I wish I had read reviews, but why would I. Been buying this brand for years. Opened up the can, all this liquid surfaced to the top, which was odd to me since never did before.I drained it out. So, I heated them up, me and my elderly mom put in a tortilla wrap. Added some other stuff inside. Halfway thru, I am tasting sourness. I tasted beans on their own and tasted weird. I threw out the rest if it. Mom continued to eat hers.Thought it was me, but after reading all reviews, it's not.The can has an expiration date of 2023. Did not realize new recipe or whatever was in play. Yuck@

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my favorite brands of refried beans is old El Paso I think they have the best flavor and there the most authentic! I recommend this product it’s a 10/10 for me and I’m sure others would agree with me as well. If you haven’t tried this brand yet, you need too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brand is very good. With all canned beans, we always cook for awhile to take away the canned taste. We also add diced onions and taco sauce to these refried beans, and towards the end we add cheese until melted. These beans are consistently great!

The old recipe shouldn’t have ever been changed!!! I really can’t understand how these beans are supposed to be better now. They are watery like soup and lacking in flavor. I am highly disappointed in the recipe change and I will Not but these anymore. It’s aweful to change something like this when my family has enjoyed them my whole life. You could’ve made a new type of bean to please customers that didn’t like them and named it different instead of changing the original recipe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We like this product with our tacos. While my husband isn't a fan of beans, my girls and I fill our tacos with the beans and just a little taco meat on top. I haven't tried any other recipes with refried beans in them but I am definitely going to take a look on how to incorporate them more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are good, basic refried beans that make a great base for all kinds of dishes. The texture is pleasing and the flavor is mild so they can be seasoned to taste depending on what the dish requires.

[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

The "new" refried beans are awful! I would wonder who you surveyed to warrant a change in your recipe as I have seen nothing but terrible reviews about your new formula. We use to love Old El Paso Refried Beans...now I gag just opening the can! It literally smells like dog food and not one person in my family will eat them anymore. I have tried adding different things (taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, cheese, etc) to help with the flavor...but still disgusting . I will not be purchasing anymore. You ruined a good thing.

I always bought the vegetarian. My husband got these. Very peculiar taste. I can only think cooked in rancid lard. Tastes like bad boar meat. I cannot kill the funny taste with pepper, chili powder, chili lime, etc. Vgetarian never had bad taste. I'm just going to make my own from kidney& black beans.Don't worry I'll still use your enchilada sauce. Don't change it, please.
