    El Yucateco Habanero and Chiltepin is great. The habanero ghost is good, but extract based so not my favorite.

    Valentina Marisco looks new to me I would go for. Start slow like 1 bottle per week. Treat it like a little extra per weekly shopping. Your collection will grow exponential unless you clean bottles quickly! New ones go quickly for the 1st week or 2 then slow off to focus on the next new one. Rinse and repeat 🙂

    Not much there. The Valentina extra hot is what I’d leave with, though.

    Valentina for chorizo and egg tacos is my all time go to. El Yucateca is great on many things, but it brings the HEAT. The one on the far right with the yellow label and red wrap is my fav.

    I would have instinctively gone for one bottle of the yucateco xxxtra hot and maybe one other one. it kinds comes down to tolerance and what u prefer to taste

    Top right. Chamoy is the sauce for champs!

    I would grab one of every flavor of El Yucatecos if they were reasonable ($2-$3)

    You can never really go wrong with tapatio or even franks red hot

    Just buy the whole row of El Yuc Caribbean.

    Of what’s here, I’d say chalula

  15. fourdigityear

    Tajin on watermelon is amazing. One of my favorite dry spiced.

  17. KyleSJohnson

    I’d go with the blue Valentina and the El Yuca habanero and ghost. But follow your heart, my friend!

  18. SirVallanstein

    Cholula in the chili garlic if they have it.

  21. Kdiesiel311

    That guacamole habanero stuff fat right bottom shelf is great. Not super spicy but any means but really tasty

  22. miss-janet-snakehole

    Personally I like the purple El Yucateco and the XXXhot one

  23. Aggravating_Fig_8585

    I’m out of Tapatio so that’s what I’d be picking up.

  24. from_chaos11

    Extra hot Valentina good.

    Not shown: Melinda’s ghost pepper sauce

    Love all el yucateco but valentina extra hot is a daily driver

  27. dairsensi

    I’ve had pretty much everything on that shelf. If I had to pick one, it would hands down be the XXXtra hot El Yucateco. It has a decent heat, but a really good flavor. It hits just right. I mostly eat it with chicken.

    I bet that chiltepen sauce on middle row, second from right is good. I love chiltepin sauces. They dont have a weird, fruity taste like habanero, but still pack heat

  30. GoBackToLeddit

    yucateco is probably the best of all those mid-tier sauces. check ingredients for food dyes like red 40 if you’re conscious of that. no idea why a hot sauce needs food dye

  31. Scamalama

    Tajin for your veggies, margaritas and cheladas

  33. Visual-Structure-808

    Tapatio is always good to have on hand. XXX Yucateco goes good on anything.

  34. Maleficent_Excuse656

    Just get 1 of each el yucateco and have fun… they all taste good tbh

  36. Feisty-Candidate3693

    Any of the el yucateca or the Valentina

  37. verynormalsimple

    I own a couple from there
    El Yucateco Ghost is very brutal
    Tajin is great for Michelada Beer
    Cholula is mild
