Central Market Totopos look incredibly legit

I grabbed a bag of the Guajillo Chile flavor and HEB has unlocked the cheat code.  I don't think they can be compared to El Patio since those are light and airy and these are thick and crunchy but your waistline isn't going to survive that one-two punch.

I liked the hatch flavor more than the guajillo but these chips are amazing in any flavor.

I need to find some of the Utz salt & vinegar.

I’ve tried those. They’re pretty weak. Lay’s s&v are still the most vinegary I’ve found. And Utz chips aren’t as crunchy either in my experience. But I did sort of like their Red Hot chips. They had a decent zing.

Amazon Prime is your friend.

Kettle Pepperoncini chips ($3.79 on subscription)

Ordered a couple of bags of these via Prime.  They won't stick around very long.  Wasn't that impressed with the first bite, but they really grew on me.  Now I will have to limit supply to keep them from actually growing on me.

I was hooked instantly.  When they're around the house, I find it hard to eat less than half a bag in one sitting.

Can confirm on those Utz Red Hots. Don't see them out this way very often, but whenever I'm back East, I pick up a bag or two at local 7-Elevens. Good stuff.

Tasty but disappointingly un-spicy. 

They’ve got more zip than the plain Voodoo chips, and also the Hotter ‘N Hot Jalapeño chips which have the added bonus of not tasting like jalapeño. At all. But I’ll still eat them. I’m really not even that big of a fan of kettle cooked potato chips but I buy Zapp’s from time to time and Voodoo Heat more than any of the others. They’ve got a little tang like salt and vinegar chips then some of the flavors found in Cajun/Creole spices like paprika, cayenne, garlic, and onion. They don’t have much of a kick but they’re still pretty dang tasty.

I haven’t seen Doritos Flamas at Kroger or Giant Eagle/Market District in awhile but I found them at Meijer today and bought a bag. I also found a bag of Tapatio flavor which I hadn’t encountered locally before and bought a bag of those. I’m taking them both to the potluck for us election workers at my polling location tomorrow.

I've found those to be hit and miss on the heat but not the flavor. They're consistently tasty. I've had times where the spicey/sweet jumps out at you, and time when they're just tasty. Imo, they are tasty enough that I'm okay with the varied level of heat.

It's a bit of a departure on this thread, but I TRY to lean a little Keto friendly. 

Wilde chips available from Amazon have a nice variety of flavors. If you like Buffalo flavor theirs is very consistently spicy and tasty. 

The BBQ and Waffle are interesting for sure. I personally go a different direction for salt and vinegar, but getting the mix bag might be worth a try. I've not tried the queso so.. they are also available at Krogers, not that anyone goes there, but at least it's usually open.

Sorry if these were discussed up thread. I admit I didn't read all 8 pages.

Damn, those are expensive.  $5.18 for a 2.25 oz bag at HEB.

Well the first ingredient is Antibiotic Free chicken breast which is a little more expensive than potatoes or corn.

Quest chips are pretty good too.

Yeah, I'm trying to find zero or low carb options for my wife, but she has recently gone "I must buy organic everything" and our grocery budget has skyrocketed.  I'm pretty sure she'd buy organic toilet paper if it were an option.

Ack.. yeah that shit will break ya. It doesn't say "Organic" but does have No Antibiotics or Hormones stamped all over.. I mean.. it's organic chicken.. right??

Edit - Has a lot of stamps.. gluten free, inspected, paleo, and.. wait for it.. NATIVE tapioca starch. Who doesn't love that?

I tried some of those buffalo chicken chips, maybe a different brand.  at first bite they were kinda interesting but after a few I was done.  thought they were strange and definitely not worth the price.  if you’re doing keto some things you just have to sacrifice.
