View Full Version : What is your favorite hot sauce?

Not necessarily one that is flaming per se, but a spicy one with flavor. Not just hot for the sake of being hot.

My favorite is the plastic bottle with the rooster on it and (it appears to me) Vietnamese writing? It has become my go-to hot/garlic sauce. I put it on most things I eat for dinner, not all but maybe 75%. I used to like garlic Tabasco back in the day, then Cholula chili garlic (which I can't find anymore locally). Now the rooster one is it. Plus you can buy a bottle big enough to last a while.

My wife looks at me like :nono: when I ask her "Do you wanna put some cock sauce on that?"

Tabasco is always my go-to for 'hot sauce'.

Been on a Sriracha kick lately.

What am I putting it on?

I like Sriracha on breakfast burritos. I like the taste of Pace Picante sauce on just about everything else. Cholula or Tapatio are good if there is nothing better. On my tacos al pastor, cooked on the spit, I like the house red sauce. Everywhere I've been that has real al pastor tacos always has a good red sauce for them. In Mexico City I must've eaten al pastor at 30 different places. Loved the red sauce at every single one. Mmmmmm… This is making me hungry.

The best salsas and hot sauces I've ever tasted were all home made family recipes. Usually high in cilantro content.

I believe the one you are referring to with the rooster is sriracha. I too like it on various things.

I think my favorite all around is Texas Pete. Close second would be Chiluba garlic.

I go back and forth between Tabasco and Franks ! I like the flavor and the zing, I don't care for stuff that burns your face off,,LOL When I lived out West years ago (Montana) I always bought La Victoria,,it had a thermometer on the bottle,,kinda neat ! Always bought the Med stuff but would get the Hot once in awhile,,good stuff. I have never seen it back East but maybe I should look a bit more for it !

Depends on what it's going on . . .

For eggs, breakfast tacos, and pretty much everything I prefer Marie Sharp's Habanero Sauce. I was turned on to it after my FIL picked up some while down in Belize. I buy it by the case.

http://www.hotsauceworld.com/marie-sharp-s.html


Texas Pete's on eggs and in Bloody Mary's.

Cholula, Louisiana, and Tapatío on French fries.

Chicken I prefer Tiger Sauce or Pickapeppa.

Thanks for the heads up. The link says it is a traditional Barbados sauce, a lot of the sauces I like come from that part of the globe.

If it's one of the mustard-based Caribbean hot sauces they are excellent on eggs. Picked some up in St. Lucia a few years ago.

Valentina "Extra Hot". It has a spicy and smokey flavor and it's not expensive, but sometimes hard to find.

06-09-17, 07:01
My go to's are Franks, Tobasco Chipotle, regular Tobasco, and Sriracha. Some of the hot sauce brands like Texas Pete, Frank's & Tobasco are doing their own versions of Sriracha now too.

Watrdawg
06-09-17, 07:08
Over all I like the Tobasco Chipotle. If we go into the make your head go numb type sauces there is a wing place in the southeast called Wild Wing Cafe and they have wings and stuff coated with a sauce called Braveheart. It taste great but in about 5 seconds after taking a bite your lips go numb and then by the 2nd wing at most your head is about numb. It's not obnoxious hot and has a great overall taste but it's not for the faint of heart either. Last time I was there i talked the manager into selling me a pint of it to take with me. I put that stuff in chili, over eggs, grilled chicken tenders and wings and whatever else I could think of. It was gone in a couple of weeks.

I looked it up and it appears to be (according to the ingredients) one of the Caribbean mustard-based sauces made with Scotch Bonnet peppers. As I mentioned earlier I like those with eggs, seems to be the sweet spot for that particular food.

Matouk's

http://www.seatrekbvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/matouks_big-500x500.jpg

It is hot, it will stand up to the most robust of stews and if you go easy with it, it's fine on small items like a hamburger but a little goes a long way. It's a habenaro based so it's hot... but it's also fruity.

If I could only have one that would be it. Otherwise for a splash on 'you can nevder have too much' type. Maybe Tabasco, Lousiana, Crystal.. most any. But Matouk's is whole different deal that you have to plan for so to speak. It's a flavor hot and can get a long deep heat or hot burn or just a touch of fire... but you can't slather it on until you get used to it.

Melindas XXXX Habenero sauce. Tasty and hot.
When I want straight heat it's Blairs megadeath sauce and 3 am reserve sauce.

My wife and I make our own hot sauces and those are wonderful.

I'm not into the vinegar heavy sauces like tobasco but when I do want that kind on specific foods it's Cholula.

I prefer the pepper forward hot sauces, hotter the better!

It's called Sriracha sauce. It's roasted chilies, I believe.

My favorite is the dl Jardines hobanero i think the blazin saddle sauce.

I have melindas (ghost) in the cupboard but haven't opened it. I'm polishing off some ghost pepper sauce my friend got me from hawaii, that's also very good and similar in flavor to the jardines.

The scotch bonnet pepper sauces from the carrier an are very good as well. I'll check out the pirate lantern stuff.

Tabasco is good, Franks, Texas pete, depending on what is in the fridge and personal preference what I am throwing it on. Other than eggs and mexican I don't really use a lot of hot sauce, generally more dry seasonings. Tabasco is probably what I'd hit the most for just fast and generic, though I will admit to having a fair number of those Taco hell packets in the fridge that I use on frozen burritos.

Beyond that, there was a Crazy Mother Puckers Garlic hot sauce that a friend got a hold of one time that was really awesome, good garlic flavor, not too much heat, good overall taste. There was also a liquid lava sauce that was pretty damn good too, lot of heat, so you weren't going to coat something with it, but used sparingly it did enhance the flavor of lots of foods.

BuzzinSATX
06-09-17, 12:23
I keep several in the house and try new ones a lot. Standbys we keep on hand are Franks, Tabasco original, Tabasco Jalapeño, and Sriracha.

I usually have some type of Thai sweet and spicy sauce and a spicy BBQ on hand as well. Y'all in TX, check out the HEB brand Spicy BBQ Sauce. Great for dipping!

On a side note, if you are a Sriracha fan, check out the documentary on Netflix. It was a really cool story about how that company came to be.

So for you guys that like it a little hotter but wont light you up in addition to wanting to venture out of the realm of vinegar hot sauces (and when I say vinegar I mean Louisiana style) then give this one a try.

Probably my second favorite, I am a firm believer that the grilled cheese is an immensely underrated sandwich and this on a grilled cheese is too legit.

Datil Do it is different. I had some of that ages ago down at the Outer Banks. Never could find a place a place to buy it though. Now you can get it on line. I need to order a bottle. It's made from a Datil pepper and tomato based. I recall it being very good and different but can't recall any specifics. Probably a good one to try if you are looking to experiment, and it's cheap.

I had to edit my post above, some misinformation I corrected.

The chili in Hawaii is a fantastic sauce. I almost forgot about the boswells, it's from ohio, and it a staple for me.

Maybe I should do a side-by side of all of them

I ordered some of the Pirates Lantern hot sauce last week and it arrived this past Monday. It's definitely as good as others have said!! This is the 1st mustard based sauce I've ever tried and I REALLY like it. It has a definite kick to it but the overall flavor keeps you wanting more. I've tried it on burgers, pulled pork and eggs so far and love it. Next up is going to be grilled wings. I'm thinking this is one of my new favorites!

I've always wanted to try a lot of different kinds of hot sauces. My current typical vinegar hot sauce go to is actually the Schlotzsky's brand sauce. I usually get a bottle in my stocking at Christmas. I love it on hot dogs and on their sandwiches. I love going to Firehouse due to all of the sauces they have available. I particularly like the Gator Hammock Sauce or the Malinda's Chipotle on a hook and ladder. I've never tried a mustard based hot sauce. I may have to give that Pirate's Lantern a try.

Stuff that one little dab is enough for two meals. Aaaand now I got gastritis! :(. Was given pills to take for the next few months meanwhile no hot foods, no coffee, nothing tomatoe based, no citrus, no chocolate, nothing with too much spice, no beer or alcohol. Mmmm.... rice cakes!!!! That's what everything tastes like now

Any and all of it. Rule of thumb in this family: "If you bite into something, it should bite back". I like anything with a little kick. Since my wife's family is from Louisiana, we have been to the Tabasco factory at Avery Island on several occasions. My 18 year old son puts it on almost anything. In fact we have a collection of vintage Tabasco bottles which go back to the 1870s and 1880s. Very collectible.

FYI on the history of the Tabasco bottle. At the end of the Civil War, Edward McIlhenny was starting his hot sauce business, but couldn't find enough glassware to bottle his concoction. During the Civil War a French Perfume maker in New Orleans had dumped a large number of their bottles in the swamp to keep Union Troops from getting any of it. McIlhenny learned of the location and dredged up the perfume bottles. His Tabasco sauce was first sold in former French Perfume bottles, and the shape was kept for the future and to this day.

The company I work for has about 150+ sauces for sale. If you live in Florida and shop at Publix, Winn Dixie, or Wallyworld you probably have bought our products, especially the Sriracha sauce as we supply it to all of them. I have seen some crazy hot sauces at the trade shows over the last several years and some are really hot while some are really good but few are both. Always loved the Cholula sauces for good flavor/fire combo and it is easy to find in local stores.


Here is one I saw a while back but have not tried it yet, maybe I will email them for some samples :)

As a Native New Mexican, you have to appreciate our Green Chile. My wife puts it in a lot of dishes. Some favorites are Green Chile Chicken Spaghetti, Potato Soup with Green Chile, etc.

You mentioned Sadie's on 4th Street in Albuquerque. Their Salsa certainly is excellent. If you ever travel US 550 up to Cuba in Sandoval County, try El Bruno's. Traditional old recipe New Mexican food. The owner, Helen, is part of family that has been in the Cuba area (originally named Nacimiento) since the 1770's. Many outside of this State don't realize that New Mexico has it's own cuisine. It's not Mexican food, and it's certainly not Tex-Mex.

My brother lives in Fort Worth. Not too far from him is a "Mexican" restaurant. On the menu they serve a dish including flat pancake-style stacked enchiladas. The dish is described as "New Mexico Style Enchiladas."

If in Las Cruces, you have to try Nellie's, El Sombrero, La Posta, Andele's, Chilito's, Compa's, Bravo's Cafe, Si Senor, and Mi Pueblito.

You should see the looks I get when I wear my Bravo Company USA cap into Bravo's Cafe. :dance3:

I might have to check that place out next time I head down to Drunk Town to see the family. Cuba isn't really on the way, but it might be an interesting detour. We've been stopping at Mary and Tito's on 4th in Abq the last few trips...That place is pretty decent.

There really isn't much up here that compares to New Mexican...It's all Tex-Mex and Mex-Mex. So I gotta get my fix while I'm down there.

Re hot sauce, I've pretty much settled on Tapatio for everything.

I have figured out that if the eatery advertises their food as "Authentic" Mexican food, I avoid it. Everybody claims their chow is "authentic". I don't even know what that means, but it strikes me as an attempt at being deceptive.

I've eaten twice in Las Cruces. Once at the Cattle Baron, and at another place called the Pecan Grill. The latter establishment seemed slightly upper fringe for a cowboy like me. Not that I'm perpetually a dusty, weather-beaten, vagabond of the range, but my boots do sport manure on occasion (almost every day). I did try their Green Chile Stew at the Pecan Grill and it was acceptable. I'll be having a bowl of Green Chile Stew tomorrow evening as an introduction to my Carne Adovada, with red chile so hot it makes my head sweat. Soft corn tortillas are the bread to accompany the meal.

Pecan Grill is horrible.

For green chile stew: Andele's or El Sombrero. Remember that show "Man vs. Food" where he's eating something hot and pounding his fist on the table it's so hot? El Sombrero's green chile stew is about that hot. I had trouble finishing a bowl last time I ate it--but what a way to die!

Rosie's Cafe makes the best read chile meat. Something about their red chile makes me suspicious they had supernatural help.



As far as "authentic Mexican" unfortunately there are more and more places that really do make like in Mexico versus how they make it in New Mexico and it's just not as good. If you like your posole without any chile in it, by all means try the "authentic" Mexican cuisine at Delicia's.

I almost forgot Los Mariachis, across from the county building in Las Cruces. Really good stuff. Then there is La Nueva Casita in the old part of town on Mesquite street.

Dang. I just don't get to eat at these places often enough.

If I travel to Las Cruces, it's usually on Saturday and a lot of those places are PACKED.

My brother lives in Fort Worth. Not too far from him is a "Mexican" restaurant. On the menu they serve a dish including flat pancake-style stacked enchiladas. The dish is described as "New Mexico Style Enchiladas."

Those sound like pupusas! El Salvador yumminess! One of the pluses of living in Los Angeles is that you can find real food, as opposed to "authentic".

Every year, a buddy of mine goes back to New Mexico where he grew up and brings back green chiles. Then a couple of weeks of cooking begins.

Anyone got a good posole recipe?

No, totally different. I probably confused you when I used the words "pancake style." I did that to differentiate between rolled enchiladas, whicn more people are familiar with.

(The picture is a good illustration, but don't take the recipe too seriously. For one thing I literally know NO ONE who uses olives in their enchiladas. And Canola Oil? Puh-lease.)

That's nasty looking. Since it's Miss Mochi, I'm guessing some Japanese cook running that joint.

I had my New Mexican dinner last night; Carne Adovada with thin slices of pork marinated in course red Chile. Served with black beans and rice. The appetizer was Green Chile Stew comprised of pork cubes, potatoes, and green Chile that has been run through a blender, and some other spices. All served with soft corn tortillas. Most Friday nights we serve dinner to our ranch foreman and his family, and two of our wranglers. Big table and good food.

You should be using pinto beans. I laugh whenever I see a Mexican recipe with black or kidney beans. That's the mark of someone "not from around here." LOL.

Ah. I've had those. They were not on the menu as enchiladas, but I forget what the place called them (I might have had some beers beforehand).

Bhut jolokia while made from ghost peppers it is not as hot as many habanero sauces. It is full of flavor and out does any and every sauce I have had. The others are pretty good but the jolokia is on point.

Tobasco for overseas as it carries in a pack unrefrigerated for months
Crystal is good for Cajun and seafood
Green Tobasco is the bomb on caviar, trout, sour cream omelettes- something perfect here.
Cholula for most Mexican food
Sriracha is amazing on lots of things and can make the most bland soups great
Marie Sharps Habanero is all the great flavor of the Habanero pepper without the stupid heat that comes with most Habanero hot sauces
Chick Fil A Buffalo sauce can be drank ;-)
