Nick-San In Cabo San Lucas

[Carlsbad]

Three of us had a blow-out lunch at Nick-San in Cabo San Lucas last month while in port from a cruise. Every dish was terrific. It can be expensive, but I thought it was well worth the cost. The grilled sea bass with mushroom sauce was outstanding. Many of the special dishes use chiles to lend a Mexican flair to sushi dishes. I found no need for the wasabi at all, and only used a tiny bit of soy with one or two dishes. The freshness of the fish was remarkable. In addition to Sake, they have a very interesting wine list that is well chosen to match the food. It's a very attractive restaurant, and the air conditioning was welcome on a very hot day.
