Bought some of this since Gunslinger isn't available in Georgetown. Not all that impressed really. Had higher hopes but it's just "meh" to me.

Been finding it at the krogers around DFW. Stuff will kick you in the teeth if you aren't used to the heat. Burned a few friends who loved the taste but had to stop.



Challenge accepted! Going on the shopping list

Not seeing the Kylito appeal. It's hot, but otherwise bland.

La Casita and Gunslinger are my faves from the recos

The new lineup of Heb Mi Tienda salsas are pretty good, five varieties in cold dairy section.

Gunslinger Salsa. It's in Spec's. It's my brand, so if you haven't tried it, give it a shot and support an Aggie owned company. Medium hot, fire roasted goodness. It pretty much beats every salsa on the shelf, especially if you like a little smoke. I'm doing a demo tomorrow at the College Station Spec's from 1-4PM if anyone wants to swing by and try it.
Bought this yesterday in Victoria at Spec's and this salsa is definitely in my top 3 of favorite store bought brands.

Stocking up the Spec's warehouse with Gunslinger this week. If your store is out, they'll have it back in stock within 2 weeks.

Not a salsa but Kroger makes a helluva queso dip: aged cheddar and jalapeño. It's amazing but don't look at the ingredients.
Well…you sounded taller on radio.

On my 3rd jar(1st mild jar). Once opened, what's the approximate shelf life?

If you don't dip a chip or something in it to contaminate it, probably a month or 2 at least. It has a pretty low pH, so it lasts a long time.

Should be there, but it's up to the Spec's buyer. I have zero control over where they place the jars.

Very well. It's 2 months old and no mold so going for it.

I'm about the same. I always pour it into a bowl, no dipping from the jar.

I'll give the Gunslinger a shot.

That said my go-to for a few years now is Kylito's.

I like the hotter one but would 100% agree. Good flavor

This is it. The fire roasted isn't as hot as the green. The habanero is my favorite but it's pretty damn spicy.

This is the correct answer. If I can't find this, HEB's Mi Tienda Salsa Chili De Arbol works.
The habanero one of these is the tits.

I get a mild and a hot and mix them together for a more medium spice.
Mom, is that you? (That's exactly what my mom did with these growing up)
