Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked restaurant caliber pinto beans. I've always liked eating this kind of pinto bean stew at our favorite Mexican restaurant which we used to eat at pretty often, then we couldn't eat there during COVID pandemic. We later found out it had relocated to a farther location. I tried and tried but couldn't make this at home, and always reluctant to buy canned beans due to use of preservatives and artificial ingredients. So excited to discover La Costena Whole Pinto Beans made with all natural ingredients and tastes awesome. My void and craving for this particular authentic Mexican pinto beans stew has been fulfilled.
