I am so happy to reconnect with Rio Cristal again. I can still find them palomilla steak under the mountain of fries! OMG the best food! The best flan in the world! Had to have a cerveza. I.am so happy to reconnect with Rio Cristal on Bird Road.

Food was really good. Servers were (mostly) helpful, but it took us calling three times to get water refills for our table. Server who took the order brought a different sandwich from what I asked, but quickly requested the correct one .

I love this restaurant so much. I’ve been coming here for more than 25 years. They have the best flan in all of Miami. I always get the #51 steak and fries, it’s so amazing. I love the makeover they did on the interior. I will always come back to eat here when I visit Miami.

Food and service was great however if you plan to have a conversation over dinner, I recommend finishing dinner prior to 6:30. They have recently added entertainment which was way too loud for the size of this restaurant. Again food was great but I don't enjoy load music at dinner.

I had an amazing dinner with my family , idieana was a server and very attentive, TRES LECHE IS WORTH IT REAL HOUSEMADE TRES LECHE, live music , was very nice while eating , very soothing even for the kids they enjoyed it , decorations were very pretty very clean overall as well
Good chicken steak and fries. Happy to see the place totally refurbished. Much nicer. Though somewhat higher prices, still good value for money. Had the John Bill Fish with two side orders, excellent. Still the best place for palomilla steak, chicken steak and those wonderful fries and tostones. Flan out of this world.!!!

Greetings, I already read a comment similar to the one I am going to make here. I went to this place on March 7, 2025. The worker showed me a menu that said palomilla steak 14.50 was my usual dish and a coffee only that when the bill arrives 52 dollars and the tip 18% the minimum I know that everything has gone up but the menu they showed me only had 4 sides, it is not the one that appears here Forgive me, the public who may have read my comment, I wrote it in a bad mood, I clarify in the 4-page menu, the only palomilla steak says 14.50. I don't remember the cents well, I know it says 14. I ordered 2 steaks, I went with my wife and a coffee. In any case, it would be 30, not 52, plus the coffee. If you tell me that the dish costs 25.00 and I order it, I don't have to make negative comments. Please change the menu with the real prices. Sorry, I am correcting myself. My intention is not to destroy, it is to avoid problems. Thank you.

I went to this place for more than 15 years and they are no longer the same place. They doubled the prices, reduced the seasoning and now charge for almost every single side dish. So sad to see another Miami original become another bland, boring inauthentic restaurant. Won’t be going back.
