“My favorite, best, #1 hot sauce. Maybe just my favorite sauce in general. It's my new ketchup. I can use this on just about anything. I love the flavor. This is the sauce that made me start reaching for hot sauce on every meal. It has the perfect balance of sweetness and heat for me. It's a medium heat, not too hot for me, but just right. This is one of my three favorite along with Queen Majesty Red Habanero & Black Coffee, which has a very different and unique flavor and Hotter than El, which is more like a salsa to me and I love on tacos and such.”

“Wow! Idk how y’all did it, but you made a better version of Taco Bell sauces. I’ve always loved the flavor of TB sauce but wished there was actual spice to it. I now have that wish fulfilled. This sauce is delicious af and with just the right amount of heat. 10/10 would recommend”

“This is a fantastic, perfect sauce. Such a great flavor. I almost can't have Mexican food without it. It is smokey and just kicks up food. I love it on eggs when I want an extra pick-me-up.”

“This sauce packs an insane amount of delicious, sweet, smokey flavor, right alongside *just* the perfect amount of heat - not too hot to be distracting or obnoxious, but not so mild that it feels like any old condiment. This became an instant go-to from the moment I tried it, and I'm ordering two more bottles as I write this review because I went through my first in less than a month. When you read the other reviews that say this is well worth it - believe them. This goes on almost every meal I can pair it with.”

“Great flavor! I’ve only ordered a few sauces from Hot Ones so far but I’m really impressed with how serious they are about a sauce that tastes good and isn’t just hot.”

“It's so good I'll pay 12 dollars and additional shipping for it. I ordered from Heatonist mainly as a fan or Sean and crew and thought it can't be that good but I have to know. Well, everyone is right. This sauce is delicious and is the perfect addition to plenty of meals but any time we make tacos this is an absolute must have. If Taco Bell had this sauce available I might actually eat there, that's how good it is.”

“This sauce tastes great, but the heat level is a bit too medium/mild and it's pretty sweet. I can actually imagine using this as a pancake syrup or mixed into oatmeal to add flavor and a bit of sweetness. I like it a lot on eggs and sausage, but need to add something else to add a bit of heat. I can imagine it being excellent on wings or ribs, but I'd still kick it up a notch.”
