 Tasty! and affordable on autoshipOct 13, 2011
By hpk3961
It almost seems silly to me to write a review on refried beans, but having recently started on the "4 Hour Body" slow-carb diet we are eating a lot of them. My wife has always favored mexican food, and the typical store-brand or name-brand refried beans smelled and tasted, well, not good. I would usually comment while preparing dinner that they looked exactly how I remembered canned dog food looked when I was feeding my dog as a kid, and smelled the same as well. So that's how we found Amy's, and I have to say they're the first refried beans that I actually enjoy eating. However in the retail stores they are around $3.20/can where I live with a slight discount for a case. I ordered these online and signed up for the monthly autoship since we eat them several times a week now, and the cost was around $27/case of 12, free shipping. I've tried a few other organic brands but to me Amy's still wins. Note that the low-sodium version has half the sodium as the regular version, and this seems to hold true for all of their low-sodium canned beans. The Organic black beans are also very good, better in fact to my palate.

Taste WonderfulJul 16, 2010
By R. Loeper-Viti
I had always used another brand of canned refried beans and switched to Amy's Organic because they were about the same price as my old brand, and I've come to prefer organic products when I can get them. I will not go back to my old brand. These refried beans taste like the pinto beans they are made with, and they have just enough onions, garlic, and other spices to complement the beans rather than overpower the flavor of the beans. As well, they don't seem as "heavy" as other beans that I've eaten. I will definitely buy these beans again.
I was disappointed, though, that most of the cans were dented and damaged. This doesn't seem to have affected the quality of the product, but it does seem odd that so many damaged cans were sent in one order. It seems to me that the shipper may be at fault here and may be sending the dented cans because it might be easier to cast them off on the internet-order crowd--they aren't as likely to return them as a shopper in a store would be not to buy them without a discount.

 Beans great, dented cans not.Sep 28, 2011
By C. Caceres
"BookMama"
These beans are super yummy. However, I was disappointed that when my last order arrived, 10 out of the 12 cans were dented. Several of my previous orders were the same way. Considering the potential health risks, I decided to just buy them at the store.

Taste bland, too soupy.Apr 25, 2011
By Steve Main
I bought these beans because Amy's products are organic, the company is highly rated on betterworldshopper.org, and the reviews here on Amazon are mostly positive. However, the product is rather bland and the texture is almost like bean soup. Even mixed one to one with Amy's whole pinto beans (drained) and cooked to thicken some, the resulting texture still makes a very messy burrito.

I really wanted to like these beansMar 28, 2011
By Ursiform
I like refried beans, but they tend to have a lot of salt added to them. I looked for low salt varieties, and this is the only one I found. I made my way through a couple of cans. The taste is pretty good. (I add a lot of salsa to my beans, so the salt doesn't matter much.) But I just can't accommodate the texture. It's neither like whole pinto beans nor like typical refried beans. It's just odd. In the end, I just didn't like these very well.
