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.

  • This was just ok- I think of a few other options I would select first. The seasoning didn’t hit right for me?

  • Delicious and easy meals! We really enjoyed the rice packet (tried both the red rice and corn flavors). Super easy (microwavable) and make for a tasty quick meal. The jarred taco simmer sauce is versatile, mild and flavorful to help dress up some sauteed vegetables.

  • If you love salsas for your Mexican dishes or fajitas Somos is very good and tasty. They have variations on heat and also make one with cheese.

  • I have tried both the Somos Mexican black beans and the spicy refried beans. Both varieties are so delicious and taste like homemade beans and the best part is that they take minimal time to warm up in the microwave. I will definitely buy this line of beans again and I can’t wait to try their other products.

  • My kids really liked this! We had street tacos and this was an easy add on to the side. They enjoyed the roasted corn with the rice.

  • Not the best rice. I have had better prepackaged rices and this one was too dry and hard

  • It was too salty and had a lot of grease. I would have preferred something less seasoned with less calories and salt

  • I tried the Mexican Street Corn White Rice and it was delicious! It tasted fresh like it was just made. The whole pieces of corn were perfect and no mush. It was seasoned perfectly. Highly recommend as a side dish

  • Overall I was super excited to try this product. I’m pretty bad at cooking rice myself so I’m always looking for easier alternatives. However this product was somewhat overpriced and very salty. It was also very mushy.

  • I generally thought there products are quite tasty, yet a little steep in cost. I had a BOGO offer, but I think I might buy them even without it.

  • I made beef and black bean enchiladas with the red enchilada sauce. It was absolutely delicious with just the right amount of spice. I'm looking forward to trying the other sauces.

  • I love how easy it is to heat these up to use for a quick side for dinner. I made some tacos and heated these up for my sides and they tasted delicious. The price for these are also not bad which would incline me to purchase again.

  • Very convenient and easy to prepare a meal. Combined flavor and nutrition

  • I liked the flavor and the pieces of corn in this, but the rice itself was dry/stuck together so I added some Tia Lupita Salsa Macha and the oil from that made it easier to eat.
