Two St. Louis favorites are joining forces in The Grove. Taco Circus will bring its homemade Austin Tex-Mex favorites to Tropical Liqueurs (Trops), 4104 Manchester Ave., St. Louis, Missouri 63110. Taco Circus @ Trops will be located inside Trops and will open late this spring. An opening date will be announced in the coming weeks.

Taco Circus @ Trops is the newest venture of the Trops ownership group and Taco Circus Owner and Executive Chef Christian Ethridge. Working together, the group developed a menu that brings together Trops’ New Orleans style and Taco Circus’ authentic Austin, Texas, roots.

“This past year has given us the opportunity to plan for the future and find what we think is the perfect fit for a dining experience within Trops. With summer on the horizon, we are excited to bring Taco Circus to The Grove. There is such a natural fit between tacos and slushies, we know our guests are going to love it,” says Billy Thompson, a member of the Trops ownership group.

The menu will feature Taco Circus’ signature homemade tortillas, Al Pastor, chicken, beef and vegan street tacos, burritos, nachos along with a Mexican twist on St. Louis-style pizza, elotes and churros. There will also be a weekend brunch featuring Tres Leches French toast with Una Vida Tequila ice cream, Chile Relleno Tortilla Espanola, Michoacan-style charbroiled pork belly eggs Benedict served on homemade sopes, homemade bite-size sopaipillas with cajeta, Taco Circus' famed breakfast tacos and breakfast quesadillas. Late-night tacos will also be offered.

Trops is following all current St. Louis City COVID-19 guidelines and offers indoor and outdoor seating, along with curbside delivery.
