This needs to be a blind taste test. Anytime you can see the label, you will have a preconceived notion of what it's gonna taste like. Especially if you've tried it before.
Yep. I did one of these at my place. Guess which actually rated decently on flavor, but not so much on spice. Taco Bell Fire. People just see the label and already have a decision made in their mind.
@@LadyFrost1971 no, that’s when you speak multiple languages. I’m talking about when she’s speaking English with a Mexican accent one second and an American one the next
For example, I speak English and French, but my accent stays the same. My assumption is that she lived in Mex. for some of her childhood and the US for other parts.
@@turnerIott I think it's probably because Xochitl was born and raised in Mexico, while Lucy was born and raised in the US. Kinda just speculation, but I'm a Chicano as well and I have the appropriate accent in both English and Spanish.
Sauce A: "This is great" | "This is awful" Sauce B: "This is awful" | "This is great" ... Tapatio: "This is absolutely amazing" | "This is absolutely amazing" Oh now I have to track down that one
When my husband and I were in Acapulco, they had a huge conference for Toyota executives and their families. The women all had Tapitio in their purses because the resort food wasn’t spicy at all.
@@cyndiluhoo6908 Hillary tried to pretend she's just like black people because she carried hot sauce in her purse. It did not go well in the church she stated that. I think she tried to do a black accent as well in her speech.
I keep this amazing jalapeño cumin hot sauce in my purse cause it's fabulous and I'm living in the US Midwest. Nothing is spicy here. I put normal ass chili powder in a jambalaya for my extended family and my Minnesota brother in law said, 'whew, this has some kick.' 😅
@@cousinparty7266 im glad one lady ranked El Yucateco as a ten cuz that was my super hot introductory sauce, now i just end up dumping out a quarter of the bottle on my burritos just to feel some heat. my stomach can't process super hot stuff well tho, i get severe stomach pain anything past 30-50k SCU
Technically not to deter predators, but to deter *mammals* from eating it. The plant wants their fruit to be eaten, peppers spread to new habitats by the fruits being eaten by animals and "carrying" them to somewhere else; but chili specifically wants to be eaten by birds (thats also why they're brightly coloured), because birds are better at spreading seeds over large areas.
Haha, that El Yucateco is no joke, one of my favorite table sauces to keep around when I wanna kick things up a notch or four. I'm generally not too impressed by habanero forward salsas but that one is killer.
@@hugo9846 you gotta try Mexico Lindo they're on the same heat level as El yucateco. I use both on different things because they have different flavors but the same heat.
The funny thing is, the first hot sauce in the list, Cholula, is the only one of those tested that is made in Mexico! Lucy says its not spicy enough and gives it a 2, while Sochi likes it and gives it a 10! Amazing range of viewpoints. BTW, Cholula is one of my favorite three hot sauces, the others being Tapatio and Sriracha (the Rooster brand).
@@clownmonomaniac2630 Maybe you don't know but mexicans see mexicans who live in the USA too delicate, maybe that's what he meant idk, and usually the Mexican culture dies with the parents, the rest are just a bunch of whitexicans trying to be offended
I'm from Yucatán, it's very common the habanero sauce, you can find it everywhere, the artesanal one is only sour orange, grilled habanero pepper & salt, some add garlic or onion :)
it kinda doesn't though, it's "this is a 10, this is a 0", if you average all their score it comes out to be around 5. there's lots of opinions about hot sauce, the fact that the "too much vinegar " didn't get a 3 or 2 proves why you need more then two people. A hot sauce should have a punch, flavor, and kick (not the same as a punch). If this was a blind test I'm sure the women would have agreed more on the taste of what salsa is, with one maybe preferring more spice or acid then the other, but going from a 0 to 7 or 2 to 10... the test is obviously not right. As a Norwegian I love spicy food, half the sauce they tasted are not even spicy, half of them are just too acidic or sugary, there's only two or three that I would actually rate anything above a 6, with non of them ranking above 9 since obviously 10 is being home made.
We all know that they missed out on presenting the best one of all: Valentina. 💯 Agree with both of them on Tapatío, of the group presented its the best one but it still falls behind the Valentina ideal. El Yucateco is very good for those of us that like the fire and using it on chicharrónes is the bomb! I prefer the orange one, although that green one is pretty good also. I find the green variant is best used with seafood.
@@cousinparty7266not even lying about the following. I'm Mexican and I actually loved sriracha because it surprisingly reminded me of a homemade salsa, precisely because of the garlic. But I will say you're right, to each their own! Cheers!
THANK YOU for these videos! When I'm having a bad day, I come back and watch them again. I watch them and have to catch my breath from laughing so hard! 🤣
@@arafelify I got two today (cholula and a random one that I forgot the name of). Didn’t like either. There’s a hot sauce I got from a small botique shop specializing in hot sauce called hotter than el, now that sauce is ridiculously good. I LOVE the flavor, however it’s only as spicy as sriracha sauce, I wish it had more of a kick.
@@slickwill7469 most Mexicans don’t know what Tapatío is. Tapatío is originally from L.A. The company was started by a guy making the sauce in his kitchen and going around and selling it to Mexican restaurants and little neighborhood stores (what they call bodegas in N.Y.). From there it spread to the rest of California and I’ve seen it at H.E.B. in Texas. But I’ve never encountered it in Mexico itself. Believe me, I’ve looked everywhere. To most Mexicans in Mexico, a tapatío is someone from Jalisco (which why the logo is the guy in the ranchero outfit).
CAUSE THIS LADIES OF THE VIDEO, MANY OF THEM ARE FROM SOUTH CENTRAL MEXICO, THEY ARE NOT FROM NORTH MEXICO WICH IS A VERY DIFFERENT CULTURE, LIKE SONORA OR BAJA CALIFORNIA EXCEPT TIJUANA TIJUANA IS CENTRAL MEXICO, OR CHIHUAHUA, THIS LADIES FAMILIES ARE FROM OAXACA, MEXICO CITY, PUEBLA, MICHOACAN, NAYARIT, VERY SURIACO SHOLAS
El Yucateco is by far my absolute favorite hot sauce ever. It's a shame we can't get it back in India. El Yucateco has a very distinct aroma and taste. A true winner
@@starcox80. You should try the green habanero yucateco sauce, it doesn't look very inviting but my best friend had some when I was at his house and I was surprised how good it tasted its not as hot as the xxxhot yucateco sauce but it has a little more flavor is hot but not extremely hot as the yucateco xxxhot, when I use the xxxhot yucateco on my Mexican food over rice and beans I only put 3 or 4 small drops about an inch apart from each other and I still feel the heat lol. Is very good but the green habanero yucateco definitely the best.
I'm just happy that Cholula Original and Tapatio are available in my part of South East Asia. I put them on almost every fried dish! Cholula with Lime is particularly good with empanadas.
@@G8tr1522 The Philippines, unfortunately Latin food is uncommon and there are only 1 or 2 places that I can recommend, and still not as good as the ones I had in California.
I agree Felix Jose, El Yucateco is awesome sauce with both flavor and heat. If you're a person that enjoys Sriracha then you should stop discussing hot sauces...that stuff tastes like leg sweat.
I watched these ladies fry Rachel Ray for her Mexican dishes and they made me laughed so hard that @MaMah has gained a loyal subscriber for life. Thanks ladies for the laughter and introduction to Tapatio
The Kutbil-Ik one from El Yucateco, that brown one they tasted, that's my go-to salsa. They have a black one that I like as well (the green and red are boring). But the brown Kutbil-Ik, man that stuff is AWESOME. Spicy, but once you get used to it, it's the smoky flavor that keeps bringing yo back.
The El Yucateco Mayan recipe is my personal favorite!!! It is VERY hot so you have to be careful, but it is more than just HOT, the flavor is IMMENSE!!! If you have never tried it, I highly suggest it. So good!!!
I know they’re not celebrities, but I would love to see them on Hot Ones to be interviewed - and also to get their opinions on the hot sauces!!! (Wonder what they would think of Da Bomb)
Lol I can comfortably have a teaspoon of that El Yucatan but when I dipped the tip of my finger in Da Bomb beyond insanity, I was skulling water for 5 mins straight.
I have a bottle of Da Bomb, and we only use a couple of drops when making pasta sauce lol. I put the tiniest fleck on my tongue, and knew right away it would be trouble, so I took a napkin and wiped it off LOL
I love the fact that they have different opinions on the same salsa some don't think it's that good while some are. It gives you an insight of their taste buds.
I have tried the habanero sauce, "El Yucateco. Its pretty spicy but its really good. It tastes good on any food, except chips and stuff like that. I personally like it with chicken. :3
You can tell that Lucy is very Americanized. Her accent in English is identical to American and she fucking ranks Taco Bell Hot Sauce above fucking Cholula.
I'm Chinese. I add Tapatio on so many of my foods: Omelets, sandwiches, beef stews. It's the bomb. I have my "go to" sauces for extra taste and Tapatio is easily one of my favorites. You guy should try Lao Gan Ma. Not spicy but adds a nice smoky flavor. Best Health.
El Yucatan is an absolute beast! I tried the “black label” when i was young and it is insane. Remember darker is hotter! Stay away unless you like having ulcers and hemorrhoids at the same time. It’s that brutal.
I live in Yucatán. That green habanero Yucateco sauce becomes addictive once you learn how to eat it. They put way too much on. You literally have to put drops of it into your food, not huge shakes. Once you find the right balance, you’ll get a fantastic fruity vinegary flavour without much heat. I am not one of those people with a high spice tolerance and I won’t eat something spicy just to make myself look cool. But I eat this sauce almost daily without any problem. I will even mix it with other chiles. Like I will often order enchiladas with a xcatic chile sauce and still add the habanero sauce. 😋
I was surprised to see how differently they reacted to it. "Lemon with salt" is a much better description of gasoline than it is of Cholula. To me, Cholula has a complex, "warm" flavor that I like a lot better than the many "vinegar with capsaicin" sauces out there. I'm glad the other lady liked it.
That El Yucateco at 4:19 is NO JOKE! I tried that at a Mexican restaurant and almost ended up in the hospital 🤣🤣 But I do keep a bottle at home. Great stuff
I have that last one in my fridge (the habanero one) and I was exited to see their reactions because it's almost too hot for me! Now I'm used to it and I have to use a lot lol
Tapatío is ok but you missed the most iconic one in Mexico at least for snacks Valentina is where it is at! First time I tried El yucateco when I was younger I had the same reaction lol while my aunts said it wasn't spicy at all, it's hot but you get used to it and the habanero flavor is just too good!!
Where’s the Valentina? Was really hoping they’d review that one. Perfect amount of heat but even bigger on the flavor. Tapatio is my other go to, glad they ranked that high.
I appreciate that this has two people with very different tastes in hot sauce. I also appreciate that you had El Yucateco on here which is my favorite hot sauce! Although I think it's too spicy to eat on chips on it's own. I usually mix it into a milder really chunky salsa for best effect.
I've had that habanero one a few times, it's no joke. My favorite, everyday-every-taco sauce is Valentina Extra Hot though...it has a nice little heat and is almost laughably cheap lol.
You know the funny thing is the valentina isn't really hot for most of Mexicans. Its just for good taste. My 6 yld boy, eat that all the time, he loves with his fruit and chips. I love Yucateco by the way :)
I love to eat at Mexican restaurants my favorite🤤 but didn't know what kind of hot sauce to use at home, old El paso wasn't cutting it. So I went to the Mexican grocery and was overwhelmed with the selection so I started reading ingredients. Tapatio had the cleanest simplest ingredient list that seemed to be what I was looking for. I love it and now I know why, it's Mexican mom approved.
El Yucateco is the king of all those featured sauces. My favourite variety is the classic Red Habanero sauce by El Yucateco, but I also swap between the red and green when eating my tacos, fajitas, etc. Just the right heat level in my opinion. I always have several bottles in the house and have more on the way as I type this. An essential condiment on all my mexican food at home! Tapatio is good for breakfast.
El Yucateco is so good. I've only tried the green and red sauces, cause that's all I can find locally. I should order some online and see what all the other flavors are all about.
Just shows that culture really does affect our palate. I have a bottle of tapatio in my fridge that I can't finish, because it tastes like spicy dirt to me. I MUCH prefer the vinegar based sauces like that Red Rooster.... I was really interested in their opinion on sriracha, since it's completely different than both styles.
@Major Problems Congrats, you've defeated my clumsy thumbs and crappy autocorrect. Usually, the time to do that is when someone is being an ass, but you're way too cool for that.
Tapatio was always my favorite.. then I started liking Cholula almost just as much! But then I discovered De La Viuda and am HOOKED!! The original red sauce is my favorite but can be hard to find!!
