Delicious, versatile and healthy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Delicious beans! I eat them by themselves or with cheese melted over them. I also like to spread them in between a flour tortilla and a corn tortilla and then make a taco that way. I recommend this product.

OMG

Something very bad has happened to these. I've used these beans for decades but the last few cans I bought were inedible. I ruined a labor-intensive dinner for guests. Inedible and embarrassing. I thought they had gone bad or something. Opened the rest of the cans I bought to check- all of them taste horrible, like botulism-level horrible. Something is wrong.

Muy Bien

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love to add these to a taco salad. Gives that added flavor plus more protein. Depending on the store I purchase the can at, sometimes the can isn’t full. Not sure if the manufacturer gets lazy at some point during the process but a few times the can has been shorted.

New Recipe Tastes Horrible

Old El Paso was my go-to brand for traditional refried beans. Now since they changed their formula, they have a weak and runny texture and taste terrible. They taste like severely watered-down beans and perhaps cardboard. I don't understand how your company took a superior brand and made it into a bad tasting generic refried beans product on purpose. I'm curious to know the real story - this could not have been done due to customer requests as stated. We noticed a change several cans ago but thought the inferior taste was because of a bad bean season or something, so we gave it another chance to see if that got straightened out. After heating up a can of your Old El Paso Traditional Refried Beans last night, we thought they were spoiled they tasted so bad, but they were not expired and the can was in good shape. We are switching brands now, so sorry to lose our go-to brand.

Terrible!

I bought these and the green chili ones to use in burritos. The green chili ones tasted and smelled fine. When I opened the traditional however, ugh! It smelled like plastic and tasted even worse! I had to throw it out and all the burritos I had made with them. The green chilling ones were fine for some reason-smelled good, tasted fine. Seriously, I didn’t expect to be completely grossed out by refried beans, but here we are…

Extremely odd taste

Quite runny even if you mix it back up after it separates. Terrible taste, I have no idea if it's a weird additive or a strange process, but either way it's got a decently strong plastic or chemical taste for some reason? Little to no taste of refried beans at all, it just *looks* the part, except too runny. Far more likely to make you sick than satisfy you, the first words out of my mouth when I tasted this is "that's foul". This was so inferior to the generics I've had that it's hard to put into words. I had two large cans that were both opened up shortly after purchase and they were both this way. Will be avoiding Old El Paso whenever possible now because in my mind if you manage to put out a product *that* bad, then how much could you really care about your other stuff?

Excellent choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso Refried beans are my first go to when I am needing to purchase refried beans for Mexican dinner night. They have a wonderful flavor and great texture and consistency. They always have a good mixture of chuck bean pieces to the creamy well blended beans, they also have just the right amount of oil mixed in to keep them moist.

A Pantry Staple For Sure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso Traditional Refried Beans have been our family’s ‘go-to’ pantry staple for a while now. I have found that it is closest to the refried beans we have had at most restaurants in comparison with the other brands. My kiddos love it and honestly as someone who hails from the southwest, the taste of this brand of refried beans is on point! We will continue to buy as long as it stays on grocery store shelves!

Great taste, smooth, and creamy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I won't buy anything else but Old El Paso. They have a great taste and they are creamy unlike the generic which is lumpy and tastes like the meatal can that it came out of. Yes, Old El Paso is a little more expensive, but it is so worth the money.

What the heck? Is this refried soup?

Like many others I have used OP Refried Beans for years. I must have been luck to keep getting the "old" recipe cans of late. Recently my last two cans were very watery. Needless to say I am dissatisfied and will move to a new brand. Adios Old El Paso!
