Metallic taste

Very disappointed. I bought several cans for our weekly taco night and every single can had a metallic, almost fermented, taste. Even the smell was off putting. Right in the trash they all went. Hopefully your team will highly reconsider this “new” recipe and go back to the amazing taste and consistency of the original recipe.

Great product, Great taste

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] El Paso is my go-to for refried beans. They are consistently thick and taste amazing. We love to eat them covered in taco flavored cheese and onions and sour cream. They also are great as an addition to burritos and tacos.

Sorry guys! My Taco night was completely ruined

I was so looking forward to Taco night, thinking about it all day. One of my favorite ingredients is the tried and true Old El Paso Refried beans in the can. As soon as I spread it on the tortilla I thought I noticed something different about the texture, but didn't think much of it. After all, I was starving. Taking the first bite, I was shocked! I am so not a picky eater, but this took me by surprise. Immediately asked...."Did we use a different brand of beans? because these are disgusting!". I promise I'm not lying when I say this is the first time I've taken the time to wright a review of any sort. There is no way anyone can convince me that someone had the idea to change the recipe after tasting this. I get it, things happen, supply, yada yada yada.....but really? If it makes any difference, I will be double for a can of the old recipe if and when available. Until then, we will be tasting other brands! I trust lesson learned, however, please don't change anything else without having others taste first. Kind regards, Jason

We're so sorry to hear you had a poor experience with our beans and we appreciate your honest feedback. We transitioned to a new formula in Fall 2019 across all of our Traditional Refried Beans offerings. 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.

Great flavor and good consistency.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a taco/burrito night at least one a week. This is our go to choice for refried beans in our house. Always has a great taste and good consistency. You can’t go wrong with Old El Paso retired beans

Something has changed!

I don’t ever write reviews…..but these used to be my absolute favorite refried beans, and now I can’t even eat them!!!! The texture is different, and the taste- well, there really isn’t much of a taste any more!!!!!! I’ve started venturing out to find another brand to buy cause these are so horrible!

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.

party

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently had a 21st birthday party for my son in law. We used these refried beans and everyone thought we had the food catered. The beans cook easily and taste fantastic. Everyone loved them and I would recommend this product to everyone.

The best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best refried beans that I just have to heat and eat. A can mixed with a little bacon grease reminds me of the way my grandma made them. We use them in burrritos tacos and often as a side dish. I highly recommend these beans.

Inconceivably bad

Ever wonder just how bad a can of refried beans can be? Try Old El Paso and find out! I truly don't understand what went wrong with this can of mashed beans. They're not only bland, they're somehow also terrible. I tried adding some additional spices, even some minced onion, but nothing can mask the inexplicably bad flavor. Old El Paso, I don't know what you are doing to these poor beans, but please stop.
