Valentina Mariscos


Valentina has been my favorite Mexican hot sauce for two decades now, after being introduced to it by a half-Mexican, half-Salvadoran coworker who saw me dousing pizza with Cholula one afternoon.

I just discovered earlier this month that they have a "Mariscos" version designed to complement seafood. That evening, I drizzled it on some beer-battered crab poppers. 

It was spicier than I expected - though that could be because I no longer enjoy spicy food as much as I used to - but I was able to detect a slight citrus-tinge to it.

It was good. Just a little too spicy. 

I don't think I will buy another bottle after this one runs out. 

That being said, I imagine this bottle will last me several years.
