Ive bought these since my daughter was little in 2008. ever since the new recipe came out, they are horrible. Extreme metallic taste with bad after taste. smell reminds like either the oil or lard is rancid before packaging. No matter what I add (american cheese, taco sauce, seasonings, etc) nothing works to fix the bad taste. Please go back to the old recipe!!

We used to eat these frequently when we were first married. Absolutely loved them. Then something happened....I have given them three more tries and each time they lacked any flavor! I tried adding spices and it still doesn't fix the problem. They are inedible! I don't know why you would have changed something that was so good and made it taste horrible!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend this product. We use a lot of refried beans and I find these ones to be smooth and creamy. Sometimes we add a little water to them just to thin them out a little bit. We use them for tacos, taco salads, and Mexican casseroles. So yummy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great easy way to have beans for tacos that were already made and just needed prepared quickly to add to our taco bar. They were a hit with most of our guests. The consistency is great, and added another layer to tacos we don’t usually have. I would recommend these if you need them quickly in a pinch!

I was wondering why there were actually beans in the can. After seeing the reviews I realized the recipe was changed. I don't care for the new one at all! Refried beans have always been smooth, not chnky. Please change it back. I'm going to donate the case I just bought!

This new recipe metallically tasting refried beans ruined our favorite Christmas appetizer… very foul Metallicy tasting appetizers left a bad taste in our mouth’s for hours after we ate several pieces.. such a bummer, we bought and used 5 cans.. such a waste! If I could give zero stars I would!!

My wife and I heated up a can of refried beans and took a taste. Horrible chemical taste. We thought something was wrong with the can. Seriously, it tasted like we were poisoned or the liner of the can leeched plastic into the beans. Expiration date was fine. Glad, at least, to see others with this problem so we don’t panic that something is terribly wrong. Just horrible refried beans. Used to love them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Old El PasoRefried Beans are the perfect addition to a Taco Tuesday dinner. They taste great and are super eat to heat up in the microwave. For best constancy, place in microwave safe bowl and heat for 90 seconds, stir, and heat for an additional 90 seconds. Enjoy!!!

for the first time, these were terrible! They tasted watered down, poor taste and texture. I looked at the can, thinking: Did I buy no fat, no salt by mistake? No, but I did see: "New Recipe". They used to be good, but no more. I will try to avoid this label in the future.

We have had two experiences with Old El Paso refried beans this month. The first over the fourth of July weekend. I made tacos for my family and we love refried beans so I picked up a LG can. They tasted like chemicals or detergent had been added. So awful. And everyone was actually concerned we had gotten some tainted product and we were worried people might get sick. Thankfully we did not. Then tonight my daughter in law made a wonderful enchilada meal and added these beans as a side. We had written off our previous experience as a fluke and were greatly disappointed that these beans were the same! Seriously these are horrible. I will never buy this brand again. Y'all need to address this or these beans will not sell once people realize how bad they've become.
