Mexican Dads Rank Store-Bought Salsas

We asked our Mexican dads to rank different store-bought salsas 😭😂
We asked our Mexican dads to taste test and rank different store bought salsas! Many Mexican dads love making spicy and tasty salsas but how do salsas from the store compare? The dads tried all sorts of salsas like Taco Bell Salsa verde, Tostitos Restaurant Style Salsa, Casa Sanchez Mild Salsa Roja, Herdez Salsa Verde, Pace Mild Picante Sauce, La Victoria Salsa Verde, Tostitos Chunky Habanero Salsa! Do you like to eat salsas? Which these salsas look tasty?

To be fair, you guys are having them try all the mild versions of these salsas, and one of their most common complaints is that they aren't spicy enough.

[@santiagooehler]

despite the level of kick they have, store salsas are not really big in México, we all prefer to do our own, and yes home made salsas are just better

[@BillyJoe1305]

Counterpoint: you usually can't find the spicier versions of these on the shelf.

[@shiftinggearsmedia]

This was my exact thought. Also the guy saying you can't find the spicier versions I have never had an issue finding the hot varieties.

the real kicker is the not homemade tortilla chips. Mexican store made tortilla chips are fire as fuck, Still hot.

the translations weren't always connecting the dots. I'm hispanic, and I was like the man just said his grandson said the salsa doesn't work, but they translated it differenlty. IDK. maybe i'm the dumb ass.

[@kylereece9919]

I should preface this with saying that I am a white boy from the Midwest but I can handle myself in terms of spicy food. I grew up eating canned salsa and thought it was ok. It was not until I lived in San Antonio for several years where I got to try authentic Mexican food and real Mexican salsa and wow. Like I said I can handle my spice level and I told my Mexican girlfriend at the time that her mom could turn up the heat level in her salsa as hot as she possible could…that was a mistake. Like the dad in this video he said that salsa should be so hot it kicks your ass and I agree. However this woman’s salsa knocked me out, let me get back up and knocked me out again it was so hot. To this day I don’t buy canned salsa and make my own the way her mom told me to…it’s been a life changer

If you guys ever need a quick party snack, try pouring Pace salsa over a block of cream cheese, dip them chips in and enjoy 😋

[@Rime_in_Retrograde]

I've never tried that before, but one time I mixed Pace with Velveeta when I was on a time crunch and it was pretty good - has to be the spicy Pace though.

[@dingusmcgillicutty9183]

Mrs. Renfo’s ghost pepper salsa is the best store bought salsa. Not for the timid. It really has a kick. Especially if you dunk Paqui ghost pepper tortilla chips. It’ll get the adrenaline pumping for sure.

[@1COMIXMAN]

I once made a salsa fresca that they may like.it was tomatoes,yellow onion, jalapenos, habeneros cilantro and a few Thai chilies all diced up. Then i added in some lime juice,salt pepper garlic powder and the kick in the balls, a tablespoon full of Carolina reaper flakes. Ohhh it was so good and tasty but so spicy it could strip the paint off a car.nobody but me would eat any of it.and after eating some on a chip I had to eat almost a hand full of chips to get the burn down. But it was damn good.I grew up in san diego and imperial county in california. Most of my friends were hispanic.I basically aS adopted by their families since i spent more time at my friends houses than mine it seemed.I remember helping my best friends mom,aunties,grandma and cousins fold tamales, or watching the grandpa roast a goat over the fire pit in their back yard. I learned to cook alot of good hispanic food. Carne asada is to this day my favorite. The red kind is my top favorite. My go to breakfast is chorizo and egg burritos. I love cooking and know how to cook many hispanic dishes. Not just Ted med stuff but real authentic meals. One of the dad's talked about chilequilas. Ohhhh damn i love those. But i truly miss tamales where I'm at now I can't get them or alot of the ingredients to make them.

[@sterlingglover2331]

This just makes me realize, I don't think I have ever had AUTHENTIC, GOOD, SALSA. My favourite store brand Salsa is Mrs. Renfros, but aside from that, this just makes me want to try and find as local as I can true salsa

[@-Vitalis-]

Dunno where ya live and maybe it'll get expensive, but I'm sure you can find jalapenos (or serranos, maybe chipotle if you're lucky) and green tomato in a local store or supermarket. You just need to buy those, add onion, a bit of garlic and boil all together (yes, all of it) for lets say one hour or so. Don't drip anything. Now, for the real deal: we mexicans usually smash the boiled mix using a "molcajete" (stone version of mortar and pestle) so the salsa is well mixed but not liquid. It needs to have chunks. Even the traditional molcajete adds a bit of "stony" flavor, which is considered a plus. Some people like to use blender, to have a perfectly smooth texture. That's fine too. Useful if you plan to do enchiladas or similar stuff. Whatever you choose, enjoy. Personally, I love tex-mex food too and I try to make my own chili with meat. Of course, it isn't as good as the southern version.

[@luked4043]

Dude it’s so fucking easy to make homemade salsa. Takes ten minutes at most

[@HalfUnder]

You gotta do this with the new Cholula salsas. I'd be interested in seeing if theyre any good.

[@SoggySocksYT]

Should have them try to taste the difference between multiple salsas at once. Like a homemade, store bought, and restaurant made salsa. Then have them rate them

[@Roblessed722]

The thing is you gotta look at the ingredients used. When I or my family make a home made salsa we never add vinegar or extra oils its just the base ingredients. The reason store bought salsas taste sour or synthetic is because of all the additives and a lot of store salsas use heavy amounts of vinegar as a cheap additive for taste.

[@SBA76]

I live in a border town that's about 20mins away from San Luis, Mexico. In our town we only have 1 grocery store, 1 meat market, 2 fast foods, and 2 gas stations. That's it. That's all that makes up our town. The grocery store price gouges the food in there sometimes to $10 a box of cereal..so imagine the produce prices at times. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy the pre-made salsas because of the price gouging here 🥲 we do make homemade if we travel a little further to a dif town and get access to their grocery stores.

[@Andriig75]

I have all the ingredients in my garden 😁

[@HayTatsuko]

I may not have a real basalt molcajete, but I do have a granite mortar and pestle -- which is kind of close? I love making my own homemade salsa with it! Manufactured salsa will _never_ compare to homemade! But if I do want a store-bought salsa, I'm probably getting Herdez.

I buy the canned Walmart GV fire roasted salsa for like $1. Fresh cilantro, a garlic glove, a couple peppers, and a little lime juice and it really tastes pretty good. Sometimes I put oil in it and make it creamy by hitting it with a stick blender. Generally, I'd make it fresh but usually store bought tomatoes are so eh that unless I have homegrown ones the canned are better. I use the GV salsa as the tomato basically.
