The best salsa sauce I ever had. Can't do without them. I use it in many dishes from breakfast to dinner. It gives dishes a very unique taste without being to spicy, just enough.
I have been using this salsa for years in California, which is pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately, I moved to Puerto Rico and can't find it, thus why I ordered it. Glady that I was able to find it via your website along with my beloved Salsa Pato. Can't live without them, they have a unique salsa flavor. Love, love them.
