The 14 Best Restaurants In Cabo San Lucas & San Jose Del Cabo - Cabo - The Infatuation

"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."

We love coming to Niksan every time we come to Cabo. This past time, Brito was our server and took care of us with amazing recommendations. This week we are going twice, the food quality and service is outstanding. As a sushi snob from California I can attest this is amazing, try the tuna tostadas & sushi serranito.

Great sushi at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and attentive, sushi was very fresh and delicious. Easy access from the marina makes it a great spot to stop in while out exploring.

Unbelievably good! Must try in Cabo! Great service and even better food! Also suprised us for our honeymoon with a small tiramisu with Sparklers. Great cocktails. Martini Espresso, Corona.

Probably the best dinner in Cabo. They took great care of our 10 couple dinner party. Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Wish I had taken more pics.

Exceptional Service and Flavorful Surprises! Visited this gem of a sushi restaurant on December 9th during our trip to Cabo. We head down there 3-4 times a year, mixing in old favorites with a few new spots each time. This one absolutely stands out! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us some incredible recommendations that weren’t even on the menu. My wife, who’s a sushi fanatic, was thrilled with the rolls suggested to her—they were absolutely delicious! I’m not a sushi eater myself, but I decided to give it a try, and I ended up eating about six rolls! The flavors were so good, I couldn’t stop. The chicken teriyaki, shrimp, and veggie tempura were perfectly cooked, and the Hibiscus Mezcalita was the perfect refreshing drink to wash it all down. The quality of service and food was impressive enough that I’m already planning to return with my whole family this June. My son, who’s not into sushi at all, is going to give it a try. I keep telling him that this place will change his mind! Highly recommend this spot—whether you’re a sushi lover or not, you won’t be disappointed!

Been going for years and never disappoint on the service or quality of the food. We never eat sushi in Wisconsin only there at Nicksan's. This place is also near and dear our hearts with the great friendships we gave made over the years . Jorge is outstanding with his warm welcoming self and wait staff. This time we had Brito another outstanding service. Highly recommend this as a high priority to visit your stay in Cabo. Kevin Gates see you in February

If a single dish could justify booking a flight to Cabo, it would be the Hamachi at Nicksan. This plate didn’t just taste incredible, it stopped me in my tracks. The fish is impossibly fresh, sliced with the kind of precision that tells you someone in the kitchen cares deeply about their craft. The balance of citrus, heat, and delicate richness hits in slow waves, and before I knew it, I had two actual tears sliding down my face. It’s bright, clean, luxurious, and somehow comforting all at once. Every bite feels like someone tuned the flavors to the exact frequency of joy. Our waiter, Brito, know exactly what his was doing with his recommendations.

First dinner out in Cabo and was this ever top notch. Best sushi we’ve ever had and we’ve been to the best in Vancouver. The serving staff was amazing. Brito’s suggestions were particularly outstanding. 10/10!
