Salsa out of a jar is usually a poor substitute for fresh, but -
Trader Joe's Garlic Chipotle Salsa is pretty damn good. Best out-of-a-jar salsa I've found yet. Anything else good out there?

(5,997 posts)I've been known to order it shipped-in by the case when having trouble finding it locally.
Jardine's is by far the best jar-salsa I've had.
A cheaper and hotter product is Mrs. Renfro's Ghost Pepper Salsa.

(50,130 posts)It's more authentic and less expensive than the NYC brands.

(10,132 posts)but, since I haven't seen it in a few years, even at Mexican markets, I don't think it's being imported anymore.
Otherwise, Herdez is the house salsa here.

(55,006 posts)but I will by herdez in the jar if I have a coupon or they are out of El Pato - it is more expensive, though.
the kids grew up on it, we will go through 2 or 3 cans per meal sometimes, I swear the youngest son eats it like soup.

If I can't do fresh and I can't find Hatch, it's Sriracha for me.

At Tucson's Guadalajara Restaurant (where Kali and I ate recently), little middle-aged Mexican women
in traditional peasant dresses push carts from table-to-table and make your salsa to order from scratch
with a mortar-and-pestle (unfortunately not at lunch when we went).

(2,673 posts)Old Texas favorite. I like almost any salsa, except some of the bottled sauces have sugar in them - Yuck! Must be made in "New York City".
