this is just a headcanon of mine but i think that nicky's dad really suppressed the latino part of him (the part where his father "rescued" his mother from mexico" and his mom taught him a lot abt mexican culture but his dad undermined it so after he left his parents and was with eric he wanted to really find who he is and thats when he started really embracing being mexican and all that heritage and he's super proud of his heritage
honestly i wouldnt be surprised if that bastard luther did that. i can def see nicky being super proud of being mexican! and also mixing mexican and german traditions together. one thing that i’ve always thought about was nicky wanting to surprise erik and so he does like a mexican-german food fusion night( how well that goes idk!)
