Not including salsa verdes, salsa Serrano, salsa tatemada, etc but those aren’t really in the same category.
Literally anything is better than Tapatío though.

Cannot change your mind, you’re correct.

Yep, I always have a bottle in front of me, it’s better than a frontal lobotomy

Cholula has the best flavor in my opinion, it’s just so versatile…but for a more Mexican flavor, Valentina imo.

It’s great!

Out of the standard Mexican red sauces like Cholula and Valentina I would agree that Tapatio is the best. But it 100% comes down to just personal preference because all 3 are really great and I’d never say no any of them.

Can’t believe no one has said Huichol or Tamazula

I love tapatío, I want a tapatío that is spicy

It is a sauce, very sauce!

El Yucateca Kutbil-ik *Mayan* Sauce over most hot sauces but a runner up would be Valentina Extra Hot black label,

Tapatio is pretty damn good, but my vote has hands down got to go to San Luis. Good flavor, cheap, big ass bottle, and you can use endless amounts it’s a sauce that’s more about flavor than heat, but sometimes I don’t absolutely need the euphoria that comes from absence of pain following a killer sauce.

There’s plenty, cholula, Valentina, but my personal fav? El Yucateco

False – Del Molcajete and El Yucateca for Mexican food all day

This was my gateway sauce. I started here then found black label Valentina before finding my way to my current all time favorite Mexican style sauce. XXXhot El Yukateco.

I’ve been really enjoying tapatio a lot recently. Started with Cholula and I feel like tapatio just has an edge over it.

I like all of the main 3 (Cholula, Valentina, Tapatio). I generally switch up and rotate them.

Green Tabasco and Cholula. Also green El Yucateco

De la Viuda, that’s the one.

Nah, Melinda’s is my go-to. Both the hot sauces and “condiment” sauces.

Valentina black label, gringo bandito
[Chimay Negra](https://chilehabanero.mx/) my favorite all around bottled salsa. And for seafood, like tostadas de ceviche, [salsa huichol](https://www.salsahuichol.mx/) is the best.
And for snacks, [La Botanera](https://www.labotanera.com/) of course. 😁
Also [Norte salsa macha](https://salsanorte.com/tienda/p/mezcla-de-granos-chile-morita), but that’s more like a chili oil.

Valentina’s
Meh. Tabasco is a better common sauce.
EL Yucateco sauces are about the same price and way better.
El yucateco xxxtra is top tier.
If you are from California maybe. Valentina extra hot is my personal favorite.
Cholula is better hands down
El Yucateco and Gary are top tier IMO.
Yucateco will always be the better one. I also love all the Mexico Lindo hot sauces
Valentina
Yucateca Caribbean is becoming a staple in my rotation these days
