Our family celebrated our daughter's graduation from Johns Hopkins University at Tuna Blanca, and the experience exceeded every expectation. 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. read more

This place was really good. We were told it wasn't and that was dead wrong. The staff were nice and attentive but we did catch a tiny bit of annoyance from the main guy. Not sure why. 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. read more

Amazing experience. Service was top notc- attentive, helpful, professional and unpretentious. Food was exquisite. Highlights were pad thai with shrimp (wow, the sauce!), the seared ahi (possibly the best weve ever had) and also tuna tartar. It was a beautiful meal and we are grateful. read more

Tuna Blanca - Mexican Near Me - Punta de Mita, NAY

When dining in another country if you do not have any personal recommendations, you have to rely on reviews and they can vary across the board when looking at Yelp, Google and Trip Advisor. We stayed at week at The St. Regis and wanted a nice dining experience off property and Tuna Blanca seemed to be a top winner on all 3 sites. Tuna Blanca is located at the end of their shopping district which is right across the street from the luxury hotel compound. You have to enter the Punta De Mita Beach Club to access Tuna Blanca. We ended up sitting on the beach which I soon regretted. The view was of small dinghy's tied together and way too many sellers hawking goods on the sand. While the view is absolutely nothing compared to the view from Mita Mary, the food and service made up for it. When you make reservations, they say that if you dine a la cart, you are seated inside the open air space and the beach area is reserved for people dining on the tasting menu. Maybe because it was my birthday, but we were seated outside although we dined from the a la cart menu. We started with the blue bay tuna tostada which was incredibly fresh and delicious! Our mains were the temazcal shrimp and the chargrilled beef filet that were equally just as delicious. For dessert, I chose the flower pot and to my surprise, they presented it on a surf board and sang happy birthday to me! It was really special and we loved it! Tuna Blanca was one of our best dining experiences in Punta Mita. read more

This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. We had Alex and Luan as our waiters and they were amazing. We told them that we were celebrating my sisters college graduation from John's Hopkins university and they went above and beyond to make sure she felt special bringing out all our desserts on a surfboard even researching her school logo and replicating it on the board. Not to mention the bread, the food, the desserts were all amazing and innovative! 10/10 five star experience read more

Delightful dinner, food was wonderful, great menu. Iberian ham was a great appetizer filled by fresh catch, as good as it gets. Our waiter Alex was awesome and asked him to share some wine. A bit pricey but well worth it. read more

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__ read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

This place is hands down top notch. We had the mussels, Caesar salad, and artichoke one night.

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
