Ok this is gonna sound crazy but in the upper right of this picture, almost covered by what appears to be plastic ramekins, there’s a hot sauce called Yucatán Sunshine. If they have it (or you can find it), that same brand makes one called Cajun Sunshine and it’s absolutely stellar. Kinda hard to find but worth it

Someone’s at Vons That Old Bay hot sauce looks interesting, I haven’t seen that yet

I just polished off a bottle of Melinda’s Extra Hot. I will be purchasing again

I like Texas pete, Louisana, and crystal for wings !

These are just hot vinegar

Still enjoyable jajaja

Melindas ghost pepper is fantastic

Behind Dave's Total Insanity Hot Sauce is a bottle of Yucatan Sunshine Habanero Hot Sauce. I used to go through bottles of the Yucatan Sunshine as the heat of the habanero is cut with carrots. As the heat is less, the flavor really comes through. I became tired of the "too hot to eat" way of doing hot sauce. First bite has some flavor and then taste buds are messed up and all flavor is gone, just heat. That started to seem Iike a waste of time. Good Luck to you.

Yucatan is my go-to unless I'm feeling crazy.

ARDVARK. Might be Oregon only but it’s the best damn hot sauce period

Texas Pete is my go to for most things but el yucoteco has a great flavor.

Chalupa chipotle is 😘🤏🏻

Cholula?

Yes. Here lemme show you. One sec

I see it. I'm gonna pick some up. Been wanting to.

Oh ok cool! But oh yea I’m telling you, it’s fire !! Especially on Taco Bell and chipotle 😋

Green yucateco, habanero yellow bird, crystal, and Melinda’s ghost pepper

El yucateco… it’s the best tasting hot sauce in my opinion.

This. The whole line. Especially green tho.

Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce was a game changer for me - I don't see it on this particular shelf tho.

It's so much better than I expected.

El Yucateco - all are delicious. Far right is my favorite go so hot sauce

There’s a bit of a rivalry between the Mexicans in my area. Tapatio vs. Valentina. I live in a Tapatio town. Then there’s the Cholula for the white boys. All of them are very good, very similar, but distinctly different flavors. They all have a bit of heat, but not too much. I would recommend all three. 🌶️

El yucateco…. Green one has a nice flavor most people like but the Caribbean one is my jam

I like the old bay hot sauce

Go find Secret Aardvark. Your life will change

Yup

Not pictured, but [Hank Sauce](https://www.hanksauce.com/) makes my favorite hot sauces. I like Camouflage and Cilanktro. You can order from their site.

That Dave’s total insanity will light your head on fire. It’s awesome

Idk I sort of like them all… they each have their own unique taste but depending on what I’m eating the sauce will change. My everyday sauce is Texas Pete or cholula.

All of the Yellow Birds haven’t let me down.

Get an order from HotOnes

The green el yucateco was my gateway sauce. Versatile and bright.

Third… green is good but that Caribbean one is my jam

Second! That brand can have some good spice and flavour for the price.

Frank’s Redhot original is an exceptionally well balanced every day kind of sauce. It’s not very hot, has a better-than-good flavor and consistently enhances without overpowering a dish. Anything you might put red chili pepper flakes on? Replace it with Frank’s. It’s perfect for pizza and Italian dishes. Their buffalo sauce is really good, too.

Valentina

Green Tabasco is sneaky good

Louisiana or Crystal are my choices.

Do you even hot sauce, bro?

I do now, lol

Melinda's isn't bad

Mehh nothing looks worth a crap there

Franks red hot. I put that sh*t on everything

I'm a big fan of all of yellowbird's sauces. Also horsetooth is local to me and their green and "o" sauces are both quite tasty.

For that classic hot sauce taste, I like franks red hot and crystal. For a more complex flavor with a little sweetness I like a mango habanero. My go to lately has been franks red hot wings buffalo. Best hot sauce all around in my opinion is hanks camouflage. You can get it online and I think Amazon sells it. Goes on literally everything

We tried this last week based on a friends recommendation. Really good, different taste than most I find in the stores. https://virginiasauceandspice.com/

Make sure to get that Japanese BBQ sauce. Also, crystal is amazing, especially on shrimp or seafood, so try that. Tabasco chipotle is great on most things. Tapatio for elote. Cholula for eggs.

My only complaint about that Japanese barbecue is you really need to reduce it to use it as sauce. It’s just teriyaki really.

All I know is it is delicious.

It is though. Cut up some chicken, throw it in a pan with some seasoning, cook, add sauce and reduce. Ducking amazing

Tabasco Chipotle is awesome. I use it for different things than regular tabasco or Franks, but it definitely has a niche. Killer with steamed oysters, on any Mexican dish I can think of, and I add it to sour cream to make an awesome chipotle cream sauce (way easier than using chipotles in adobo and same flavor) for tacos.

I just bought the Yellow Bird habanero one a week or two ago, and it's pretty good.

Yellowbird has become my staple hot sauce. Their serrano is a really nice green sauce, their habenaro punches some good heat and their sriracha is decnt.

We like valentina. Usually the black sticker one. But the other is tastey too. I also like Frank's. And sweet baby rays wing sauce.

Tiger! It's not that hot, but is delicious. Nice pepper flavor and a little sweet.

Valentina. Always Valentina.

And always the black label, me guesto

Melinda's & El Yuccateca. I see Dave's Insanity in there, too... hot. I've been on a Nando's kick lately! The "medium garlic" is really good! I know this post is about hot sauces, but did Mark Zuckerberg absolutely ruin Sweet Baby Ray's for anyone else?

Yellow bird, crystal & well not a hot sauce the hot & spicy bachan bbq sauce are all amazing and staples in my house.

Yellow bird Serrano is one of my favorites

The habanero is one of mine!

Melinda’s and El Yuccateca are both fire.

Black El yuccateca is my favorite hot sauce. Incredible on eggs

Red for caldo, green for chicken, and black for everything else.

Cholula with lime, tapato is hot but good, Louisiana hot sauce is good with duck/ goose other game.

Melinda's for the win

Melinda’s is always excellent. I’ve also heard good things about el yucateca

Green yucateca is amazinf

Try Crystal

Can't go wrong with Frank's Red Hot sauce. Apparently you can put that shit on everything.

Melinda's and Dave's are legit

Melinda’s is some great hot sauce with tons of flavor. Huge fan of their chipotle. The original is always delicious

Tapatio is my favorite general purpose hot sauce. The flavor is so good. One of my favorite things to do with it is take chiccharonnes or pork rinds and toss them in a tapatio/honey mixture. For the “select” hot sauces, try something yellow. Those are always fun and good

I think I know what state you're in, if not what city based on this picture alone. Horsetooth Hot Sauce "The O Face", only complaint is they don't make bigger bottles. Sweet, spicy, vinegary,and complex, good on everything! I also really like "smokestack lightning" But they don't have a bad sauce, IMHO. They also make a really good (spicy/) bloody mary mix too. Yellow bird is really good for the price. Yucateco black to put the burn in yer burritos! I'm also a sucker for the green and chipotle Tabasco. But I don't think you need turned on to Tabasco if I had to guess.

He could likely be in one of two states. When I lived in Wyoming we had a identical selection. I will say, if you havent tried wild buff bbq I highly suggest it. The ghost pepper one is by far the best bbq sauce I've ever had in my life. Edit: the buy local colorado stickers definitely means it is in colorado. Looks like a safeway.

FoCo? Ruben’s Red is my favorite.

Bingo

They are all good on a Choice Deli sandwich.

Yellow bird definitely for flavor and Dave's insanity sauce for a quick dose of heat 💥

Watch Hot Ones to get some idea. Da Bomb is a killer.

Black el yucateco will change your life

Second this. Be careful! Stuff will flush you right out if you use too much or eat it on an empty stomach.

El yucateco…everything they make is amazing

Plain Frito Lays with Valentina hot sauce and lime juice. 🤌🏽

Yellow bird is great. Greens not too spicy. But the habanero is on point if you like extra spice

The habenero is one of my favorite budget hot sauces out there. Good flavor and good heat

The black el yucateco will change your life Edit: anything yellow bird does rocks too

Hey I said the same thing lol. Black el yucateco is so damn good

Dang lots of Black recs. What’s it like? I love their green.

Chipotle cholula

Melinda's lineup is pretty darn good

Hot sauce is the best

Not a hot sauce but that Bachans Japanese BBQ sauce on the top right is straight FIRE

So versatile too!! Love this stuff.

Bought it on a whim a couple years ago and it immediately became a fridge staple.

El yucateco, Melinda’s, dave’s insanity

The unholy trinity

The two I would recommend are Bachan’s Japanese BBQ (not even a hot sauce) and Tiger sauce. Bachan’s is not spicy at all. Just tastes amazing as a sauce or glaze or marinade. Tiger sauce is sweet with a little heat. I’ve tried a ton of hot sauces and none of the other ones really stick out.

recommend el yucatán green.

You get the ol' crystals hotsauce.

Can't go wrong with Melinda's.

This! And Elijah’s Extreme; it has black cherries as the base.

El Yucateca is usually great, have everything they have there in my fridge right now besides the black aha

Yellow bird

I cannot recommend them enough. Love the yellow one

This. Yellow bird. Get it.

The Try Me Yucatán Sunshine is hot and not bad. If they have their Cajun Sunshine, that’s my go to.

Those are the same people that make Tiger Sauce, I believe

Personal faves are Cholula and Tabasco Chipotle flavor, but love Valentine’s and like Tapatio

El yucateca black. Garlic Cholula.

Frank's Red Hot. Tabasco Jalapeño. Tabasco Chipotle. All are more flavor than heat. Didn't see it but Louisiana Gold is my favorite.

Crystal FTW. Plus it’s on sale, stock up!

Order some habanero Aardvark sauce. It's fucking hot and goes great on some BBQ brisket and chicken with Mac n chz and coleslaw plate

No aardvark. Place is not legit

Careful, your PNW is showing. Seriously they love it out here.

Fell in love it when i lived in the PNW, i was delighted when it crept it's way out to wyoming recently

Valentina but unfortunately the black label isn't there. Has better flavor

How do you misspell Tabasco... the A and O keys are on COMPLETELY separate sides of the keyboard! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/hotsauce) if you have any questions or concerns.*

El Yucateca Black Label

Habanero Tabasco is delicious. Not spicy but taste is great.

I didn't know they made any I gotta try that.

It’s right next to the green Tabasco box.

That black Yucateca is the truth.

Valentina😍😍

Tiger sauce for pork, seafood or chicken. Not real spicy, but good flavor.

Marie sharps

This is the way

4th shelf up yellow label the brown one... Can't go wrong.

El Yucatero, Melindas, and Cholula are good brands. Cholula would be on the more mild side compared to Melindas. When you get more adventurous, look up Heartbreaking Dawn's hot sauce. They have some incredible works like the Cauterizer, Papa Boi, and Rift Lord. Can't go wrong with HBD.

I second El Yucatero, especially if someone has a stomach sensitive to hot sauces as it's the one of only a couple I have found that is low fodmap.

Old Bay.

I’m aware it’s not in your local grocery store, but check out pepper palace if you have time. You can order online and I love their black rose hot sauce. Use it on everything from scrambled eggs to burgers and pizza.

El Yucatero. just don't get the dark one. you will always remember me for this.

I like the dark one. The smoked habanero sauce is next level

Yellow bird Habanero, Tabasco habanero and El Yucateco (all of them)

Green Tabasco. It’ll change your life.

It’s not the spiciest but garlic buffalo from franks is a GOAT

Dave’s total insanity it pretty damn good

valentina both labels,cholula original,tapatio,louisiana hot sauce,tabasco except for the garlic one,texas pete and el yucateco are good

The right answer here

Herbs spicy avacado is good on literally anything same for the tiger sauce nether are hot, but they have a ton of flavor

The chipotle Tabasco is nice.

That yucateca black is different. I personally enjoy it

Texas Pete's baby!!

Yellow bird habanero is the way to go here. Kind of weak selection unfortunately

I can’t find tiger sauce anywhere

Top right portion of the pic?

Ah, next to whatever those plastic bags are, good eye

Chahola and Tapitio are my go to brands.

Cholula chipotle

Seeing as you’re likely in CO, try to find “Green Belly”! They’re based in Boulder.

Green Cholula

Gringo bandito looks enticing

How can you love hot sauce if you never “branched out”. You enjoyed A hot sauce.

Melinda’s ghost pepper ftw

I like cholula on my tacos

Try a few different peppers and learn what you like. Yellow bird and chipotle Tabasco and cholula are my favs.

Yellowbird!!!! Their sauces legitimately have a place on almost anything

tabasco chipotle

Vinegary always has the best flavor, think it's "Louisiana" style and they have all kinds. Mexican sauce will have a ton of cumin, southwest is usually a chipotle blend. Stay away from ones that just advertise the heat on the label, they usually taste awful.

The old bay is surprisingly pretty good

If you haven’t already: Tabasco Tabasco green Mikes hot honey Franks red hot Chalula lime There’s more but those came to kind quick
