Vips, Mexican restaurant chain in Mexico City, Mexico
Vips is a casual dining restaurant chain serving traditional Mexican dishes alongside international cuisine across the country. The locations feature extensive menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout the day.
The chain started in 1964 when the Arango brothers opened their first location in Mexico City's Lomas de Sotelo neighborhood. It later grew across Mexico and became part of Alsea in 2014.
The chain blends American diner traditions with Mexican cooking, creating spaces where locals gather for meals throughout the day. These restaurants have become familiar meeting spots in Mexican neighborhoods since their early days.
The restaurants are wheelchair accessible and offer moderate pricing across different menu options. They operate during consistent daily hours.
The name came from the English acronym VIP (Very Important People), but customers began using it in the plural so often that an 's' was eventually added. This naming shift happened naturally through everyday customer language.
