    Happy birthday surfboard
    Quin T.

    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.

    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__

    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.

    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!

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!

    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.

    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.

    One of the bugs!

    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!

    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.

    Chris H.

    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.

    Duck breast special dish
    Ryan F.

    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!

    Allyson D.

    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!

We decided to dine here on our first evening in Punta Mita and it was an enjoyable meal. The place was a little loud if I'm being honest, but the sunset view quickly made up for that. The staff were especially nice and attentive. We started with the Chips and Guacamole, and the guacamole was exceptional. Next up was the Tuna Carpaccio which was fantastic. We then had fresh Baked bread with a very tasty spread, the Burrata and Greek salads. My better half really enjoyed the Greek salad most of all while I leaned more towards the Burrata. She had the Grilled Fish, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The kid had the Beef Tenderloin and he really, really liked it. I had the New York Strip, which was good but not great. Everything was a little heavy on the olive oil TBH. The Baklava and Pistachio Ice Cream dessert was pretty good, but the Baklava was quite dry. All in all, it was a very nice experience and I would recommend going here.

We, along with just one other table, were the only foreigners dining at the restaurant, a good sign if you're interested in eating local food in my opinion. We got some complimentary pico de gallo and chips to start. For appetizer we got a dozen freshly shucked oysters. The oysters from this area are salty and a bit chewier than most oysters you get in the states, or even on the eastern side of Mexico. We specifically came to this restaurant to eat zarandeado fish, a traditional Nayarit method of marinating then grilling the whole fish. You have to choose your fish (they charge by the kilo) then they cook it for you, takes 40-60 minutes. The fish is then served with a cabbage slaw, rice, beans and warm corn tortillas. This fish and its accompaniments made for the best DIY fish tacos we had in Mexico. After drinking my coconut water the coconut was "prepared", in other words sliced and sprinkled with tajin, just add a squeeze of lime and enjoy. All this food as well as a couple of glasses of wine, coconut water and regular flat water cost us $770 Mexican pesos (~43 US$). This is more expensive than just getting tacos at a street stand obviously but it was definitely fairly priced for this setting. Service was so friendly and accommodating.

While they do have a couple of tables inside the open air restaurant and a few at the bar, the majority of the seats are on the beach.

For our main meal, we dined on the grilled whole lobster and meat & mole with a side of grilled mushrooms. The meal was delicious, but the lobster was local and the tail was not as big as I would have liked for the price that we paid.

It was creamy, dreamy, tropical perfection, and I have legitimately been thinking about it every single day since my last bite. If "dessert withdrawal" is a thing, I have it.
