A good, fresh salsa verde
Yellowbird Habanero Sauce, Tapatío, Valentina, Sriracha.
Valentina. Not very hot, but I like it and use it like ketchup.
Try the black label if you want a bit more heat.
Hot sauce is for people who dont enjoy taste.
Encona West Indian Papaya Hot Pepper Sauce
There’s this belizean hot sauce called Marie Sharp’s, I get the gold one. Doesn’t sting me at all, my family can’t handle heat, but it does the job well enough.
My favourite however is Salsa Macha. Can’t get dried pepper where I’m at though, or I’d make it myself. Goes great with just about anything, even compound butter slathered bbq steaks.
I go for salsas and chunky condiments (e.g. black bean chilli crisp, hot Indian chutneys) than just a liquid hot sauce, even then it’s sriracha.
-Homemade garlic cayenne hot sauce.
-Frank’s Red Hot. I put that shit on everything.
-Cholula for Mexican food.
Willing to share your fav garlic cayenne formulation?
I use Franks and Franks wing sauce a lot.
I live in NM so we have New Mexican Food, for that it comes pre covered in green or red chile.
Good old Tobasco.
My own sauce because it’s not cooked, without vinegar and hotter.

My store bought favorites are chili garlic Cholula and the green tabasco. I also make my own (commented on another reply about what)
El Yucateco - all of their habanero-based sauces are good. I had the black label one recently and feel like I’ve discovered a new favorite.
Kill Sauce - limited selection but really unique sauces with complex flavor profiles to balance the heat. The Habanero is exemplary, but the Carolina and Ghost versions are the pinnacle, IMO.
Current favorites are The Seventh Reaper and Heartbeat Scorpion. Tasty and hot but not stupid hot.
Oh and in the milder end: Dirty Dick’s Hot Pepper Sauce With a Tropical Twist
