Mexican Dads Rank HOT SAUCE!

We asked our Mexican Dads to rank some of the most popular hot sauces! 😭🔥🌶
We asked our Mexican Dads to taste test and rank bottled hot sauce! They tried all sorts of popular sauces like Tapatio, Valentina, Yucateco, Frank's Red Hot, Sriracha, Tabasco, Cholula! Will the Mexican papah's be able to handle the heat or will these hot sauces spice them out? Do you think they'll be able to handle all this hot sauce? You'll have to wait and see!

Valentina for life! It's the most balanced and delicious.

I love it! I collect them and have favorites. Valentina extra hot and El Yucateco Chile habañero Xxxxxtra hot are a couple of my favorites.

[@mar7674]

I used to have low spice tolerance, so my go to has always been Valentina. The story behind the name is very inspiring. For those who dont know, Valentina was a soldier who fought alongside men during the Mexican Revolution, during a time when women were not allowed to join the army. So in her honor, they named the sauce after her. ❤❤❤ Viva Mexico!

As someone born and raised in Mexico, I’ll always prefer Valentina and that is what i have at home. I feel Tapatío is good but it is mostly consumed in the US, not so much in Mexico.

As someone also raised Mexican, I didn’t even know ppl used Valentina on anything other than to drown their chips in it 😂 I didn’t know ppl used it like Tabasco

Cholula, Tapatio, Franks, and Sriracha are my favorites. I like Cholula with eggs and Mexican food, same with Tapatio. Franks I like in Red Beans and rice as well as breakfast foods, Sriracha I like with Pizza, Pho, and most Asian food and even some Indian food.

I ordered a set of all of or most of the Cholula flavors. Original Chili Garlic Chili Lime Chipotle Green Pepper Sweet Habanero Very much so looking forward to it as I enjoy the original and green a lot but have never tried these others.

[@privatepadilla]

Pepinos with a lime and Tapatio... or Tomatoes as a backup. Classic childhood snack.

[@PapahChannel]

So good! 😋

[@HayTatsuko]

Valentina (either regular or black-label) for light spice and great flavor. El Yucateco habanero (any _except_ the black label, which tastes like ash to me) for heavier spice and great flavor. I'm also a fan of México Lindo's line of sauces. _Their_ black label (habanero tatemada) is actually really nice.

[@pilates68]

I love Valentina!!! In the US it’s not well known but it great on anything. It’s almost creamy. I have no idea how they achieve that consistency. And of course, Siracha is in a class by itself. That sauce has led to a huge interest and market for hot sauce. I have mucho respect for Tobassco, but my stomach can no longer handle the high vinegar and pepper mix.

[@rickyolivarez]

I also use Tabasco for breakfast. With eggs, hash-browns. I HAVE to. Tapatio for chips. Sriracha for cup noodles. 😂

Fun fact, Tapatio is actually an American product. Up untill recently, you wouldnt be able to find it in Mexico. Now it get's imported and costs more than Valentina down there.

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

I always keep two big bottles of Valentina Extra Hot (black label) in the kitchen, and one in my desk at work. I use that to make wing sauce. Mix it with melted unsalted butter, lots of fresh ground black pepper, and a dash of balsamic vinegar. Heat until just melted and mixed, if you cook it too hot the sauce separates from the butter and it's just a greasy mess. Good to see El Yucateco getting some love too, I get a bottle of that from time to time also, all of them are top notch.

[@MobSquad4209]

Valentina and limon on nacho cheese Doritos is one of my all time favorite snacks.

El Yucateco makes some of the best tasting hot sauces that are readily available in the american market high quality stuff.majority of other hot sauces available in the american market when compared to El Yucateco are average at best and just taste like spicy vinegar.

Yes, because vinegar based sauce is useful for cooking. The acidity brings out the flavor in long cooked dishes like gumbo or beans. Not great for table use, though.

I have all of those in my pantry except for Tabasco and Cholula.. i need some kick in my salsa. I'm used to making mine homemade with Chile de arbol so I can handle some heat but when I'm in a hurry all of those are fair game especially the tapatio, Sriracha , and yucateco.

[@Epok97]

That yucateco, the first time I tried it, it made me sweat from my bottom eyelids. Not cry but I started building sweat on my bottom eye lids. These days I put it on everything and it’s nothin. Green, Black and Maya (the one shown here) are my go to sauces. I travelled Europe for a month I took two bottles of each with me. The Spanish that saw me pull em out wanted to try em, they liked the black and green but could not handle the Extra Hot Maya.

My hot sauce stash consists of Tapatio, Chipolte Cholula, El Yucateco Salsa Negra, Rooster Sriracha, Sriraja Panich (extremely well balanced), Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce, and a green jalapeno Tabasco that is better than their tabasco.

!! Where did you find a bottle of Sriracha?! I can't find it anywhere - that specific brand is my favorite on eggs and it's always missing from shelves. Also, I would put Tapatio at the very bottom of my list. I don't understand the love for it. Cholula is a little better but I prefer El Yucateco (delicious), Sriracha (my go-to), Tabasco (on pizza or mixed into ketchup for my fries) and better than all of these is my aunt's homemade salsas.

[@Amocoru]

El Yucateco is my go to sauce at Mexican spots that have it. So good. I keep it in my cabinet along with my Iguana gold. I can't believe the one rated it so low haha. I'm a gringo and even I recognize the greatness.

[@jesusislord88]

The dude putting 10,000++++ is me for sure, El Yucateco is one of my all time favorite underrated hotsauces for putting with Mexican/TexMex food, especially tacos al pastor. The green chile habanero one has a phenomenal flavor, and the black one is nice, but I also really enoy the really spicy one, Exxxtra Hot, for a great kick. 🔥👌 I had a Mexican friend that I met in a restaurant in a small town called Livingston in Texas, the restaurant is El Taquito, and he was such a cool waiter, older and respectful. He had been with the owners for a long time and brings great vibes there, he's the one that showed me this sauce for the first time around 2020 at the restaurant, and I fell in love with the sauce on my al pastor tacos, he'd always hook me up with more meat and that special sauce they didn't keep out. Not many Americans like the spicier stuff around there I guess, so they keep it in the back for the Mexican guests that know about it. After I had it and found out it was at Walmart, I started buying it and using it on all kinds of things at home. 🤤 There's other good choices there, Tapatío and Cholula are really nice, and I absolutely love Valentina hot sauce, both the regular and extra hot. 😀
