i was super excited when they came out with this, but after trying it i was disappointed.
the spice level is exactly what i want out of a hot sauce, but i didn’t love the flavor. it tastes kind of… dusty. but really, the lemon juice is what ruins it for me.

Interesting. I hope they haven’t gone gimmicky.
I was pretty hyped too. I saw it at a little Mexican market near me and grabbed it. Tasted it first thing when I got home and thought, ehhh – what?
Extract-based. Oh well, no thanks.
My expectations are high, but I’ll never complain about something that costs $2.
black is the king.
El Yucateco is my fav Mexican company. By “dusty”, you mean like “earthy” or brunt pepper skins perhaps? Cigars? An old library?
All you have done is intrigued me.
Yeah. I picked it up recently and agree. I would have said “cardboardy” but I hear you.
How does it compare to their XXXtra Hot Chile Habanero? That’s probably my favorite sauce ever.
Really want to try it but have also heard mixed reviews of the new sauces
