We have tried several rice recipes.....this is our favorite. Came out fluffy, not mushy like others. Did use HOT water too, maybe that's why? You do need to add salt, was a little bland, but was nice to alter to our taste...added a spicy salt mix. We will definately use this recipe again!

yeah! that's the mexican style... my mom add a chicken bouillon in the HOT water, and less than a can of tomato sauce.... first sautee the garlic and a little bit of onion with the rice and then the rest of the ing.

I made this with brown rice instead of white, otherwise as written. I fought the urge to add some butter (I'm a Southern girl!), but wish I had given in! Definitely needs additional salt and maybe some onion. I would make it again with those additions.

Pretty good! I didn't have any tomato sauce, so I used petite diced tomatoes, undrained and it worked out well. We ate this with enchiladas for dinner :)

Good basic recipe--it tastes as if it should be one of those things you can make without a recipe, but since I'd never made it before finding the recipe and hadn't even thought ot adding the ingredients together for a dish--it obviously needs the recipe. So, here's my review--good side dish but not shocking or unique in taste--don't think this will be the star of your meal. BUT it will be a delicious side dish that enhances an amazing main dish.

This tastes exactly like the rice you can get at THE fast food chain. Perfect copycat. I found it to be dry and I have to agree with the others who said it's bland. It definitely needs more salt. Not sure I'd use this particular recipe again. If I did, major tweaking would be necessary.

I started to make this, only to realize that I didn't have any tomato sauce. But I did have some salsa, so I used that instead. Rice turned out wonderful, with great flavor, and was a perfect side dish to our chicken enchiladas.
