Believe it or not, a lot of AUTHENTIC Mexican dishes are bland. If you choose recipes that are authentic you will either want to spice it up to your own taste, or just stay away from them altogether if you don't care for bland foods. I happen to love authentic Mexican food and this rice dish is marvelous!

This was okay; I was kind of disappointed. It lacked alot of seasoning. I had to add salt at the table because it was still bland. I think next time I'll try a different recipe. By the way, it makes A LOT!

I made this for a church dinner party.Topped it with some mexican cheese blend. It was great!A big hit with the crowd. Then put leftovers in a pot with refried beans and salsa. Also very good.

This is how my grandmother makes it. Mix it in with you beans and some tortillas and it's perfect.

I really liked this! I halved it & cooked it in my rice cooker. Used 1/2 chicken broth mixed with the water. It cooked up beautifully. My 3 boys loved it!

Very good dish! However, I changed the way of cooking the rice since I was using par-broiled rice for this recipe. I boiled the rice before adding to the skillet to brown it for 1 minute. Adding cumin to the mix is a great idea; the rice turned out very tasty as a result. I will definitely try this recipe again.

I followed the recipe to the "T" and #1 it didn't cook. I had to bring the mixture to a boil first, then let simmer. #2 it didn't have much flavor on it's own. It would be great in a burrito or as a base to something else, but we were disappointed in it as a plain side. Sorry.

This rice is yummy. This was my first time making Mexican rice, and being such a big Mexican food fan, I'm impressed with this recipe. I didn't really measure any of my spices/ salt/ pepper, and I added some green bell pepper. Thanks for the recipe.

This was very good rice. I'll use this again for sure. I used the juice I drained from the fire roasted tomatoes I was using for an accompanying salsa for this instead of the tomato sauce. I used morelos rice and garlic powder. My DH wrapped this in his flour tortillas along with the seasoned meat. Perfect for picky eaters too as there is no onion, no green peppers, and no chunks of tomatoes in this. Thanks so much Txcookingprincess, I loved grandma's rice!

I gave this a 3 because I'm actually not really sure what to rate it. It's a good idea...it's the way my hubby said his abuela used to make rice. However, he said it's supposed to be fluffy and this definitely didn't come out fluffy. The flavor is right where it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to have an overwhelming flavor, I guess. This isn't spanish rice. However, I'm looking for a way to make it fluffy...any suggestions?

I did the recipe exactly as stated and ran into one little snag. I cooked the rice for the 20 minutes and when I opened the lid it was still really soupy. I brought everything to a boil and then reduced the heat and simmered for 15 minutes (Just like you would prepare regular rice). Hope this helps.

This rice recipe had a strong tomato aroma, and it lacked in flavor. In actuality, I felt it almost had a sour taste to it.

Very good, but after adding the water, you may want it to boil before turning heat down and putting on lid. It soaks up more of the liquid.

It was dry and sticky with no taste. I added one 16 oz. jar of picant sauce. And some taco sauce.Which gave it some taste.. Will not make again.

Used brown rice and chicken stock instead of water came out great. Added peas and topped with green onion when I served.
