The label has a drawing that I can call "quaint". It's a fairly simple drawing of a presumably Latinx couple near a cauldron. The cauldron is steaming and one of the two people is adding ingredients or stirring, I can't really tell which. The color immediately grabbed my attention in a positive way. It is a bold maroon hinting at tomato or just a red pepper mix.
The consistency is really nice. A good and thick pour without being hard to get out of the bottle's spout. A dripper insert isn't really needed, but be careful not to pour too recklessly. It's a nice rich red that is dotted with bits of ingredients. As I've mentioned before, I have a soft spot for sauces with bit of their makeup visible.
The taste may be one of my favorites in my sauce exploration thus far! It's rich and hearty. It also has a good bit of garlic added to it. I can tell that onion was placed into the mix liberally but without the effect of overpowering the concoction. Jalapenos are obvious to me as the main pepper in this but upon looking at the ingredient list I saw no tomato, leading me to assume that other peppers of the red variety are included.
While this sauce may taste amazingly, the heat may disappoint. In fact, I had to sample it a few times to even really find the heat. With that said, it does build up upon repeated samplings, leaving a tingle on the side of the tongue, but no real lip burn.
I plan on using this sauce pretty extensively in my cooking for its flavor. I predict that it will go well with eggs (I like mine scrambled) and as a condiment on burgers. I'm a little hesitant to put it on tacos as I like to turn up the heat with tacos. At just over $8 on Amazon I think that this was a good purchase for taste experimentation alone. Also, I tried it on tortilla chips and that was a very pleasurable snack!
