“Great smokey sauce! The sauces flavor will dominate the bite though. It's not subtle! I'm now on my second bottle.”

“This sauce is THICK!!! But part of the reason I love it, is due to its thickness, because who wants a runny chipotle sauce. The smoke and spice of the chipotle come through wonderfully. Adds great kick to pasta and tacos.”

“This sauce is an absolute dream. It’s super smoky and thick. Absolutely perfect for putting on ribs, which is exactly what I did. Slow cook some ribs, add this sauce on at the end, let it cook a bit longer and you’re gonna have an incredible dinner. I’m definitely gonna buy this again!”

“It’s not hot enough. Definitely not a 5, it tasted more like a 3. The heat did hang around for a few minutes. Los Calientes is a real 5, & twice as hot as this stuff. My bottle didn’t come with the fancy twine like in the picture either. The sauce did taste really good, it just wasn’t that hot and definitely not worth the price.”

“This is my favorite out of the six I first ordered. It has the consistency of tomato paste; and sticks to every bite. And the chipotle heat is present, but the flavor is what takes center stage for me. Been inviting coworkers and friends to try some and just telling them the heat level is has some heat to it. They all loved what were tasting. Dawson's took a simple list of ingredients and made something special.”
