Living in LA we have terrific choices in hot sauces. Strolling though the local Vallarta Market, I grabbed a few new flavors to try. I grabbed the 49 cent espeical in the plastico bottle and behold my gringo tastebuds have found a new paradise fresh from Sinaloa.
From the standard Cholula of Jalisco and Tapatio of Guadalajara to the sudeo-exotic Gringo Bandito of San Diego, hop upon the magic winged Macaw and soar into the mountains of complex flavor and delight. Go to your local Latino/Hispanic/Mexican market and ask for La Guacamaya. Once you taste it, you will see why they sell it by the liter and 5 liter bottles too.

Im a big hot sauce fanatic and i have a cabinet full of them. Personally, anything made of scorpion pepper is my favorite tasse. But its hard to find that everyday in your grocery store.
So my go to, and i highly, highly suggest to anyone who enjoys a strong heat and strong flavor but missing the acidic after tone of ghost pepper sauce to try Texas Pete's Hotter Hot Sauce. Its only $0.97 at the grocery store and my favorite.

I like regional sauces.. I had a bunch from Antigua and Dominica in the Caribbean.. they were pretty tasty! One of my former employees who went to medical school there sent them to me.
http://www.susieshotsauce.com/ I also love HOT too, so volcano dust, blairs, and daves usually have a place in my spice cabinet. I always have tapatio and cholula on hand at home as well as petes, and louisiana. |

great stuff for the money. |

Texas Pete. End of thread. 
Whatevs. FYI OP, Cholula is the only commercially available hot sauce made with the pequin pepper, a small flavorful pepper indigenous to the Mexican region. I'm a huge fan of pequin peppers and do like Cholula. My favorite sauce is homemade from scorpion and pequin peppers. |

Yep. End the thread here boys. |

The best hot sauce known to man is in New York,of all places. It's a somewhat pricey $12 for a Corona bottle of it but if you are ever travelling across on I-84,go south on route 9 for about a half mile and get some from Maya Cafe.
I have a cabinet full of every variety of Tabasco,Cholula original,lime,and chipotle,Texas Pete,Franks,a couple kinds of Dave's Insanity,Louisiana,Crystal,Buffalo,Yucateco and who knows what else I can't recall and nothing off a shelf comes close. |

My go to hot sauce is Valentina Extra Hot. It's about a buck for a massive bottle.
I also keep sriracha around for stir frys, regular Tabasco for eggs, and chipotle Tabasco for when I want something with a little more flavor. For the ultimate in heat, a local burrito place makes a sauce with Trinidad Scorpion and ghost pepper. Let's just say a bottle of that lasts a long time. |

My daughter works at a fruit and vegetable store and they have a line of hot sauces there.
I've been to Thailand, Mexico and Korea and have eaten indig hot foods there with no issue. I can't find a pic of it but it's called: TSAR BOMB This shit, is off the fucking hook hot. |

The Chili-Lime is very, very good. I enjoy all of the Cholula sauces. They're very mild, but add enough spice to make things interesting. They are not as vinegary as Tabasco. |
| For most plates I like Cholula. It's not hot, but I really like the flavor. For some plates, I like the Vietnamese Chili Garlic sauce from Huy Fong. This is a little hot, but still not unmanageable. I can (and have) eaten much hotter sauces, but generally they usually taste like ass. |

I'm a few miles away from Hot Sauce Depot... I've had a couple of orders from them  I don't like the really hot stuff, I just like some warm flavor. Cholula garlic and green Tabasco are my cheap standbys  Widow - No Survivors is a pretty hot one. I literally used one or two drops to warm up a bowl of bland chili, it just doesn't have any flavor to it though. |

I also received a bottle of ass blaster as a gift, it has an extract that will light you up (some dude on youtube @3:50)
