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.
