About out of my old tried and true. What would you recommend for someone that has Tapatio on standby and wants to branch out?

Ever tried Valentina? My wife just bought me a bottle and it’s really good. Like Cholula with a stronger pepper flavor. About as hot as Tapatio, which means not at all.
It does come in a Hot version that I have yet to try.

I’ve been enjoying Valentina for awhile.
Their spicy has a big kick and their regular has some heat too.

Valentina for similar, yucateca for more heat and different flavor

Ease into it… Cholula next!

A lot of folks have mentioned Valentina, and it’s good, but if you’re really looking to branch out in flavor, it might not be the best option. I’d recommend Tobasco jalapeño (the green bottle) and Chipotle (the brown bottle). They have very vibrant flavors, less of that strong vinegar taste that Tobasco is known for, while still being as hot (maybe a little hotter in regards to the chipotle) as Tapatio. Still pretty mainstream, you can usually find them with Valentina and Tapatio.
I usually keep those three in my kitchen at all times, just to change up the flavor of different dishes. Really highly recommend the green Tobasco with salads and fish!
Mexican hot sauce has little to no vinegar. Tabasco is first ingredient vinegar. Your taste matters (only to you). After finding mexican hot sauce with little to no vinegar. I detest the taste of vinegar, Tobasco, Louisiana hot sauce because of the vinegar taste. Frank’s is the same to me. Tapitio, chalula then victoria’s. 505 hatch green chile verde for a green sauce.

Have yet to find a yucateca sauce that didn’t have a great blend of heat and flavor. The green habanero especially is 10/10

This stuff is so good! There’s different flavors, but this is my favorite so far
Pico Pica if it’s available near you… or Amazon that junk. FAR better than Tapatio or Cholula. More flavor.
Cholula is a step down from Tapatio and Valentina Black label is a step up in heat.
Yellowbird jalapeño
El Yucatán if you’re not a wimp
Tried secret aardvark yet?
Anything other than Tabasco or Tapitio
