8 Fritos Flavors, Ranked Worst To Best - Tasting Table
Briefly

Fritos have been a nostalgic snack since their creation in the early 1930s by Gustavo Olguin, who extruded masa dough and fried it. After selling the recipe to C.E. Doolin, Fritos became the iconic snack known today. Their distinctiveness leads to minimal competition. A taste test was conducted to evaluate flavored versus original Fritos, including the new Flavor Twists Lime & Jalapeño. The review reveals a strong lime flavor with a burning aftertaste from jalapeño, but these flavored Fritos do not meet expectations compared to the original.
The new Flavor Twists Lime & Jalapeño are fairly new, only coming to the scene in May of 2025. The first taste feels like it bites back. Tart lime explodes on the tongue, filling the mouth with a citrusy sourness.
Fritos has been around since the early '30's. They were first created by restaurant owner Gustavo Olguin by extruding masa dough through a potato ricer, then frying the strips.
