Love it! Never heard of Cafe Rio. But I got a Puerto Rican background and these taste great! Just served with rice and a steak.

Made it from memory–delicious too! I mixed in some pre-cooked brown rice and served with chicken enchiladas with green sauce (green chicken just sounds wrong).

Very easy and tasty–didn’t even bother printing out the recipe! I mixed some pre-cooked brown rice (from Trader Joe’s) in with the black beans for the last few minutes of cooking and served them with chicken enchiladas (with green sauce). Wonderful.

I love these beans, even if they aren’t quite the same as my beloved Cafe Rio. They are DELICIOUS. Even my black bean disliking husband enjoyed them!

I just made these for dinner. I didn’t have any tomato sauce, so I ended up using RoTel instead, but I’ll tell you it was completely delicious anyways! It was so great eating such a cheap, healthy, delicious meal!! I will definitely be making this again. My husband even loved it, and he MUST have meat.

Mighty tasty beans! Veeery similar to Cafe Rio but not exact, but if you’ve never had the Cafe Rio version, and don’t crave it from half a continent away, these are delightful.

My whole family LOVED these beans! My hubby was laid off and so we are eating inexpensively and these beans are just that but also SO good!
