4 reviews for Trader Joe’s Salted Tortilla Chips Reviews
Rated 1 out of 5

These are the worst tortilla chips I have ever had. I tried them years ago and couldn’t finish the bag, and when my wife bought them again recently I decided to give them another try in case I misremembered, but nope — a combination of flavorless/bland and also “dry” tasting.

There’s nothing to these chips (and I don’t mean that in a good way). Very bland; had them at my friend’s house and didn’t even want to take any more after trying a few, even with a good dip.

These chips really can’t stand on their own — when I tried it with the TJ’s five-layer dip they were a little more okay, but I would never again eat them by themselves, nor would I buy them again even to eat with dip.

I can definitely see where the other reviewers are coming from, because I remember trying these several years ago and thinking they were gross.
However, I revisited them again recently after having to switch to eating foods with less fat for medical reasons, and these seemed to be the lowest-fat tortilla chips that Trader Joe’s sells (7% of daily amount per serving, as opposed to closer to 15% like most of their other tortilla chips). This time around, I was pleasantly surprised. For being a healthier alternative (in some respects) to most of their other tortilla chips, these really aren’t bad. Now that I’ve been eating them more often, I actually find them pretty delicious. Also, even though they’re “salted,” the sodium count is still pretty low (2% of suggested daily intake per serving).
If you’re making your tortilla chip purchasing decision purely based on taste, you may want to try a different option. However, if you’re factoring in health or if you have digestive issues, these are a great tortilla chip option — both lower fat and higher fiber! As mentioned, somewhat of an acquired taste, because now I look forward to snacking on them and actively enjoy them.
