Cafe Rio's Lime Cilantro Rice

I have started quite the Cafe-Rio-inspired recipe collection on my blog, and with good reason, it is one of my favorite places to eat out at!
check out:

and

for the rest of the bunch!
Today, I have yet another great Cafe Rio recipe to share with you!

I know a lot of you have probably never heard of Cafe Rio.  It is a Mexican Restaurant that has some of the best food I have ever eaten.  I seriously crave it weekly!  If you have never been, or have been but have since moved away, try out some of these recipes!  You are going to love them!

This Lime Cilantro Rice is seriously SO good!  It works great for the Cafe Rio inspired salads and burritos, or maybe as a side dish to one of your own Mexican meals.  We LOVE this rice in our home, and I am sure you will too!
