I read somewhere about coming here getting a steak with a mountain of fries while visiting Miami... and I was not disappointed. It was excellent and incredibly filling.
The flan was the best flan I've had in my life. My girlfriend isn't a huge fan of flan, and she even enjoyed it.

I come here when I’m in Miami because they make an amazing palomilla steak (thin and juicy with onions and a bit of tangy lime flavor) with a big pile of homestyle shoestring fries!
The place has a hole-in-the-wall vibe, but don't let that discourage you. A sweet grandma will likely wait on you, and you'll get great service. I like to finish up with a flan.
You can pay by QR code at your table, and on your way out you'll probably put Rio Cristal on your repeats list for Cuban comfort food.

Without fail, anytime I go, food, service wait time on point. The place isn’t fancy, it never has been, it’s homey, comfort food with large portions! Do yourself a favor and try it and don’t forget to leave space for the flan. Take it home if you have to!

Soooo good. We walked in, sat down, and had a glass of water in front of us before we could blink. We didn't need a menu, we knew we wanted a good sandwich and some fried chicken. They did not disappoint.

So happy to celebrate my birthday here after many years of not being able to come. This place is very nostalgic to me. We used to come here when I was little. The steak is famous for it's huge pile of hand cut french fries that are always perfectly cut and cooked.
Rarely does a reality feel even better than a nostalgic memory, but Rio Cristal did that, and more. They made us feel at home and went above and beyond with service.
Mil gracias por el gustazo de regresar a un pedazo de mi hogar. La realidad fué aún mejor que la memoria nostálgica. ¡Gracias!

Best Cuban food in town come hungry because you are going to get filled up I ordered the big steak to take half home and ended up eating the whole thing. Come experience one of the very few still original restaurants in Miami. And don't forget to try the most delicious flan I've ever tasted.

This is by far the best restaurant with the most delicious palomilla steak that I’ve had in Miami. The steak had so much flavor and I loved the black beans. The service was excellent all the waiters that I encountered were great, Digna, Aurora, and I believe the gentleman’s name is Jesus were all wonderful and provided excellent service! I just wish that I lived closer I already miss the palomilla steak. I was visiting from the San Diego area I will definitely be back whenever I am in Miami. Muchas gracias a todos por el gran servicio!
