No taco dip is complete without this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These refried beans are great. I use them all the time in my taco dip. I mix 1 can with 1 pkg cream cheese and spread in the bottom of casserole dish. Add a layer of your favorite salsa and a little chopped cilantro. Next add a layer of taco meat and top with a Mexican cheese blend and bake 30 minutes at 350*. Server with tortilla chips, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives or whatever toppings you like.

Runny Horrible not suitable for consumption

This is the last can i will buy until the recipe consistency is changed i have been eating these since i was a toddler i i i I am now 39 yrs old. They are watery/soupy cant use for burritos or nachos or bean dip Awful. This brand was a family staple at our table. Its sad we will have to change after all these years

Used to be THE BEST!

My family used to buy this for years when I was younger and I continued to as I had my own family. I would even eat just a can of it for dinner it used to be THAT GOOD !! But I hadn’t had it in while and so I bought it again, I believe right when they changed the recipe because It tasted terrible and nothing like it usually does, I tried to look it up online and see if the recipe had changed as it seemed odd for it to taste so bad. It wasn’t until I tried again a month later it said new recipe on the can and still that nasty taste that I realized why it was different. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD RECIPE !!! I, and so many others, will buy MULTIPLE cans!!! I’m not sure what “consumers” you all had taste it that didn’t like the original flavor but there’s no way you had regular customers tell you it was not a good flavor. They probably only like plain beans with no flavor which they should get a different brand if GOOD flavor was a problem to them. I’m so disappointed I have to get Walmart’s great value brand because it tastes better than the new recipe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this Brand to make Enchiladas, as they were out of the Brand I usually buy. These were so much better. Loved the texture, taste, not much oil was in the can. Other brand, I would have to strain the oil out before heating them up. I will definitely be purchasing this Brand from now on!

Two cans of very runny beans

I bought two cans of traditional refried beans dated 2025. Both of the cans were extremely watery and runny. We were unable to eat them and I can’t take them back for a refund. Is this a problem with the manufacturer or the handling of the product? Please advise. Not a happy customer.

Beans are watery out of the can

Been buying these for years and the contents always dump out in a congealed mass that I heat and stir into a pasty, substance like beans would be if you mashed them up. Today they poured out. Didn't seem to have a bad smell, but I ended up throwing them out as I didn't want to take a chance. More like a bean soup than refried beans.

Old El Paso

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love old el Paso’s refried beans for taco night with my family. I usually heat them up throw a little seasoning to my liking stir in some queso fresco and once cooked top it off with some More queso fresco. Heat up some corn tortillas spread the refried beans and add my meats veggies etc etc and we have the perfect taco

Why???

I grew up with your refried beans.52 years old.I ate them as a child.I have only ever bought Old El Paso refried beans.Ever.I have never tried,or even wanted to try,another brand. Until now. I thought something was different in the texture,the taste,the look.Thought it might be a weird batch.No.The next can and the next can.Different,and not in a good way.I did not realize that you had changed the recipe until I came here and found out what happened. I guess there is nothing that can be done now, so go ahead and give me the generic reply you have given everybody else,and pass this information on to the team. Obviously, brand loyalty is not really important to you. You say you changed the recipe in direct response to consumer feedback. Well, look at all the feedback being given to you by the people who regularly buy your product, and have taken the time to come here and let you know.Look at these responses.Overwhelmingly negative. I like trying new things and do not fear change, so goodbye Old El Paso.Thanks for a wonderful 52 years.I will be moving on to another brand.

Beans for the win!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso Traditional Refried Beans is a favorite of mine. Every can is a perfect solution for a delicious lunch or snack. The bean consistency is thick but not too thick and the beans are evenly mashed. I use my for nachos, 7-layer dip, or inside a tortilla. Delicious every time!

What happened?

We have been buying the traditional refried beans for years and now the flavor is AWFUL what did you guys do. We couldnt even eat them tonight that's how bad the flavor was. Not to mention they looked horrible too. We checked the expiration date and we still had 2 years so I cant blame that.
