Great stuff
Been loving these for a long time back in California- can’t find them here in north Texas, just like the hot sauce I prefer
MexGrocer is a lifesaver! Can’t find my favorite Mexican products locally? No problem they’ve got me covered every time. Thank you!
Excellent!
Since 1991 I have LOVED Herdez. It provided me the only 'authentic' salsas I could use to make dishes I missed after returning from deployment. After I left CA for MO and them MD, it became harder and harder to find Herdez in stores (even Walmart) and the special (hot) versions were never available. MexGrocer.com provided that ability and I can now continue to make dishes for friends and family that taste somewhat like the 'authentic' dishes made for me as a child by sister's Isabelle & Victoria in my home town of Dinuba. It is a gift that Herdez can provide to you as well and if you cannot find it at your local grocer, you can at Mexgrocer.com. Thank You!
Ordered several Herdez products. One was unavailable and I received an immediate refund & apology. I appreciated Herdez products beginning in 1991 after returning home to California from extended deployment to Iraq and having suffered from the absence of Mexican/Sonoran/Latino foods that I LOVE. (began w/ Delgado's Dinuba, CA since childhood). I returned home after many years of service to find the only authentic 'homemade with love' Mexican restaurant had closed as Isabelle & Victoria could no longer run it due to age. I had to learn to make the dishes I had longed for and Herdez has been a staple in our kitchen (home) ever since. It became more difficult to find it after I left CA for MO and then MD. No one knows what 'authentic' Mex/Latino/Sonoran is on the east coast. Not one restaurant that has Abuelita making fresh tortillas for your meal; common in CA (especially in Latino/Sonoran restaurants. In our kitchen 'authentic' is HERDEZ. Always will be and you should try it. You will see that other products pale in comparison. You will experience flavors of the culture as they were made long ago.
