Vips, Mexican restaurant in Azcapotzalco, Mexico.
Vips is a Mexican restaurant in the Azcapotzalco neighborhood of Mexico City, part of a nationwide chain. The menu covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a mix of local Mexican dishes and international options served in a casual, no-frills setting.
The chain was founded in 1964 by the Arango brothers, with the first location opening in the Lomas de Sotelo neighborhood of Mexico City. From that single spot, the concept gradually grew into one of the most recognized restaurant chains in the country.
Vips is known in Mexico as a casual coffee-shop-style restaurant where families and workers stop throughout the day for a quick meal or a coffee. The menu mixes Mexican staples with international dishes, reflecting the everyday eating habits of a busy urban neighborhood.
The restaurant is open throughout the week and accepts walk-in customers at any time of day, so no reservation is needed. Those who prefer not to eat on-site can order their food to take away.
Although the chain started in Mexico, it opened locations in Spain as early as 1969, driven by the Arango family's ties to that country. This made it one of the first Mexican restaurant chains to expand outside the Americas.
