Dinner at Himitsu at Secrets Los Cabos

For this dinner at Himitsu which is at Secrets Los Cabos, we didn't order off the menu.  We sat down and were told that courses would start arriving.  The first course was a miso soup. Savory broth with tofu.

Next course was the most spectacular sushi roll I have ever had.  Normally a sushi roll with have nori (seaweed wrap) for the structure of the roll.  In this case, tuna had been pounded very thinly and that served as the basis for the roll. Then inside the roll was more tuna in a spicy sauce.  Best sushi roll I have ever had.  Not sure how I would be able to order it again.

And dishes kept coming.  Next course was deep fried oysters.  There were in a light tempura batter.  They were so tender but still crispy.

They were served with two sauces, although they didn't need either.  One was a spicy, tomato based cocktail sauce.  The other was the sauce they use in a spicy tuna roll which tasted of mayo and siracha.

Next up was Caribbean Lobster Tail!!  Normally Caribbean lobster that I have had is tough and chewy.  Not here.  This was so tender and buttery.  I am not sure of the cooking method they used here but possibly some type of braising.  Again, served simply which let the lobster speak for itself.

The lobster was served with a pipette which contained a sauce which was both sweet and savory.  I tasted some rice wine vinegar.  It also has freeze dried olive oil which are the white crumbs that you see.  Both added subtle flavor notes to the lobster.

Seared tuna with brussel sprouts.  It has great flavor.  I would have liked it to be a bit more rare but to see this great piece of tuna before us was incredible.

The final dish was some succulent octopus.  I don't know why, but chefs in Mexico really know how to cook octopus.  I have had it many time in Mexico and it has been delicious.  I am never afraid to order it and have not been disappointed.

After the octopus, the server asked us if we needed more.  They were prepared to keep bringing out dishes.   Now, here was the equivalent of an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.  On one hand, I would love to see what other creative and delicious dishes they had.  On the other, we both were stuffed from all this succulent seafood.  To finish things off, they brought out a chocolate mousse.  It was coated in a crispy shell of chocolate with creamy mousse inside.   If you have had mexican hot chocolate, that is what it tasted like.  Sweet, but a little spicy from peppers.  I have had lots of great sushi at all inclusives.  If you go back an look at what I had at Unico in 2019 you will see what I thought then was some of the best.  This meal definitely had the best spicy tuna roll I have ever had.
