Porrúa.

Entre 1889 y 1891 aparece su logro maximo: Los bandidos de Rio Frio, una trama caudalosa de incidentes -registrados en la vida real, pero urdidos en su mayoria en torno a un celebre proceso de la epoca. Publicada la obra bajo el seudonimo de ''Un ingenio de la Corte'', el autor la considero ''novela naturalista, humoristica, de costumbres, de crimenes y de horrores''. Casi se han unificado los criticos en negarle valor artistico, en senalar los desfallecimientos de estilo. Ninguna de estas reticencias amengua la predileccion del publico lector por Los bandidos..., cuyas ediciones mantienen como exito permanente de libreria. En el curso de los anos no pierde animacion ni colorido este que pudiera llamarse magno fresco mural costumbrista de la vida mexicana a partir de la caida del Imperio. Los sucesos giran en todos los estratos sociales de la epoca, contingencia adecuada para pintar a potentados, profesionales, militares, artesanos, mercaderes, indios, clerigos, ladrones. Las descripciones de los viajes acuaticos hasta Chalco, de sitios pintorescos como el contorno de San Angel y el mercado de la Merced, de los viajes en diligencia expuestos al asalto, etcetera, son estampas de una veracidad deliciosa. Tambien se esmero aqui Payno en enaltecer los atributos favorables de varias poblaciones de la Republica especie de precursor del turismo en una epoca en la cual el impulso de viajar originaba multiples titubeos y especulaciones.
