Yes, I have. In Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato. It tastes like tuna (sorry, no compares to another taste). It is good, but not enough. It's better "queso de tuna" (tuna cheese), or the fresh tuna fruit.
The problem is the translation:
"Tuna" in english is "atún" in spanish, the sea fish.
"Tuna" in spanish is nopal's fruit, a cactus fruit. It is very sweet and there are several kinds.
You may be thinking an ice cream that tastes like fish; but "tuna" is a very sweet fruit wich grows in high altitude arid zones in central Mexico. It could be compared to kiwi fruit (a little).

What you are most likely to find is "nieve de tuna." In English that is prickly pear sherbet. If you have ever eaten a prickly pear you have a good idea of what the sherbet tastes like. Some "neverias" put too much sugar in their product. Mexicans like lots of sugar.
Now in case you actually mean tuna , the fish, which is called "atún" in Spanish---there IS a place in mexico City that makes ice creams and sherbets with avocado, onion, oysters and other such odd ingredients and it is possible that they make a tuna sherbet.

Like bagalood and gringa said, the "tuna" is not a fish but a fruit, which to my mind tastes a bit like watermelon. With all the crazy ice cream flavors you can find in Mexico (tequila, queso, aguacate/avacado, etc.), I wouldn't be surprised if you could find tuna-fish flavored ice cream (or "helado de atun").

Eww... My best guess would be tuna mixed with ice cream. What they probably do is take a can of tuna, put it in a blender with ice cream then they harden it again OR they take the tuna, and mix it into the ice cream ;). Haha, good luck with that(= Tell me how it goes!

No I haven't, but I would imagine a clue to the answer would be in the question. Then it's down to personal preference, I really don't think I would like Tuna flavoured ice-cream.

I believe a friend told me "tuna" in spanish refers to a fruit in Mexico,, therefore tuna icecream is not refering to fish
