Pretty good. Not quite as good as "that Mexican place" but a good substitute. I doubled the lime juice and cilantro as suggested.

I made this as a burrito filling. I pretty much doubled the cilantro stated in the recipe - because I love it so much! I also let the rice cook a little while longer because I found that the it was to stiff. Also I didn't add the chicken bouillon cubes. It was pretty good and went well with the black bean salsa filling and guacamole!

I really liked it. I improvised a bit and took out the chicken things and added more lime. I actually liked my rice more than the mexican place near my home. Maybe it was the extra lime.

Not bad, but a little bland. I made it in my rice cooker. If I made this again, I would definitely use more cilantro and more lime.

I had to make this recipe twice...when I used regular rice, it was very moist and sticky. I don't know what I did wrong. I started over using Minute rice and it was delish! I too added some extra seasonings to it - garlic powder, diced onion, and a little cayenne pepper. Served it with the Across the Border Tequila shrimp from this site and it was a huge hit! Not a drop left over!

Was ok - nothing really exciting. Would try with more lime and cilantro next time.

I am so sorry but I did not care for this recipe. I followed it EXACTLY and it was just not good at all. I even tried to add LOTS more cilantro-still just not right. I had to quickly make another side dish instead as the main course was almost finished. We love cilantro, lime and rice so thought this would be perfect, I guess it's just not the dish for us.

When I was done revving up this recipe it was good, but the base recipe was just average. I’m taking it to a work potluck and we have several vegetarians there (so I nixed the chicken bouillon) as some of the reviews suggested. I think it would have been better with the bouillon. Anyhow... I used brown rice.....added a can of black beans (drained and rinsed), garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and some cumin. Kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. It’s much better, but...when I tasted the original recipe there was NO WAY I would have taken this to a potluck “as is” because it was just to bland. I have a reputation to uphold...lolol I think it would be best layered into a big ol’ bathtub burrito as filler (as opposed to an actual side dish). Or maybe with some delish marinated flank steak served over it.

This was really good. I had read the reviews, and some were not so positive, but it sounded good so I went ahead and tried it. We loved it. It does have a strong lime taste, so you may want to cut the amount of lime in half, however we were eating the meal with a sweeter wine and it complimented it well.

I do this recipe myself with Basmati rice and I add ground red chilli as well as season with salt and pepper...tis a killer to serve with Teriyaki marinated salmon (24hrs marinating if pos) which I then poach or grill. Nice healthy meal that my family love!

I used a bit less lime juice than the recipe calls for after reading the reviews. Also I the cilantro (plus a bit extra chopped finely) just before the rice finished cooking to allow the extra heat to increase the cilantro flavor. Turned out quite well and went great with the mexican dish I was making. Will make again for sure.

I love this recipe. I like to make my own Vegertarian Burrito Bol and this rice is on the money! But I do leave out the chicken granules to cut the saltiness.

Compared to "that burrito place" (which I frequent at LEAST once a week), this comes close, but not enough for me to use as a substitute for my "burrito place's" rice fix. I wanted to leave the chicken bouillon out, but I always make my recipes as-is (or as close as I can) on the first run through. To anyone who is skeptical: leave it out, or cut the amount in half. I've tried another recipe with much better results, Google "Chipotle Copycat Lime Rice."
