An oasis in the food desert!
"La Preferida has been a staple in my home since childhood, and I'm delighted it's still around (and accessible!) now that I'm living on the East Coast. The fat-free refried beans have been especially wonderful, now that I'm going through some health issues that necessitate a low-fat diet. Both the flavor and texture are still wonderful, but please note that these beans are much thicker and more viscous than the traditional recipe—these beans still spread easily when fully heated but they do not reach the usual liquid consistency. A small price to pay for a calm stomach!"
My family's favorite for over 20 years
"As a group, we all had the need to switch to fat-free items whenever possible. That included our beans! These have the best flavor and taste like the original. Great to use in a recipe, too!!"
The BEST refried beans I've ever had!
"I've tried many different brands, but once I tried La Preferida Fat Free it became an instant favorite. (I've never bought another brand since then.) Both the quality and taste are excellent!"
Just beans and salt
"Finally! Refried beans without sugar, onion, garlic and other stuff.Love this product."
Dented
"Half the cans had large dents. Will not buy these again."
Seem to be able 2 get this only online
"My family really likes FF refried beans. We buy this product because my husband can't have onions due 2 stomach issues. This product delivers greatness & I will always buy however, when shopping I cannot find this type. All the other flavors are on the shelf but this one. I've resorted 2 buying online. Don't like that I get so many in a box but I've given some to other family members & it worked out."
Great! Only downfall: Price
"I love La Preferida!!! Ever since Target stopped selling them, I looked elsewhere. They taste amazing and aren't chunky (which is great for my baby)! Only downside is the price. I hope they lower it in the future."
and they are great!!
"Due to allergies, the only processed beans I can eat, and they are great !!"
Best Refried Beans
"These are hands down the best refried beans I have had and I have tried just about all of them. What makes them so good is that LaPreferida does not add "extra" ingredients like onions, peppers, or garlic. They taste fresh and delicious and you can add whatever you want or add nothing. They also come out of the can smoothly (a plus for quesadillas). Some refried beans come out of a can lumpy and tear up your tortillas- not these. Beans, water, and a little salt is what you get here and it is tasty as can be as well as a perfect ingredient for your Mexican dishes."
