Tuna Blanca by Thierry Blouet

What a beautiful experience from start to finish from the wonderful team at Tuna Blanca. I messaged them a day before to ask some questions about their vegan options. Not only was I offered some really great options I was also given the opportunity to have a 5 Course Tasting Menu, made completely vegan for me! I obviously took the opportunity to do so! I booked in for the following evening right near sunset hour. I had one of the finest meals I've had in Mexico, accompanied by the best service in Punta Mita. Yael & Filiberto were absolutely wonderful, as was the rest of the service team. Not only did they ensure my dining needs were met, but they made sure I had a wonderful seat to watch the sunset on the beach. The attention to detail was incredible. The staff were hands down the kindest, most cohesive group I've met. They all worked together perfectly. My 5 Courses, which also included an Amuse Bouche prior to the first course and a bonus desert following the 5th course. Each and every item that hit my table was magic. The presentation was spot on, and the execution of each dish was remarkable. The beverage offerings were superb. The ambiance was unlike anything else on the Punta Mita strip. I cannot say enough good things about the meal, and the fact they took my vegan requests and allergy requirements so seriously. I cannot wait to return to see Yael, Filiberto and the rest of the wonderful team at Tuna Blanca. Mucho Gracias! Chris

If you’re visiting Punta Mita make sure to come Tuna Blanca for the best food & dining experience we had during our stay. Tragically we found Tuna Blanca the last day we were in Punta Mita but fortunately the restaurant, service and ambience gave us the most memorable experience of our entire stay. I’m only comparing this to the on resort restaurants which were very good but Tuna Blanca is basically a Bib Gourmand level quality of food and service and left all other restaurants we tried wanting. Every meal we had was insane but I regret not trying the tasting menu only because I would have loved to try the entire menu. Do not skip this one. Make a beach table reservation, get a good bottle of wine and eat your memories. The mango passion fruit sorbet was life changing, something I never imagined ever thinking about sorbet. Enjoy and you’re welcome.

What an experience! I cannot say enough about the staff, the attention to detail, and the food. From start to finish the experience at Tuna Blanca was exceptional. We had the tasting menu and cocktails. The staff was engaging and caring. The cocktails were delicious. And each course of food was so well presented and every bite was amazing. My favorite was the pork belly taco. Highly recommend. We will be back on our next visit.

Great service beautiful beachfront location with indoor dining area. Definitely recommend outside for a better view of the ocean. Many options in the menu with local ingredients and creative plating. The menu was throughly explained by our waiters David and Andres. The only downside is the price which I felt was a little too much for some plates... but then again you're in a fine dining restaurant and in Punta Mita...

Such a fabulous experience in Punta de Mita! The tuna was fresh, the Caesar salad prepared at the table was fantastic, and the Coffee des Artiste amazing! Service and atmosphere outstanding! Loved the whole evening!

Looking for a slice of culinary heaven with a side of sand between your toes? Look no further than Tuna Blanca in Punta Mita. This gem of a restaurant is like a hidden treasure chest, except instead of gold, it's filled with tantalizing dishes that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. First off, let's talk ambiance. Picture this: your feet buried in the soft sand, a gentle breeze caressing your face, and a view of the Bay of Banderas so stunning it could make a sunset jealous. Yeah, it's that good. Now, onto the main event: the food. We dove headfirst into the five-course culinary menu, and boy, were we in for a treat. Each dish was like a work of art on a plate, bursting with flavor and creativity. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we decided to go all-in with the wine pairing. Let's just say, we were on cloud wine. Sure, Tuna Blanca might be a bit on the pricey side, but trust me when I say it's worth every penny. After all, where else can you celebrate life's milestones in such style? And let's not forget about the dynamic duo of Gabriel and Alejandro, who made sure our dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. They were like culinary ninjas, always one step ahead and oh-so-attentive. So, if you're looking to elevate your dining game and create memories that'll last a lifetime, do yourself a favor and book a table at Tuna Blanca. Your taste buds will thank you, and you might just find yourself planning your next celebration before you've even finished dessert. Cheers to good food, good company, and good vibes! Btw, here's an interesting fact about Thierry Blouet who's the mastermind behind each dishes : Did you know that he's not just a renowned chef, but also a talented artist? Alongside his culinary expertise, Blouet is known for his passion for painting. He often incorporates elements of art into his dishes, creating visually stunning presentations that are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate. It's like dining at a gallery where every plate is a masterpiece! Have a look at our dessert plate and you'll understand what I mean 😏 😜

Alex and the entire staff made this evening one to remember. Truly, an exceptional journey from beginning to end. The drinks, amazing. Views, stunning. Food, delightful. The tuna and taco appetizers are musts. Freshness meets complexity - they were the best tacos we had while in Punta Mita and the tuna melted liked it was just caught. The short rib was truly spectacular in presentation and dish compliments. Pistachio crusted lamb chops gave us everything we could have hoped for and more. Alex and our wait staff also ensured we were celebrated from beginning to end, including our dessert of choice presented in a manner unlike what we have ever experienced. Chef truly outdid themselves. We will be coming back to Punta Mita - and Tuna Blanca is one of the reasons.

Excellent meal, very pleasantly surprised with the mix of flavors and fresh ingredients. Service was top-notch, and they gave us something special for my wife’s birthday.

Good appetizers and beverage selection. Ambiance was up beat, a lot of birthday party celebrations. Seating on the beach was nice but could have used some mats or something slide chairs out. Mains were pretty good but fish of the day was overcooked. This is as close to fine dining as you will get in town. Price is on the higher side, the 5 course chef's meal was just under 1900 pesos and 950 I believe for wine addition. Worth going once, especially for adults. Their service was attentive. Waiter checked in multiple times.

Being Yelp Elite for almost a full calendar year now and having recently finished Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, I think, or rather I know, that I am a moral authority on upscale dining establishments. When I saw that THE Thierry Blouet had a restaurant in Punta Mita, I couldn't start the electric golf cart fast enough to get over there. A TB restaurant in Punta Mita?! It couldn't be......Just kidding I have no idea who that is, but I'm gonna do a quick google search on him. Stay with me...................................... Okay damn his grandpa spent 30 years as General Manager of George V in Paris that's actually beast. Ok ok ok I hear you: "But Johnny isn't this just another classic case of nepotism?" A good question indeed my dear reader as we must ask these hard hitting questions to have a clearer picture of the truth. But I assure you, as I am Yelp Elite for almost a full calendar year and having finished Kitchen Confidential in under a month, this couldn't be further from the truth. This was one of the most creative, delicious, and fun meals I have had in a long time. The Pumpkin Soup was served out of a literal Pumpkin. The Temezcal Shrimp was fire grilled tableside. The Tuna Tostada was OUT OF THIS MF WORLD! WOW! CLAP IT UP FOR THAT TUNA TOSTADA! Even a simple dish like my Catch of the Day was plated and presented in a passionate, inviting way that brought a smile to my face and a flood of anticipation to my empty belly. The food had me so enamored that I haven't even mentioned we were sitting outside about 20 feet from the water, hearing the waves crash just beyond the elevated seating. There was also a guy playing guitar and singing taking song requests. I requested Danny's Song but he didn't know it. That's alright though, I was just ready to belt "EVEN THOUGH, WE AIN'T GOT MONAAYYYY, IM SO IN LOVE WITH YA HONNEEEYYYY!!!" My parents requested "Can't Help Falling in Love'' by Elvis as it was their wedding song so it was actually a really cute moment as they sat there swaying to the guitar chords and softly mouthing the lyrics with a slight content smile on their faces just taking in the vibe hehehe. All in all, I'm finding it rarer and rarer to find people putting passion in their work in any area of life. Movies seem to be all superhero movies or reboots of old classics. Music has become all about getting songs to catch for Tiktok. I get it, it makes money and that's great. I see no evil in that. But where has all the passion gone? Where has all the love gone? Where has all the fun gone? As one of my favorite writers, Millan Verma puts it, where has all the "art for arts sake" gone? I'll tell ya where it's gone, it's gone right here to Av. El Anclote S/N 63734 Punta de Mita where Tuna Blanca by my guy Thierry Blouet stands tall! THANK YOU TB, YOUDA MAN MI AMIGO!! I KNOW YOU NOW AND I WON'T FORGET! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Tuna Blanca was probably my favorite meal that we had when we visited Punta Mita. We originally had reservations at 8 pm but decided to change it to 6 pm to catch the sunset, which I highly recommend since the restaurant is located right on the beach. Jimmy warmly welcomed us as soon as we were seated. We started off with cocktails and ceviche. The view was very enjoyable, we were able to see whales in the ocean as well! It wasn't hard to convince us to try their "temptation" (5 course tasting) menu for 1,700 pesos. I had the tuna tostada, pork belly taco, grilled octopus, filet, and corn bread. Every course was delicious and presented beautifully. However, the dessert was the biggest surprise for me! It was so thoughtful for them to create such a sugar masterpiece on a surfboard with a sparkler for my birthday. Service here is wonderful. Jimmy was attentive, always checking up on us to make sure everything was great. We had such a memorable dinner here, definitely a must for any type of celebration! Salud!

The Ambiance was lovely and they even had a person playing saxophone. Service was excellent. Every detail was attended to. All of the dishes were wonderful and I would say this was the best meal we had so far on this trip.

Such an amazing view!!! It gets more beautiful as the night falls!!! The service by Gabriel was truly a pleasure to receive!!! We felt so cared for and absolutely catered to!!! Just the nicest feels! The food was 5star!!! Every bit was an explosion in my mouth!!! Seriously couldn't ask for better food!!! Unforgettable experience!

This was hands down the best food we ate on this trip. Most of our time was spent eating at Resturant's in the Conrad Hotel. This was suggested by one of the bartenders and it was well worth the trip. We did the temptations menu which was five courses and we did the wine pairing. The wine was ok but we are somewhat wine snobs so we like higher end wines. They paired well with the dishes. Everything we had here was excellent and the atmosphere and view of the ocean was amazing. The beef short rib was amazing as was the mahi mahi which was super fresh.

My family and I have traveled the world and have eaten in many five star restaurants. We had the most disgusting experience at this restaurant. I am a pescatarian and was very careful with my meal selection... I ordered shrimp that was cooked in front of us... The shrimp was supposed to be mixed with sautéed vegetables. The menu said shrimp and sautéed vegetables! Because this restaurant is on the beach and it was night time it was very difficult to see what we were eating. I had eaten almost half of my meal when my daughter turned the flashlight on from her phone so she could see what was in my dinner. It was then that I realized I had been eating winged ants crickets and worms! I immediately jumped up and ran for the bathroom where I was very very sick. My husband tried to tell the waiter that it was unacceptable but he replied with "it's a Mexican delicacy and it was normal and I shouldn't be upset". Any other fine dining restaurant or meal would've comped our meal or at least admitted fault but they did not know how to handle the situation as they kept insisting that it wasn't a problem. Be careful what you order here if you even go. My family and I will never return to this place and we travel to this area yearly!

This place is amazing! Tuna tostado is to die for. Short ribs were awesome, drinks were perfect and the caramel dessert was delicious. The service could not have been better! This place is a must visit!

Always the best. Our luck would have it November is a good month to visit to have expanded menu with guest chefs visiting from all over Mexico top restaurants. I had the Duck with pumpkin spice, mole and grilled bak choy special dish. Highly recommended!

I was super confused by the menu. But don't let that stop you. My wife and I ordered the table side Caesar salad to start and the tuna crudo. Salad is out of this world good. For entrees we ordered the beef fillet and the shrimp. They prepare the shrimp with a flaming show table side. We came a bit early and the hostess was super nice and gave us a primo seat on the water. Wonderful restaurant and experience.

This place is hands down top notch. We had the mussels, Caesar salad, and artichoke one night. The shrimp cooked table side and the grilled octopus were are choices the second night and both were amazing. Service is out of this world and the view is the best in town. This is our favorite spot in Punta Mita for a romantic on the beach dinner.

The location on the seaside is certainly a big draw. Started off with the Unforgettable cocktail but sadly it was pretty forgettable. Their tuna tostada was okay. The flavor was pretty single note and had an overload of arugula. The ceviche of the day was a mahi mahi with aguachile poured on top. The ceviche was flavorful but the watermelon didnt mesh quite well with the aguachile. Staff is attentive and friendly.

Went here for my birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! Everything that we ordered was outstanding, and the birthday dessert surfboard with sparklers was just delightful, along with the ocean view. Service was phenomenal!

Beautiful setting and very attentive waitstaff. We had the Cesar salad, octopus and catch of the day

This place was jaw dropping! Beautiful views and the restaurant it's self was just perfect. Our service from the time we walked in and the hostess and manager greeted us to our 2 servers..James B and David was incredible. These guys work to make a perfect night and it was!! The presentation of food and dessert was unbeatable!! We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Punta Mita.

Great service. Fun atmosphere. Food was delicious. The desert comes in a surf board. The braze short ribs were. Wry good. Definitely a place to try if your in the area.

If you go to Punta Mita Mexico you MUST visit this restaurant. Right on the beach so we had an amazing gourmet dinner with a view of the sunset. The hostess, server, and manager knew our names from the moment we arrived and both the service and the food were outstanding. We had a tasting menu that included a different glass of wine with each food dish , and everything was divine. It was my birthday that day and they made the most beautiful, elaborate and delicious sugar sculpture dessert with my name and sang happy birthday to me. It was an unforgettable experience. This place is a MUST!!!! Amazing.

Nothing like it's sister restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. Service and food lacked attention to detail. The staff was very friendly and accommodating , management helpful since our reservation didn't show up on there books. Over all it was an average meal, nothing really stood out.

I have to say this place is Wow , like everything the place to start is beautiful with amazing views , the good is excellent I had the best lobster ever fresh ,juice just delicious . The service was great is one of those places that make your wishes come true . They are kind,thoughtful and Cesar was fantastic he was pretty much our food Guru all his suggestions were fantastic.

My family and I had dinner at Tuna Blanca on 7-27-21. This restaurant came highly recommended at it was subpar to say the least. Pros: The restaurant is located right on the beach with a beautiful view and the service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and service was prompt. Cons: First, the restaurant didn't have three menu items on that day. The restaurant had a very limited menu AND they were out of three items. Second, my son ordered a strawberry daiquiri and it had a hair in it. Third, the medallions of beef had the consistency of hamburger meat with no flavor. Lastly, the cost of the meal was rather expensive relative to the dinning experience. In conclusion, save your money and find another restaurant.

I got food poisoning from their tuna. I had a tuna tostada then asked not to come out with the seared tuna which ended up giving me food poisoning.

I was skeptical at first because usually fine dining restaurants in a tourist down arent that great, but this place completely surpassed my expectations. They sat us right by the beach and it was this beautiful view pictured below (I had a reservation for 7:00 PM). I ordered the 6 oz short rib which absolutely melted in my mouth with the perfect amount of tenderness and flavor - it also came with some mashed potatoes. My mom ordered the shrimp which was cooked right in front of us on hot stones - an amazing show and one of their fan favorites. The service is a complete 10/10 - people are so friendly and help you over the steps when available, their servers are the perfect amount between attentive and letting you enjoy your meal. There were also couples celebrating their anniversary where the servers would bring them desert on a surfboard with sparklers (absolutely gorgeous). Their cocktails are pretty good as well - we ordered 4 total and enjoyed all of them. 100% worth the money!

Wow, what a spot! Excellent service and loved the presentation of (delicious) food. I got the Octopus for my entree and it did not disappoint. This is a must if you are in the area.

We were there in august . The food was mix . Service was good , ambiance was romantic on the beach . I give a 3 star because the food was not good .

This was our favorite meal in Mexico during our vacation. The food is incredible and the atmosphere of eating while gazing out at the water was a dream! The service was impeccable. The manager Cesar was exceptional. Worth the splurge!

If you are going to celebrate in Punta de Mita, Tuna Blanca is the place to go. The food, ambiance, and service are stellar. Our waiters, Salvador and Jaime were amazing and didn't forget a thing! My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, and wanted a great meal and a place that we would remember. We got both here and it will be a meal we talk about for a long time. My husband ordered the 5 course meal and every bite was delicious (I got to taste each item as well, and the octopus was my favorite). Everything from the tuna tostada, the pig taco, octopus, filet and dessert was a celebration in the mouth. I knew I couldn't eat that much food so I ordered the ceviche and the tuna and enjoyed every bite. The "foam" on the tuna medallions added green freshness and the whole dish was not only beautiful but delicious. We will definitely be back! Thank you for making our anniversary so special.

By far and away the very best meal we had in Punta Mita. We were seated outdoors right on the beach just around sunset. Absolutely beautiful. Service was impeccable. Every dish was delicious. We were celebrating my daughter's birthday. They brought out a lovely spun Sugar dessert, board. We got to meet the chef and the pastry chef all the staff was wonderful. This is a don't miss in Punta Mita.

It's an attractive place, with the inside dining area opening up to the outside (covered) patio, leading to the uncovered area that overlooks the beach. We opted for the outside covered area, since the sun was still pretty intense. I'm glad we did, because we noticed that people walking on the beach -- one right after another -- were attempting to sell jewelry, blankets, candy, and I'm not sure what else to the diners seated on the perimeter. The servers' demeanor was extravagant, borderline obsequious -- the maître d' was watching them like a hawk -- but that's not surprising for an establishment that caters to (mostly American) tourists. We ordered fairly simple starters -- a quinoa salad for me -- then for our entrees, my husband got the short ribs, which were HUGE and smothered in sauce. I think he liked them, but it looked intense (and I'm hardly a delicate bird when it comes to eating). I ordered shrimp cooked on hot rocks, which were tasty. None of it would make me run back, but everything was fine. And then, when it came time for the check, the servers who had come by our table every two minutes for water refills, "how is everything?" suddenly were occupied with other things. Even after several requests, we could not get our check. It was odd; usually, producing the bill is when busy restaurants are at their most efficient! There are other restaurants in the area; if we were to return to Punta Mita, I'd consider this place a one-and-done.

Wonderful meal at Tuna Blanca. Great place for a birthday or anniversary celebration. Perfect location and top rate attentive service. We all enjoyed our appetizers and main dishes. Short rib was especially good. Dessert display was great. Clay pot dessert was so good.

Our first time at Tuna Blanca! This place is incredible. We sat outside right in the water. We were WELL taken care of by the MOST professional team I have ever encountered. Alex and Guillermo. They were excellent!! Ask for them!! They knew everything about the menu, the wines, the history of the ingredients- again true professionals taking pride in their work and work place. Everything we had on the Tasting Menu (which we highly recommend at Alex's encouragement) was a journey of flavors and textures. I cannot explain how delicious every course was. The flavors build off each other. We were in HEAVEN! If you are looking for a very special place that is absolutely romantic and beautiful. This is your place. I don't have the words to do Tuna Blanca justice. It's TOP NOTCH at every level

Fantastic spot! Had dinner last week and as usual the Yelpers nailed it! Start with the pumpkin soup!!! So good. I also had the pork tacos and they were the best thing I are all week! Wife had the steak and didn't leave a bite for me. Jesse and Raul run the front like pros they are and are the nicest folks around. We probably sent 5 other couples from the W to hang with the good people from here. It's a beautiful spot either inside or out. Chic but casual and easy to sit back and have a bottle of wine off a really well thought out list. Bravo to my new amigos!! I'll be back soon!

Be still my foodie heart. Every thing about Tuna Blanca is top notch! My family and I dined early, so we basically had the place to ourselves, and felt like we got royal treatment. From the hostess, to the waiter, and all the other staff, absolutely warm and friendly, and so accommodating. Let's start with the delicious bread basket, soft little croissants, bread, and crispy bread sticks, my kids loved them all! They gave us complimentary smoked marlin baby tostadas, so delicious!! The Smokey fish, a hint of jalapeño was perfect. We ordered fettuccine with shrimp, my daughter and husband said it was some of the best they have had! My two boys had beef medallions with fries, and they gobbled it up! My husband got the pumpkin soup - which we all tried, and all Loved, and the short rib birria style, and said it was the best he's had in years! I got the mixed salad with roasted vegetables, and the shrimp temazcal, flamed cooked table side! The salad was so delicate, so flavorful, everything I love with the warm veggies and goat cheese. The shrimp was absolutely amazing! The fennel and mole sauce was the perfect touch of flavor! This was the best meal we've had in Punta Mita, and one of the best period! When we come back we will go here again! I wish I took more pictures, but I tend to forget when I'm vacationing with family.

This restaurant is beautiful, right in front of the ocean with spectacular views. To top that off there is a piano player playing live while you have your dinner. Our amazing dinner began with some appetizers. The most amazing was the pig tacos. These have to be the best tacos I have ever had! The pig is made to perfection. It is juicy and sweet but not too sweet. My family was fighting over the tacos! I ordered them without jocoque. You have to have them with everything else though; the onions, the salsa. They are out of this world good! The tomato salad with mozzarella mousse is also original and incredible. Yellow, green and red tomatoes with a mozzarella mouse and a delicious nut dressing that you will want to lick off the plate. Next was the prawn and soup is a must! For desert we shared the flower pot. Basically it's a flour pot full of chocolate cake and chocolate mousse on a surfboard. Very original and delicious desert! Overall great service and amazing food. I will be back again!

10+ all the way around! The service was exceptional, the food was out of this world ,,,the flavors and combinations were incredible! Cocktails and dessert terrific!! 10++++ We can't wait to go back! Best experience we've had this far in Punta Mita!

I don't think that the restaurant anywhere in Mexico, can get any better than Tuna. If you are sitting outside, it's really romantic and if you are sitting inside it's really classy. Live piano and fantastic food! What more can you ask for, while on a holiday! Exceptional food and lots of it! The lobster was on special and you get 3!!! of them. Our waiter was brilliant!! He was professional but at the same time very funny, he made us really comfortable and relaxed throughout all evening. Great dishes, great flavors, and brilliant service. Coming back here for sure when next time in Punta Mita!

Surfside excellence, and not to be missed when in Punta Mita. More like 4.5 stars, due to a couple of minor qualms, but with a nod to 5 for the overall quality. Come hungry! The entrance alone is spectacular, a cascading staircase through a waterfall! You legitimately feel transported into another time; tranquility zone! The restaurant is a short ride from the resorts, into town and the first sight at the bottom of the hill. We were seated promptly at the water's edge, knowing full well having dined nearby the night before that doing so meant local vendors would be part of our entertainment for the evening. Being a Sunday, they were far fewer in number, and a rope barrier kept them at bay. Service was prompt and courteous throughout the meal, from drinks to dessert. They generously made me a delicious off-menu mocktail. Prior to our appetizers arriving, a delicious amuse bouche got our appetites fired up: fresh tuna ceviche in an avocado jalapeno sauce, on a cracker. Wonderful. The bread basket was also delicious, especially the one stuffed with cream cheese. For appetizers, my wife had a delicious chili relleno, while I had their 26-years-on-the-menu crema de langostina and pumpkin soup. Yes it felt like it was 100 degrees out, but the soup is worth the juxtaposition. Outstanding, and it should be on the menu for at least another 26 years. I won't spoil the surprise, but the delivery is a fun experience. On that note, holy crap it was hot. Yes, we're in Mexico! Been hot all week! Our restaurant the night before, though, had little fans everywhere to circulate the air. Tables along the water in the first row could only sweat and cry jealous tears compared to the tables one row back with their fans. Our main courses were fortunately as good as the appetizers; I had the fresh catch tuna steak (because, hey, Tuna Blanca means white tuna) and it was possibly the best tuna steak I've ever had. Enormous portion and perfectly cooked. My wife had the not-normally-on-the-menu fresh-caught lobster. Neither of us are really lobster lovers, but this was amazing, including the table-side prep. Speaking of tableside prep, the Caeser salad is made that way, and looked amazing. Several orders around us made us regret the oversight, not that we had room for an additional course. For dessert we shared La Maceta, literally a flower pot, with fake flowers, packed with layers of chocolate cake and mousse, topped with crumbled chocolate cake and edible chocolate "rocks." Probably enough for 4 to share, but this pair, undaunted, made a great dent. Our only lament was that it was apparently one of the few deserts not served on a surfboard. In total, the bill was more than reasonable. The weird finish, though, was what felt like a required quality of service survey we had to complete on a non-cooperative Google tablet. That was simply awkward. I'd recommend the restaurant deliver this as more of an option than as a requirement. They also kindly called us a cab for our ride home, which promptly arrived.

The quick review is: food is great, and ambience is terrific. But definitely specify you'd like to be outside. I'd really like to give kudos to the overall service and the manager. We were originally seated inside, and I was unhappy. Meanwhile all our servers were attentive and terrific. Eventually the manager came and moved us outside, he even made sure our indoor server (who was awesome) stayed with our table. Everyone was awesome. Food was all good. They were missing a couple of items but our entrees (octupus, mahi mahi, short rib, lamb and the (flaming!) shrimp) were all great. We also liked the presentation on the table side Caesar (maybe a little heavy on the Dijon they mix in, but solid). Lots going on. Live music floating around, fireworks. Fun time. We loved it.

We went to Cafe des Artistes in Puerto Vallarta a couple days prior and while I liked Tuna Blanca, Cafe des Artistes was better. Both had a beautiful piano inside but Tuna Blanca's location along the water made it impossible hear the music that was playing. It was such a shame. The garden decor at Cafe des Artistes was so stunning and surreal. Conceptually, sitting by the beach is nice, but it got dark and cold at Tuna Blanca. We started with the prawn & pumpkin soup, which was excellent. I love how it was served straight out of a pumpkin. We had two orders and shared it among the four of us. We also got the poblano pepper stuffed with ratatouille. We each had a small bite but one bite was enough. It didn't taste that special. For my entree, I got the broiled octopus. The preparation was great! One of my friends ordered the Argentine steak and another got the catch of the day, which was snapper. I tried both and thought the steak was good and the snapper was average. Even though we were stuffed, we were there to celebrate my friend's birthday and we ordered the "Flowerpot" dessert to share. It was served on a huge surfboard, decorated with sugar and chocolate "Happy Birthday" and macarons. It's the same as what they do at Cafe des Artistes, except on a board instead of a mirror. Given the beachfront setting, Tuna Blanca definitely felt more casual than Cafe des Artistes. Both are lovely; I just prefer the original.

Best restaurant of our 5 day stay. We drove from sayulita for this due to a recommendation. The view is INSANELY beautiful and the tasting menu made us feel so posh and taken care of. Gerry was our waiter and made the evening a delight. Treat yourself and do the 5 course tasting menu, you will not be disappointed.

One of the best meals and service I have had in many years. From the moment we sat down every member of the restaurant staff made us feel special and welcome. We tried the tasting menu and every portion was more impressive than the next. Will definitely be returning. Should out to the two Alex's, Cesar, and el jefe Thierry.

It was a wonderful dining experience from walking thru the door to walking out. A lively fun dinner, excellent service, epic food, and fun for the entire family.

AMAZING Anniversary Dinner!! Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff went above and beyond to make our night very memorable. Enrique, our server was very friendly & efficient...The Best!!! The dessert was a beautiful surprise and they even added a 6 to show our anniversary year! We loved it all!!!

Wow! This was delicious. The service was incredible, the flaming shrimp was delicious. The Cesar Salad is a must! Both are prepared at the table. Super yummy, our family had a blast. I highly recommend it.

Spectacular beachfront dining. Delicious cocktails. Outstanding meals beautifully presented. Everything was wonderful. We loved this place.

Wow. Just wow! What a great experience we had here. I think the food probably gets a 4-4.5 star but the service was so beyond amazing this gets a 5 star for sure. We came here with my family and aunt/uncle for our pre-bday dinner. We all order drinks, appetizers, and dinner. I have recently developed a ton of allergies to really common ingredients (garlic and onion), and they were able to accommodate so well. to start we ordered the tuna appetizer, with chips/guac, and a few caprese salads. All were pretty good. I then ordered the Argentine steak dish, except I got it just plain, with salt and pepper and the vegetables. Med. rare. It was DELICIOUS! Really such a quality piece of meat. Everyone else, for the most part, enjoyed their dish (especially the catch of day--mahi mahi--dish). The service was out of this freakin' world! Our main waiter, Gabriel was on top of everything, so friendly and understanding, and just overall a pleasure to work with for the night. They waited on us hand and foot for water and everything else we needed. The bday celebrations including the drinks with the "fire pour" were just awesome! A+ from me.

This place ironically only cares about your reviews.... it obviously doesn't care about your local business. Please let me explain... we are dining like most patrons and looking forward to a quiet dinner on the ocean. We know this will be the most expensive dinner out in Punta de Mita and so our expectations are higher than normal. So imagine, you are trying to eat next to a table with commercial lighting in your face and a crew of at least 8 staff, 2 actors, microphones etc.. the icing on the cake is when the crew knocks into your table and and asks if you could move back a bit. Really? The owners allowed a social media commercial to shot in the middle of dinner when "REAL" patrons were dining. What would you do? I asked to speak to a manger so I could share with them how sad I was that they let a reality show take over where real patrons were wanting to share a real experience. No one came... a bill arrived...a bill was paid...and I went home feeling very sad. No need to pay good money for fake reality...you can do that at home on the TV. Dear Managers, when a guest asks to speak to owner please do this so we can help them. As a business owner its so important to know how our customers are feeling so we can improve...hiding complaints only hurts us all.

Happenstance brought us to this little gem of a restaurant! The waitstaff was attentive, kind and provided great insight to the imaginative menu! We loved Gabriel; he clearly enjoys making people happy. The pumpkin soup was rich and flavorful---the presentation was creative! The "catch of the day" was Mahi mahi--excellent preparation and presentation! Our daughter is celiac and they went out of their way to be sure she would be safe and happy! Thank you! Their margaritas were impressive! Great night!

Wow! We stumbled upon this place and it was amazing! Gerry our waiter was the best. So loving and kind and even sneakily asked if it was a special occasion and then brought us a big surf board of custom designed desert. Gerrys recommendations were spot on! We especially loved the pork tacos and shrimp. The skinny margaritas were way too good! So happy to come back. Blessings to all!
