The 20 Best Restaurants On Bird Road - Miami - The Infatuation

"This Cuban diner is known for one thing: the bistec rio cristal. It’s a thin steak with one giant side of papitas. It’s why people come here—a pile of fries the size of Mt. Tropical Park that makes you question if there really is a steak under all those potato twigs. But it’s there, juicy, and layered with onions and parsley. Some people like to spurt ketchup all over the top, but these are not finger fries. They’re short and bumpy so you can stab them with your fork and eat them together with your steak. Rio Cristal also might have the absolute best flan in Miami too." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
