New Dinner Menu Concept at Blanca Blue

Blanca Blue Restaurant at Garza Blanca in Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos, has recently introduced a new dinner menu concept. We are very excited to share with members that this new menu is brimming with chef artistry and strikes a balance of flavor, innovation, and tradition. It is a menu with a unique concept featuring six distinct categories including: Appetizers, Signature Soups, Pre-Hispanic Traditions, Market Food, Grandmother’s Traditions and Specialties.

The dishes are typically Mexican with some American and international favorites and also a fusion of different cuisines such as duck with mole sauce. The chefs were allowed to get creative with the menu and it was a collaboration between all our chefs. They came up with the concept of dividing the menu into different categories based on feedback from our guests. The result is a truly sensational menu that has every option to satisfy your hunger depending what you are in the mood for.

If you feel like tasting market food, there is a category specifically for that, so rather than venturing out of the resort you can try a taste of Mexican street food right in the comfort of Blanca Blue’s air-conditioned restaurant or you can opt to sit outside on the terrace with the refreshing ocean breeze, and stunning views of Los Arcos and the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean. If you’re in need of some comfort food, the kind you would find at a traditional grandmother’s house, the chefs have invented some delicious creations based on their experiences visiting their grandmas that will warm your soul and delight your palate. If you want to travel back in time, the pre-Hispanic section showcases the traditions and flavors of the Aztecs. As well, we have our Specialty section with short ribs, salmon, and other mouthwatering creations.

We have selected our favorite dishes from each category, so the next time you visit Blanca Blue, you will know exactly what to order!

Appetizers

From the Appetizer section, we recommend the Mexican Delight. This is a dish with Mexican ingredients including spicy mushrooms, fried cheese, paddle cactus, and grilled zucchini. The plate is dotted with a tasty peanut dip. The fried cheese and grilled zucchini are soft, yet perfectly crunchy. The spicy mushrooms have an indescribably delicious flavor. The chef recommends trying each ingredient individually to allow each one to tickle your tastebuds and then to combine all ingredients together for a magnificent taste explosion.

Signature Soups

Our Signature Soups are difficult to choose between because all the options are so tasty! Opting for Tortilla Soup while visiting Mexico, is always a good choice. For something different, we recommend the Roasted Cream of Corn Soup with goat’s cheese, ravioli, Huitlacoche, and Epazote. Corn is a staple ingredient in Mexican cuisine dating back to the Aztecs. The corn is roasted until almost burnt giving it a unique flavor. It’s a simple, wholesome soup that is perfect for wetting your appetite.

Prehispanic Traditions

Sample the exquisite food artistry deriving from pre-Hispanic traditions. For something unique, try the Fried Squash Blossoms. They are filled with Oaxaca cheese, and served on a handmade tortilla topped with tomato sauce. This dish seems like a taco, yet it transforms into a quesadilla once in your mouth. Another excellent choice is the Chargrilled Avocado with tomato sauce, lemon, adobo seeds and peanuts. A different experience to enjoy avocados with 3 styles involved in its preparation including charred, marinated, and smashed. You will love the amazing flavor.

Market Food

Try our stellar gourmet market food. While selecting from these great options is a tough choice, you should definitely try the Seasonal Mushroom Sope, a popular dish found in Mexican food markets. The dish consists of refried beans, brussels sprouts, panela cheese and amaranth. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, this dish is simple, yet exquisite. For a classic choice, Tacos al Pastor are the most popular kind of tacos in Mexico, topped with onion, coriander, lime, and salsa.

Grandmother’s Traditions

The Pork and Tomatillo Stew is hands down the best choice. The dish comes from Michoacán state and is traditionally cooked in a copper pot. The pork belly is slow cooked for 12 hours at 80 degrees. The pork belly is a combination of fat and meat, which make it incredibly tender. This hearty dish is food for the soul.

Specialties

Delight in the chefs’ gastronomic wizardry with the Duck Crackling and Mole specialty dish. The duck is prepared like carnitas (the Mexican version of pulled pork). It is slow cooked resulting in super tender and juicy meat. Mole is a traditional spicy Mexican sauce usually prepared with 5 different types of dried chilies. To tone down on the spice, our chefs used more spices than chilies to make the dish less spicy, while still maintaining the strong mole flavor. Served with potato chips, carrots, and plantain tortillas.

For this dish, it is recommended to try everything separate and then everything together to allow the flavors to blend and delight in a multisensory dining experience.

Desserts

Finally, we get to the best part, desserts! Again, so many great options! But look no further than the BUÑUELO FRITTER, a dessert of Spanish origin that became popular in Mexico during the Easter holidays. The fritter is made of wheat cracker and topped with white chocolate ice-cream and red berries.

When you travel to different regions, trying the cuisine is a great step to learning about the culture. The building block of Mexican cuisine is its diversity. On your next visit to Blanca Blue either in Puerto Vallarta or Los Cabos, you will have plenty of diverse menu options bursting with flavor to look forward to!
