Out of all the resturants on Garza Blanca, this one and Bocados are the best ones. I had the shrimp risotto and wife had the shrimp pasta. Kudos to Ivan, Marco, and Fabian for the excellent above and beyond service. They were all genuine with the occasional razzing once they caught my vibe. For context, it was an all-white evening for the pre-wedding festivities later on that night. And we ordered the enchilada and tuna. I picked up one of the enchilada and it slipped and splattered all over my shirt. ALL MY FAULT. Instantly, Fabian took notice and provided some sparkling water with salt and some towels to aid. To further commend the service, Marco and Ivan were very attentive to our drinks and would refill ours almost unnoticeably. Ivan also walks around with a guac table and makes it right before you while explaining how to make it properly. The chips were good but what I really liked were the sauces; chipotle, I forgot the one on the other side, but the middle one was a roasted corn that was deliciously sweet yet savory. There is also this amazing desert called "Chocoflan en Tamal," which is a Mexican dessert that combines a corn husk tamal with a chocolate cake. The tamal is steamed in the corn husk, giving the chocolate cake a moist, spongy texture. It's a creative twist on tamales and incorporates the famous Mexican chocoflan flavor (also known as "impossible cake"). HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The dinner was pretty good but I think the appetizers and deserts are what makes this place. I got the shrimp risotto which was still REALLY good and flavorful. The rice aspect was just enough gravy-like with the shrimp drenched in oil and zesty butter. It was pretty big shrimp too. I didn't think about price since I got the all-inclusive. But please keep in mind when you go to all-inclusive resorts to please tip the staff. I know the resorts are super nice and all but the way life is out here, tips goe further than you may think. Especially if its the US dollar. I was going to end the night with an espresso, and Fabian kindly recommended if I ever had a carajillo. It's basically an iced Irish coffee if you never had one, and I would call it a Mexican coffee. But the difference is that it is made with typically Licor 43, a sweet Spanish liqueur with vanilla and citrus flavors. Highlight recommend to try if you've never tried and since you're already out in Mexico and a nice ahh restaurant. Go all out, playaz. EDIT: ALSO THEY GOT LIVE MUSIC. Like what more could you want with a view, live music, and smackin' food!
This was one of my first meals at the resort in Puerto Vallarta. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful and we got to sit right by the water. Our server was super fun and kept the tequila coming! My only thing is that the food was a bit bland. We tried other restaurants at the resort which were way better which is disappointing. This may have been because we went for dinner and perhaps they specialize in other dishes. Next time I come I would like to try the breakfast. My favorite part of our meal though, was that we wanted dessert and our server brought out every single one! We even got a note for our bridal party!
I stayed at Hotel Mousai, which is on the same property as Garza Blanca and share all-inclusive amenities. Blanca Blue is part of the all-inclusive dining package and it was probably the best restaurant on the property! We ate there the first night and had a great experience. Then had a private dinner on the beach by the chefs here and it was AMAZING!! Highly recommend this experience - the paella and shrimp salad was so so good. Plus, they offered to make a coffee cocktail for us at the end and it was legit a 10 minute show with fire and everything! One of the best dining experiences of my life!!
Five diamond luxury and full on flavor converges here in Puerto Vallarta's Blanca Blue, which greets guests of the Garza Blanca, or White Heron, which fly outside the resort and over the slice of the Pacific that it borders. Food here is impeccably prepared, just like the service. offering a range of breakfast buffet options, all savory creations, hearty, museum worthy lunches and savory, luxurious dinners, all with a view of the unending sea. high quality eats and an incomparable experience!
We stayed at Garza Blanca as all inclusive guests and dined at Blanca Blue for both breakfast and dinner. While this isn't the fanciest of the restaurants it is still more than amazing and great "casual option for a meal. Breakfast was primarily a buffet but included an omelet station, waffle station, and crepe stations that were all made to order. I would probably pass on the premade eggs as they all ended up over cooked under the lights- but that might be my harshest critique of the place. In regards to dinner I have two recommendations: get the shrimp and ask for Mexican coffee. The shrimp was AMAZING!! I will probably dream about that shrimp for a long time. The Mexican coffee comes with a show!! We didn't order it and it is one of my few regrets of my trip. The table next to us did and man was I happy to see the show it came with. We did love dinner here and enjoyed all the food ordered. Overall most of the food was great and the view of the beach is still beautiful
I loved Blanca Blue. Their creative menu was outstanding. I ate here twice. I was blown away with the grilled watermelon salad with feta. The tacos, the grilled octopus... I can't remember everything but I remember everything was good. Staff was friendly and willing to please. I would definitely recommend and go back. The view here is stunning
Blanca Blue is the only "Mexican " restaurant of the gourmet restaurants at Hotel Mousai. Since we were in Mexico, I wanted to have at least one authentic Mexican dinner. They do not offer the traditional dishes offered at Mexican restaurants back home (L.A). That said, the menu did offer delicious plates. For appetizers, we had the Melted cheese fondue, Pimiento de Piquillo frito, Tuna Tiradito, and the guacamole. All were delicious and outstanding. For main dinner courses we had the short rib and coconut shrimp which were fantastic. I did not like the chicken enchiladas plate. They also had great deserts. When originally reserved we asked for a window table since it was our anniversary, but upon arrival were told that it would take over an hour. We stepped out into the patio and took amazing sunset pictures before it started to pour.
The restaurant has great ambiance and service and good food too! We loved the sunset as we ate out on the deck.
Breakfast buffet and service are awesome here but I would not recommend the dinner. Dinner is horrible. Octopus is rubbery and gross and the food is cold. If you have the all-inclusive, just go to Hiroshi or Bocados even if you don't have a reservation (despite what your concierge says). Dinner here is a waste except for the views or during breakfast. This is where they take all the timeshare presentations for breakfast so I could only recommend the breakfast here. The omelet man station is so yummy and hey have both American and Mexican fare. Go to Hiroshi or Bocados instead if you have the all-inclusive! The reservation system is a scam - they don't really adhere to it anyway. They just want to make sure you are not eating more than one meal at Bocados or Hiroshi per night.
Fantastic restaurant located with Garza Blanca Resort. We had incredibly creative Mexican cuisine for dinner - starters through desserts were all very well done. The breakfast buffet is also an great deal ($36USD at the moment) but covered in the all-inclusive package. Want a custom omelet? Fine. Want a continental breakfast instead? No problem. Juicing? Taken care of. Seriously this was a wonderful place to enjoy many meals.
Great food, fine place and excellent bar! Ask Pedro for a great drink! HOWEVER the bar rocks ONLY when Pedro is working! If Pedro is off Friday it's ok but not great!
#112 Thank you señors for such great service while at Blanca Blue. We had just come in from our flight and wanted to relax in our room and get ready to go and eat and so forth. Our room was not ready when we arrived so we traveled to the lounge in the hotel. They offered full service food as well adjacent to the bar, but we were more focused on drinks. Glad we came. The bartender greeted us and gave us a mojito on the house after we shared our travel and check-in experience. Well, I always say there is nothing wrong with a free drink--until it is gone, that is. The bar has amazing views of the ocean and the beach. We watched the sunset as we drank and chopped it up with the bartender. Miguel (I think, I was pretty tired), told us of a few great spots to visit while we are here. I love local tips, they always turn out to be some of the best spots on a vaca. We were alerted that our room was ready so we left a tip and much thanks and promised to return before our departure in a few days. Stephani Smiles for Blanca Blue ;)

Are you look for the greatest view while you enjoy delicious foods? If so, Blanca Blue is the spot to go! I came here for brunch while staying at Hotel Musai across the street. The breakfast buffet is unbelievable. If you can dream it, they have it. Not only do they have panoramic views of the beach, they also have every type of food imaginable. They had the cutest kids station with fruit kabobs, pastries, cereals, and more...they also had an omelette station, crepes made from scratch, 3 types of fresh squeezed juices, pastries, a yogurt station and so so much more! They have a pancake or waffle bar each day with various toppings. They also have potatoes of the day and they're always delicious. If you're wanting some bread, cheese and jam, they have that too! The service is fantastic too! All the servers, hostesses and bartenders were very attentive and accommodating! I'm going to miss this place! read more
Of all the restaurants at Garza Blanca and Mousai, this was our least favorite but we also didn't get to experience a regular dinner here. We'd booked this as our first night dinner at the resort but we arrived on Halloween and were informed when we arrived for our reservation that the concierge attempted to call us and couldn't reach us. Apparently, the restaurant wasn't serving it's normal menu and instead offering a special holiday buffet. Not a huge deal but not the Mexican meal we'd been anticipating. Instead, I ended up with a couple types of pasta, papa duquesas (a mashed potato bite that was amazing), steak in a garlic sauce and fish in a chipotle sauce. There was also an assortment of Halloween inspired desserts and some special themed entertainment. We were only at the resort for 5 nights so this was our one opportunity to have a Mexican dinner here because we were booked at the other restaurants on the other nights. I'm looking forward to trying it when I return in April as there are multiple things on the menu that I'm making a note of, including: tableside guac, melted cheese, fish taco, chicken enchilada, steak fajitas and possibly the catch of the day. We did go back to try the breakfast buffet later in the trip though. It was a standard assortment of breakfast food with an omelette and crepe station and some Mexican dishes. I really liked that I was able to add turkey to my omelette. The beachfront outdoor seating is incredible. You can't beat the view! read more
Located inside Garza Blanca resort, this restaurant really surprised me. I guess I just wasn't expecting it to be so good but everything we ate at this restaurant during our stay was delicious. Tableside guacamole is a must. I'll post all of the photos of the meals I tried. We did not have the all-inclusive package and I felt the prices were very reasonable. Also, I do not drink alcohol and was really pleased with the mocktails they offered. read more

This restaurant is okay and I was so excited to try it. The food was average but the service was good. It is a great place to go for a quiet romantic dinner. The meal was not one to remember and my husband and I just wanted to say thank you and go somewhere else to eat. But it was pouring outside so we stayed. If you are staying at the Hotel Mousai or at the Garza Blanca, go to Hiroshi or STK Bocados, you will not be disappointed. This location however will be a disappointment. All the guests we talked to felt the same way. read more

Ocean front setting makes up for the bland tasting food. Presentation is superb, but flavor is not. Salsa roja for breakfast was one of the worst tasting salsas I had. Our table ordered from the menu rather than buffet. The chilaquiles verdes are an ok option. read more

I stayed at the Garza Blanca resort and was amazed on how beautiful the entire resort looked. Service was on point and they never let me down on making the best of my stay. On the first day, a few hours later after we checked in, I decided to go to Blanca Blue for lunch. It was empty during lunch time which had waiters unoccupied. They sat me down to a table near the window and the view was just astounding. I felt like I was treated like a king there and service was extremely on point. I had 2 waiters on standby just waiting to fill up my water and take my plate whenever I finish. I ordered some kind of cheese with tomato salad for my appetizer, ravioli with 2 sauces, and an egg tart for dessert. Very interesting food and it was very delicious. I would most likely recommend this place to friends and family and I would most definitely come here again. read more

The service, food, and ambiance is amazing. They have a delicious breakfast buffet with a wide variety of food to choose from. Actually one of the best breakfast buffets I've been to. Their dinner menu is ok. They're portions are very small but the quality of the food and experience is great. The dinner menu is more like a tapas menu. read more
