    Melisa’s green sauce and de la viudas green sauce was great so I assume the red would be as well

    I like the Mexicana sauce. You can slather it on pretty much anything

  3. I heard people on this sub say De la Viuda tastes like Cholula used to, but I haven’t tried it yet. The Melinda’s green sucks, haven’t tried the Mexicana. Valentina is good. Hank’s is good, though very mild.

    Melinda’s sauces are usually solid. They won’t wow you but they are still good. The green one was ok but definitely not a favorite.

    I’ve never tried that particular Hanks, but I like all the others I’ve tried. And they’re normally spendy. Grab that for sure.

    That Melinda’s green one is the worst sauce I’ve ever had.

    The green isn’t very good, but the Mexicana is amazing on almost everything so far.

    Valentina extra hot is a great sauce for Mexican dishes. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

    Big fan of the Melinda’s Green sauce, but don’t go in expecting anything other than flavor

    Hanks have amazing flavor, Valentina black label is my go to.

  10. Nah get Melinda’s in the glass bottle or don’t buy it. That Valentina Extra Hot is worth a buy though for sure.

    That Valentina Black is an easy grab

    For Melinda’s, I thought the Melinda’s was okay but not great. I actively dislike the Melinda’s green. YMMV

    Valentina Black is a constant sauce for me.

    De la Viuda red is like a better version of Cholula.

    Hank Sauce Camouflage is excellent. It’s like a bougie version of a Louisiana style sauce and the clearance price is great. Definitely get it.

    Melinda’s Mexicana ia mediocre, I’d skip.

    Melinda’s Green Sauce is awful. Tastes stale and dull, definitely skip it.

    If you’re in Publix they have have Tia Lupita OG in the Mexican section. If you see it get it.

    Yesssss! The green is my favorite. Put it on everything

    To echo another comment here:

    Find Tia Lupita

    De la Viuda is like Cholula but better.

    Skip the Melinda’s and find Tia Lupita.

    For the price, you should definitely scoop up every bottle they have of that Hank’s Camo!

    Valentina Black is always a great choice.

    Find Tia Lupita lol.

    The Habenaro Mustard is surprisingly good and versatile.
