Best Mexican rice I have ever made or eaten! Tastes like the rice I get from my favorite Mexican restaurant. I did use butter instead of oil to saute the rice though.

Easy and delightful. Uses ingredients on hand. I've wrecked so many attempts at Mexican rice that I was amazed when this turned out tender, fluffy, savory, flavorful, but not spicy. Did make some substitutions -- butter instead of oil to give more savory flavor; 1 full tsp taco seasoning instead of cumin which I didn't have (but cumin was 1st ingredient in the taco seasoning packet from Trader Joe)....otherwise followed recipe to the letter. BTW, I didn't think the rice "puffed" as stated in the recipe, but it did turn a deep golden -- which gave it a LOT of flavor.

Very good. I modified by adding two cloves of garlic, additional cumin, some paprika and chili powder. I also doubled the onion. I prepared according to the instructions. Texture was fluffy and perfect. Next time I will probably added some diced tomatoes or maybe Rotel for additional tomato flavor, but as I prepared it tonight it was great.

I've made this rice dish twice so far and everyone agrees that it was great. The first time was for our Mother's Day fajita/burrito family lunch. I made it a second time as a siding to a vegetable main dish, and I added a can of peas to add some bulk to the rice. For both times, I added 1 tsp of cumin instead of just 1/2 tsp, plus 1 tsp of chili and 1/2 tsp spanish paprika. Love this dish :-)

This rice is easy to make & it tastes great! My kids love it. I make it in a pot and it comes out nice and fluffy.

Thank goodness someone finally saved me from boxed Mexican rice. This was delicious and easy to make. The only change I made was to add fresh garlic. I will be serving this with all my Mexican food from now on!
