that's a good one i know. it's just too hot for me and kills the flavor of whatever i'm using it on.

Mexican hot sauces don’t have flavor?

News to me.

I have to respectfully disagree. Just look at the ingredient labels.

Typical LA hot sauces are remarkably beautiful in their simplicity. Not only taste better but minus all the artificial stuff in Mexican versions. Like sodium benzoate, etc.

Mufuka, Sriracha is better on Mexican food than Mexican hot sauce. How the shite can Mexican hot sauce be better on Cajun food or anything else than Louisiana hot sauce???? Please tell me you are just trolling? I could respect that.

The original isn't, but the Sweet Habanero is. I've taken to putting it in my Blood Marys lately.

I really like El Yacateco XXXTRAH HOT



The similar version called Black Label Reserve is good, but it has a smoky flavor



The red sauce is OK for the price but not worth buying



The green one to me is my least favorite as I don't find it that spicy or flavorful. I prefer Dave's Insanity Jalapeno Sauce to this one (but to each his own and glad you like El Yucateco b/c for the price they're hard to beat)





I haven't tried this one when I make jerk/Caribbean food but heard it's really good



I use Melinda's for those dishes



and



and the 3rd best Tabasco sauce (IMO)



I love hot sauces and matching them to different dishes/foods. Love the recs on here and keep them coming.

I love the El Yacateco XXXTRA HOT. That’s excellent. I don’t use it all that often. I mainly add it to green things. It just always works well that way. I use red sauces for red and brown foods and eggs. I agree about the black label. It’s okay but not hot enough for me.

What are your first two favorite Tabasco sauces? I love their habanero Tabasco. That’s easily my favorite. But I haven’t tried their scorpion sauce or special reserve. Even when I’m using another sauce, like Tapatio on Mexican or Louisiana on, well, Louisianan, I’ll still add some habanero Tabasco.

Scorpion and Family Reserve.

ETA;

I do agree that the Tabasco Habanero has the most depth of flavors of all their sauces. It's top notch and wouldn't argue with anyone that it's not their best sauce.

Still don’t understand your comment. Both types have flavor, just different.

ETA:
Actually, there are way more “flavor” options with Mexican hot sauces as compared to LA-style
