Julio's chips and Mateo's medium salsa FTW.

We had a meeting with United Supermarkets last week. If we get in there we'll be in stores all over the DFW area soon. Fingers crossed.

Good news! We got Gunslinger Salsa into United Supermarkets! We'll be in their Market Street stores within the next month! Will carry both the Locked & Loaded and Original Mild. Cheers!

Big fan of Salsa DeLeon. Made in Canyon Lake, TX. Sold in HEB and other stores.

I'm not a fan of Mateo's. It has extremely to much Cumin it's nasty.

I'm a big fan of their "Texas mild".
Spoiler, they're joking about it being mild.


That's funny - because I bought the hot stuff and I thought they re joking calling it hot.

Gunslinger Original Mild Salsa will be in stores within 2-4 weeks. First batch was made yesterday.

Not salsa but I grabbed this today at HEB. Pretty damned awesome. I could eat this on everything from pulled pork to ice cream.

Staff - take out the trash.

This is now available at HEB...at least in the greater Austin area. It's the best creamy jalapeno that I've every had personally and I was on a mission recently to find that best available version in stores and this is it by a mile!!!
If you like this style of salsa, check out The Kenney Store Green Sauce. The Kenney Store is in between Brenham and Bellville. It's also available at the Bellville Meat Market which is always worth the trip. I've heard the Brookshire's in Navasota also carries it.

I've never tried the Tacodeli stuff to compare, but the Kenney Store version blows Chuy's version out of the water.

This stuff is the truth

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.

Chuy's jalapeno ranch is nothing like taco deli jalapeno. Pretty sure TD is just jalapeno and olive oil + seasonings.

Tried Gunslinger - it's OK. La Casita is my go to these days. I've tried Mark's, Mateo's, Kylito's, Breggy Bomb and others. That La Casita extra hot is the bomb.

Kylito's is fine in a pinch. But yup, never had a store bought that remotely compares to La Casita.

HEB has 3 of the La Casitas, so if the extra hot is to much, they also have the mild and medium.

FYI, Gunslinger Salsa is now in the United Market Street Supermarkets across North and West Texas. Both the Locked & Loaded and Original Mild are on shelves.

You need to be in extreme North Texas…like Tulsa…

Hot, slightly smokey, fire-roasted, full of flavor. Natural roasted flavors, not fake smoke.

Hell yes I'm putting a jar of mild and a jar of locked and loaded Gunslinger in my basket right now at Market Street in Frisco. Didn't have it at the specs I went to a couple of months ago.

This jar of medium La Casita has major kick.
It's pretty good but I prefer the Gunslinger overall.
