I'm never using boxed red beans and rice to go with Mexican food again! In the past I was a little lost as to what to serve with tacos, or fajitas but now I have an answer. This was really easy, and it tasted a lot like the mexican rice we eat at a Mexican restaurant in my area. Of course, I can't afford saffron, so I omitted it but other than that the ingredients were pretty normal and easy to find. And no one was repulsed by green peppers, which the kids have a problem with every time we sit down to eat.

Excellent recipe. I used Rotel tomatoes. Saffron is usually found in the spice section of any grocery store. Although expensive, a little goes a very long way!

This is the best version of Mexican Rice I've tried. It's absolutely fantastic. I like to substitute chopped stewed tomatoes (or fresh if they're in season) instead of the tomato sauce. Also be sure to use an oil that does not overpower the dish. Be sure to use the saffron. There have been a couple other reviewers who haven't used it. You have too...otherwise it's like making a lemon dill sauce without the dill (well, almost). Thanks Ginger.

Wonderful recipe. I have been looking for a recipe that resembles restaurant mexican rice and now I have found it. One thing that I recommend is not to stir at all once the rice is in the simmering stage. DO NOT STIR OR EVEN LIFT THE LID if you want perfect rice. My whole family loved it.

excellent recipe, but use a non stick pan so you need barely any oil...and you'll have to get more creative with the additions to the rice, or it's a little bland. I added corn, jalapeno, anaheim, and red peppers, zucchini, and extra tomato, black beans, and hot sauce to the mix. I served it with sour cream on top and drizzled with...lime!

This is the recipe that the Tex-Mex dinners use...finally found it! It's not in many mexican cook books..Its so basic all the Mamma's just knew how to make it!Thank you Ginger! The only thing I added was a half of can of green peas. And Enchalada sauce might work for the tomato sauce without the chili powder...Will need to try it!

This recipe has become a favorite at my house. I had a hard time finding Saffron so I substituted 1 packet of Goya's Con Azafran spice for the cumin and saffron. I prefer to use Mexican Styled Stewed Tomatoes in place of the tomato sauce. My mom also likes to add a can of pink beans when you pour in the water. Thank you Ginger!

THANK YOU GINGER for sharing this recipe! I have been looking for a mexican rice recipe forever to no avail. I added a tsp of taco seasoning and sprinkled some cheese at the end to melt! Very good and is a wonderful side dish to one of the many mexican lasagna recipes also found on this site. Will make again and again!

It was easy to put together but it has too much of a tomato taste. It was edible, but I wouldn't make it again!

This was great. Took it to a Bible Study Pot Luck and everyone loved it. I told it wasn't mine (don't worry). I never knew I could cook spanish rice. Thanks for the tip!!!

This is a wonderful dish! At the last minute I realized I didn't have the tomato sauce, so I used a can of diced tomatoes instead, and it turned out delicious! I will probably make it that way again. Very flavorful and easy as well.

this rice was full of flavor. I couldn't find saffron after going to 2 stores, but the recipe did not suffer. I usually hate mexican rice at restaurants, but I loved this.

I would not call this a main dish. I found that it worked with chips as an appitizer or as a taco salad topping.

I would rename this recipe "San Antonio" as opposed to Mexican. Being Mexican myself and making this rice or eating it from relatives in Old Mexico, the recipe does not call for all that spice nor peppers, much less all that tomato sauce. Less than 1 can is enough if you use tomato sauce. And the rice is supposed to be sauteed with the onion in the oil. It sounds good, but I don't think it's kid friendly. It's just another Tex-Mex variation of the traditional recipe.
