Very good sushi in Cabo San Lucas. My only complaint was that the prices were very high. I know that Sushi can be expensive, but this was too high for a local fishing town. But otherwise, the food was very good. I recommend them.
Nick-San Cabo San LucasResponded on July 29, 2026
Natalia, thank you for sharing your experience and for recommending Nicksan. We're pleased to know you enjoyed our sushi and appreciate your honest comments regarding pricing. Our commitment is to offer the finest ingredients and a dining experience that reflects their quality. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit to Cabo San Lucas.

FAQs

Yes, Nick-San Cabo San Lucas is often chosen for special evenings: several guests celebrated anniversaries there and staff surprised couples with a commemorative dessert.

Guests commonly advise to 'come hungry', groups often order multiple dishes (one party had seven dishes for four) and report leaving satisfied, making the menu easy to share.

Nick‑San feels warm and modern, with the sushi bar and omakase service a standout, guests praise a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and a music playlist kept at a comfortable level.

For a more relaxed, unhurried visit come late in service; for the signature experience, sit at the sushi bar and enjoy the omakase prepared by the chefs.
