Despite my rantings, still bought to try lol. Quest chips uses similar ingredients
I can vouch that Mr. Tortilla chips are friggin' horrible, like flavored cardboard tortilla-shaped chips.
I also bought a sample pack from Ultra Slim Foods which are zero carb. The hamburger buns were okay, but really thin, almost too thin for the purpose. Any condiments soak right through the bun and no room for onion and tomato. Some of the sample items like the biscuit and donut went moldy before I could get to them. Being single, I can't just open the box and eat everything at once. But the shelf life is not good. Their cupcakes, cloud cakes all have such a crumbly texture that they basically crumble when you try to eat them. Like in the cupcake shell, you have to put it on a dish and scrape the cake out. Taste was okay but for the cost? No.
I still have their zero carb pasta (Impasta), a bag of their bagels and a loaf of their bread to try. The bagels are okay-sized, the bread a bit small. I'm not looking forward to trying them at this point because I have a feeling that as soon as I open the packages, they're going to mold before I can finish them.
Sorry, don't mean to thread crap. I appreciate deals on keto / low carb being posted. I'm just trying to find stuff that tastes good lol I'm type 2 diabetic btw.

Hilo has a stronger crunch and a more substantial chip, while still being close to a corn chip. It is true that you notice the almond flour in both taste and texture. Hilo's spices are good and mitigate that somewhat. I like a chip with a little more oomph to it, so Hilo is my #1.
Quest chips are much thinner, though have a cleaner taste. They are good but more delicate. They have the chip taste down, though the experience of eating them is different -- it's more like Pringles than corn chips. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Though Hilo chips make better nachos.
About a dollar a bag is a very good price, and you get four different flavors. It's been an age since I've seen them in Costco, and grocery store prices for these are obscene.
Hilo chips may be expensive, but if you can't eat 'real' chips (for whatever reason), these are really nice to have.

Almond flour is much more expensive than corn. Also, while it is getting easier to source keto ingredients, manufacturers are still all over the place with how good their products are at imitating high-carb foods. I have had other 'chips' that had the texture of cheetos (which, not bad, but not chips). Or worse.
