Discover Rio Verde
Fountain Hills and Rio Verde are in Maricopa County, near the Phoenix metropolitan area. In these towns, you'll find an abundance of traditional hot-and-spicy Latino fare. Even restaurants, diners, and cafes that feature other types of cuisine tend to offer a smattering of Mexican- or Spanish-inspired dishes from tacos and tapas to tortillas. Pasta, New York-style pizza, and overstuffed hoagies aren't strangers to these neighborhoods, either. Wherever you eat, you can look forward to friendly Southwestern-style service, large portions, and generous refills. As far as alcohol, skinny margaritas and authentic Spanish sangria are like water here. Play a round of golf and then fill up on a grilled pastrami Reuben.
