I donât like vinegary too much (or smoke/fermented flavor etc), I like El Yucateco Red*.
Though it is a bit expensive for a tiny bottle. So I made a few big bottles trying my own spin* from garden habaneros (orange) and liked how it turned out.
* I see the key ingredients: distilled white vinegar, citric acid, xantham gum
You people and your terrible looking bottles are going to send me into debt.
Not the guy you responded to, but I also love hot sauce. I usually stock franks, yellowbirdâs red jalapeño sauce (forget the name), and cholula or Valentina if I donât feel like paying for it. I also had this really awesome green hot sauce from El Pato brand, but I havenât ever seen it again. Hopefully someday!
Dude, this el pato sauceâs packaging looks like absolute dog water. Which, for anyone who has ever gone on a sauce tasting spree, means itâs either horrific or ambrosia. There is no in-between. Youâve piqued my interest more than I can properly describe.
Their canned red sauce is always a gamble between mild to decently hot. Would recommend.
The tomato sauce or tomato sauce with jalapeño? Or another one Iâm not seeing?
Vinegar tends to be too forward. I go for the stuff youâll find in a Mexican market or âethnicâ aisle of a grocery store. Peppers being an ingredient higher than most others beyond water catch my eye. Melindaâs is alright, though Iâve seen them branch out quite a bit from their more humble beginnings.
I have an international market right by my place, so it never struck me to go to a Mexican shop. Hope they have some good stuff!

Ah, a fellow Melindaâs enjoyer! I love theyâre Ghost Pepper sauce in particular (though itâs fairly mild for a Ghost Pepper sauce). My only complaint with Melindaâs, is that they consistently use too much carrot in their sauces. But otherwise theyâre really great!

Iâm really not picky about the sweetness. As long as itâs got a little kick and doesnât taste like a shot of vinegar, Iâm happy. I usually go for the habanero, but itâs getting to be a bit pepperminty, so I might jump ship for one of the other brands mentioned here.
