This is a salsa that a Mexican restaurant near me has. I can’t get them to give me the recipe, it’s pretty spicy but also kinda a sweet flavor and definetly a slightly sweet aroma. My first thought was a mango habanero salsa but I have gotten out of them there is no mango in it, also the main pepper is chili de arbol. Does anyone here have a recipe that results in a similar looking/smelling salsa

For color I would guess half tomato and half tomatillo with chile arbol mixed in
yeah looks like a tomatillo base, they were probably boiled because cooking them changes the color from bright green to more yellow. I’m not seeing any char-bits so it wasn’t roasted in the oven.
Probably some form of:
A bunch of chile de arbols toasted lightly
A bunch of tomatillos boiled
Looks like some cilantro
Not seeing any traces of onion?
And spices (salt, msg, you said it’s sweet so maybe some sugar, others??)
Could be that simple?
is that labambas mild sauce by chance ?
lupe’s?
Since you said that its sweet it could be using ripe milpero tomatillos. They are smaller and the ripe ones are purple, but it will turn light green once you blend it. You can find them at mexican groceries.
