"An underrated part about visiting Baja is trying the Japanese-Mexican food scene, and Nicksan is the place to do that. Don’t let its comparatively modest downtown exterior and bare-bones dining room fool you: Nicksan makes the best sushi in Cabo and has been a local favorite since it first opened in 1994. Order a spread of plates, like the minced tuna tostadas topped with slices of avocado and pickled red onion, and some yellowtail and black and white tuna sashimi." - Nili Blanck

"Few cuisines marry as well as Japanese and Mexican, a fusion that’s masterfully explored at Nick-San in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Founding chefs Ángel Carabajal and Masayuri Niikura blend centuries-old Japanese recipes (including but not limited to sushi) with locally sourced ingredients to create exceptional bursts of flavor and a menu that has inspired additional locations around Mexico . The black and white tuna sashimi and tuna tostada are two of the most popular dishes, especially when paired with Nick-San’s own label of wines and sake. The original location is in downtown Cabo San Lucas, near the marina. A second Nick-San, in the Shoppes at Palmilla at the southern border of San José del Cabo, is a slightly more elegant space (gilding the lily, you might say) and includes a champagne bar."
