Always a joy to share dinner with family and friends at Rio Azul! Our favorite spot for Mexican specialties in the valley! Great food, drinks and service, as well as a great value for the wallet! Dani and the crew always make us feel special.
May 2024
We were looking for a Mexican restaurant and came across Rio Azul.We made reservations ahead of time but they were not needed. The restaurant had no wait time when we arrived. We were seated right away and service was quick.We ordered the Queso Flamiado as appetizer and the make your own Fajita for two. Both were delicious and loaded with flavors.Parking was a little tricky. They have a shared parking lot and most of the spots were hotel specific. The restaurant spits were all...

We set out on the patio. Very nice evening. We were there for happy hour! Great menu! Margarita's were great and loved the chips and salsa. We both ordered the tacos and the were great. Plenty of meat and cheese and the tortillas were crispy. Would recommend going there ?
