SOMOS earns largely positive reviews for delivering flavorful, ready-in-90-seconds Mexican staples that make weeknight meals effortless, with standouts like Mexican Street Corn White Rice, chipotle and black beans, and enchilada and al pastor simmer sauces. Reviews also flag product drawbacks—occasional bland or mushy rice, high sodium, seed oils, tightly sealed jars, and sporadic off or “packaged” tastes—making the brand convenient and tasty but inconsistent across SKUs.

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.

Okay. I tried the cilantro lime rice. I really like that there's a convenience of being able to heat and serve rice directly from bag, thus limiting messing up multiples bowls, and pots to prepare rice. I also appreciate the shelf stability. Now, what is unexpected was the flavor. It did not taste like anything it stated on the bag. There was no cilantro flavor, no lime flavor. I am not sure what flavor, I know it wasn't cilantro lime. Not sure if I will try this again, but part of me would like to experience the other options of this brand.

I am from Mexico and I it is very difficult to find good Mexican food, I really liked the somos black beans, the taste is almost the same as the Mexican home made beans my grandma used to make, they were delicious, and I really like that they are easy to serve and heat up!.

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 mexican street corn rice. It was just okay. I wouldn't buy it again because it wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be.
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!).

Love the mexican chili crisp... It's a south of the border take on Fly By Jing and the OG chili oils. Somos is taking a fun approach to retail as well - their Chopt collab was great. I enjoyed ordering it in store, but what I really appreciate is that I can now make a professionally made salad at home (sort of).
I used their Mexican chili crisp nuts and seeds and they were delicious!! Very impressed how the blend was the perfect saltiness and you can put it into literally anything. I put it in my salad to use a little like a dressing and love it! Plus they are using avocado oil which is a healthier choice than taking in the conventional vegetable oils. Will get more once I'm done with this jar!
I am not a great cook. As such, I wanted to love this but felt a bit let down. The flavors did not hit like I had hoped and I did not even finish 1/4 of the package. That said, I love aesthetic package designs (a factor in my purchase) and Somos definitely does that well.
Far exceeded my expectations! The rice, corn, and flavor was amazing! Just wish the packaging was compostable.

he rice, corn, and flavor was amazing! Just wish the packaging was compostable. I tried the peacadillo, chipotle rice, and spicy refried beans, and I loved all of them. A lot of reviews cite a chemical taste in the rice, but I didn't get that at all

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.

We tried the Chipotle Refried Black Beans and Spicy Refried Beans. Both were tasty and went really well with some homemade Mexican bowls. This product is great for something that’s tasty and convenient. The downside is the price given the quantity of food.

I like this brand because of their nutritional value. My favorite thing that they sell are the rice packets in the microwavable bags. They make dinner so easy to make a night when I’m in a rush. The flavor is also very good.
