What People Are Saying About Original Rio Cristal

The Editor

Rick Munarriz

Citysearch

In Short – Seat yourself at an empty booth and watch a fleet of friendly, elderly "abuelitas" juggling plates loaded with heaping portions of Cuban classics. The signature dish is a palomilla steak, buried under a sea of freshly-cut julienne fries. Most entrees are accompanied with cups of white rice and soupy black beans. Save room for desert, where tropical choices feature coconut, papaya or guava preserves. –
