Nick-San (Cabo San Lucas)
Fusion restaurants—and food trucks—abound. They’re everywhere. But very few succeed at the level of Nick-San, which marries Japanese cuisine with Mexican ingredients. The brainchild of Angel Carbajal and Masayuki Niikura, Nick-San debuted in Cabo San Lucas in 1994 and has since built a reputation for its emphasis on seasonal, quality ingredients and presentation. Start with a green salad topped with sesame dressing, followed by a selection of sashimi or sushi that you can watch being made. Sip warm sake or Japanese beer. Nick-San offers far more than good food: a wonderful stylish environ in which to dine with friends. The menu combines typical Japanese fare with Mexican ingredients such as chiles, tropical fruits, spices, and herbs, creating an innovated selection of choices.
