Fav hot sauce?

[ps99472]

Not a big siracha fan since it overpowers everything... So what do you use to put a little kick in the food you eat?  My coworkers go thru tapatio like water, finally tried it tonight with some rotisserie chicken and have to admit it brought the chkn to a new level.  Just enough to entice the buds and not obliterate the senses like Halal guys red sauce.

Cholula?

El Yucateco Green Habanero sauce.  Great flavor, good heat.

El Yucateco Red Habanero sauce for when you want it a little hotter.

Looks interesting,  I'm guessing tapatio with a hint of lime?  Is it online only?  Any local grocers have this?

Not that fond of Tabasco, too sour for my taste.

Tried that, got it from ranch 99, it was ok, the peanuts were kinda weird.  And because it's from mainland, tasted 'unhealthy' to me.

That's two votes for the habanero sauce.  Putting that on my list

I believe so, you get little packets of it from Chinese and viet take out places.  It's decent, heavy garlic as I recall

That's the one, easily found on Asian markets even some major chains in the ethnic section

For mexican food, of all the main stream hot sauces, I loved Tapatio when I was in college, but now, my taste buds have evolved and now prefer Cholula.  Although the spicy salsa at Sharkey's Woodfire Grill is pretty good.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, Taco Bell mild sauce is hard to beat.

For asian foods, I usually just prefer plain old chili oil.  But since I'm not asian, I haven't been exposed to much else.  Sriracha is a big 'no' in my book.  The taste is too strong.
