Review: Quick & Flavorful Mexican-Style Rice — Perfect Easy Side - How It Tastes Most reviewers find the flavor good with a classic Tex-Mex vibe — rice seasoned with bell peppers, smoked paprika, kidney beans, and a bit of mild spice. It’s well-suited as a side with tacos, burritos, or grilled meats, and the Mexican-style spices give it more character than plain rice. That said, several people note the spice is a bit stronger than expected. If you’re serving kids or someone with low spice tolerance, it might feel hotter than “mild.” ⏱️ Convenience One of the biggest perks reviewers mention is how fast and easy this rice is. It cooks right in the pouch in about 60 seconds in the microwave — no extra pots, pots, or dishes to wash. That makes it great for quick weeknight meals, lunch on the go, or when you just want a simple side without prep. 🍚 Texture & Quality The texture is generally described as good — not mushy or overly soft. It holds up well after heating and pairs nicely with protein and sauces. Some users treat it as a base and add additional toppings (like shredded cheese, beans, or salsa) to boost flavor and make it more filling. 👍 Pros • Quick & Easy: Ready in about a minute — perfect for busy days. • Flavorful: Good Mexican-style seasoning that pairs well with Tex-Mex dishes. • No Mess: Heats in the pouch with minimal cleanup. 👎 Cons • Spice Level: A few reviewers think it’s spicier than “mild” advertised. • Basic: Some say it’s not gourmet — it’s a dependable side, not a standout entrée. ⭐ Summary Overall, this Old El Paso microwavable Mexican-style rice

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Microwaveable and price !!
*by B***H on January 8, 2026*

Convenient and taste great .. and the great thing is the pouch is microwaveable and makes it a great timesaver and no messy cleanups

### ⭐⭐⭐ Decent for the price
*by S***. on October 1, 2024*

Overall, I find this rice to be decent for the price. It’s incredibly convenient - just one minute in the microwave on high and it's ready to go. Due to being in the microwave, I found that it cooked a little bit unevenly though. Not really unexpected. Some parts were softer/mushier than others. The flavor is good - it seems to have a nice balance of spices; however, the flavor profile isn't my absolute favorite out there. I served it on the side with loaded nachos. I think this rice would be better mixed into a dish or served with other ingredients versus just on the side by itself. Due to its ease, convenience, and low price point, I think I'll be keeping some of this on hand to add to tacos on taco night.
