this. it's not bad at all, and sometimes just right, I suppose, depending on what you want.
I noticed they now have some lime + garlic recipe. I need to try that out....
The flavor is ok, but it's hardly "hot sauce."
:hmm_O:hmm:D:I like it too. I alternate between Cholula, Tapatio and cock sauce.
You must try the cock sauce or turn in your man card.
oh, this stuff. It's tasty, but I don't understand what people think is so special about it. it's sweet, for chrissakes!
They always had it. But it's still overpriced so I don't buy it. I cook and eat spicy food all the time so I don't use hot sauce that often. $4 for hot sauce is overpriced when I can get Crystal, Valentina, or Louisiana Hot Sauce for about $1. For $2, I can get Nando's Peri Peri XX hot sauce. For under $3, I can get 18 oz Huy Fong chili garlic sauce or 17 oz Sriracha sauce. Cholula at $4 is too expensive for me. I'm perfectly happy with the $1 hot sauce.Was at Costco on Saturday and they had two big bottles of Cholula for $7.99 - so all who complain that Cholula is overpriced, well, good luck with that argument if you got access to a Costco

As others have said, I keep Cholula in my fridge for the flavor, but it's not very spicy to me.
Not tried it, and it looks like a different flavor base, but this one could be decent. I like the flavor of the green jalapeno variety but it's not any hotter than the original.They should make a kicked up version of Cholula. The flavor is there, as you say, but they could use a spicier version.
Agreed, I like the flavor but just wish they made a version with some more heat. Not overpowering or anything like that but just something with a little more kick to add to the flavor.Sometimes you gotta pay for flavor. Crystal and Louisiana are boring vinegar and salt bombs. Cholula has flavor. Also while I do almost always have Huy Fong chili garlic sauce and sriracha in my fridge, they don't always work with the same foods as a southwestern or Mexican style hot sauce and vice versa. There is some overlap of course - sriracha and cholula are both great with eggs for example.

I did that once with Vodka and the relationship we once had was never the same........It's ok. Cholula is basic stuff, used to love it but kinda over did it one time and never really liked it since.
You want a bit more heat but still nothing crazy, but also flavor that pairs great with almost everything? Secret Aardvark is your huckleberry. They make a black bean garlic hot sauce that is terrific too.
Then just buy a bottle of real hot sauce and put a few drops of that in. It won't be enough to substantially change the flavor but will add the kick you seek over many bottles.Agreed, I like the flavor but just wish they made a version with some more heat.

You’re paying for damn marketing. Read the ingredient list for Cholula and compare it to Crystal and Louisiana. You‘re paying for overpriced water with Cholula.Sometimes you gotta pay for flavor.

GTFO out with that shit. I ain't no kitchen connoisseur with the time to buy different types of specialty hot sauces to add to another type of hot sauce only to find out that it doesn't taste like I thought it would. Oh then I get to start the whole process over again right?? Then what do I do with the bottle I just bought to add to the hot sauce I just bought?? Fuck that. If you wanna go down that road then do it but it's not for me.Then just buy a bottle of real hot sauce and put a few drops of that in. It won't be enough to substantially change the flavor but will add the kick you seek over many bottles.
For example this, which seems expensive until you consider how long it would last if using only a few drops per bottle of the other stuff:
Reading ingredients is good. If you read the ingredients for Louisiana hot sauce and Crystal hot sauce, for example, you will see two noticeable differences from Cholula - the former two have just one type of pepper, while Cholula has two, but even more important is Cholula has spices in it. Hence the actually having better flavor. I mean Cholula is acknowledged for having more flavor because that style of hot sauce does use spices for flavor, whereas classic American hot sauces are mostly just a chili pepper, vinegar and salt. That's it. Also if you read reviews comparing the top most popular hot sauce brands, this does get mentioned. The having more flavor and spices in it part.You’re paying for damn marketing. Read the ingredient list for Cholula and compare it to Crystal and Louisiana. You‘re paying for overpriced water with Cholula.
Crystal at $1 >>>>>> $4 Cholula. Don’t pay more for inferior product..
Woah lets just back this train of thought up for a second.Cholula is okay. I use Yucatan Sunshine on eggs, Valentina on most everything else. Tabasco and Franks can GTFO. Both are terrible.
