best hot sauce ever

I love the hot sauce, has no vinegar, lots of flavor and the exact amount of spice to it. I cannot find it in my local grocery store anymore. I was so excited to find it on line. Please don't ever stop carrying this item. I would be extremely heartbroken.

Pico Pica is a gem!

Unlike most peppercorn sauces that are sold everywhere, this chili salsa sauce from California is much more flavorful and with the right amount of heat. Pico Pica's other flavors (Taco and Green) are equally delicious. Hard to find outside of California, so thank you MexGrocer for selling it online!

The Only Sauce

This is the only sauce I have used for 30 years now. I got hooked on this stuff while in the Navy. When I retired and moved back to the Kansas City area, I couldn't find it and had a friend back in Southern Cal box up a dozen bottles and ship it to me. That's how much I love this stuff. I have tried others, but for my taste buds, the flavors hit all the right notes and has just enough heat to satisfy me.

Although nothing will ever beat the taco shop hot sauce I grew up eating in California, Pico Pica comes close. It's not vinegar-y like other common bottled hot sauce. It's simple, spicy and salty. It is the perfect Mexican-American hot sauce to keep on hand in your fridge. So happy to have found it online to give me a little taste of home.

Discovered Pico Pica in 1985 and today it is still my favorite hot sauce. I use about 2-7oz bottles a month! Local retailers have stopped stocking Pico Pica so I purchased a case (12 bottles) today before they were gone! I wonder if I could get a Pico Pica Intravenous hook-up at a Insta-Care hospital when my 12 bottles run out.

The Best Hot Sauce

As the multitude of reviewers have attested, Pico Pica Hot Sauce is delicious. I was raised on it and I can't eat tacos without it. Or burritos, or eggs, or any meat at all, or... You get the idea. It's hot as it should be, but it is also a sauce. Not loaded with vinegar so the flavor of the chilies really comes through. I haven't found anything even close. For whatever reason our markets here in the islands quit carrying it this year. So we were sure happy to find MexGrocer. Just wish they would sell the gallon jug of Pico Pica that the manufacturer offers to commercial clients. Aloha

My go-to table sauce

This is the hot sauce for those of us who don't like vinegary sauces. The flavors of the chiles and spices are what you taste, rather than the spoiled taste of vinegar. It has just enough heat to impart a mild burn/tingle, but it's the flavor that keeps me coming back all these years. I send it to fellow hot sauce lovers all over the country because of its limited distribution.

ProsNo vinegar. Bright, bold chile pepper flavor.
