I prefer medium hot now because my stomach can't handle extra hot any longer.

HEB carries a specialty series taqueria style red sauce that is pretty tasty.

I gave up on finding a good salsa from HEB years ago. I'd recommend buying from your favorite mexican restaurant as many sell their own salsa.

Big fan of Salsa DeLeon. Made in Canyon Lake, TX. Sold in HEB and other stores.

I'm not a fan of Mateo's. It has extremely to much Cumin it's nasty.

This is it. The fire roasted isn't as hot as the green. The habanero is my favorite but it's pretty damn spicy.

This is the correct answer. If I can't find this, HEB's Mi Tienda Salsa Chili De Arbol works.

I love El Gallo. Not a chips and dip type salsa, but amazing on breakfast tacos.

Gunslinger Salsa. It's in Spec's. It's my brand, so if you haven't tried it, give it a shot and support an Aggie owned company. Medium hot, fire roasted goodness. It pretty much beats every salsa on the shelf, especially if you like a little smoke. I'm doing a demo tomorrow at the College Station Spec's from 1-4PM if anyone wants to swing by and try it.

I'll give the Gunslinger a shot.

That said my go-to for a few years now is Kylito's.

Take the trash out staff.

I'm a big fan of their "Texas mild".
Spoiler, they're joking about it being mild.
