"The best! I wish stores in Portsmouth, NH carried this product. I’ve been buying these refried beans for years. We are retired from the midwest, where they have the product. Also live in AZ in the winters where I buy the beans. Your sales people are missing an opportunity here in New England as what’s on the shelves here doesn’t compare. Need to get those samples out to public in in-store marketing."
"The only brand and style of refried beans my fanily will eat. After several trips to the only store where I can find these locally and finding them out of stock, I decided to look online. Now I can just keep a few cases on hand. Several of the cans were dented, but it doesn't hurt the contents."
