  • Flavorful enchilada sauce richness
  • Convenient 90-second pouch format

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.

  • I tried the Mexican Street Corn with Rice variety and loved it as a base to my burrito bowl. It was super convenient to prep and added a tasty zest to the meal. It is on the pricier side, but appreciated Somos' authenticity, flavor, and meal-readiness.

  • I love SOMOS! They offer a variety of delicious and flavorful dishes that are perfect for any occasion. My favorite so far is the Somos Mexican Street Corn White Rice dish. It's so tasty and convenient to prepare! I love authentic Elote, and this is one of the closest pre-made products that I've come across, and I'm happy I did! I also tried the Black Beans which were tasty.

  • This product is very convenient for a quick meal. It tastes good just like chipotle rice. It goes well as a side too. Can be stir fried with favorite sauces to amp up the flavor.

  • I picked up the cilantro and lime rice. I already had planned to make a Chipotle bowl with it. The whole family finished their bowl. As a mother I was very pleased to see my toddler and picky 5 year old finished their dinner.

  • The flavors are definitely very close to home for me. I enjoyed the Mexican street corn white rice along with the black beans for a wonderful vegetarian meal that was packed with flavor and protein. Both items came in ready to heat pouches that were very easy to handle and enjoy on the go.

  • I enjoyed the convenience, backstory behind the brand, packaging and good ingredients. I liked the roasted corn, but I felt the flavor was lacking and the consistency felt mushy.

  • One of our family favorites! My boys (17, 16, and 15) are absolutely obsessed with both the black bean and refried bean pouches. They are so good as a side or straight out of the bag.
