Overall, this was a decent dish. It wasn't the best Spanish rice I've ever had, but it was still good.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

The rice was a little mushy for my liking. I would have preferred it to be cooked a little less.

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. I would have liked it more if it had more spices.
