The food was outstanding, the oceanfront setting was beautiful, and dining to the sound of the waves made the evening even more special. What truly set the experience apart was the attention to detail. Alejandro and the team went above and beyond by creating a personalized dessert presentation on a surfboard featuring the Johns Hopkins insignia, along with a variety of delicious desserts to celebrate the occasion. The service was warm, thoughtful, and impeccable from start to finish. Thank you, Alejandro, for helping create a memorable celebration for our family. We highly recommend Tuna Blanca for anyone looking for exceptional food, breathtaking ambiance, and service that makes special occasions unforgettable.

Maybe because we don't drink. The ambiance was on point. The tables inside were very colorful with a beach vibe. The outside table we sat at had a beautiful view. The amuse bouche was very tasty as were all of the starter apps. Honestly the mains paled in comparison to the apps which was too bad. I had the Suckling Pig Taco which blew me away even with that name LOL. They were so good I discussed this with one of the waiters and he fully agreed. The Thai Noodles in Ginger Sauce was good but a little cold. I think that's how they serve it. The Amaranth-Fried Soft Shell Crab was especially tasty. The Bay Tuna Tostada was excellent. The Grilled Octopus in a Red Mole was good though a little slimy. I love it when places give you a little included dessert and the Coconut Macaroons did not disappoint. I definitely recommend this place. No doubt.

We ordered the bbq for 2. It was a plate with some of everything(beef, ribs, chicken, pork and sausage) and cactus, grilled onions, beans, tortillas and a couple of small quesadillas on the side. Our server spoke excellent English and the place was very comfortable. They have a nice area for kids. If you want to come during the day and have them hang out there while they're waiting for their food. I got the barbecue sauce which is a side that you have to ask for and it was very tasty We really enjoyed this place. It felt more authentic and more local than most of the places we normally go to in the South part of the town on the coast. It was about a third less expensive.

Rooftop patio with twinkle lights, friendly and attentive service, and delicious food -- what more can you ask for! We got the guacamole and tuna sashimi as appetizers, and the guacamole (as well as the complimentary salsa) was made right at the table to our exact specifications (mild, please!). We weren't really drinking tonight, so got virgin strawberry daiquiris which were essentially delicious smoothies. I bet the real ones are top notch, too. For mains, I had the chicken fajitas, which came with additional guacamole, rice, and beans in a build-your-own style. My partner had the tomato cream soup, which came with biscuits and had a beautiful presentation. We asked if they served lunch on the way out (they do, opens at 2pm), since we can't wait to come back. We got two churros to go since some of the reviews raved about them -- still too full to eat them but looking forward to it!

We felt right at home while also being clearly in a well curated and maintained restaurant. The food is outstanding! The first Amuse-Bouche course of Broccoli Soup was very tasty. Next we had the Tiradito, which was really good but a tad heavy on the sauce. I know it was supposed to be more of a soup and it was definitely good. The Pork Belly Gordita with Oaxacan Cheese was amazing. We also enjoyed Prawns in Mole Sauce with Cheese sprinkled on top, which was excellent. The House Made Pasta with Vegetables was delicious though again a little heavy on the sauce. The New York Strip was very good and cooked perfectly but a little fattier than I'm used from a New York cut. To end the evening, we had Churros with Caramel and Chocolate Sauces alongside a scoop of really good and creamy Vanilla Ice Cream on a bed of what seemed like refined Oreos. Everyone who greeted us and waited on us was super nice and attentive. This was one of the best meals we had in Punta Mita.

Fell apart with one touch of the fork and it was paired with a light and creamy mushroom risotto. The service was impeccable and we were taken care of the whole night! The churros were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside complimented with a sweet vanilla ice cream.
