For the KC folks, remember Lotta Hotta? Great stores that featured everything spicy. Lots of samples to try. Mouth burning experience walking out the door. Whew!

My wife makes a Thai pepper sauce on a mortar and pestle she likes on fish and seafood. Its pretty hot and an easy pepper to grow in a pot if you have direct sunshine.

The Mexicans seem to love it as they load up on Herdez in the market. I think they put the heat in the food and the sauce is just a condiment but could be wrong.

For work lunch I grabbed some quinoa edamame salad from a local grocery store and added a small can of Herdez Salsa Verde to it. It has been very hot here so I am eating pretty light right now. It was delicious. The salad looked like this:




The salsa really sent the flavor over the top. It was really, really good.

I go with the made fresh daily Latino store route for the most part but will typically keep a Herdez Salsa Taquera in the fridge.

Art's Mexican in Amourdale used to do their own and I'd buy it by the case. The last time I was down there, the lady said it hasn't been hot enough for good peppers and they haven't made it in a couple of years.

No locals make/sell salsa there if there’s plenty of Mexicans in your town?

30 minutes south is one of the best Salsas I've ever had.

Was just at our FM this morning
One vendor had fresh homemade salsa
Thought about buying it, but didn't.

Why? Cuz I'd have to go to the store for chips. The smart thing for them to do is also offer chips with it.

Arriba! Fire Roasted Southwestern Garlic & Cilantro Salsa - Medium
Margaritas Amigos Restaurant Style Salsa - Medium

Those are two of the better store bought options I've found. I've been through a lot of types/varieties. Same wtih Bloody Mary bases.

Margaritas salsa was a long time favorite of mine when I lived in KC. Both mild and medium. I actually brought a jar of both back with me from a recent road trip to KC.

Feel the medium is being pretty generous but is still delicious.

I love the salsa at Manny's on SW BLVD; and I 'think' the Lopez family who owns it sells it in a jar at some local grocery stores. I picked some up on 2 different occasions, and it was not good at all. didn't taste anywhere close to the restaurant.

I think the jar is called Famila Lopez ...

we finally got a food processor after wanting to get one for years; I need to score a good recipe to try out. love chips and salsa.

If im having real mexican food, my wife or mother in law usually makes it from scratch. Or we'll buy the stuff they make at the mexican market.

If i'm just busting out my poor white boy swag, like some frozen burritos, i'll use Pace.
