La Tuna BCS
About This Spot
La Tuna BCS is where the rhythm of the Baja coast gently slows down, inviting visitors into a laid-back sanctuary just steps from the ocean. Nestled on C. Ramundo Aviles in El Teso, this bar and grill captures a relaxed, beachside spirit that feels part local clubhouse, part welcoming retreat. As you arrive, the salty ocean breeze mingles with the warm sun and the murmur of friendly conversation, setting a tone that’s both unhurried and alive with quiet energy.
Here, the atmosphere celebrates simplicity and connection — whether you’re perched on a patio chair watching the waves roll in or sinking into a comfy spot on a vibrant puff by the sand. The pace is easy, with moments made to linger over thoughtfully crafted flavors and drinks that echo the local coast. It's a haven to watch a sunset deepen while savoring the fresh, bright notes of tuna sashimi or a perfectly balanced mezcal sunrise. Tacos — of shrimp, fish, skirt steak, or ahi — arrive fresh and satisfying, paired effortlessly with guacamole that feels homemade and generous, inviting shared bites and smiles.
The drinks menu reflects the place’s easygoing vibe, with classic cerveza flowing alongside cocktails that echo the ocean’s colors — like the Sunset Gin or the lively Taco Turquesa, a reminder that every sip is part of the story unfolding between sky and sea. The staff’s casual attentiveness means that while the pace remains unhurried, every visit feels quietly cared for, as if you’ve stepped into a gathering spot for old friends and new neighbors alike.
What makes La Tuna more than just a coastal bar and grill is the way it carries a sense of place — a vibrant yet mellow slice of Baja California Sur that invites you to breathe in ocean views, savor fresh flavors, and simply be present. It’s a spot for lingering afternoons that ease naturally into evenings, where the tide’s whisper accompanies each bite, drink, and laugh shared under open skies.

Best spot to have a coffee and enjoy the view while chilling on a puff

Right on the beach for before, mid, or after kiting! The location is fantastic, you can walk right up, grab a table, and drink in the views, food, and drinks. Food is pretty decent as far as Baja California de Sur (BCS) food goes, and the drinks are good! Service is head-scratchingly slow, but pleasant. Not sure if it’s supposed to be laid back vibes, but would like a balance of seeing the server walk by or filling a drink order within 15 minutes.

Excellent food, great service, and an unforgettable experience! I spent a lovely afternoon and evening at La Tuna — the atmosphere is simply incredible. It has everything you could ask for: delicious food, good vibes, great drinks, and that breathtaking ocean view. I’d definitely come back!

This bar and restaurant is really darling! They have a happy hour with pretty decent Margaritas! A few gluten/dairy free options. A variety of cute spots to sit -on the patio or on the beach! Such a fun ambiance.. I absolutely love this spot!

Absolutely delightful locally owned Mexican bistro right on the beach! The staff is incredibly accommodating. The food is outstanding. Everyone enjoyed these tasty bites! Highly recommend the skirt steak tacos, shrimp tacos, ahi tacos, ahi burger with wedge fries, and especially their incredible guacamole and homemade chips! Not to be missed!

Breezy open air gazebo restaurant we stopped at after arriving. There was traffic we did not want to sit in. Hostess seated us immediately. Before I even know it, we are both drinking ice cold beer, and having some of the most original sashimi platters we have ever tried. Great service, way better than sitting in traffic. Will go again when we leave.

Perfect beachbar/restaurant. Open sandy space filled with low chairs and tables and poaches. Staff is friendly. Menu can be English or Spanish. We tried the El Sargento curricanes, a must, taco jaiba, taco dorado de machaca and the spicy shrimp tacos. All were excellent. Would strongly recommend eating at this place.
