This rice was so good I couldn't stop eating it!!! I didn't have any garlic powder, but added fresh garlic. I served it with the mexican fish recipe from this site with fresh lime and it was a really good easy weeknight meal. I will make this again and again!

LOVED this! I added frozen vegetables into the saucepan first and made sure they cooked a little before adding the rice, which added some great color and additional flavors. I also added a little Adobo seasoning to the garlic salt and cumin. Also, when I put in tomato sauce, I put in some salsa. You could definitely taste the difference the salsa made and it was DELICIOUS. I'm never buying preseasoned mexican rice again!

This is as good as is found in most restaurants; however, there is still something missing. Instead of the salt and cumin, I substituted an equal amount of Taco Seasoning I from this site. In the end I needed more salt and black pepper. This is definitely a keeper, but I'm not finished tinkering.

Absolutely my favourite rice dish ever. Occassionally make it without the onion (don't always have any lying around) but it still tastes wonderful. Thank you so much for the recipe! GREAT food:)

It's a bit salty. I cooked 1.5 cups of rice and used the 1 tsp garlic salt that was part of the original recipe for 1 cup of rice. It was still a little salty

this was a good basic recipe. it tasted pretty much the same as you can find in mexican restaurants around here. and my husband was happy as he said "it actually tastes like mexican rice" and was pretty impressed. i thought it was a little too wet still. but thats okay. iwould just reduce the broth a tiny bit next time.

This is good rice, but it's missing something. I'm from Texas, and down here, no Mexican dish is complete without cilantro! This is a very important ingredient. It adds a much needed kick to everything. You don't need a bunch of it, just about 1/4 cup will be plenty. If you're not familiar with it, just use a little until you get your taste figured out. Just add it in when you add in the liquids. It's great.

Made this with Fajita seasoning instead of the cumin and garlic, and salsa instead of the tomatoes - really, really good. Added some frozen corn to it as well...

Excellent rice dish! I followed the instructions and it came out delicious! I did add a bit more cumin than instructed since I love the taste of it. I served this dish with the 'oven fried chicken III', a side-dish of yellow, orange and red peppers marinated in an Asian sauce and with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc as suggested! It turned out to be a great meal.

I love this dish because of its easiness. I made a few minor changes based on the reviews. (1) I was worried about the onions not being cooked enough and I was worried about burning the rice so I partially cooked the onions first then added the rice. I also added a bit more onions. (2) I used onion and garlic flavored tomato sauce for added flavor (3) Along with the cumin, I added onion powder, accent, adobo, cayenne pepper, and season all. It ended up being a great side dish and would probably be amazing for burritos. UPDATE: I realized the first time I made this I accidentally used Swanson's low sodium chicken stock instead of the broth. The 2nd time I used the broth, but I liked the stock better. Also I've added this rice to the Delicious Black Bean Burritos recipe on this site and it was A+!

Made this to go with Chile Verde. It is delicious! I highly recommend it. I doubled the recipe and added some diced tomatoes because I did not have quite enough tomato sauce.

Good rice that I'd make again. I substituted the seasoning for Taco Seasoning I on this site and it came out better that way than the original seasoning blend. Subtle difference but enough to take the rice from ok and good.

This was a big hit. Instead of the tomato sauce, I added 3/4 cup RoTel brand diced tomatoes with green chilies. My husband said it tasted better than our favorite Mexican restaurant's Mexican rice.

I usually use a different recipe for rice when I cater, but I tried this one on a whim and had loads of compliments. I'll always use this one!
