so much I went back twice. Highly recommend!

Amazing drinks and great vibes, we booked the mezcal tasting, which was also so interesting, Oscar was so good explaining us in details how they make every single mezcal we had. (available il both Spanish and English). In the weekend u can also enjoy live music.
Highly recommended.

It was heaven!! The place is so cozy, sushi and drinks were outstanding.
Definitely to go when in Bacalar. We were lucky and had the to listen to life band that night.

The most delicious Mezcal i've ever tasted in the most incredible setting. The music is on point and the staff are Mexico's finest. What more could you ask for? Bacalar is bliss

Really loved their mezcal cocktails, they’re truly amazing. Also very nice vibe, lovely people. Would recommend!

Such amazing sushi, cocktails, vibe, and service! Incredible gem of Bacalar! Can't wait to go back!
