About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Poplar Bluff, MO, Tios Bar & Grill stands out as a vibrant destination for lovers of authentic Mexican and Latin American cuisine. This warm and inviting restaurant offers a deliciously diverse menu that celebrates bold flavors and traditional dishes, with highlights that capture the essence of classic Mexican comfort food alongside innovative bar & grill favorites.

From the first bite, Tios Bar & Grill delivers a sensory feast. Indulge in the crispy, golden Chimichanga Plate, where perfectly fried tortillas envelop a savory filling that bursts with zest and richness. Their Seafood Nachos are piled high with fresh, flavorful toppings, creating a layered experience of textures and tastes that excite the palate. For those craving a dish steeped in tradition, the Chilaquiles offer a comforting mix of lightly fried tortilla chips drenched in tangy salsa and topped with cheese and eggs — a perfect harmony of smoky, spicy, and creamy notes.

The Mixed Fajitas showcase tender grilled meats and vibrant peppers, sizzling to perfection and served alongside warm tortillas, beans, and rice, inviting diners to create their own flavorful combinations. Taco aficionados will appreciate the Tacos de Carne Asada, combining juicy, marinated beef with fresh, crisp toppings that deliver every bite with authentic, mouth-watering intensity. For lighter options, the Taco Salad—a crisp flour tortilla shell brimming with seasoned beef or chicken, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream—strikes a satisfying balance of fresh and hearty flavors.

On the drinks side, Tios Bar & Grill elevates the dining experience with their famously refreshing Strawberry Margarita, a vibrant, fruity cocktail that complements the spiciness and depth of the dishes perfectly. The bar atmosphere feels convivial and lively, making it an excellent place for casual dining with friends and family alike.

Guests often praise the friendly and attentive service, with particular nods to staff members such as Charles, whose warm hospitality enhances each visit. Diners appreciate the balance Tios strikes between authentic flavor profiles reminiscent of Southwestern favorites and a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can savor your meal without hurry. While some have noted that the beans could use a bit more texture, this small critique is far outweighed by the overall satisfaction and consistently flavorful offerings found here.

Tios Bar & Grill also caters generously to families and groups with their Family Packs, such as the Family Chicken Cheese and Rice combo or the Family Fajitas, each thoughtfully paired with sides and chips to satisfy everyone’s tastes. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick lunch portion like Baked Shrimp with Veggies or settling in for a hearty dinner of Pollo Guadalajara or Beef Burritos, Tios ensures every dish is crafted with care and authenticity.

    We're originally from AZ, where the Mexican food is authentic, affordable, and delicious, we tried all the other places in town and this one is BY FAR the best. Only thing that could use some improvement is the beans, they seem to be blended and too soupy, would be much better with some whole beans.

    Had the enchiladas Verde, and the flavor was spot on. I've missed my CO Mexican restaurants, so it was good to find authentic dishes and flavor. Our servers were friendly and not too clingy, which I like best. I look forward to trying more of their menu!
