Toscana Mía is our go-to restaurant for special events. Yesterday was a landmark birthday for me and it was wonderful to be able to book a table for an intimate celebratory dinner.

This restaurant would survive even a more competitive dining scene. It’s more expensive than other restaurants in the area, but the food and drinks support the higher prices.

About the restaurant

More than a restaurant, Nicksan is a culinary experience of the highest level. In its open kitchen, the ingredients of two ancestral cultures located on opposite sides of the world are fused.

Its owners Masayuki Niikura and Ángel Carbajal, originally from Japan and Mexico respectively, opened the first Nicksan restaurant in Los Cabos in 1994, creating amazing congruencies between the flavors of both countries.

Some of the signature dishes that you can taste at our fabulous Residences Plaza location in Nuevo Vallarta are the spicy tuna cake, the salmon skin cone, the Shiromi Coriander and Maguro Lemon sushi rolls, the cucumber salad with wakame seaweed and crab, the gorgonzola shrimp and the serranito beef fillet.

Within our new cocktail and sake menu you will find unique creations, perfect to match your lunch, dinner or just to toast with friends in an environment full of elegance and flavor. Come and try the best of two worlds!

Super happy with our evening with Quinto! We told them it was our anniversary and requested a table with a view. We got a table with a great view and they gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. One of us is celiac and they were most accommodating. The food was delicious, the service was great and we loved the ambiance.
