Being raised in New Mexico, I cannot stand jalapenos. They infect everything vaguely "mexican" themed, and have basically forced me to buy the mildest sauces and whatnot, only to have to add hatch peppers to bring them up to a suitable level of spice. And even then, with the more mild jalapenos we have now, you'll find them in reformulations of mild sauces, and so on a single taste I get that "hot screen door/cat vomit" flavor shining through. So I frequently have to change brands.

As something of a counterpoint to another comment thread here, I find that their "medium" salsa is fairly hot and also richly flavored, while their "hot" salsa is hot but not flavored.
- paradox460 3y agoThey're good, but they still put Jalapeños into many, if not most, of their salsas. I'll check the labels, and buy if its not in there, but that's become rarer and rarer. For a while there was a "Hatch" branded salsa, which, naturally, only had Hatch peppers in it, but my local store seems to have rotated them out of stock.
