I have tried all those chips. Juanita’s everytime

[PeppermintTeaTime]

Santitas are my go-to. They’re especially good for nachos.

[digdug]

To get the best out of a store bought chips I have found that if you put them in the oven @350 for 5 minutes they come out both crisper and fresher tasting. Try it out. I'm not lying. 😊

I LIVE OR DIE BY JUANITAS

also for Utah a great brand is Don Julio, less greasy but greatly seasoned varieties

[antoniatallarico]

I live in NM. I'm spoiled. Nothing can beat a fresh right out of the fryer tortilla chip.

[bélalugrisi]

If you break off a chip in the Guac, you have to send in a rescue chip!

[Pnanasnoic]

I've been buying the Calidads for years and I am a tortilla chip nut. It's one of the few bargains left at the super market at just $2 a bag. They are great plain, as nachos, or dipped into nearly anything. Happy ATK agrees.

I but Juanita’s, Santitas, or Calidad. It totally depends on which is on sale when I’m shopping.

[Fishbone]

Fun Fact everyone, from someone who's worked in the Frito Lay plant. Santitas are the same raw ingredients and manufacturing lines as Tostitos but they just add significantly more salt to them than they do Tostitos to make you think it's different.

I just got home from shopping and I bought Santitas (yellow) which I tend to like the best out of years of experience. I got my salsa and opened the bag, and munched while watching this. 😋😜

[bertoray]

Best chips I've ever had were Juanita's when I lived in Oregon.

[tararow]

Late July are my absolute favorite, but I love a thinner crispy chip!

[rookiemvp]

This really should've been released before the superbowl!

[jimmyjoefine]

Just recently discovered the Calidad chips which are the only brand at my store that are made with corn masa, just like a good tortilla. They make awesome chilaquiles, too!

[ruthm]

Pacific North Westerner here, love Juantonio's! Also great to see Bryan in the kitchen again but hoping for another road trip!

[googused]

Juantonios/Juanitas are by far the best chip out there. Their biggest problem is consistency between batches. Sometimes you’ll get an oily bag, or an over or under salted bag.

[benjaminmalley]

As someone with taste buds, this ranking is insane. The idea that Tostitos are superior to Juanita’s is actually offensive

[terrihartlep]

I settled on one brand of Tortilla Chips to stick with & well pleased. Santinas Yellow Corn. The quality & taste is good along with great price even greater when on sale.

[OtseisRagnarok]

Juanitas are my go-to since I discovered them a few years ago. Absolute best chip out there.

I love both of you and have the deepest Respect. Thank you for taste test
