Azcapotzalco's 67-year-old traditional Mexican institution-Gerardo Vázquez Lugo's edible history lesson. Family-run since 1957, Nicos is Chef Gerardo Vázquez Lugo's three-generation tribute to traditional Mexican cooking. The menu reads like a regional encyclopedia-sopa seca de natas, tortilla soup with aged cheeses, chiles en nogada in season, slow-cooked mole, handmade tortillas. Quiet Azcapotzalco setting, white tablecloths, serious wine list, the restaurant that taught generations of Mexican chefs. Nicos is listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide, widely regarded as a training ground for generations of Mexico City chefs under Gerardo Vázquez Lugo, who has carried on his parents' 1957 Azcapotzalco kitchen.
