Indeed, these were actually spicy chips, unlike the over-marketed, under-spiced Doritos today. Plus Pepitos weren't encased in fake cheese and didn't turn your fingers orange. Nice crisp chip with plenty of hotness.

Yes! They were in a class of their own. They were my favorite. I sometimes feel like my memory of them is a hallucination because most people have never heard of them. The recent Habanero Doritos come close in spiciness, but do have the unidentified orange pseudo-queso coating.

yes I remember them.. they rocked...

Still my fave chip, ever! The long since discontinued (I think) taco-flavored Doritos were close. Think they were Frito-Lay.

We miss them- we remember the song from the commercial:" Oh-oh Pepitos, so crispy and hearty, Pepitos- To pep up your party, Pepitos- you can't beat those Pepitos!" WE MUST BRING THEM BACK

Try Fritos new Tim McGraw Jalapeno corn chips -- taste exactly like them

We used to drink Olde English Malt Liquor and eat Pepitos in my friend's basement. The perfect combination!

I just found these chips at my local Walgreen's. They are called "El Sabroso all natural Jalapenitos" jalapeno and cheese chips. The first thought that came to me when I ate the first one was "PEPITOS". Try them if you can find them. You wont be disappointed. I used to buy Pepitos everyday at the lunch counter in 8th grade for 25 cents a bag!

i WAS JUST LOOKING PEPITOS UP TO SEE IF i COULD ORDER A BAG ONLINE...i DID NOT KNOW THER WERE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT LOVED THEM LIKE i DID, THAT IS AWESOME. i LOVED THE JALAPENO ONES THEY WERE THE BEST EVER. I THINK THEY STILL MAKE THEM IN MEXICO. SAW AN ADD WHILE LOOKING THEM UP BUT IT WAS IN SPANISH. ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SPEAK SPANISH? LOL WE MAY BE ABLE TO ALL ORDER SOME. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE CALLED 80'S FOOD. WHY IN THE WORLD DID THEY STOP MAKING THEM, I HAVE BEE LOOKING FOR THEM EVERSINCE I MOVED OUT, AND DID MY OWN GROCERY SHOPPING.

I LOVED Pepitos, and I remember that commercial jingle too! My lunch as a picky kid used to consist of a bag of Pepitos and a pepperoni sandwich. It's weird how you'll bite into chips now and think that they come close to the BEST CHIPS EVER. Please Frito Lay, BRING BACK OUR PEPITOS!!!

Will someone please vring back the pepitos!!

I loved Pepitos. I was working as a DJ ar a radio station and one of the perks was as many Pepitos as I could eat. Sure wish they still had them today! Blessy Heart, Saffy
