If you’re looking for a cool, hidden gem in downtown Isla Mujeres to enjoy good drinks and tacos, then look no futher. Bandidos del Maguey (the Maguey/Agave Bandits), with their chilled out vibes in their upstairs location, on the quieter street of Avenida Juarez, are pioneers in delicious infused mezcals, fresh cocktails and traditional tacos with gourmet tortillas on Isla Mujeres.

Opened in 2020, this wonderful spot is home to some talented mixologists, who specialise infusing Mexico’s distilled agave with different flavours such as pineapple, tamarind, passionfruit and hibiscus. They also make delicious cocktails with their artesanal mezcal, which you can buy upon your visit as a great souvenir to take home with you.

In July 2021, they opened up their taqueria within the same location, make your own tacos when you choose from a selection of different meats to put in their creative variety of tortillas with options from habanero, chipotle, chocolate, plantain, to name just a few. Enjoy this Mexican experience during your stay on Isla Mujeres, they often have live DJ's too to add to the cool ambience.
