While I wouldn't say I was blown away by either of the two flavors I tried, SOMOS rice pouches are certainly tasty. The Mexican Street Corn White Rice had a hint of sweetness and a very mild zing, whereas the Poblano Brown Rice w/ Spinach and Jalapeños had, as the peppers might signal, a bit more heat (though it was by no means overpowering). In a head-to-head taste test, I preferred the natural sugariness and slight creaminess of the Mexican street corn, while my wife liked the authentic taste of the poblano brown rice. All in all, I'd say they were a win-win and, while I probably won't be buying them regularly (rice is easy enough to make), are good alternatives for anyone in a time pinch (they are ready to serve after being microwaved for a minute and a half).

Love it. Very fluffy, ready in time according the instruction. I bought Cilantro lime, taste is balanced: not sour, enough cilantro. Two servings in the pack is completely enough for 2 people

The flavor is so perfect and delicious. I don't need to add any seasoning. The portion is good enough for two servings, or one if you are a big eater. It is easy to cook/warm it which saves me a lot of time in meal prep. Great choice!

I purchased the substantial salsa verde burrito bowl kit. A nice vegan meal option with cilantro-flavored rice & a plant-based protein. Note: steer clear if HBP is an issue. A lower-sodium version would be appreciated.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Somos Mexican Street Corn Rice is a game-changer! It's plant-based, gluten-free, and non-GMO, making it a perfect choice for health-conscious eaters. Just microwave it for 90 seconds for a quick and flavorful meal or side dish that captures the authentic taste of Mexican street food.

I thought that the beans and rice I tried were fantastic. I used them in vegan nachos and loved my experience. The flavors were perfect and I would recommend them anytime. I got what my stores had, Black and Pinto beans plus Spanish Rice. I am happy to get a new product that does not need any alterations. There was a great deal of sodium on the label, but it did not seem overly salty, and I barely use any salt in cooking.

Used the green enchilada sauce and chipotle white rice tonight for an easy family dinner. Boy was it tasty! No leftovers here which makes for an easier cleanup. Cant wait to try more somos products in the future

I liked this product. The packet was enough for me twice. It’s very convenient that you don’t need to cook for a long time. I heated it in a frying pan, adding a little water. This is very helpful when you are short on time. I was afraid it would be too spicy, but nothing like that. The composition is good, but I would replace sunflower and safflower oil with olive or avocado oil.

It was very easy to use! I also love rice and corn so why not one that has both! Very good with any choice of protein and sauce as well!

I like it and to me it doesnt taste any different that regular rice. It did need a tad bit salt added to it but for it to be a different flavor to try even it wasnt bad at all. By the way i purchased it from Walmart.

SOMO's 90 Second Chipotle White Rice offers a convenient and flavorful rice option with a smoky, spicy kick. Its quick cooking time and consistent texture make it an ideal side dish or base for a quick meal with a dash of heat.

I never thought I would buy ready to eat rice but this rice is worth it as it’s packed full of flavor (spices and veggies). I like to use it as a filler in burritos and tacos.

I tried the black beans. They were tasty but I could do without the plastic. I'd prefer if it were packaged in a can.

I tried the Green Enchilada Sauce and the Mexican Brown Rice. I made enchiladas, following a recipe from the website. At the end of the day, I couldn't taste the enchilada sauce, and it wasn't flavorful enough for me. The Mexican Brown Rice was not really great, that was more difficult to finish. My bet is that the white rice would be a lot more flavorful! I would try some of their sauces again, but not sure about the microwaveable rice (to be fair, I haven't yet found one that's super stellar from any brand!).

I really love this brand. It’s a little pricey but makes it so easy to make a delicious meal at home in under 15 min which I appreciate

Far exceeded my expectations! The rice, corn, and flavor was amazing! Just wish the packaging was compostable.

Pretty good but not great. I'd say they were tasty and a quick and easy meal but weren't anything special. I'd recommend trying for yourself though, as the ingredients are good.
