It is always a joy to see grown, mature children doing things with their parents.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Please have mom share some more of her family recipes!

[alexfuentez]

I love that he brings his mom to show her recipe. Everyone always says "No one cooks X Like my abuela". This is perfect to keep her recipe alive forever! I know this took some effort from her also cause I know my abuela NEVER measured any of her ingredients. lol

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

[RambofromWarzone]

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!

I’m a super gringo white boy but growing up working a dairy farm as a kid every morning it was fried eggs, chorizo, and Mexican rice from the night before. I tried this recipe and the smells and flavor brought me right back to those cold Pennsylvania mornings moving cattle and running equipment. Much love brother

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