There’s not much to choose from in Spain, I’ve been buying one called Valentina lately.

Secret Aardvark habanero sauce is so, so good. I’ll put it on just about anything. It’s by no means the hottest sauce out there, but I’ll put its flavor up against any other sauce. I buy this stuff by the case at this point.
Damn, thought I’d beat you to it lol
Also highly recommend the smoky aardvark if you haven’t tried that one yet. It’s not in as many stores as the original, but it’s delicious.
I knew I would find this comment here. It’s so damn good, got some in my fridge right now.
Agreed, that and yellow bird habanero are the two sauces that I need to have a supply of at all times.
Not sure if home made is what you have in mind but for me its this https://youtu.be/-wgZ7s3YxWI
My wife got me a bottle of Da Bomb as a joke for Valentine’s and I’ve been working through that for over a year.
I was just gifted a whole season of hot ones sauces. Came with da bomb evolution and havent tried it yet
It’s definitely the worst of all of them. Zero redeeming features.
I’ve had da bomb beyond insanity before so im curious how i react to this one.
Its an experience, not a flavour.
Vicious Viper has a really nice taste and has my preferred hotness level.
Yellowbird Habenero
Depends on the application. Sriracha is good on hard boiled eggs, but Texas Pete is better on Mac and cheese.
Valentina Extra Hot
Great choice, and cheap compared to others!
The standard valentines is close to cholula sauce for a fraction of the price.
Frank’s (extra hot buffalo, too) and Sriracha are always on hand in my house, too.
I love pretty much anything by Melinda’s
Was coming to praise the Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce. It’s so good on and in so many things, but especially a chicken sandwich from a local joint we go to on Wednesdays. I look forward to that every week.
I recently got a bottle of Melinda’s Garlic & Habanero sauce. It might be my favorite hot sauce that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Ordinary ketchup.
To me any heat at all is always a detriment to enjoying the food. (I can stand some weak heat, but would never prefer it.)
Marie Sharp’s, a hot sauce company out of Belize. Sooooo good.
Carrot based Habenaro sauce: although it appears they have a few versions. (Figured if I was going to search what these were I might as well share the quick results)
Yellowbird also makes a carrot based habenero sauce that’s really good!
100%!! Probably also mentioning that Melinda’s essentially ripped off Marie’s recipes during some sheisty imporg deal.
Dirty Dick’s. Besides the obvious, being able to say “Hey, lemme put some dirty dicks on your taco,” and the like, the stuff is phenomenal. It is not for everything, like, say, a Tapatio would be, but I use it most of the time.
Dirty Dick’s is a sweet heat, and they kill it in both departments. Nowhere on the bottle do they advertise how many Scoville units, because it’s silly. They created a sweet yet spicy sauce that is perfect for pulled pork, or beef/chicken tacos, pretty much anything in the tex-mex spectrum (the texmextrum, if I may).
I have yet to try it with Asian or Indian fare, and I won’t even begin to speculate, because I am far from some culinary genius, I just follow recipes well.
So yes, allow me to shill for putting dirty dicks on your food.
Tapatío
This was my go-to for a while. I still keep this one on hand, but I recently have been defaulting to Hoff Sauce more recently. If you see it for sale, I recommend you give it a try.
Delicious sauce, but I personally wouldn’t consider that hot at all.
I love all kinds of hot sauce (sate/sambal is my #1. Does that count as sauce? It’s more a paste). But my widespread you can find this anywhere go-to for eggs and potatoes is good ol’ Tapatio. I’ll take Valentina’s too, since it’s so similar.
Gringo Bandito!
Hot sauce made by a member of the band The Offspring, mostly aimed at being a taco sauce flavor, but hard to find much more info about taste/peppers
(Figured if I was going to search what these were I might as well share the quick results)
Bingo!
Mexico Lindo Habanero is my latest favorite.
