El Yucateco Habanero is a waaaayyyyyyyy better Mexican hot sauce than Valentina's. Much less vinegary and much more heat.

Just the right balance of flavors. It's got some kick, but not so much it overshadows the food. It's the best hot sauce for blending in to anything even remotely Latin. Only problem is it's not available outside Mexico.

Cholula is total garbage. It's thin with no flavour, the heat is disembodied like somebody stirred pure chili seed extract into water.

[Anonymous No.16248265]

>>16246598
This right here. It's barrel aged, and has a very deep complex flavor from years of fermentation. Everyone saying it's too much vinegar, well that's what it's supposed to be like, it's a chili vinegar essentially. But it has the perfect heat, adds the right amount of acidity and salt, and goes on pretty much anything. If I had to pick only one hot sauce this would be it.

"mexican hot sauce" specifically means hot sauce that tastes like valentina/cholula/tapatio, as in basically mexican ketchup-tier chili sauces. Even if El Yucatero is made in mexico and is a hot sauce it's not a "mexican hot sauce"

no one that likes them thinks any of the "mexican hot sauces" are capsaicin hot, they just taste good

yucateco is really good, no vinegar either, i can't thank pre-soiface hot sauce threads on here enough for recommending it
the different flavors are all pretty good, except for the chile chipotle flavor; it fucking blows, tastes like absolute dogshit and it's so thick you can't get it out of the fucking bottle
also, the "XXXTRA HOT" flavor isn't really hotter at all, i don't know why it's called that, it's good though

reddit detected. If you want "heat", eat the 6 million skolville shit they have on Hot Ones. Those have the highest heat, so that means they're the best, right? That's your logic.
Meanwhile, people who actually know how flavor works will use ingredients accordingly.

While there's no such thing as an all-purpose hot sauce, Tabasco, Frank's, Tapatio, Cholula, Valentina, etc are all fine. I personally prefer Tabasco but I love vinegar and I grew up with it. They're all good in their own way. If I were to try and be objective as one can be about hot sauce preferences, which isnt a real thing possible, I would say Cholula is the best of the major main brands.
