Metallic taste

Admittedly it has been awhile since buying this product. When my daughter needed soft foods after getting her wisdom teeth removed, I thought this would be a great source of protein. I was first disappointed by the texture. It’s very inconsistent but even worse was the taste. They had an awful, almost metallic taste and were inedible. I realize it could have been a bad batch but who wants to waste money taking a chance on a canned product being good? Definitely not the quality product I remembered them to be.

A shame they ruined a previously great product

I have been a loyal fan of Old El Paso beans for dozens of years -- a couple years ago the reformulated and really messed them up with runny beans. Then they introduced a new and 'improved' version (I contacted them on the first screw-up) that has the right consistency but a terrible tinny/metallic taste. We buy these in 6 packs - so very familiar with the product - I am officially done with this product - awful.

Lunch that’s fun food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A delicious easy way to add protein and fun. I like to make a small plate of Tostitos for lunch, First I spread around some of the refried beans then, spread around thin sliced lettuce and tomatoes, and finish with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. Delicious and nutritious.

Ole'!

[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 brand is completely what I only use for Mexican food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am the only one in our home that eat refried beans and this is the only brand I buy for them! I love the traditional ones! Not to runny and actually have full size beans in them too! Great flavor!

Has a chemical taste?

I just bought a can of these refried beans. I have eaten these many times throughout the years. I started panicking because when I took a bite it tasted like soap or bleach or something of that sort? I at first wondered if this was botulism but after doing some research and not having a damaged can, I see that within the last week there have been others who have stated that theirs also taste like chemicals! I don't know what is going on but I hope my boyfriend and I will be okay after taking a few bites. I'll probably be up all night worried about it.

Surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never tried fat free refried beans before and I was pleasantly surprised. It tastes so good! I use this on a lot of things. Wraps, potatoes, etc. Gives an extra layer of flavor and helps fill me up.

What happened??

The taste has completely changed to where they have an unusual salty flavor taste that takes over and I have had to change brands. I thought maybe I just got 1 bad can but I visited my sister in a different state and she had them for dinner one night and they still tasted horrible. What happened?? :(

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.

Texture is gross

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
