I think this chain is mostly out west but I went to the one in Portland, ME with my sister and am now a huge fan. This is very similar to the rice that they use in the burritos and salads. Yummy!

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I still really enjoyed this rice. The flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
