New Recipe is Terrible

I bought these a while back, and until I opened the first can, I didn’t realize I had opinions on refried beans. To me, in general, refried beans are always tasty, reliably delicious. Now, I realize how wrong I was. The cans said New Recipe! My entire family, with the exception of the 9 month old baby (who doesn’t know any better!), refuses to eat it because it’s gross. If you can put it inside something that will mask the flavor, it’s adequate, but otherwise, don’t waste your money. Get some beans that actually taste good.

reply from Old El Paso

We're so sorry to hear you had a poor experience with our beans. We will definitely share this insight with our team for improvements. This formula change was made in direct response to consumer feedback regarding the dissatisfaction of the color, flavor, and texture on the previous product. The new recipe has a more rounded, savory refried bean flavor; that allows the bean flavor to really come through.

Quick and Acceptable addition to any meal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I buy and use this style and brand of refried beans for my Mexican-style baked dîshes. It holds up well to the heat and mixing/stirring, plus I can choose to not use additional added salt for my dish; the sodium in this product is rather high. For a stand alone side dish of beans the flavor is a little bland so I prefer to use a different brand or make my own pinto beans from scratch and “refry.” I recommend this product for the cook that’s short on time or new to the kitchen and looking for a quick and acceptable ingredient or addition to their meal.

Tasted terrible

I just make steak nachos and put your decried beans on the chips before topping and broiling. we spent an hour making guacamole, chopping ingredients and cooking the steak- they looked magnificent for our nacho night! One bite and I told everyone to stop and taste the beans, they tasted like a sour wet sponge smells…it was terrible. We fished out the can to inspect it closer- if I could guess what botulism tasted like I was sure it was this! It’s so foul I threw dinner away VS risking poisoning my family. What a waste. I actually looked up refried bean recall and then searched the internet for old El Paso refried beans to find these comments- hard to believe you haven’t resolved this, will not ever purchase again and maybe you should do something different than your courtesy response like go grab a can out of the warehouse and give it a try- GROSS

Bad tasting and watery

Ugh, I ordered this because I wasn't seeing the Rosarita beans listed at the time. I figured, how hard can it be to mess up refried beans. The beans are watery (like literal liquid in the can when opening it) and have a weird taste. Now I need to find someone to take 5 cans off my hands. Thank goodness the Rosaritas showed back up.

Top Refried Beans Brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a major fan of refried beans though I prefer them alongside rice and with a little queso on top. These taste exactly like the kind you get in restaurants though, so I'd def recommend if you enjoy them. This is the go-to brand.

Convenient Meal Addition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso Traditional Refried Beans were a convenient addition to our pulled pork nachos. I cannot speak as to how they would be on their own, but with additions such as cheese, salsa, and jalapenos the beans contributed to a tasty dish.
