You may be assured that only the freshest foods are found in dishes at Tuna Blanca, and diners can always expect to indulge themselves with a wonderful selection of fish that has been plucked right out of the Pacific Ocean or raised at local fisheries. Both in-season produce and organic products are also regularly highlighted, and these are locally obtained from farmers in Punta Mita and the surrounding area.
