Manchester diners set to journey into the heart of Mexico.
Six by Nico has announced its next exciting menu for the newly opened Manchester restaurant, which is based around the flavours of Mexican cuisine. This time, Simeone brings the vibrant, eclectic spirit of modern Mexico, with a contemporary twist on its much-loved traditional food and drink.
‘Mexico’ promises to transport diners from the hazy deserts of Tijuana to the bustling streets of Mexico City with each course.
Rich and abundant in flavour, the six-course tasting menu combines elements of both present-day Mexican street food and ancient culinary classics, passed through the generations, providing guests with a taste of the country’s colourful history.
Six by Nico takes on an ever-evolving concept, creating a new menu every six weeks. Following on from the great success of the first ‘Chippie’ themed menu, which launched in July, the new ‘Mexican’ menu is set to begin on August 20th, until the end of September.
The new six course tasting menu includes…
AMUSE BOUCHE – Lettuce, Lime Leaf & Avocado Gazpacho, Pico De Gallo Salsa;
BLOW TORCHED MACKEREL – Watermelon, Green Cilantro Taco, Whipped Creme Fraiche;
FRESH BURRATA – Green Chilli Salsa Verde, Cucumber Ketchup, Garden Herbs, Green Tomato Tostada;
SEA BASS – White Bean Hash, Chorizo, Pumpkin, Squid Ink & Lemon Emulsion;
PORK BELLY – Barbecued Elote, Crispy Fried Cornichon, Roasted Quince.

Chef Nico Simeone said “I think our Mexico themed tasting menu gives guests the opportunity to try different colours, textures and flavours that they may not have discovered before. Mexican food is fantastic with a lot of flair, colours and we aim to offer a diverse and delicious range of dishes that bring the culture and history of the country all together in one bite.”
Diners can book a table at Six by Nico now for ‘Mexico’ from August 20th. Open from midday, Tuesday through to Sunday, each six-course menu will be available from noon to night. The menu will be priced from £29 per person in Manchester with the option to enjoy an expertly selected wine and specialist drinks pairing for an additional £26. As ever, there is a vegetarian alternative available for every course, as well as snack sides.
Nico added, “We want to bring to life our interpretations of contemporary Mexican cooking. People these days are much more familiar with Mexican dishes. Al pastor, quesadillas, mole, carnitas, barbacoa, chipotle and taco are all part of our culinary vocabulary now and Six by Nico are excited to introduce our guests to some thrilling Mexican inspired dishes”.
