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.

Food was cold, lechón had a lot of fat, boiled yuca was cold and hard. Soup was fine.

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.

First & LAST time. Suuuuuuuuper slow. I am writing this review as I’ve been waiting AN HOUR after order my food. Is pricey too! And this place looks like a highschool cafeteria to charge almost $20 for a plate of chicken and rice. Im not coming back. [ Picture of a $18 “salmon” ]

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!

This was the worse restaurant experience Inever had. Waiter never gave us straws for our water. He was kind and we were very respectful to everyone. The Vaca frita was horrible and the Carne Asada we had ordered. The way they served the rice and bean was a size of a half cup. Black beans was not soft but the taste was good. Avocado was 1/4 size severed. Also, ask for toasted cuban bread. All that was paid $29 Without the Vaca fita and the Carne Asada. We should have taken pics so everyone can see how bad it was. Rio Crystal was before one of the best restaurant I knew in my opinion. Since I was a kid, me and my family used to come here. It seems they have a different Cheff. Also, theee was no bread steak or chicken. They stated that the packs of ground biscuits powder packs weren’t available at this time. I think they are broke and don’t have sufficient money to pay for it. I only can say that we will never come back to restaurant again. I have to give credit only to the waiter, we only saw one waiter working. This was around 2pm afternoon.

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!

The food was not ready at the scheduled time, the cashier asked for an extra tip, lack of ethics and professionalism, the restaurant lacks hygiene, I will not return to this restaurant, a very long wait for an order placed online

Still great. Portions are large and quality is still excellent. Usually get the Palomilla, but tried grilled chicken this time. It was excellent.

The Rio Cristal steak and fries are as good as they have ever been. The steak was thicker than the traditional palomilla, but it was still delicious!! The moros have a genuine homemade flavor and you can see the pieces sofrito in it. The best moros I’ve had in a few years.
