I love this man. He is so down to earth, articulates his thoughts well and is so down to earth. He makes you feel like you are welcome any time.

I lost my mom when i was 17. Your mom reminds me so much of my mom. We are Native American but my mother looks identical to your mom. Same hair style too. I love when shes in the videos❤❤

I’m a whiteboy and I loveeeeeee Mexican rice so much. When I was a kid my moms best friend was Mexican and she made me rice alllll the time I just feel in love with it. Unfortunately my mom recently passed away and her best friend passed a few years back. So now I have to buy it but these videos sure do help thank you so much. God bless

I used this recipe along with my cast iron pan and made Mexican rice successfully for the first time in my life (38 years) I'm Mexican and have been ashamed that I couldn't make rice correctly. Now I can make beautiful fluffy Mexican rice. Thank you mama 💕

After listening to your mom talk about her recipe for about 20 seconds I knew I could trust her. She mentioned the details of her experience and that is invaluable! Thank you Arnie and Mama!

The fact my wife, who is WAY more traditional Mexican American than I am just asked me to make this rice for our daughters birthday party says it all 😊 thanks Arnie and Moms!

Ah am I the only one crying,😭😭😭 his mommie is so sweet and beautiful she has the voice of an angel, I miss my mom so much!! She has been in heaven 16 years so so long, I love this beautiful video, I bing watch all these family videos with Arnie and his sweet beautiful mom!! Love you two!! Much love, Migos!! 💫💫💫💫💫😋😋💯💯

I had a Mexican-American coworker who's parents came to California in the late 1960s. She said her mother always had a batch of Mexican rice and pot of pinto beans in the fridge. She made them once or twice a week and kept them on hand. She said they were the basis of all their meals.

I've made this recipe twice and will continue to do so. It's very heavily spiced for my tastes so I made my variation. First of all, I always brown the rice in bacon fat, something my Grandmother taught me to do. "Brian, why use store-bought oil if you have bacon fat? Waste not, want not." I stopped pointing out the negative health ramifications of saturated fat and sodium when she turned 70 and was still going strong. I use her pan that supposedly crossed America in a wagon, the pan my mom waited for and never got. I add an additional 1/4 cup of rice and bump the chicken broth by 1/2 cup. Cumin can be overpowering to me so I only use 1/4 tsp. Everything else is the same. It's perfect for me and my tastes now. I love how the rice will just fall out of the pan with almost nothing sticking when fully cooked. The additional 1/4 cup of rice makes a little larger portion which is good. Some day I will try to cook a double batch in the pan and see how it cooks. You can never have too much Mexican rice, but then I love rice and cheese omelets when I have a hangover. Everyone stay safe.

Both of my parents were not cooks so everything I have learned about how to cook has been from the kindness of people on YouTube. Thank you 1000 times. Cannot wait to try this out! Send my love to your family. <3

My Mom's people are from the Mississippi Delta country. Their wisdom is "leave the rice alone for about 15 - 20 minutes. Don't check it. Do nothing." Usually comes out perfect.

Please have mom share some more of her family recipes!

Thank you to all the Mexican friends in this world, y’all’s food is a gift from god

Is there anything better than momma cooking in grandmas cast iron? I can imagine the taste through the screen!love it

I love the way his mom says “watch the steam” just as if he was still a little boy.

One of my saddest regrets in life is not having my grandma teach me her mexican rice recipe...Your mom reminds me soo much of her! Thank you for this, I feel like this is my grandmas way of teaching me through your mom, seriously this is awesome, thank you

I just made it and with out a doubt, it was the best Mexican/Spanish rice I’ve ever had. Thank you.

As a proud Texan, SOUTH Texan, I appreciate this more than you know!!
