El Paso Mexican Rice is delicious. I just served it with homemade enchiladas and it was wonderful. It was spiced just right, tender and juicy and so easy to prepare. None was left!

I only did four stars because I expected more flavor from this product. It was very mild. It was very tasty only low on flavor. I decided to try this in my stuffed peppers instead of plain rice. I recommend doing this. it really added a nice flavor to our stuffed peppers. We had the left over rice as our side dish rather mashed potatoes. It was a nice change to our menu.

it's alright but not very cheesy..

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...

i wasn't that impressed. i was hoping for a thick cheesy sauce, but the sauce wasnt that thick, it was comparable to other instant rices i have bought.

Don't Let The Size of The Box Fool You

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.

No taste

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.

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.

Literally the taste of garbage.

I don't know what it was, but it tasted like the smell of garbage. Also, I cooked it exactly the way I was supposed to and it came out soupy. It was not good at all. I'm not one to spit out my food, but I did with this.
