by Editors of the Hartford Courant
Twelve tortilla chip brands go head to head in this tasting. Nature's Promise Natural Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips are substantial and full of corn flavor, but editors refer to them as a store brand, so we're… not sure if they're available nationwide. Tasters felt that Frontera chips packed plenty of corn flavor, but they were under-salted. Santitas were well liked, if a bit "greasy." Whole Foods' 365 Organic Chips are "run of the mill," lamented testers. This review is the most recent we found.

Real Simple's panel tasted 14 tortilla chips brands, one of which fared far better than the others: Tostitos Natural Yellow Corn Chips. Green Mountain Gringo Tortilla Strips earned second prize for being… "blander" than the winner. Santitas White Corn Triangles and Bravos Crispy Rounds both failed the bean-dip challenge (they broke under the dip's weight). Editors take it for granted that tortilla chips will be paired with dips, not eaten plain. We wish that they had recommended a chip that's good enough to eat out of hand.
by Editors of Cook's Country
Editors sample nine brands of tortilla chips and find that they prefer "light and crispy," fine-textured chips over coarser chips made from stone-ground corn. Among the brands tested are Santitas Authentic… Mexican Style White Corn Tortilla Chips, Tostitos Restaurant Style Chips and Natural Tostitos Yellow Corn Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips. Only subscribers can access this report, which, like the Consumer Reports review, is fairly dated.
by Editors of Eating Well
Editors at Eating Well taste six brands of tortilla chips (some baked, some fried), crowning R.W. Garcia Stone Ground the winner. Not only did they have a "wholesome look and great corn flavor," they… include 4 grams of fiber and just 40 milligrams of sodium per serving. Santitas White Corn chips were the runners-up. Tostitos Natural Corn are "perfect for nachos." Losers included Baked Tostitos, Guiltless Gourmet Yellow Corn and Snyder's Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips.

by Editors of The Nibble
Taste testers at The Nibble crunched their way through 12 tortilla chip brands, finding mass-market chips "dusty and bland, with no corn flavor." Frontera Foods earns the nod as editors' favorite chip line.… Chips from Rosa Mexicano, a mini-chain of Mexican restaurants, tie for first place with the best corn flavor. Xochitl Topos de Ma'z was deemed "bland," and the bottom of the bag was full of crumbs.

Amazon doesn't really have a section for tortilla chips, so your best bet is searching. El Sabroso Original Salsitas Spicy Salsa Tortilla Rounds have accumulated two dozen reviews. Nearly all the reviews of… these chips are positive. Consumers say that these chips are full of flavor and that their texture is light and crispy. Plocky's Black Beans 'N Rice Chips also earn a high average rating in 10 reviews. Plocky's Red Beans 'N Rice chips earn equally high reviews.

Editors at this snack-food blog have posted reviews of more than 280 tortilla chips varieties, including some that are truly bizarre. If you have been wondering how Doritos Peking Duck chips taste, wonder… no more. Write-ups are brief, and oddly, the site doesn't allow consumers to post comments. We have no idea who the testers are or how they qualified as "Certified Snack Evaluators." With a little more transparency, we'd give this site a higher rating.

Calorista.com details low-calorie food options for its readers. Editors have high marks for Tostitos Light Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips, giving them a four-star rating for calorie content and a maximum… five-star score for taste, which they call "great." Their brief summary notes that the chips contain Olestra, and they caution that some people experience gastrointestinal problems because of the additive, saying, "proceed at your own risk (and preferably not at work or on a first date)!"
