[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso refried beans are a staple in our pantry. We love to add them to burritos, layer dips, and taco salads, but they are also delicious when added to cheesy eggs and salsa wrapped in a tortilla! Another favorite recipe is to add them to your cheeseburger with some green chilis and pepper-jack cheese.

Gross! I opened up a can of these today on 6/9/21 and as they were heating up I thought omg they’re ruined, they smell awful! I went and checked the date on the can and it was 2022. They smell like they are spoiled. I tasted them and almost gagged! I thought well maybe it’s me…i had my son taste them and he said they smelled bad and tasted like wet paper. Will never buy these again. We use them for tostadas and have for years but we’ll have to find a different brand. Consistency is different too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH OLD ELPASO. We take these and mix with Jalepano bits and juice and spread on a soft taco shell, put shredded cheese on and put taco shells in oven to cook for about 15 minutes!

It should get a zero. We are long term users of Old El Paso traditional refried beans. There was NO TASTE and the texture wasn't cohesive and firm like usual. We thought it was spoiled. We have a few more cans and will ask for our money back and not purchase OEP again. Did no one check this? Also - unfair - in order to get refund - must have receipt - why would I keep one for a product I stock in my pantry? A really big mistake folks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to use Old El Paso refried beans when making beef, bean, and rice enchiladas. It works perfectly to spread on the tortillas before filling them and rolling / folding them up. One can is enough to make 2 batches of enchiladas- one to bake now and one to freeze for later. Yummy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would love this Very bland, no flavor, I had to add a lot to make them taste good enough for everyone to eat. Tastes like mashed up pinto beans and no other flavors. Texture is almost whipped, with some whole beans thrown in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I thought I would try this because of the convenience, I think that I could make a similar product at home having a little more control of the ingredients and quality that I might like better. The consistency I think is what I had a difficult time with but that is my own personal hang up. The flavors are all there.

I've always bought Old El Paso beans, but I just can't do it anymore. This new formula is disgusting. I find it hard to believe that they we getting customers desiring gritty beans with no flavor, but apparently they were l and changed the recipe. Please go back to the original 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.

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.
