Whenever we visit Nick-San at its original downtown Cabo San Lucas location, we opt for the sushi bar; this time was no different. On this occasion, we started with Japanese beer and a tasty tuna tartar made with chives and horseradish; the freshness and tastiness of this tartar were amazing. We then proceeded to some classic Nick-San dishes—the kind we love and enjoy every time we’re here. Those include the must-have tuna tostadas, sashimi serranito, and Kushiage roll. We also had some of the brand-new creations from owners and chefs Angel Carbajal and Masayuki Niikura.Among the ones we tried were the Niikura sashimi (a fresh fish served with capers) and bubu arare; both are strong and well-balanced dishes. We continued with the truffle sashimi, the grilled salmon served with white rice perfumed to truffle, and to finish the famous avocado special roll, which is a delicate avocado roll stuffed with eel that is delicately minced to make it especially soft. It is at the same time salty and sweet, a perfect way to end the dinner. As on prior visits, we had our dinner accompanied by the red house wine, a French merlot that was just amazing with the selections of dishes. I highly recommend you visit Nick-San Cabo and let yourself be surprised by the new dishes on the menu; you won’t be disappointed.
