Open since 1957, Nicos is a pilgrimage destination for traditional Mexican cuisine — chef Gerardo Vázquez Lugo has spent decades preserving and researching recipes from across Mexico's regions. The mole de olla, chiles en nogada (in season), and bacalao a la vizcaína are benchmarks of their kind. It's far from the tourist trail in Azcapotzalco, which is precisely the point; take a taxi and plan for a long, leisurely lunch.
