Dr. Ben Adkins - SEMO Times

Tio’s Mexican Bar and Grill on Three Rivers
Blvd. in Poplar Bluff, was outstanding. From
start to finish it was a first class experience.
We liked this restaurant so much that I’ve
been there for lunch three times in the last two
weeks. (well, I had to check to see if their iced
tea was really ridiculously weak or if it was just
an accident the first time I went--it was; two
trips later, the iced tea was brewed to its normal
strength)
One of the things I absolutely love about this
place is its decor and ambiance.
I’d rather eat in a
beautiful place with mediocre
food any day than
a scruffy place with fantastic
food (at least that’s
what I tell people!). It’s
amazing that this restaurant is located in Poplar
Bluff It has been transformed into maybe
the prettiest restaurant in Poplar Bluff.
The interior has sleek black and white themes
trim. The bar is amazing and there are meeting
rooms.

Tio’s Mexican Restaurant
in Poplar Bluff
The food
is good at
this place,
too, although I’ve only ordered one thing every
time I go. I like the Chicken Chimichanga--filled
with lots of chicken and served with beans, rice
and guacamole salad. The first time I went, my
mother ordered one of the lunch specials. She
said the beef tasted like it had been ground
too many time and she didn’t like the red sauce,
either. Now, she’s ordering the Chicken Chimichanga,
too! Maybe this was just a one-time
bad experience for her, maybe
all the beef tastes that way.
You’ll have to let me know--I’m
sticking to my favorite.
This is certainly a welcome
addition to the 573 restaurant
scene. If you haven’t been to Tio’s, I urge
you to try it. Look for me--I’ll probably be in
a table having iced tea and a Chicken Chimichanga!
