I had it at los molcajetes and it’s similar to an old mom and pop shop that I used to frequent but closed down.

    You don’t. It looks like tomato sauce with some unchopped cilantro and big onion pieces.

    El Pato canned spicy tomato sauce, add fresh cilantro and onion

    Following because I have a similar shop near me and this is the best salsa. I’ve tried using El Pato to recreate it but it wasn’t the same. It was definitely missing seasonings and was much spicier using El Pato than what the restaurant makes.

    Maybe they add in a tomato sauce to make it less spicy. But the chunks of onion, tomato, and cilantro are definitely awesome in this style of salsa.

    This looks like blended tinned tomatoes with some coriander, chilli, and onion thrown in

    No clue what restaurant you’re referring to since there are probably several with his name in the United States in different areas geographically. But here is a recipe that might work.

    Salsa de Molcajete

    4 Roma tomatoes (ripe)
    2–3 jalapeños or 2 serranos (for spicier)
    2 cloves garlic
    ¼ medium white onion
    A small handful of cilantro
    Juice of ½ lime
    Salt to taste

    1. Roast the vegetables

    2. Grind in a molcajete in blender. Add garlic, peppers, salt, onion, tomatoes and grind to desired texture.

    3. Mix in chopped cilantro and lime juice.
