    Anything from Heartbeat (Red Habanero it’s my favorite)

    I’d recommend El Yucateco red, green, xxxtra hot, and Caribbean next to bring up the heat level a bit. Melinda’s fire roasted garlic and habanero is excellent, as are their scorpion and ghost pepper sauces. Finally, Tabasco scorpion and Torchbearer garlic reaper if you really want to test your spice tolerance limits

    Everything. When you see a ne sauce, buy it. Seriously.

    As a hot sauce company owner myself I forgot to bring anything on vacation and bought the belizian heat and it was quite good. Could have been better balanced as it was a bit heavy on vinegar but I highly recommend it.

  9. Zealousideal_Rent261

    One step up from that, their Fiery Hot Habanero.

    You may like bertie’s scorpion pepper sauce and believe it or not wegman’s storebrand habenero sauce is legit. I dont even live near a wegman’s and order it online

    If you like that one (which is one of my all time favorites too), you should try El Yucateco Carribean. It’s has that great fruity habanero taste, medium heat that’s on par with that Marie Sharp’s, and goes super well with most things. I’ve downed half a bottle in one sitting just pouring it on tortilla chips.. haha

    Other than that I’d say just anything from Marie Sharp’s in general. They are all good.. and I have to give a shout out to Secret Aardvark Original.

    Gringo Bandito (Dexter from the Offsprings own salsa)

    Yacateco, all of them. Some might not be your cuppa. I love the black hab but treat it like liquid smoke. The green is so good I dont care it has blue dye in it. Put the grilled pineapple hab on Hawaiian pizza, ect.

  15. gorbrickon

    This is my favorite sauce. Read her story if you haven’t yet and try Belizian Heat next.

    Depends on where you are and what you can get. Anything El Yucateca will be good, and ill stand on that buisness. The black is probably the most controversial and its also my favorite, but try the original green, red and xxtra hot first. For Louisiana style hotsauce, its Crystal. The blue is great, the red is so good its the only sauce ill order online. Yellow Bird is also slightly divisive but I like it as a good on everything sort. And I am of the opinion that Tabasco original deserves a place in any kitchen

    Do the nopal sauce from Marie sharps that’s the sauce that really opened my eyes

  18. Cloey123

    Everything I’ve had from Malinda’s is also great. I do also love every Marie Sharps sauces I’ve tasted. I especially like Malinda’s XXXX reserve habanero. I fully recommend it. Great flavor and good heat without getting too hot. Malinda’s ghost pepper is a very close second that is a tiny bit hotter. I know you have been recommended Belizean Heat (and I fully recommend it) I think xxxx reserve is better

    I really enjoy the melinda’s fire roasted garlic and habanero if you can get your hands on it. Great mix of heat and flavor.

    Melinda’s – Ghost Pepper, Red Savina, Reserve.
    Tabasco – Chipotle, Habanero, Scorpion (HOT!!!)
    Torchbearer – Garlic Reaper, Ultimate Annihilation.
    Queen Majesty – Scotch Bonnet, Red Habanero.

    All depends on your spice tolerance too. I was a die hard Tabasco, Cholula, Tapatio guy all my life until I discovered what more was out there. I listed what got me started down the path and addicted to Hot Sauces in general.

    Secret Aardvark and El Yucateco are pretty widely loved on the sub. Also, see if you have a decent local scene of hot sauce makers. It is picking up in popularity and local brands can be real gem finds.

  25. bstichaa

    Go find something local. You’ll find gems and sweat

  26. SailDiveEat

    Grenada and other islands have good sauces

  27. -MaximumEffort-

    Every other variation of Marie Sharps.

  29. Altruistic-Year9648

    I really enjoy the Hellfire ones, in particular Zombie Snot

  32. reddit_chino

    Depends on what you can handle and enjoy.

    My goto that’s available everywhere is El Yucateco Green Habanero and Trader Joe’s Habanero (yellow).

  33. hiphophed85

    Melinda’s. I like MS sauces better but it’s a similar upgrade from tobasco without breaking the bank like other brands
