It's by far the best one I've had in the non fruit forward group

    I’ve found there’s a serious love/hate reaction to this sauce.

  2. JakeStout93

    People hate it on Reddit lol. I love it and think it’s great as well. Very complex and Smokey. You have to eat it on the right food. People are probably putting it on pizza or something stupid

  3. MisterGoldenSun

    We do! It’s the most polarizing sauce in the sub. I am on the “hate” side even though I like other El Yucateco sauces.

  4. Cuz some of us think it’s nasty. People defend and like it though it still sells. It taste like ash/charcoal.

  5. Embarrassed666

    I talk about it all the time I LOVE this sauce

  6. side_frog

    It’s talked about a lot. Some hate it, some love it

    i love this sauce it is one of my all
    time favs, so so so good on smoked pork

  8. Sevenfootschnitzell

    Think of it like a nice smoky scotch. Half the people hate it, half the people love it. It reminds me of a dirty ashtray, but in a good way. I like it.

    I hated it at first, then I grew to love it and now it’s my favourite hot sauce

    I love that people hate my favorite hot sauce. More for me!

  11. rawmeatprophet

    They do like every third day right here in this sub

  12. I think the color and smokiness might be off putting but in a blind taste test I’m sure it’d do very well. It’s my 2nd favorite behind the Xxxtra hot green stuff.

    It is a wonderful addition to barbecue sauce if you want to up the spice and smokiness. A little bit goes a long way and I use it on a lot of meat I want to taste smokey but am too lazy to smoke.

  14. DeliciousPumpkinPie

    They do? I see this sauce mentioned all the time. Often in the context of it being a very “love it or hate it” sauce.

    “Many people don’t know this… but El Yucateca black is… very-very powerful stuff.”

    I love it, one of my favorites. I usually keep 2 bottles at home so I dont have any down time in between using up one and opening another. So good.

  17. AmishHomage

    This one is a 10/10 for me. I don’t even generally like smoky flavors but something about this one just hits right

  18. TheHeianPrincess

    I normally hate really smoky tasting stuff, lapsang souchon tea made me vomit but I actually really liked this on pepperoni or meat feast pizza! I also added some into my portion of
    chilli I batch cooked for my partner and myself, gave it a really nice smoky spicy taste!

  19. Bombinic

    Because it’s already been established as ‘fucking ossum’.

  20. I love this sauce. It’s polarizing, but from my days in SoCal at taquerias it reminds me of a flavor that I cannot forget, but rarely replicate.

  21. disconappete

    I usually go through about a bottle every couple of months. I find it to be good on everything

    Waaaaaaah? You must be new here man, this is one of the most divisive hot sauces out there!
    Some love the smokey sourness, others cringe at its intensity. A very hot topic.
