On a long walk from our rental condo...we happened upon this place. We ordered the mai Mai grilled tacos and a couple margaritas. WOW.. the tacos where so good along with the service and pricing is very very reasonable. A week later we had friends come down to visit us and the second night (Friday) we took them to Eddie's.. Once again we were not disappointed..there was also live music that night and the weather and background was perfect. We did not have a reservation but they fit us in..I would highly recommend this place and we will probably go again before we leave to go back home.

Another very nice place to eat and reasonably priced! Our table of 6 ordered a variety of items off the menu; avocado stuffed with shrimp, fajitas, enchiladas, grilled mahi Mahi, all were very nicely presented and the consensus was that all the food was delicious. Like many of the other restaurants we’ve been to on this trip, the service was excellent…and add the live music, we had a perfect evening…I highly recommended this restaurant…

So much food! The jumbo shrimp looked like small lobsters. My “medium” manhattan came in a goblet. By the time lamb kabob came, two shrimp and half a fattoush salad had already filled me up. Live music. Reservations recommended.

Every once in awhile you get a perfect meal at a restaurant, and then you return for something that wasn't as good as the first time. This happens allot no matter where you live or travel. On this day my meal was perfection and top quality. Since I've only been here once I can't speak to the consistency but the chef delivered an excellent culinary experience on this occasion. I would recommend trying this place and hopefully you'll have the same experience I did. The live music was also great and relaxing. Cheers to the staff for making this a memorable time. I'll be back again!

Wonderful food and great service. Where else can you get almost a liter of Pina Colada with a view of the marina ?! The last time I visited Eddie's Place was 8 years ago and it is still incredible!

A definitely not to miss restaurant. Amazing food, Amazing drinks and amazing stuff. Thank you Oscar for making our trip to Puerto Vallarta memorable by serving us incredible food and the drinks. By the way, the jalapeno Margarita is to die for.

Had the coconut prawns and greek salad. Both were good. The salad was more like a house salad with a few tomatoes, etc, thrown in. The prawns were filling. Breaded and deep-fried, presentation was lackluster. The fresh blackberry margarita was great!

Eddie's Place comes highly rated. Cash only. Bring Pesos, the exchange rate for either Canadian or US dollars is bad. We decided to try Eddie's Place for a late lunch. Here's my take ..... The Good, The Boring and the right OFF THE CHARTS. First- The Boring ...we ordered the Eddie's Place Caesar salad. I've eaten Caesar salads all over the world. In my opinion , the Caesar at Eddie's is just plain boring. The dressing makes a Caesar and Eddie's Caesar dressing is a total waste. Worse than boring.... definitely the low point in my meal and a total waste of time and gut space . The Good....the Paradise burger was a good burger, not great , but good. The melted GRILLED cheese actually kicked this burger up more than a few notches but we thought the burger lacked seasoning. Now for the BALL OUT OF THE PARK.... those JUMBO coconut shrimp!!! Holy Cow. We've ordered coconut shrimp more than a few times in most of our tropical travels ... These are definately some of the best, if not THE BEST . Not overly breaded, wonderfully toasted coconutty and perfectly cooked. Did I say JUMBO..."EL Jefes". for sure. The lemonades were excellent, and the service was good. Pricing was reasonable. Handicap accomodations at the tables Sports TV is located inside and out. Vibes were marina casual and chilled. Recommendations.....Order the Coconut Shrimp and save room for another order of the same We'll be back Round 2---And back we are ....1 Week later for JUST the JUMBO coconut shrimp. Excellent!!!!! And Pedro, the server was a kick .

Eddies Place seemed to be highly recommended so we chose to meet friends there for dinner. Two of us ordered the ‘signature Coconut Shrimp’. Sadly, the plates arrived extremely overcooked to the point of being inedible and one plate did not have the accompanying sauces. The waiter never asked how our meals were and when advised how overcooked it was he mumbled he would make an adjustment, that never happened.

Outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. Very popular and busy. Had to wait for a table. Awesome food. Best margarita I've had for many years. Good prices.

The food was great, a mix of American food done well and Mexican food. Really high quality and delicious! The drinks were really well made also! The wait staff was very pleasant and helpful and the location was amazingly convenient, with nice outdoor seating as well as some indoor for colder, rainier days. The prices were really good for a resort area. I can't recommend this place high enough! We went every day for at least 1 meal once we discovered it.

We came over from Puerto Vallarta to explore a little bit of this side of the bay. Stopped in to Eddie's place for breakfast. The staff was really friendly and there is indoor and outdoor seating. It's right by the marina but no real view of the beach or anything (if you're looking for that) the food was good. I had the breakfast burrito and my wife had the scramble with chicken. The country potatoes weren't what you'd expect (more stewed than pan fried) but still taste good. Over all it was a great spot to grab a bite before walking between the buildings to the beach

Great food, excellent service, wonderful friendly atmosphere. And you can watch a hockey game as you eat. Best chicken parm I ever had. The bacon wrapped shrimp are addictive. Loved the chef salad. I don't think you would be disappointed with anything you ordered. Haven't been here for 2 years but plan to go this week. Breakfast is always busy.

This was my second visit to Eddie's and we had Ricardo as our waiter. He was absolutely fantastic. We had a large group. He took everyone's orders, answered all our questions, was able to joke around with us, and was accurate when delivering our food. The food was very good. Everyone in our party really enjoyed what they got. There was live music while we were there as well which was lovely. Overall I highly recommend eating here. We will continue to go here when we visit again.

What an experience! I cannot say enough about the staff, the attention to detail, and the food. From start to finish the experience at Tuna Blanca was exceptional. We had the tasting menu and cocktails. The staff was engaging and caring. The cocktails were delicious. And each course of food was so well presented and every bite was amazing. My favorite was the pork belly taco. Highly recommend. We will be back on our next visit.

We tried the Tasters menu option. Every dish was amazing. The service was awesome. Friendly staff. Awesome views to enjoy your meal.

This is a great escape if you’re wanting to dine “off property” while staying at one of the Punta Mita resorts without giving up attentive service or food quality. If the weather permits, sit beachside for open skies, fresh air, and stunning views of the water. There’s a wandering violinist playing requests. You’ll have two servers assigned to your table - even a table for two. Food is expertly prepared and presented. Well curated wine list but I wish there were more selections from Mexico.

Alex and the entire staff made this evening one to remember. Truly, an exceptional journey from beginning to end. The drinks, amazing. Views, stunning. Food, delightful. The tuna and taco appetizers are musts. Freshness meets complexity - they were the best tacos we had while in Punta Mita and the tuna melted liked it was just caught. The short rib was truly spectacular in presentation and dish compliments. Pistachio crusted lamb chops gave us everything we could have hoped for and more. Alex and our wait staff also ensured we were celebrated from beginning to end, including our dessert of choice presented in a manner unlike what we have ever experienced. Chef truly outdid themselves. We will be coming back to Punta Mita - and Tuna Blanca is one of the reasons.

Tuna Blanco took their fine dining experience to the stratosphere! From the moment we walked up to their entrance until we finished our dinner, we were cared for with heart and soul. Everyone went out of their way to make myself, my husband and our dog welcome. Chef Ramon and the other lovely people in the kitchen executed on each dish we ordered with exceptional artistry. I ordered The Unforgettable - a mezcal hibiscus reduction drink that was just delicious. Balanced, not too sweet, a little chili spice on the rim, and omg - the dried pineapple garnish was soooo tasty. I’ve always been told I make the best beets…but I have to say, TB’s charcoaled beet dish was a notch above. The frothy sauce on top and mint garnish…texture and caramelized sugar - on point. The Tuna Tostada. This is a somewhat common menu item but there was nothing common about TB’s version. Complex flavors delicately woven into the thinly sliced melt in your mouth tuna on top of a tasty corn crisp. 10/10 recommend! Based on a recommendation from our waiter, we opted for the shrimp that is mezcal fueled flame prepared at the table. Our waiter performed the fire show without being even slightly cheesy and presented the dish impeccably. There are so many other points to bring in to this review but some secrets must be left to be experienced for yourself. (Hint - view the videos with the volume up.) Needless to say, for all my travels and dining experiences, Tuna Blanco rates in my top five on all counts - food, service, atmosphere, ambiance.

Looking for a slice of culinary heaven with a side of sand between your toes? Look no further than Tuna Blanca in Punta Mita. This gem of a restaurant is like a hidden treasure chest, except instead of gold, it's filled with tantalizing dishes that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. First off, let's talk ambiance. Picture this: your feet buried in the soft sand, a gentle breeze caressing your face, and a view of the Bay of Banderas so stunning it could make a sunset jealous. Yeah, it's that good. Now, onto the main event: the food. We dove headfirst into the five-course culinary menu, and boy, were we in for a treat. Each dish was like a work of art on a plate, bursting with flavor and creativity. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we decided to go all-in with the wine pairing. Let's just say, we were on cloud wine. Sure, Tuna Blanca might be a bit on the pricey side, but trust me when I say it's worth every penny. After all, where else can you celebrate life's milestones in such style? And let's not forget about the dynamic duo of Gabriel and Alejandro, who made sure our dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. They were like culinary ninjas, always one step ahead and oh-so-attentive. So, if you're looking to elevate your dining game and create memories that'll last a lifetime, do yourself a favor and book a table at Tuna Blanca. Your taste buds will thank you, and you might just find yourself planning your next celebration before you've even finished dessert. Cheers to good food, good company, and good vibes! Btw, here's an interesting fact about Thierry Blouet who's the mastermind behind each dishes : Did you know that he's not just a renowned chef, but also a talented artist? Alongside his culinary expertise, Blouet is known for his passion for painting. He often incorporates elements of art into his dishes, creating visually stunning presentations that are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate. It's like dining at a gallery where every plate is a masterpiece! Have a look at our dessert plate and you'll understand what I mean 😏 😜

My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner on the beach here. The enthusiasm and Professionalism of the staff complemented our tasting menu. a few slight misses on some of the dishes like the tenderloin was not a very good cut of beef to start with and cooked medium. I didn’t have the heart to tell our server that It was overdone even though he asked me to cut it to check. But overall, an excellent meal and a great place for a special occasion. Lots of tables celebrating birthdays. Tomato and mozzarella salad suffered from underripe tomatoes and dry mozzarella. In general, the purely mexican plates were quite good, while the American-oriented dishes were just ok. But I get that they are catering to mostly American tourists.

Probably the best restaurant in Punta Mita and Puerto Vallarta

Excellent food, scrumptious and elegant. Beautiful location and friendly service. A bit crowded and waiters serve the entire location so refills water and beverages were a bit slow we had to get others to assist.

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__

Great service beautiful beachfront location with indoor dining area. Definitely recommend outside for a better view of the ocean. Many options in the menu with local ingredients and creative plating. The menu was throughly explained by our waiters David and Andres. The only downside is the price which I felt was a little too much for some plates... but then again you're in a fine dining restaurant and in Punta Mita...

Smack dab on the beachside - a fairly touristy spot with nice options for food (a little pricey but it IS right on the beach), and the usual selection of beers and cocktails. Tried a super strong and delicious margaritas with the avocado with prawns. Both fit the beach vibe perfectly. Also ordered nachos to go for our friends who devoured them after an ocean dip. Tons of toppings and jalapeños.

This is a really great spot for lunch that we found. Nice menu. Really like the hamburgers and drinks. Prices are VERY reasonable. Must check this place out.

Was staying at Flamingos and decided to walk down the beach to Karen’s for lunch after reading the great reviews. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Had drinks, salads and the vegan bowl and everything was excellent. We’ll make another trip down there before we leave.

We had heard great things about this place, so had to check it out. Food and service were great! It's a little more upscale as far as food and maybe not so much a traditional place. Kind of Italian/Mediterranean/Mexican fusion? My only complaint is the drinks- absolutely terrible. They seemed very watered down and just no flavor at all. Huge disappointment

A nice place A good food A nice atmosphere Dogs allowed I had breakfasts and a brunch. For those who want to spend their monies wisely there are places close by you only need to look around😉😄

As a vegan I never have high expectations of a non vegan restaurant that has a vegan bowl on their menu. Well I was more than pleasantly surprised! My husband and I both agreed, it was the best vegan bowl we have ever eaten! First of all, it looked beautiful and the combination of ingredients and flavours were wonderful. Needless to say we ate every single bite and will be back for more! Over and above that, we sat outside practically on the beach - a beautiful view to complement a beautiful meal!

Oh my goodness!!!!!! Fresh fresh fresh seafood and some very unusual and authentic food offerings. This was MORE than we could eat. I’ll get the relleno next time for sure. The location is ideal, can’t go wrong either inside or beach seating. I love this restaurant. The employees seemed truly proud and happy to be there. I can only assume it’s because the food is so, so, so good and wow! What a beautiful location Gracias, Karen and thank you Mauricio for recommending. The beach is pristine and area totally laid back. I’m so pleased I dined here.

Delicious food in a very cool location right on the beach! Bucerias is such a cool and vibrant town, and we were so happy to have lunch here. The guacamole and fish tacos were both amazing! The food took a little while to come out, but that is just because they are busy and so popular.

Very nice place right on the beach, food was great. The service was also very good. A must to grab a snack or drink to get out of the sun!

Karen's place has been a staple of the Bucerias area for 25 years. It is a beach restaurant and bar that is definitely one of the bright spots of cuisine in the area with amazing views of the ocean and the sunsets. We have been there for breakfast, dinner, and sometimes just to have a drink and to take in the scenery. That all being said this place is expensive for the area but it is worth it with the level of food quality and the service provided. English and Spanish speaking. The owner (Karen) is usually on location and greats her guest with a smile and engaging conversation. If you are looking for a great or romantic evening dinner on the beach this is one of the main places to go in Bucerias.

We had Christmas dinner this year with family and friends, authentic turkey breast, mashed potato and sweet potato with vegetable and dessert. Service was a little short staffed, but we had nice time talking and enjoying atmosphere. They also put a lot of people for one sitting. Recommend booking weeks in advance.

We had a wonderful dinner here with 6. Amazing sea side table, the service was top notch and food absolutely perfect. We come to Bucerías a lot but first time here - will Be back for sure. Great place for gluten free options. We heard from others that when Karen is here the food is at its best. Well, she greeted and sat us, so we felt assured it would be great and it didn’t disappoint. Great time.

Excellent meal, excellent service and the view?? Wow. This place is fabulous. Had the Riviera chicken. Delicious. I will.come back here again before I leave. Edit: came back and had the filet Mignon. Green beans are delicious, mashed potatoes had a wonderful texture and the steak was not only perfectly cooked but was delicious. Once again, impressed. And once again, what a view. My favorite restaurant in Bucerias for the view alone. But the food is good too. Their steak knives are horrible lol. I could have cut it with a butter knife in the same time. That complaint aside, when I move here it will be a regular stop for me. Edit again, Gail and I keep comping back here. Always a good place

Brunch was excellent! I had the Capitán omelet. It had delicious shrimp, spinach, and a parsley cream sauce. The mimosas were cold and tasty. I definitely plan to return and return and return!

Great place to sit at a table on the beach and enjoy some delicious food and drinks. We had mojitos and I had a margarita and he had a Mexican sunset. We shared coconut shrimp and guacamole. Service was excellent!

A local fixture for quite a long time, Karen's was our "go-to" place on our trip to Bucerías. Affordable and family friendly, but with a super-relaxed, clean, and moderately upscale ambiance. TONS of options including locally-caught fish, one of the best salads we've had (their mango dressing is a can't-miss), and an assortment of vegetarian/vegan dishes. Our only regret is that we didn't try it for breakfast -- we will for sure be back next time! Only recommendation would be to clarify when the restaurant is cash only (granted, I certainly could've missed a posting somewhere). We were allowed to pay with a credit card at dinner on Monday night, but it was cash only on two other occasions at lunch.

Clean and tidy spot. The food is good - especially the fish tacos. The service is very slow and inattentive. Servers seemed angry I had to ask them three times for the same thing.

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner on the beachfront at Mina & it was THE BEST DECISION!!! The food/drink, atmosphere & service was 10/10. We worked with Ana when preparing the contract & menu. She listened to all my concerns regarding service, dietary restrictions, overall experience & went above and beyond. There was even some live music that came by during dinner service that was a beautiful touch. We were thrilled with our experience here. THANK YOU THANK YOU! If you are looking for a place to host a small and traditional dinner, you can't go wrong with Mina.

One of the best restaurants in Punta Mita! Came here twice, for lunch and for dinner. The food is delicious, the staff is very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend to try their guacamole and salsa, they make it in front of you! Such a cool experience.

Atmosphere was amazing, the view is super beautiful and the food was great. We were a little disappointed that they ran out of tamales and the red snapper, but what we did get was worth it! Awesome service and vibe. It is July and we had dinner around 8 PM and it was HOT. They have fans but it doesn’t hit everyone obviously. Guacamole was made table side and it was fabulous. Tortilla soup was good as well. Compliments from the chef were tuna on potato crisp before dinner and a guava ice cream/sorbet after dinner. Both were great! I had the catch of the day cooked the arriero style. It was SO GOOD. Chicken enchiladas are the best that my aunt has ever had and that’s hard to do coming from Texas. And the margaritas were pretty good. Will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic!!! Definitely come here if you are in Punta Mita. Incredible food, fresh fish each day, and they make the most amazing fresh salsa table side. The view is also gorgeous. We actually came twice in 3 days which says a lot. Highly recommend.

Lovely place to have a family dinner! We were seated in an “indoor” table but it was open and had amazing views of the ocean!! I had a tequila tamarindo margarita which was really good do recommend! And I also recommend the pulpo ceviche I loved it!!!

Absolutely delightful! We loved every course, and the wine list was robust. Gustavo is a wonderful host and his staff was polite and helpful. Highly recommend adding Mina to your restaurant list when in Punta de Mira!

We had such a perfect dinner here on our first night in Punta Mita. The ambiance is lovely, food was fantastic (we got the fish of the day, tuna and sea bass), and the service was so great (our waiter, Margarito was wonderful!). Highly recommend a night out here at sunset time if you’re staying in the area!

Our waiter Diego was great! The food was delicious, we had the lobster special and coconut shrimp, the guacamole and salsa were very salty, but everything else was good. It's a beautiful restaurant, and the music was appropriate and at the perfect level, so one can still have a conversation. I would recommend and plan to return. Cons: No chairs/umbrella on the beach. There isn't much of a beach area by this restaurant.

I never give 5 stars because I believe that there's always room for improvement, but this place was amazing Right on the beach ⛱️ at 🌇 and we had four guitars 🎸 and a singer that came to our table 😀 that put it over the top. Well be back on our next vacation

Great food and super service. Keep in mind you will be paying inflated tourist prices for everything and hounded consistently by sales people of all ages to purchase souvenirs.

Walked here from Flamingos area while waiting for room to be ready. Stopped on a whim. Food was fabulous! We both had fajitas - a chicken and shrimp. Both had great taste. Right near the market with tons of shopping. We sat at beach table and were approached by people selling stuff constantly but they weren’t too pushy or disruptive. Would definitely return.

Great seafood and authentic Mexican food. Big tasty drinks. Prices for food and drinks are not going to break your wallet. Ocean view while you relax and eat. Shopping vendors next to it, with just about anything you need to buy for you or friends.

Beachside seafood just off the centro of Bucerias. Went to try the highly recommended mixed seafood salad. It didn't disappoint - it was the perfect flavour for a hot day. The green salsa was spicy, the red not so much.

Excellent customer service. Located in the Puerta Vallarta Flea Market yet cozy and welcoming. They were very attentive. Made selections and the food and drinks were delicious.

This place is amazing. The table we were sitting at was right on the beach next to the ocean. They made margaritas at the table which was awesome. The seafood salad was a huge plate of seafood and a wide variety. The guacamole was amazing and so was the seafood siveche. The pico was delicious and the salsa with the chips had a nice kick to it. The fajita plate was gigantic which two people could easily share. Seafood soup was delicious and it was all fresh seafood honestly so good. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it also was good. The steak was tender. The staff was very kind as well. It is a little more pricey but it was beyond worth it. They have so much seafood options to pick from. I recommend this place.

We had fried fish and special combo. The food was so good and reasonable price. We sat at the beach and it was lovely. The service was kind a slow. It took almost an hour for the food and at least 15' for a beer. We came at the prime time for dinner around 7pm. I would recommend this place.

The food was good as was the service. The lobster tail was nice and large but they brought the veggies instead of the sub-salad that was ordered. We also had the shrimp plate 4-ways and they were cooked really well. Our server was great. The downside here is that the vendors are at your table nonstop including small children. Beware, as the seating is outside that smoking happens at nearby tables. This is probably great for lunch or a family gathering but not couples looking for relaxation.

Delicious food! I ordered the pescado frito (fried fish) which was delicious and fresh. The aguachiles & ceviche were also amazing👌🏽 the portions are generous & there are options for people who don't eat seafood & for kids.

OMG, seafood for me doesn't get better than this! The pics don't even capture the wonderful seafood that The Fat Boy has. And, it was all cooked to absolute perfection. right next to the beautiful ocean, all this food came from. I have never had lobster as delicious as what we ate that night.

Definitely recommend!!! We had fried fish, oysters and shrimp ceviche that were so fresh and delicious. Staff were amazing and attentive
