New Year Brings New Flavors

Posted on by

Growing up in Texas  a thin  guacamole  hot sauce was  a staple in  many  tex-mex  restaurants,  and  lately  we’ve  been  spending  a good  amount  of  time  and  effort  into  recreating  the awesome flavors  of  Texas  and  the  unique  southwestern  flavor  of this  avocado  based sauce.

As always we will release no sauce before we’ve perfected the flavor to ensure only the best products carry our brand name.  Be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook page and follow us on instagram and twitter and you may even get the opportunity  to get in on some of our early taste testing and provide feedback on this and other exciting new flavors in the coming year.

Holy Guacamole!  What could be better than that?

And of course as always, thank you to everyone who has supported our little brand over the last 5 years.  It’s hard to believe it has already been so long on this little adventure, but we look forward to continue to be able to grow with your help and support.

No Cold Tacos!

Posted on by

Look, we get it.  Nobody likes a cold taco, but there is such a thing as taking it too far.  In this news report out of Houston, TX (the boyhood home of the founders of Taco Jesus Hot Sauce) we find out that some Houstonians take their taco really seriously, maybe a bit too seriously.

Houston taught us our love of tacos, and all things hot and spicy, but one thing we can promise is that we won’t shoot you if we get a cold taco.  Provided of course some lame taco truck server doesn’t make us angry at 2:00 in the morning.

Tacos Everyday! Our Dream Job.

Don’t get me wrong, here at Taco Jesus Hot Sauces we love what we do.  There is nothing better than creating awesome sauces and sharing them with the world, or is there?  A reporter in San Antonio, TX is bringing the news of the San Antonio taco world to his readers this year with his “365 Days of Tacos” feature where he gets to sample and review tacos from some of San Antonio’s best restaurants.

As someone who grew up in TX where I learned my love of tacos, Tex-Mex and all things spicy, San Antonio is the heart of Tex-Mex culture and a taco lovers’ haven.  I try to visit San Antonio at least once per year when I return to my Texas roots and always make it my mission to search out a new tasty taco joint or two along the way.

There are some great Texas based restaurant chains that serve up good Tex-Mex staples, but the best place to find a good taco is always at some off-the-beaten-path mom and pop taco stand or Mexican grocery store.

Be sure to follow writer Mike Sutter as he goes on a quest to bring the heart of the Tex-Mex world the ultimate taco adventure on his 365 Day of Tacos journey.

Hellcat Habanero - the Flamin' HellcatsMade from the world’s hottest habanero peppers – red savina peppers – this special edition sauce pays homage to one of Houston, Texas’ longest tenured and hardest working bands the Flamin’ Hellcats.  Our first run of this sauce sold out quickly so keep your eyes out for the return in our hot sauce shop.

The Flamin’ Hellcats were founded in 1992 and gained national notoriety when their song Problems was included in the soundtrack of the 1999 MTV movie Varsity Blues.  As one of our all-time favorite Houston bands this sauce captures their essence with a perfect amount of red hot spice and 101% Vatobilly goodness.

Our XXX Hellcat Habanero hot sauce blends Red Savina and Naga Jolokia peppers with onion, lemon juice, passion fruit juice and garlic pulp to form a powerful sauce, both in flavor and heat! This is no ‘soupy’ hot sauce. Quite to the contrary, our Red Savina is a thick crushed pepper sauce that will stick with you… possibly longer than you had intended!
