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.

I make a salsa that looks similar but I don’t use canned ingredients. I’ve tried El Pato and other sauces in the past but was never happy with the results.
This looks like blended tinned tomatoes with some coriander, chilli, and onion thrown in

First you drain some of your blood into a small bowl.

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.

Restaurant salsa won’t be using garden fresh ingredients, but here is how I do it: [https://www.reddit.com/r/SalsaSnobs/comments/1m9xf9c/garden_fresh_salsa/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SalsaSnobs/comments/1m9xf9c/garden_fresh_salsa/)

I think I got pretty close. I used
2- 7oz cans of el pato I recommend 1 and double up on the tomato sauce as it’s spicier with more pato.
10 oz of tomato sauce plain
1/2 onion
Oregano
Chicken bullion
Jalepeno
Lime
I would also add a green onion.
Ooooh I remember when el pato was the craze
El Pato with onions, cilantro, lime, and peppers chopped in it.
