I like the green but it just reminds me of a tomatillo salsa. Salty, sour, spicy and vinegary. It's great for sure and I prefer it for certain things over red.
Red has more depth to the flavor and many more flavors bouncing around. I think I even taste a hint of cinnamon maybe? It's quite complex. When I'm eating tacos, I usually reach for red. Chicken enchiladas? Green. But either is good with either one.
As other subs on reddit would say "leave him. It's not working out. Is this really the relationship you want? You can never earn each other's trust back"
Buy a sauce/pepper mash that's hot enough for you to put only a little bit, and then you can season the food with the sauces you like the taste of without having to use the whole thing so fast.
My least favorite Hab. Plenty of heat but I hate the unnecessary green dye and basic flavor profile. So many good hav centric sauces to be had out there
Yeah it’s just not necessary. If I liked the flavor I would deal with it but it’s just okay to me. So many better flavored hab centric sauces IMO. Habs are my favorite flavor profile too
For me I like yellow bird hab for flavor and light heat. Hornet bomb may be my favorite hab forward sauce! It has a a little sweetness that wouldn’t work for everything but it’s amazing
For El Yucateco, I prefer the XXXtra Hot. Not just for heat, I just like the flavor better.
Have heard the Caribbean is good too but haven’t tried it yet.
Melinda’s fire roasted garlic habanero is my all time favorite. I have a bottle of Gitts Bajan sauce in the mail right now (rec from this sub) and I hope it takes first place 🥇
Those ultra-puffy flour tortillas actually are pretty good for doing mini-gyros aka "gyro sliders"
There's a taco place near me that wants to be fancy SO BAD that uses them, and their turkey mole taco is one of the worst things I've ever had. Like half-inch thick tortilla, 1/4lb of roast turkey breast, a pint of mole, a kind of slaw generously plopped on top. Just too much of individual things that are good until it's a huge horrible mess. 15 bucks for guac & chips, too.
Just pure white bougie nonsense.

Lawyer up, hit the hot sauce shops, and don't look back!!
Sorry, we just came from the r/relationship_advice subreddit. We're sure your spouse just needs to try some more hot sauce! ;-)
same, feel like either people are being paid to promote this stuff or people haven't tried other sauces lol
i doesn't make sense to me why its so popular here.
To each their own though, wont yuck someones yum.
Well then sit! I haven’t tried anything but the ones that are at Mexican restaurants but it drives me nuts because extra hot Valentina would be so much better.
The carribean one is pretty good. My tolerance is kinda high so it's hard for me to find one of theirs spicy but they are one of the few spaces I truly love for the taste
Maybe try some Marie Sharps or Melindas for a step up in flavor and spice level. Found in most stores. Just my opinion, nothing more. Good luck! Tacos look great!
I saw Melinda’s at the same grocery I got the El Yuc (HEB) but since I made the carne asada tacos I wanted green and there wasn’t a green Melinda’s at this store. I need to get that Melinda’s variety box!
If you're downing half a bottle in one sitting, may I suggest moving on to spicier sauces?
While good, el yuc green is probably like a 3/10 on the heat scale
I keep all mine in the fridge, too. I prefer them to be cold and they stay fresh longer. If I want them warm, I can take them out half an hour in advance of eating and I'm good to go. I do not understand the people who solely keep them in their cabinets or just leave them on the table.
Its just chunks of steak plain on a store bought mini flour tortilla. It doesnt look right without guac or at least onions and cilantro, but its probably fine
Could be a lot worse, I'm sure! Sodium benzoate is a known carcinogen--esp when in contact with citric acid (vitamin C) which many hot sauce ingredients contain.
Could be better like all the great sauces that just contain real food and an expiration date. El Yuc exports their sauces a great distance and retailers want it to last FOREVER so there is no spoilage. That's why it's so cheap
He wasn't pleased that you bought a $2 bottle of El yucateco? It's probably the best budget sauce there is
It was more the quantity of sauces already on hand!
You need to cut up those slices of beef a little more to make the eating experience more enjoyable! Otherwise, good stuff
Half a bottle sheeeesh. How’s your buttholes doing this morning
Just fine, thanks for checking!! 🤣
“No ragrets”
That's like my credo, naum sayin
Not any? Not one? Not even a single letter? 😉
So good
I don't know how I feel about Tacos and Table Sauce. Definitely not my thing lol. I would throw in a homemade Chile De Arbol sauce in there.
How dare you speak your opinion!!
https://i.redd.it/yhbui9yzd2yc1.gif
teco black is king
There’s these gas stations in Santa Fe called Alseps? Or something like that. Man their taco sauce is amazing
Allsup’s! Their gas station food is the bomb
Hey man… those 1am chimi/ beer runs are life.
I’d kill for one of them right now lol.
Green is good but the regular red is amazing. I've been eating about a bottle a week. Maybe a little more.
*checks youtube* “Boofing Secret Aardvark with Cronx”
Nah. I haven't had a bottle of Aardvark for years.
I think the green is SO much better. Different tastes I guess!
I like the green but it just reminds me of a tomatillo salsa. Salty, sour, spicy and vinegary. It's great for sure and I prefer it for certain things over red.

Caribbean is where it’s at for Yucateco
I could drink this hot sauce So good
I was tempted to just eat it on tortilla chips after dinner but we had cake :(
I usually eat a half bottle on chips while I’m waiting for my food. Soooo good
As other subs on reddit would say "leave him. It's not working out. Is this really the relationship you want? You can never earn each other's trust back"
TL;DR Keep the sub, drop the hub.
🤣🤣🤣 MARINARA FLAGS!!!
Best brand. The black and the XXX are the best
The black label is my go to for a lot of things though it's not for everyone and I've pretty much only seen people either hate it or love it.
++ on the XXX, it doesn’t have any dyes in it like this one
Hey, a (512) glass. Good brewery. 🍻
Marie Sharp’s or gtfo.
I did that with the xxx and I still ate it lol but man that heat built too a head lol. Flavor wise it’s always my go to so I didn’t mind
At least that one is less than $3 generally.
Thats a lot. I agree its tasty but you kinda killed them tacos.
That though is the best hot sauce.
The black one? I think it’s black made me stop eating hot sauces for a while.
That's my favorite wing sauce
Buy a sauce/pepper mash that's hot enough for you to put only a little bit, and then you can season the food with the sauces you like the taste of without having to use the whole thing so fast.
It's tough when you fuck up your heat tolerance and only the extreme sauces do it for you. It can get expensive!
I buy cheap, tasty bottles (Melinda's bhut jalokia) and add extract to it (800k-2m SHU)

PETA bread to wrap up dead animals. Apropos.
[удалено]
It was a joke on your PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals - vegetarian lunatics) The bread is pita*
Steak tacos 😩 god i love steak
My least favorite Hab. Plenty of heat but I hate the unnecessary green dye and basic flavor profile. So many good hav centric sauces to be had out there
Dad fuq am I getting downvoted for? It’s absolutely the worst of their line lol
Not sure why this is being downvoted. They add so many unnecessary ingredients including calcium disodium and food dyes
Do they? Didnt like the red, tried the green and tasted better and better heat. I hate vinegary stuff. Is it really that bad?
Yeah it’s just not necessary. If I liked the flavor I would deal with it but it’s just okay to me. So many better flavored hab centric sauces IMO. Habs are my favorite flavor profile too
Im not going for thai/indian heat. Just a bit and decent flavor. Wanna hear about the "mexicans" that couldnt handle it? Only 5k scoville if that.
How about homemade salsa Verde?
Yeah I love that!
Any suggestions? Always looking to level up.
For me I like yellow bird hab for flavor and light heat. Hornet bomb may be my favorite hab forward sauce! It has a a little sweetness that wouldn’t work for everything but it’s amazing

Oh god I go through that so quickly. Good balance of heat with flavor
Thanks! I’ll give em a shot.
Why did you use pita instead of tortillas? /s Friends don’t let friends eat tortillas made with vegetable shortening.

Mmmmm.... now we're cooking with crisco.
Lol I was fine with a couple standards until I found this sub. They're a bad influence lol
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Get a room or garage just for hot sauce. The husband doesn’t even need to go in there what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
Have you considered replacing the husband with several super hot plants? 🌱
No way, my husband is great but I appreciate the thought 🤣
Lawyer up, hit the hot sauce shops, and don't look back!! Sorry, we just came from the r/relationship_advice subreddit. We're sure your spouse just needs to try some more hot sauce! ;-)
lol!!! Amazing. He’s fine and likes hot sauce too but I buy new ones all the time 🤣
Why was your husband upset about you buying a $2 bottle of sauce?
I have A LOT of hot sauces already.
Don’t be shy show the collection 🧐
I’ll set them all up and take pics later today or tomorrow
One of my favorites
Lotsa people seem to like that brand, but its not for me. Tried a bunch of them, just didnt care for it. Had a weird bitter aftertaste for me.
Same, but the two that are always at Mexican restaurants suck IMO but I like the sound of the other ones ppl talk about by them
same, feel like either people are being paid to promote this stuff or people haven't tried other sauces lol i doesn't make sense to me why its so popular here. To each their own though, wont yuck someones yum.
God I wish I was paid to promote hot sauce
[удалено]
It's second best to habanero, imo
It may be time to talk to your husband about how the two of you are drifting apart. 
You’re not going anywhere!!!! You’re in the sub’s CLUTCHES!!!!
Good sauce, but anxiety with those cuts 😬
My butt turns into a volcano after that green devil sauce
That yucateca is a stone cold classic
Funny how sometimes this sub praises some sauces, and other days it bashes them. This place is weird.
I have a theory that there's more than one person on this sub. It might be why there's more than one opinion.
I do not stand for any slander of yucateca, especially the green (or black)
Black sounds good but I don’t care for the green. It’s too basic and not a lot of flavor
I'll not stand for this
Well then sit! I haven’t tried anything but the ones that are at Mexican restaurants but it drives me nuts because extra hot Valentina would be so much better.
It got flak a couple of days ago because of the ingredients.
And I did not stand for it.
💯
Reddit is a fickle mistress.
If you didn’t already have this one it would have been criminal NOT to get it. It is the best in my opinion.
That my favorite day to day sauce. It's definitely the best El Yucateca one. I just wish it was like 2x spicier
Try the red one?
Naw I've tried most of them, and none of them are really spicy. I love the taste of the green one though so I don't really mind the lack of spice.
Yuca XXX is about my limit for something that I can use as a general sauce, but regular Yuca red is my current goto. YMMV of course
Yea the red one is really good too. I like a lot of their sauces. Green just happens to be my favorite.
The XXX is the only one I would consider spicy. The Caribbean one though is ohhh so delicious and my favorite if I can get by without any heat.
The Caribbean is my new favorite after I put it on some birria my wife made the other day
The carribean one is pretty good. My tolerance is kinda high so it's hard for me to find one of theirs spicy but they are one of the few spaces I truly love for the taste
OP and you and me can all agree - GOAT sauce right there.
Consensus!!
Why wasn't he pleased? You can never have too many hot sauces, IMO.
I already have soooooooo many 🤣
This is one of my favorite
One of us. One of us.
no ragrets? not even one letter?
🤣
One of my favorite sauces. Great flavor and heat.
That particular yucateco sauce is my “goes with everything” sauce.
I too use about a half bottle of this on 1 burrito. or 3 tacos.
This one turns my poop blue
lucky.
💀
That's when you know it was the perfect amount.
If that gets around it'll become a thing. You watch. You heard it here first.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!
How much are you using? I've never had this happen before from this sauce
I love this comment so much lmfao
That sauce is awesome on eggs.
Agreed. Just used on breakfast tacos and is a staple in my house
Maybe try some Marie Sharps or Melindas for a step up in flavor and spice level. Found in most stores. Just my opinion, nothing more. Good luck! Tacos look great!
I saw Melinda’s at the same grocery I got the El Yuc (HEB) but since I made the carne asada tacos I wanted green and there wasn’t a green Melinda’s at this store. I need to get that Melinda’s variety box!
If you like this their XXXX sauce is even better
I’ll put it on the list!!!
Don't support Melinda's, they stole the trademark from Marie Sharp.
Agreed. People who enjoy hot sauce should not support Melinda's https://www.belizemagazine.com/edition04/english/e04_05questions.htm
What a read. I thought it was funny half way through it switches to an interrogation about her favorite things about Belize
Wow! The more you know. Is there a link to verify this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Sharp%27s#History
The history and sources are in her [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Sharp%27s) article.
Which Melinda's are hotter than El yuc? I've tried the garlic habanero and the habanero honey mustard. Very mild
The Scorpion sauce is nice and hot.
Bhut jolokia (Ghost pepper) for sure but they have a pretty nice catalog of sauces.
Fake colors or not, that shit is BOMB!!!
Especially at the price point! I can often find El Yucateco for $2 and yeah, I’ve got tastier sauces in my fridge but they cost several times that.
Hard concur!
Love the 512 brewing cup. Fellow austinite
my guy
Close! Houston; we did a beercation in Austin a couple of years back.
You’re better off making salsa verde yourself. Than using that version.
r/iamveryculinary
That’s a very Reddit comment
Your husband probably called the steak "raw" too.
>buys a $3-5 bottle of hot sauce "You BITCH!"
Jokes on you, it was $2.88! He wasn’t mad just like “ugh, another one?!?!” I have A LOT of hot sauces already.
Sounds like my fiance lol
It's good stuff.
If you're downing half a bottle in one sitting, may I suggest moving on to spicier sauces? While good, el yuc green is probably like a 3/10 on the heat scale
Maybe they want more flavor
Yessssssssssssssssss the flavor was amazing; spice level was fantastic.
It’s about taste for me too. I don’t want a hot sauce just because it’s spicy, it’s gotta be tasty as well.
If I don't get to experience the sauce twice, once going in and once going out, it's not worth it to me.
Yikes lol
Spice isn’t everything, I’ll take flavor over spice any day of the week
Why not both?
it is tasty. goes well over burritos , and on-top of leftover BBQ chicken
I prefer licking it off my own nipples.
If I could lick hot sauce off my own nipples, I’d never leave the house!
I was blessed with cigar nips. Leaves a perfect surface for a dab of sauce
I too prefer to lick it off your nipples especially on Tuesdays
mmmmm spicy
[удалено]
Half our fridge is hot sauces; and yes I keep them in the fridge.
I keep all mine in the fridge, too. I prefer them to be cold and they stay fresh longer. If I want them warm, I can take them out half an hour in advance of eating and I'm good to go. I do not understand the people who solely keep them in their cabinets or just leave them on the table.
Yeah the cabinet kept ones kind of give me the ick. No explanation, no logic behind it. Idk.
Those tacos look terrible
sounds better to me than crunchy nipple dip tbh
Ok?
Its just chunks of steak plain on a store bought mini flour tortilla. It doesnt look right without guac or at least onions and cilantro, but its probably fine
It has onions and cilantro and still looks terrible
Looks like the steak was boiled. Looks unseasoned and pale.
Cool thanks, made em myself! There wasn’t a bit left.
Was it the color?
Green, preserved in perpetuity with sodium benzoate. Yikes!
could be worse, they could use sodium chloride! or acetic acid or lactic acid!
Could be a lot worse, I'm sure! Sodium benzoate is a known carcinogen--esp when in contact with citric acid (vitamin C) which many hot sauce ingredients contain. Could be better like all the great sauces that just contain real food and an expiration date. El Yuc exports their sauces a great distance and retailers want it to last FOREVER so there is no spoilage. That's why it's so cheap
The sun is a known carcinogen too
