Q

How was it started?

A

In 1994 Angel Carbajal started Nick-­San in Cabo San Lucas and has since built a reputation for its emphasis on seasonal, quality ingredients and presentation. He marries Japanese cuisine with flavorful spicy ingredients.
“Exceeding your expectations” is the motto they follow at Nick-San. Angel has brought that same quality of food and enthusiasm to Mastro’s with Sushi.
