I don't mind On The Border's jarred salsa because it is super sweet. I like that for some reason. However, most just aren't that good and I assume it is because they have to put in so much extra crap to preserve it. Just buy it fresh or better yet, make a fresh batch at home. It is super easy to make a homemade salsa with some tomatoes (can even use canned), onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro and some spices.

Sometimes easier said than done.
You're talking numerous ingredients, chopping out the ace, then you're gonna have to mix them all up in a bowl.
That's not nearly as easy as twisting the cap off of a jar.

so if preserving is the problem, why not take fresh salsa and jar it in the old school mason jar method? it would be good on the shelf for a year i would imagine
The old school mason jar method is exactly the same as the factory production method: heat. You literally boil the sealed jars of homemade salsa for a specified amount of time in order to make them shelf stable. So the salsa tastes cooked, just the the damn factory produced salsa from Newmans, pace, Taco Hell, or whereever.

Jarred salsa contains a lot of vinegar. I don't like the sour overriding the other flavors. So, home made is the best. But it's inconvenient. When I buy jarred I get Mateos.

Your pow pow was a good man in good company. It's just good stuff with great shelf life.
Some of these queers are insufferable. Put Pace in a small jar with some dude with a beard and they'd buy it for $15 a jar.

I've also tried many and found most overcooked and bland.
Rick Bayless's Frontera Grill line of salsas are pretty good, though expensive. They were also a favorite in a Serious Eats taste test. I've seen them in Kroger and World Market.
I also don't mind Hell On The Red.

Not for salsa. You described pico de gallo or salsa Fresca. Salsa can be dropped in a food processor. Then you get a nice smooth consistency. I'm not a fan of chunky salsa. That's just pico de Gallo to me.

If I don't buy it from a restaurant, I pick up some Julio's in the refrigerated section. I'll also grab some in store made pico to toss in it. I like pico in salsa.

My parent-in-laws used to hook us up with a dozen jars of homemade salsa made by a Mexican lady in Odessa, TX every time they visited. Sadly the woman making the salsa quit or got in trouble for not having a permit. This is what we get now:

Dfw and Austin have fantastic jarred salsa. Matteo's, Flyboys, and Royitos are all top notch.
9 times out of 10 I just make my own though.

Holy crap they still make Hell on the Red?? My mom used to buy that in the 80s. Julios hot is truly delicious, she brings it to Lousiana for me on her trips from Texas

Malcos is available in many BR grocers in the refrigerator sections and it's great. Short shelf life though.
