Review: Quick & Flavorful Mexican-Style Rice — Perfect Easy Side - How It Tastes Most reviewers find the flavor good with a classic Tex-Mex vibe — rice seasoned with bell peppers, smoked paprika, kidney beans, and a bit of mild spice. It’s well-suited as a side with tacos, burritos, or grilled meats, and the Mexican-style spices give it more character than plain rice. That said, several people note the spice is a bit stronger than expected. If you’re serving kids or someone with low spice tolerance, it might feel hotter than “mild.” ⏱️ Convenience One of the biggest perks reviewers mention is how fast and easy this rice is. It cooks right in the pouch in about 60 seconds in the microwave — no extra pots, pots, or dishes to wash. That makes it great for quick weeknight meals, lunch on the go, or when you just want a simple side without prep. 🍚 Texture & Quality The texture is generally described as good — not mushy or overly soft. It holds up well after heating and pairs nicely with protein and sauces. Some users treat it as a base and add additional toppings (like shredded cheese, beans, or salsa) to boost flavor and make it more filling. 👍 Pros • Quick & Easy: Ready in about a minute — perfect for busy days. • Flavorful: Good Mexican-style seasoning that pairs well with Tex-Mex dishes. • No Mess: Heats in the pouch with minimal cleanup. 👎 Cons • Spice Level: A few reviewers think it’s spicier than “mild” advertised. • Basic: Some say it’s not gourmet — it’s a dependable side, not a standout entrée. ⭐ Summary Overall, this Old El Paso microwavable Mexican-style rice Review: really good flavor - it's a good buy, works well as an ingredient. never tried it by itself though ## Features - SOUTHWEST STYLE FLAVOR: An enticing recipe of long grain white rice, green bell peppers, sweet corn, and spicy seasoning - QUICK AND EASY: Follow the simple steps on package for perfectly heated spicy, southwest style rice, ready in about 60 seconds - PANTRY STAPLE: Keep your pantry stocked with pouches of Old El Paso Microwavable Rice for a sensational side dish or recipe ingredient that delivers all the taste without all the hassle - ENDLESS OPTIONS: Pair this microwavable rice with Old El Paso Tex-Mex Style Pinto Beans or Santa Fe Style Black Beans, tacos, and burritos; Add it to your favorite Mexican-inspired recipes - CONTAINS: One 8.8 oz pouch of Old El Paso Microwavable Spicy Southwest Style Rice; 1 serving ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CRSQNVYV | | ASIN | B0CRSQNVYV | | Age Range Description | Adults | | Allergen Information | Almonds, Cashews, Milk, Peanuts, Sesame Seeds, Soy, Wheat | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,112 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #41 in Packaged Seasoned Rice | | Brand Name | Old El Paso | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (343) | | Flavor | Spicy Southwest Style | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046000137575 | | Item Form | Rice | | Item Package Weight | 0.24 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | GENERAL MILLS SALES INC. | | Manufacturer | GENERAL MILLS SALES INC. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 2.95 x 5.51 x 7.08 inches; 8.29 ounces | | Size | 8.8 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 046000137575 | | UPC | 046000137575 | | Unit Count | 8.8 Ounce | | Units | 8.8 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Allergen Information:** Almonds, Cashews, Milk, Peanuts, Sesame Seeds, Soy, Wheat - **Brand:** Old El Paso - **Flavor:** Spicy Southwest Style - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00046000137575 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package Weight:** 0.24 Kilograms - **UPC:** 046000137575 - **Unit Count:** 8.8 Ounce ## Images ![Rice, Spicy Southwest Style, Microwavable Pouch, 8.8 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LkSIyDO4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick & Flavorful Mexican-Style Rice — Perfect Easy Side *by C***L on December 28, 2025* How It Tastes Most reviewers find the flavor good with a classic Tex-Mex vibe — rice seasoned with bell peppers, smoked paprika, kidney beans, and a bit of mild spice.

It has a very good flavor, for a something I thought could be spicy, but its not, and it didn't upset my stomach which was a plus. If you have a small family of 3, it would make a nice side dish, to just add some chicken chunks, vegetables, to go along with a main dish. Or you could make a rice casserole, out of this rice pouch. I can envision a stir fry, adding green peppers, onions and mushrooms. Drizzle some cheese on top for a snack with some chips and crackers. Its an easy open pack to use and a good quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Old El Paso Rice, Spicy Southwest Style, Microwavable Pouch, 8.8 oz - Old El Paso Rice, Mexican Style Rice, Microwavable Pouch, 8.8 oz - Old El Paso Black Beans, Santa Fe Style, Microwavable Pouch, 8.8 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/633098537-rice-spicy-southwest-style-microwavable-pouch-8-8-oz](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/633098537-rice-spicy-southwest-style-microwavable-pouch-8-8-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
