“This bottle never lasts more than 2 weeks in my house! It's not very spicy but the flavor is amazing! It's one of the "fruitier" sauces from Heatonist. I've had it on both chicken wings and vegan nuggets. Highly recommend!”

“I cant handle very hot. For reference the mmango habanero at bdubs is way too hot for me. I was scared when i read 40k scolville. Well im here to tell you its not that hot. It has a great taste and ive been slathering it all over grilled chicken and tacos. Wish the bottle was bigger or it was a little hotter so id use less”

“Should I write a review for this hot sauce? What if the review sparks a movement, a spice-and-flavor-fueled movement so intense that it drains the repository of the Los Calientes sauce I covet so dearly? Fine, I'll risk it. This is my favorite hot sauce on earth. There is a local chain (3), a Tex-Mex themed restaurant in my hometown that makes their own "picante" sauce. You can put it on their tacos, their enchiladas, their nachos, naked chips, or even the silverware. It is smokey, fruity, peppery, and delicious. To the point where when ordering take out I ask for "a lot of picante. No, not like an extra mini-tupperware. Like, an obscene amount of picante. I want you to be putting it in the bag and thinking that this person is messing with me, but I'm not." Years ago when I first tried this sauce, I was blown away. I found my great white buffalo. The thing I've never been able to recreate at home. Los Calientes is my holy grail.... of hot sauces. Namely, I eat it on tacos or anything that comes in or near a tortilla. But it is good on eggs, chicken, pork, and everything. I'll add it to marinades if there's some flavor goal I've yet to achieve by adding random spices. My wife, who thinks that milk is too spicy, even loves this sauce. Last week she, after taking a bite of my calientes-laden taco, exclaimed, "why is this sauce so good??" There are no scientific answers. Just luck. We're lucky this sauce was made and shared with the world. Don't question it. Just buy it, use it, revel in its glory, and then buy some more when you drink it dry. You're welcome.”

“Got the Season 17 line up for my birthday last November and this was my favourite by far! Nice flavour, the cumin comes through. Amazing on everything - eggs, pizza, chicken, tacos...I'm in Canada but I'm reviewing because I just have to rebuy this despite the $14 shipping!”
