SOMOS reviews and discussion

Makes prepping a good meal easy. Flavorful, cost effective, I enjoy it!

It was delicious. I tried Mexican street corn flavored rice. Tons of corns in the rice and textures were great. It's very filling!

I really enjoyed the ease and convenience of these. A great pantry pull and rather flavorful compared to alternative brands.

I tried the Mexican street corn style rice. I'd say it is a little better than competing brands (seasoned better, corn more roasted), but it's also almost twice the price. It's good, just not good enough to pay double.

I really enjoyed the fajita rice and thought it tasted great out of the bag. The refried black beans tasted good but I thought the texture was a little weird, almost a little too thick. Overall though I enjoyed these products and would consider buying them again.

I love that the package can be ratio for 1 to 2 servings and that its gluten free, non gmo, and plant based. It pairs well with anything. However my biggest issue is The Mexican Brown Rice package has 510mg of sodium per serving. Which is alot. That means I’d have to limit or not have any other sodium for the rest of the day. Not to mention those with sodium restrictions wouldn’t be able to eat this. If there were options with less sodium this would be a great addition to my pantry.

This is tasty- in a market with so many different kinda of rice. This one stood out. It was easy to make and I would highly recommend it. The only dig i would say is it is very sticky.

Tried the Somos rice and beans for the first time tonight. All I can say is that it was super tasty and such a life saver. Had it on a busy weekday night which not only saved me on time but also my picky 18 month baby ate everything. So overall it was a win!

Delicious. The rice is quick and easy to heat up on the pan. The flavor profile is good. I tried multiple of their rices, and they're so good.

Easy and great flavor to go with protein and veggies

I’m sure these taste great but I wouldn’t know because I couldn’t get myself to open the jar, it’s sooo tightly sealed 😅

I loved the Mexican street corn somos rice. It had good flavor and was nice and fluffy. The black beans however left much to be desired. Will definitely buy rice again for flavor and convenience.

I tried SOMOS's al pastor taco simmer sauce and Mexican street corn white rice for an easy taco night at home. The sauce was much better than I expected it to be: it had a nice balance of spices; the amount included in the jar was generous compared to other simmer/cooking sauces I've tried; and it provided a simple way to elevate an otherwise basic meat- and corn-based dish. The rice, on the other hand, was just okay. While better than most microwavable rice packets, the Mexican street corn rice was lacking in flavor, and the texture seemed a bit off to me. The portion size is also a bit small for what seems like a premium price for a microwavable rice product—only $.50 less than the simmer sauce. I'll definitely try some of the brand's other cooking sauces and salsas but will probably skip the rice and bean products.

there was mold in the lid

I liked the varieties but thought the flavor could be a bit stronger. Will give another flavor a try.

These were super easy to heat up and eat. Flavors were good, I think I enjoyed the street corn more. However for both rice package, the top part looks really mushy, like it's been compressed, so it threw me off. However I do enjoy the flavors.

Easy mole sauce instantly elevates any boring chicken, bean, or rice dish. I liked the consistency and the ingredients. Not wild about how sweet it was - definitely more sugary than a traditional mole recipe.

Very nice to have as a quick meal starter. I've very much enjoyed adding these to tacos and burritos and bowls. Not too salty and flavorful!

Oh yeahhhhhh, this rice and sauces are to die for! I love that I can just use them with my vegan fake soy and it tastes awesome! Kicka$$!

Savory and slightly spicy but very flavorful! I used one jar to make ground beef tacos and they were DELICIOUS and the second jar I used to make chiliquiles and OMG it’s my new fave way to make them!
