Old El Paso Cheesy Mexican Rice Mix, Side Dish, 7.6 oz

I use this to make fast cheesy Mexican chicken rice casserole, similar to what you order at a restaurant. not the same but it does make for a filling and comforting meal for a family of 5 even good by itself or as a side. can do a lot with it

I made this last night as a side to go with tacos and was pleasently surprised by the taste. I thought that it woukd probably bo\e OK but wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. The ease of preparation just added to my delight with this rice side dish. I will definitely be buying this again.

This was REALLY GOOD. I cooked fresh diced tomatoes and black beans (half can) into this cheesy rice and it was amazing on pita with hamburger meat.

Honestly it didn't have much flavor. I was very disappointed because Okd El Paso is a good brand. I even added margarine, garlic salt and black pepper. I won't purchase this again.

Used this to make taco bell recipe qusaritos for cinco de mayo, the texture of the rice is very good but the descriptive title of "cheesy rice" feels somewhat deceptive. Just tastes like a seasoned rice, it's no bad by any means but it definitely isn't "cheesy" either...

We thought this rice would come in a box of a similar size to Rice A Roni. We were surprised that it was a physically larger box. Wow. This must be some rice dish. Wrong! We opened the box and found a dribble of rice at the bottom of this goodly-sized box. We noted that the rice level was below the image of the plate of rice on the box (see pic). We know most side dishes come in a larger-than-needed box because the seasoning packet takes up more room than the rice/pasta/whatever. But this product's sizing was almost comical. The packet didn't even need that large of a box! They seem to be packaging this product in a larger box just to make it look more impressive on the shelf. Don't be fooled. As far as the rice itself, it was meh. Nothing that we'd jump to buy again. We only remember it because of the big box for a tiny bit of food.

This rice has no flavor profile. You might just cook up some plain rice because this has no flavor at all. Be prepared to add your own chicken bouillon, garlic, cumin, chili powder or spices to make it taste like something. I'll just buy plain rice next time. It's cheaper.

Package was damaged/opened was unable to use it

This had little flavor. It was made according to package directions, and it had too much liquid. It smelled amazing, but fell flat. I would recommend making your own; much better and less time.

This was a substitution and I didn't care for it at all. It's a far stretch from soft shell taco dinner pack to a rice dinner. Really Walmart. Step it up …… it would have been better to now substitute at all rather than just trying to squeeze out as many dollars as you can. Shame on you.
