You are really trying to tell us that this formulation was a result of consumer reviews? Who the heck did you survey- people who don’t possess taste buds? This dreck is abominable. I have been buying your product for over 60 years. They used to taste just like the beans I get at my local Mexican restaurant. That place is run by a Mexican family. I figure they have a clue about how to make refried beans. Too bad you don’t. Are you all from NYC or some such place? Try feeding this product to folks down in west Texas or Albuquerque, New Mexico. I would advise you to sit close to the door unless you like riding a rail out of town. I used to purchase a number of your products, but after this experience I cannot trust you to provide an authentic taste experience. You should change your brand name so that your customers won’t expect any resemblance to authentic tastes. Tell your food taster to put up a sign - remember new Coke! Congratulations on losing loyal customers. Right after a pandemic too. Sheer marketing genius- not!

I have been eating the original recipe since I was a child and loved them! I opened this new can and immediately smelled different, I went ahead and heated them and tried to eat it on my burritos but it is just atrocious! Whoever decided to redo something that was great needs their taste buds checked because this new recipe has the scent of pee on a San Francisco sidewalk in the summer and doesn't taste much better, please change it back. I will be trying other brands until these are fixed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Old El Paso Refried Beans to make bean dip to serve with tacos. I use my hand blender to make it smooth. I add some salsa and put it in a bowl. I top with sour cream, cheese and tidbits of tomatoes, green pepper and blank olives. Serve with tortilla chips. Yum.

Your new recipe has lost a customer. These beans - set to expire in March 2023 - tasted so awful I can still taste the disgusting metal taste almost an hour later. I am now just hoping I don’t get food poisoning. The only thing keeping my worries away is that there was SO MUCH liquid in the can that it most certainly would have been leaking out if the can had been compromised.

Every time I have bought this in the last year it has tasted “off“ it has an almost plasticy oily taste to it and overpowers anything you put it on. It stays in your mouth for hours. I thought That maybe the store just got bad shipments, but I guess the company changed recipes. Let Gordon Ramsey taste this and critique, because these beans are not edible anymore. Please change it back, or at least take the loss and formulate something better...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso refried beans have always been my favorite for taco nights and for making homemade dip. The seasonings are perfect with the right amount of salt. They kick up your burritos or even quesadillas up a notch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso traditional retried beans are as authentic Mexican as you can get. It has that Mexican flavor that you dream of. It pares easily with other El Paso products that gives you a taste of Mexico itself. Do your tastebuds a favor and try these exceptional refined beans.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent flavor and texture. My secret is to add a able spoon of water and a table spoon of butter for a smooth restaurant style bean. For a great dip add one small can diced green chillies, one 8oz cream cheese and 1 cup cheddar mix and bake at 400 till bubbly. enjoy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso refried beans taste most like traditional refried beans. I like the consistency. There was nothing I didn’t like. I use the beans mixed in with my ground beef taco filling and they are delicious.

[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
