this was good but the broth flavor was very predominate. We actually threw everything in the rice cooker and it came out well! We also added some peas and corn. Thanks!

Very tasty. Actually tastes just like the rice at the Tex-Mex restaurants around here. Easy and quick. Thx!

Delicious and so easy! I even used instant rice- fried it in the oil with the spices and then added the tomato sauce and broth and microwaved as per directions on the box. Used as a burrito filling.

FANTASTIC RECIPE. THANKS. I had company tonight and took a chance with a new recipe for my mexican meal I made. Your mexican rice did not disappoint. And EVERYONE loved it! I used basmati rice as thats the only kind I had in my cupboard. I also used garlic and salt separately instead of garlic salt which I didn't have. And I used chicken broth instead of vegtable. I chose this recipe as I was short on time and it looked the simplest. But sometimes simple is just the best. Now I will be making this everytime I make mexican. Loved it. And to everyone who wants to try this recipe for the first time, don't hesitate!

As I grew up, my best friend was from a Mexican family. I watched them make rice for years, but when I made it something went wrong. Your rice is the closest I've found to what they always did. They added garlic and salt, not garlic salt. They also used water instead of broth. Never the less, it is awesome. What some people don't realize is..Mexican rice isn't meant to be DRY. This rice is wonderful.
