Rio Azul - Palm Springs

I don't think I've ever been to a Mexican restaurant that doesn't serve chips and salsa until I went to Rio Azul where they celebrated their “Grand Opening”. I had Carnitas who were like that. They were served with 3 half-cold flour tortillas and enough onions, cilantro, etc. for a decent taco. It was $14. My partner had a combination plate, the $10.25, and so on. I added a small Albondigas soup $4.25), which was most tasteless, including the three 3) tiny meatballs swimming in the broth. They offer your choice of fried beans, pinto beans or black beans. The black beans were almost cold, corresponding to the decor. I won't give them a second chance.
