Nick-San Cabo San Lucas The original Nick-San is located in downtown Cabo San Lucas. Since opening in 1994, a lot has changed in terms of the space and décor. Here, you can enjoy a great Japanese lunch or dinner in a more family-friendly, relaxed ambience. Young people gravitate to this location because of its proximity to downtown Cabo’s bars and nightclubs, which are within a short walking distance. We began our 86 LOS CABOS MAGAZINE | FALL 2014 dinner by sitting at the sushi bar— you should try this at least once—and chef Edgar “Eddie” Carbajal attended to us right away. We didn’t even have to look at the menu, since he offered to prepare us a dinner designed around our favorite flavors. We started with the famous tuna tostada, a tasty rice tostada with fresh tuna, avocado, red onions, and a bit of spice. Later, we continued with a Salmon Yuzu sashimi, which is made with thin fresh salmon slices that are filled with crab and avocado and served on a yuzu sauce. It was to die for. As we continued our night, we tasted many other dishes. Among them were the Gorgonzola Shrimp, house-made gyozas, a lobster roll, and many other dishes that were suggested by the manager, Jorge “George” Carbajal. These were accompanied by Nick- San’s very own sauvignon blanc, which is produced in the Guadalupe Valley. To end the night, we had a surprise for dessert: The Propina Roll, as the chef calls this roll just for fun, is a tasteful avocado and eel roll. Ask for it on your next visit, and you will not be disappointed. Boulevard Marina L10–L2, Plaza de la Danza, Cabo San Lucas, (624) 143-2491, www.nick san.com. Daily 11:30 a.m.–10:30 p.m. (One hour free parking available at adjacent Wyndham resort.) Discover, MasterCard, Visa, and vouchers accepted. $$–$$$$ Nick-San Palmilla & Nick- San Garden You’ll find Nick-San Palmilla at the Shoppes at Palmilla, which is located on the Tourist Corridor in San José del Cabo. The recently remodeled location makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere—but with an excellent view of the Palmilla Bay and moonscapes. Compared to the original Cabo San Lucas location, Nick- San Palmilla has a terrace and a garden bar. Enjoy a long and relaxing lunch or dinner, with the advantage of having the same menu and specialties you could expect in Cabo San Lucas but in a more romantic and intimate scenario. That transitions nicely into a chic, casual, and cool soirée, with signature drinks and music at Nick-San Garden Lounge. This is the first champagne bar in Los Cabos; which reopens in November (5 p.m. till midnight). Here you can always enjoy great drinks created especially for you and made from sake and champagne. Its owners also propose you celebrate your especial events (birthdays, weddings, reunions with family or friends) in this beautiful place where you can enjoy the great signature dishes of Nick-San as well as the garden. We started our dinner with a champagne cocktail and then we let ourselves get Francisco Estrada The sashimi at Nick-San blends traditional Japanese techniques with Mexican flavors.
