I can understand why they won’t for sure, but I’ve tried to get the recipe from this restaurant I visit a lot. Their salsa for the chips is incredible. Can anyone give me a fair idea what’s in it and/or a recipe to make it or something similar?

I won’t be of any help, but damn, that looks like some good ass salsa
I make something I think is similar.
I chop up a few cloves of garlic and a couple arbol chilies, I blend it with high quality canned tomatoes and a couple fresh jalapeño or serrano chilies.
Then I add a small bunch of hand chopped cilantro and 2 hand chopped green onions at the end. Season with salt to taste.
Looks exactly like the salsa at Acapulco restaurants (my favorite small Mexi chain here in Southern California).
I finally broke down and asked my server what the recipe is. He said they just use lots of onion and cilantro. When I asked what the secret pepper was, he said they use serranos. Obviously it contains tomatoes and water, too. I personally would also add Mexican oregano and salt.
I’m thinking the reason I’m not getting accurate results is because I’ve been using pickled serranos. Gonna try fresh everything, next time I make salsa.
3-4 Roma tomatoes, 1 green onion, 1 Serrano & 1 jalapeño might use less depending on how hot they are, juice of 1/2 lime, small handful of cilantro, salt & a little black pepper. This is what I make and it’s looks very similar.
