16 Years of Nicksan: A Story Still Being Savored

We are truly grateful to celebrate a milestone that only a few restaurants have the privilege of reaching. Nicksan, part of Fonsini Restaurant Group, has been embraced by its guests with such warmth and loyalty that today, we proudly mark 16 remarkable years.

These years have been filled with conversations, shared moments, evolving ideas, and unforgettable dishes. Every visit and every plate has helped shape what Nicksan is today, a place where community and cuisine come together in perfect harmony.

A Story Rooted in Tradition: The History of Nicksan Nuevo Vallarta

Nicksan’s journey began in Los Cabos, where its unique concept was first introduced. Founded by visionaries, one of whom was of Japanese origin, the brand brought together authentic techniques and a deep respect for culinary tradition.

When Nicksan arrived in Nuevo Vallarta, its founders personally shared their knowledge, techniques, and secrets, ensuring that the restaurant would carry a true Japanese soul, now living and thriving in Banderas Bay.

Since then, the concept has remained faithful to its roots while continuously evolving, embracing innovation year after year without ever losing its essence.

A Special Celebration for the 16th Anniversary

To commemorate this year’s anniversary on March 27th, 2026, we have prepared a truly special experience. Guests are invited to enjoy an exclusive afternoon featuring a vertical tuna ronqueo demonstration, an innovative twist on a traditional technique that will be showcased for the first time not only at the restaurant, but across Banderas Bay.

Guiding this unique experience will be Chef Ángel Carbajal, visiting from Nicksan Los Cabos, who will lead the demonstration and share his expertise throughout the event.

We Look Forward to Celebrating with You

The experience sold out a week before the event, and we are excited to share this moment with all our guests.

Here’s to many more years of flavor, connection, and shared stories!
