The burrito gods are looking down on Tail of the Whale, smiling from ear to ear. I don't know why this place has never been recommended to me when staying on the Punta Mita compound, as I only found it through a google search. Maybe the burrito gods wanted me to earn this. Little did they know I'm from Manhattan Beach, where nothing is given, everything is earned. This spot has been a CRUCIAL find for me because I've found it tough to get an elite breakfast in the area. They have everything from waffles to chilaquiles to pancakes to a protein omelette to the aforementioned breakfast burrito blessed by the gods. Some free game here, you'd be a FOOL to not start with the pastry basket. Bread basket kinda weak tho, skip that. It has an absolute scenic view while being completely shaded by the clubhouse roof, as it overlooks the driving range of the golf course which is overlooked by the Puerto Vallarta Mountains in the distance. I also NEED to shoutout this glassware, as it ties together the entire space. This glassware was so unreal that we went and found them and bought 8 of them lol. Idk, I get inspired by the weirdest things sometimes. I could tell you where we got them but I'm gate keeping that I already give y'all enough.

Located atop the golf shop with a beautiful view of the golf course (still under construction, the dining room is covered but open so there's a nice breeze. Every table has a view.

Portions were perfect so you don't feel bloated after. Very detailed oriented with with flavors and presentation. Will be back again soon for their lunch. I highly recommend.

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.
