For me, I like the Green and Ghost Pepper because they're distinctive. The rest are good, but they kind of blend in with everything else out there. But I've not run into anything I like as much as the heat and fresh flavor of the Ghost Pepper, but it might be too hot for many. It's on the higher scale of what you get in a Salsa, . . not nearly as hot at the concentrated extracts or anything, and very pleasant for me personally. But it is definitely hot. |

Interesting fact. The family that started Pace sold out several years ago to a conglomo. They started a private label salsa business, one of which is Mama Casita salsas at Aldi.

I get the Mateo's salsa from Costco.
Also a big fan of the Frontera tomatilla salsa. |

Sadies salsa. Great taste, hot, but not stupid hot.

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!

Rather than trying to order salsa that you may or may not like, why not buy like 9 Roma tomatoes, a couple of jalapeno peppers, a red onion, a stalk of cilantro and a lime, then make your own to taste?
I realize that Pico de Gallo isn't for everyone but IMO, it's way better than nearly all store bought salsa in a jar. Plus, it's cheap to make so if you mess it up, you're only out a few bucks and it's easy to try again. If jalapeno's aren't hot or spicy enough, try serrano or habanero's. |

And I also remember sitting down for some chips and salsa with zero expectation of kind of burning off my face. It was more enjoyable the next time I tried it, just having that expectation... and IIRC, it was in a burrito with some cheese and sour cream to take the edge off just a bit. |
