Favorite store bought salsa...

[DitchPanda]

Looking for some suggestions!

Tomatoes, cilantro, green bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, garlic, lime juice. I can buy all of that at the store.

Pace it doesn’t have a cilantro taste.

I’m with @slonezp - I can make better faster than going to the store…

But ChiChi’s or Ortega are my go to’s if I need something stable off the shelf.

I like Herdez Medium Hot Salsa

Yeah I meant Herdez, not ChiChi’s. ChiChi’s is not my fav at all.

If I have to buy, Herdez, then Goya.

The best ever was Santitos, batch made in San Antonio.  It was good enough to give as Christmas gifts. 

I was a junkie for 20 years.  They began selling in boutique shops in tourist towns, expanded to the major grocery chain, had a falling out, and began mail order.  Grandson Ronaldo finally shut the business in '20. 

people used to fish with me just to get my breakfast tacos heading out the door

 

the best I can find now is Sadie's from Austin

off topic, if you're looking for something good for that Christmas gift, there's Miss Annie's Pecan Brittle from Floresville.

I must admit, I am more of a pico de gallo guy and I am a cilantro junky so I make my own from a recipe a friend who was a Texas native gave me.  I double the cilantro and jalapeños and can eat the stuff by the gallon.  ?. My wife likes salsa and buys Jacks all natural.  It’s ok for salsa.  It needs more cilantro though.?

but pico de gallo uses serrano pappers. 

My buddy's daughters grew up munching serranos like candy. 

 

Different sauces and garnishes get different uses. 

Chipotle uses roasted jalapenos for the base. 

The best chipotle is La Fogata, at one time with a Mexican mafia connection. 

The second best chopotle is Jardine's campfire roasted. 

 

Jalapeno peppers, btw, are a hybrid derived at Texas A&M from habanero, to make a pepper that was safe to eat. 

Good habanero salsa won't dissolve from your mouth without alcohol - so you need a margarita with it. 

Saw a stand-up comic once in Austin, who asked, "do you guys keep the toilet paper in the freezer?"
