Great product!
"I ordered a case of the La Preferida refried beans because the local grocery stores were constantly out or only had 1 or 2 cans. They arrived in a cardboard box, and there were 12 cans, 4 of which were dented (they were not on the edge of the package but in the center, so they must have been dented when they were placed in the shipping box) but none were dented sufficiently to compromise the canning seal, so still useable. I've tried other brands of refried beans, and there is absolutely no comparison. I would absolutely buy again!"

"Best of all."
Ordered beans and got nacho cheese and can’t return or replace?????
"The beans are good, if you get them"
La Perferida Authentic Refried Pinto Beans
"These are the good natural kind, with a wonderful rich taste and not a bunch of extra ingredients. I just love these beans. My secret is frying them in salted butter and topping them with chopped vidalia onions. Maybe even sprinkling with some shredded Sargento Authentic Mexican Cheese. So good!"
These tastes as good as home made or from a restaurant.
"I bought these as suggested by a recipe and was blown away by how good they are! I purchased 6 of them in March and I'm already reordering 12 in May! I frequently make my own but this is so good I'll just buy this brand."
By far the best refried beans around.

I keep getting dog food instead.... The beans are good when they send the right product.
"I have ordered this 12-pack twice and received dog food instead both times. Customer service says they are working on it and try ordering again in a week (today is 12/12/2020) . When the correct product is received, these are very tasty."
Great tasting refried beans. Just beans, water, lard, & salt. Nothing artificial.
"These beans taste like the ones at a little mom & pop Mexican restaurant. Half a can serving contains about 1/3 your daily recommended salt intake, and about 2 gm saturated fat, but a lot of taste and a lot of healthy plant protein and fiber."
