“Nice sauce. My only complaint is the sauces thickness. It was too thick to pour out of the bottle.”

“It was so thick at the top. I shook it and shook it, still wouldn’t loosen. Tried sticking a toothpick in to knock it loose, didn’t work. Had to smack it out like an old bottle of ketchup. When it finally came out, it was two different colors and smelled like nail polish. It tasted even worse! Very chemically! 0/10 for me.”

“I really enjoy the taste of this sauce - it's tropical and unique and paired great with any taco I threw at it. However there seems to be some QA or formulation issues here. The sauce has the consistency of tomato paste - it's way too thick and won't come out of the bottle without a real fight (like back when ketchup was in glass bottles). I ended up adding water to thin it out but that comes at the cost of watering down the sauce. I can't imagine this was intentional or passed through a tasting test in this state. This was an avoidable error and as much as I like the sauce, it's unfortunately not a re-buy for me.”

“This is a unique and flavorful sauce, very fruity and tropical. Paired great with tacos but there's some serious formulation or QA issue going on with the thickness of this sauce. It's essentially the texture of kinetic sand or a slightly loose tomato paste. I've added some water to my bottle to help thin it out but something really went wrong here - I shouldn't have to do the "pop it like one of those old glass ketchup bottles" on a hot sauce. It's a shame because I do like the flavor. Also, not very spicy, maybe around a 3 or 4 out of 10 for me on heat.”

“The unique flavor offerings and style remain with this Chile Lengua de Fuego sauce. While often on the sweet side, which No. 8 maintains, this delicious addition to just about any of your most-favorite dishes nearly steals the show. Not too spicy, but plenty of richness, it’s a lot like the Hot Coffee Carsauce, with a little more nuance.”

“Got excited when reading the list of ingredients, the sugary rum note is interesting and unusual the first few times, but the texture is a bit challenging for me.”

“This was the first time I've requested a refund. Awful sauce unfortunately, I really wanted to enjoy it. Too many flavors that don't work well together. Order mezcaline sauce from burns and McCoy instead. It's complex and doesn't taste like bad fruit”
