Mexican Hot Sauces

These sauces are imported into the US from Mexico.  Available on shelves here in Southern Arizona. (Which is full of Mexicans... also imported into the US from Mexico -- unless they were born here.  <snark>)

El Pato Salsa Picante Hot Sauce. I recently participated in a Chili Cookoff here in Tombstone, and several of the contestants were using this hot sauce.  It is reasonably hot, and reasonably flavorful.  (3/3, I guess)

It is not as thick as Belizean hot sauces.  

Ingredients: Dried Pepper, Vinegar, Salt, etc.

Made in Mexico. 

 

(right) Tapatío Salsa Picante Hot Sauce

My good friend Sam Johnson, master of the Kings Chef Diner in Colorado Springs discovered this hot sauce in the early 1990's and became the dealer for the area!  He sold plenty of it, and he always had it prominently displayed on the counter.  

It is an excellent sauce, plenty of flavor and hot enough to notice.  

Ingredients, Water, red peppers, salt, spices, etc.

 

 (left) Cholula Hot Sauce. Original.  Imported from Mexico.

Look for the unique wooden cap!   This is a very good sauce, recommended by a pretty lady at my Chuckwagon Breakfast at the Church.  

It is quite good, lots of flavor and not too much heat.  Flavor/Heat = 4/3.

(every one seems to want to claim to be original!!!)

(right) La Guacamaya Authentic Hot Sauce.  Imported from Mexico.

This sauce is VERY thick, very flavorful.  Flavor/heat = 5/3.

Has a trick plastic cap which works very well with the thick sauce.

I liked it a lot.

 

 

(left) Bufalo Jalapeño Mexican Hot Sauce

This bottle is quite tall, and has a pretty open mouth.   

The label says "Very Hot" but it's not very hot.

It is pretty thick, reasonably flavorful.

Flavor/heat = 3/3

Because of the big mouth, I spilled about a tablespoon full on my test eggs. .  It's good, but not that good!

 

(right) Salsa Huichol Hot Sauce. "Seasoned with the best spices and hot peppers from the Nayar Mountains"

Ingredients: Chilipeppers, spices, iodized salt and vinegar  Flavor/heat = 5/2, but the heat builds up on you!

I looked up the Spanish "Huichol".   It means "Huichol" in English.  .  

The bottle is plastic, with another tricky (but neat) cap.  Made in Landerenas, Xalisco, Nay. Mexico.  Wiki tells me that "Huichol" is an indian tribe in the Nayar Mountains.
