Best rice ever!!!!!
"Best rice ever!!!!!"
Great in recipes
"I love this product."
High Vinegar Smell
"Not Real Spanish Rice, the contents are less than."
It was really funky
"The taste of it wan not even Spanish"
Way too much sodium and water.
"The excessive amounts of sodium and water turns this into a very salty rice mush. You can still taste a bit of the Spanish Rice flavor but the saltiness is overpowering. You're also not getting as much value for your money due to how watery this is. The cans themselves don't have an easy open lid and 7 of the 12 cans were dented."
Pretty good
"Will buy again"
Canned ricea prererida gooey mess. Tomales are good.
"A mess of a rice."
Disappointed!
"Seller delivered mdse quickly. Pleased with seller, but the Spanish Rice just wasn't very good. I've had Spanish rice & it was very good. But it wasn't this brand! Will not buy again!"
Canned Spanish rice is not for me
"It’s more like Spanish rice soup. Mainly just rice and soupy water. very little peppers, couldn’t find any onions in it and about 2 or 3 tomato bits. It’s nothing like the boxed Spanish rice. I won’t be buying again. I’m going back to the boxed Spanish rice. It’s 💯% better than this canned stuff. Just my opinion tho."
