"I ordered these because of one of the previous reviews. Yes, they do make the best refried beans. I empty the can of beans along with the juice and simmer until I get the consistency that I prefer then mash them. Yum!"
The ONLY brand of pinto beans I will EVER buy!!!
"La Preferida are the only beans I will EVER cook with! I have been using them for over a decade. When I moved I couldn’t find a store that sold them so I emailed the company and they got back to me very quickly to help me find local stores. Even the Vice President of the company emailed me in spanish to make sure I found what I needed! I’m even more in love with the brand now. I will never buy any other brand, as no other brand makes my frijoles turn out exactly how I like them."
