“Great taste and reasonable heat. Would have appreciated a squeeze bottle, but the traditional glass is fine.”

“Both variants of the Los Calientes sauce are two of the best sauces I've ever tasted. I'd say his one is slightly hotter than the regular one, but not by much. The difference between the original and Rojo sauces is clear, but difficult to describe. At times, I've felt like the Rojo has a slight aftertaste that reminds me of... fungus. But I guess it's just more herby or something. I said in my review of the original version that it tastes like golgappas. I can't say the same for this one. One thing I'd like to note here is that I disagree with their placement in Hot Ones lineups. I expected them to be a lot hotter. I categorize both Los Calientes sauces as "sweet" sauces. So much that I can use them to recover from eating much spicier sauces.”

“Absolutely love the green and love this one even more!!! Just recently got my grandpa hooked too. This is good on everything, much like with the rest of their sauces. Mexican food, pizza, fries...anything. I have a hot sauce problem thanks to Los Calientes.”

“The heat was there, but it's still abundantly clear that flavor was the priority. This sauce has enough bite to let you know it's there, but it's not going to overpower you. My only complaint is that I don't *love* the flavor the way I loved some of the others. It's very good, but I think the tomatillo flavor comes through just a tad too strong. I would have liked it to be a tad thicker and a more balanced flavor. Overall, I'd still recommend it to anyone.”

“Very flavorful and a decent amount of heat. Now my biggest problem is deciding which hot sauce to use since I have bought quite a few now. Still loving the Last Dab XXX though.”
