    FABULOUS! My entire family loved it. Followed it to the letter, and it was just what we were looking for. We also added a bit of lime juice at the end - perfection. Thank you Aida!

    This was very disappointing. I had high hopes, but my family and I hated this rice. I ended up throwing it all away. It had NO flavor, was not spicy, and was a bit crunchy. I followed the recipe exactly. I won't make this dish again!

    I loved this rice dish. Made extra to keep in fridge for other dinners too. Makes a great side dish for steaks and chicken and seafood.

    Great recipe! Very flavorful. Only made one small change -- used 2-1/2 cans of chicken broth (instead of 3-1/2 and one (1 can of beef broth. Yum!

    Tasty! I love cilantro so I had to make this. I did do a few things differently:
    1. Instead of kosher salt I used a tablespoon of chicken flavor bouillon. (rice was just right, not too salty
    2. I used 2 seeded serrano chiles (the rice wasn't spicy at all, next time for a spicy variation I'll probably use at least 4 and/or keep some seeds in.
    3. I added the juice of one lime to the cilantro mixture.

    Although I made some adjustments Aida's recipe is a great starting point. Its a keeper!

    This rice was delicious! This will work with an mexican dish, especially fish tacos. I kept the seeds in the pepper and used a whole bushel of cilantro. I made it with brown rice which meant that I had to cook this rice for 45 mins instead of 15 mins. I also used 4 cloves of garlic and kosher salt. Yummy!

    We really enjoyed this rice. I did scale back the cilantro, I made 1/2 the recipe and used a whole jalapeno (that is what I had with a hand full of cilantro. My husband loves cilantro and I like it in moderation so it was a compromise. It had great flavor and was a wonderful side to our fiesta chicken. Will make again!

    The cilantro flavor was way too strong and overpowering and I didn't even use as much as the recipe called for. It would not be on my list of favorite foods and it didn't turn out as I expected but I guess if you love cilantro it could be the dish for you.

    We made this rice to go with our sweet pork tacos...what a grand side! My family WILL be making this to accompany this dish and whatever other dinner we can think of. I love the flavors. We didn't have enough chicken broth and had to doctor it up a bit, but I can't find anything to complain about. BRAVO!
