    Damn : /

    Personally I prefer Cholula over Tapatio for my “generic flavorful hot sauce that isn’t actually hot at all so I can slather it on everything” but Tapatio was pretty decent too.

      I really like the original flavor cholula but any of their other ones have this artificial plasticky taste I can’t quite identify.

      My favorite cheap one that can go on everything is el yucateco. Some of those even bring some heat without raising the price.

        I think I’ve only had the original Cholula. Now I know to avoid the others :)

        Have you had the El Yucateco “El Caribe”? I can’t find it very often in local stores but it’s damn awesome - by far my favorite. … Assuming they still make it and haven’t changed it. It’s probably been 4 years since I bought one because I tend to stock up when I find it.

          Yeah I ordered it I think last year. First time I had it and it was really good. You can get a mix and match box of 6 on their website and it’s a little more than buying in stores (I think) but you can get flavors I’ve never seen on shelves anywhere.

        I do use Valentina quite a bit at home because my local store has 1L bottles of the regular and black label / extra “hot”.

        One of those lasts at least a year so I keep it in the cabinet and continually refill a smaller bottle. They’ve also got 4L jugs but I haven’t been brave enough to go that far … Yet.
