Dear readers, just like my last post where I labeled a restaurant review with the prefix “Restaurant Review -“, I’ll be labeling more of my reviews accordingly. And in today’s post, judging by the title, you guessed it! I’m reviewing a salsa!
Another Made in Texas brand – this one from the far-out suburb of Dallas – Frisco. So far out, that it has its own minor league baseball team! 🙂
As always, I purchased the spiciest version of the salsa – in this case “Hot”. Mateo’s prides itself on being “uniquely different”. Well, that it is, in some ways.
The salsa itself has good flavor and the ingredients taste fresh. Garlic is certainly a staple in this one, so much so it is the third ingredient in the mix. It’s not an overriding flavor but its presence is well noticed. The spice itself, on the other hand, not so much. I hardly found it to be spicy and while the flavor is zesty, it’s not memorable by any means.
Net, net – I’ll use up my jar, since I’m not one to waste food, but likely won’t re-purchase as I’m always seeking something spicier (I am Heataholic, after all!).
Good:
- Good flavor
- Fresh-tasting ingredients
Not-so-Good:
- Not at all spicy (even the “Hot” version)
- Too much garlic
Spice on, my friends!
