Considering I'm mildly Puerto Rican
, decent yellow rice was never hard to procure
Also being in NYC, I'm spoiled for choice
Add beans, chicken (arroz con pollo), or coconut (if your into that)
I haven't had Arroz con gandules in ages
Packets of Sazon seasoning added to regular long grain white rice (Canilla iirc) is good, Goya sells it all in one box if you don't want to buy a big bag
Considering I've sat around the table at Titi's house in suburban San Juan, and had yellow rice/chicken stew made up from scratch
...the seasoning packet and well made white rice is 8/10 as good
She said it's good, so I'm not inclined to argue with her
It may not have the love, but she's 80 something and she shouldn't be man handling the big bag of rice anymore
Of course my only expertise is of more caribbean hispanic food (DR/PR/Cuba)
If your looking for Mexican or Spain offerings, there's plenty good there too
