Tio Pio debuts on 14th Street with quick-serve Latin cuisine

Tio Pio debuted on Sunday here at 250 E. 14th St. just west of Second Avenue... we first spotted this signage back in February 2020. The pandemic put the brakes on the opening plans for last year. 

The quick-serve Latin-American restaurant offers inexpensive comfort foods like roasted pork and rotisserie chicken with sides of rice, beans and plantains. You can find their menu here. 

Tio Pio, which also has a location in downtown Brooklyn, took over the space from Mi Casa Latina, which closed in the fall of 2019 after 10 months in business.

Thanks to Steven for the photo yesterday!

Coming soon signage is up for Tio Pio at 250 E. 14th St. just west of Second Avenue...



This will be a new outpost for the quick-serve restaurant that specializes in Spanish-American cuisine, particularly a tasty (we're told) and reasonably priced rotisserie chicken. (Some chicken competition for the KFC next door!)

Tio Pio takes over the space from Mi Casa Latina, which closed late last fall after 10 months in business.
