Great taste with a little spice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do enjoy this hot sauce- it adds a nice flavor with just a little spice! It's nice to add a little flavor to tacos or taco bowls, as well as adding a little something extra to pizza or nachos. It's just enough of a kick to spice things up but not overwhelmingly spicy. Overall a nice mild hot sauce!

It's alright

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The taste is BBQ with a hint of smokey and a good amount of spicy, it is great on a pork sandwich that needs a kick. Or with rice with some delicious chicken or fajitas & tortilla. I could also put it on a tortilla chip.

Good sauce

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hot sauce is really good for when you make some trash nachos. Or taco bell, it pairs nice and the chipotle taste is so good. But its definitely my favorite on taco bell tacos and jack in the box tacos.

Flavorful good mild hot sauce option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this. It had a nice heat but was not overpowering to where I couldn't taste my food. It goes well on tacos, bowls, eggs and other dishes. My husband also liked it.

Pretty good hot sauce

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cholula Green Pepper Hot Sauce is pretty good, but it's not the best green pepper hot sauce I've had. It has a nice tangy jalapeño flavor, but there is almost no heat to it at all. The sauce is pretty runny, so it's easy to accidentally pour way too much onto your eggs or tacos. Overall, it's a decent sauce to have around, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it again.

Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Cholula Chipotle Hot Sauce as a free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program. I really enjoyed the smoky chipotle flavor and the perfect amount of heat. It adds a nice kick without overpowering the food, and the smoky flavor makes it a great. I loved using it on my eggs and chicken. I also liked that the sauce had plenty of flavor without being excessively spicy. Overall, I would definitely recommend Cholula® Chipotle Hot Sauce to anyone who enjoys a flavorful hot sauce with a smoky twist.

Ingredients

I used to love the stuff but you added the acetic acid and natural flavors. It was fine without it. without the right amount of vinegar it doesn't ferment like it used to. Between heavy metals found in your seasoning and changing recipes to gain more profit. You lost a regular customer.

McCormick acquired with ingredient changes

McCormick acquired with ingredient changes with low quality ingredients such as "natural flavors" and acetic acid changing the flavor as a watery sour condiment. Back to Tabasco.

Thank you for your inquiry. While there have not been any changes to the choice of vinegars or other aspects of the formula of Cholula® Original Hot Sauce, we have updated our Ingredient Statement to comply with the most recent regulations. ~JM

good but not great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this for an honest review so here it goes… yes it's flavorful and not overly spicy (which I love) but I feel like it's missing something, not quite sure what exactly but it has potential :)

Cholula hot sauce

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive tried all kinds of different flavors of cholula hot sauce before. The Chipotle has a subtle heat. Its not overpowering and it has a great flavor. I have has others that are too much hear that overpowers the flavor. This has a great balance of heat and flavor. Not only does it go great on tacos but great on breakfast foods as well hash browns and eggs .

My New Everyday Sauce

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked up Cholula's Chipotle sauce and it's basically been on everything since. Started with eggs at breakfast, then it made its way onto tacos, grain bowls, even weeknight dinners... it's that versatile. What I love is the smoky flavor without overwhelming heat. It's got a nice kick but isn't so spicy that it takes over the dish, which means I can add it to pretty much anything without worrying about it being too much. Honestly, this is replacing a bunch of other sauces in my rotation: barbecue sauce, chipotle adobo, even soy sauce. One bottle doing the work of several. Highly recommend if you want an easy way to add smoky depth to whatever you're cooking.

Nice 2nd

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not sure if anything could ever beat the original Cholula hot sauce but this definitely is a close 2nd. We enjoyed it with our steak tacos but also used it on burgers one night as well. The smokey chipotle flavor works really well with beef dishes.

Love Cholula!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always loved Cholula hot sauce, and I was super excited to get a sample of this new flavor to try! Just like the original, this jalapeño and poblano sauce is bursting with flavor, but not scalding with heat.

Just the right amount of heat with great flavor
