I've never been a big fan of hot sauces but do keep a bottle of Sriracha on hand. Better for me and my tastes is the Costa Rican table top staple, bottled Lizano salsa. Anyone else favor this stuff?

I love the hell out of Lizano and considered a happy day when I could find it on the internet and at Publix in Miami when I went there.

Forget Franks Red Hot, when it comes to Lizano, I put that shit on everything.

A little more on what Lizano is (NOT a hot sauce):

I discovered Salsa Lizano when I took a golf trip to Costa Rica a few years ago. That's right, a golf trip. I ordered some for me and my son, who had been to CR surfing. It's also good on Cuban style black beans and rice.

I have limited use for a sweetened hot sauce, such as I do with Siracha. Sweet doesn't go with savory for me.

How propitious that this thread should surface today. I'm going to Costa Rica this weekend for a week of travel and photography. I love hot sauces, and even if this isn't one, I'm going to find out about it. Thanks!

Yeah, I too thought this sounded interesting until I saw that sugar was the first-listed ingredient after water. I just don’t have a sweet tooth.

Ingredients :
Water, Sugar, Salt, Vegetables, (Onions, Carrots, Cauliflower, Cucumbers), Spices, Acetic Acid, Pepper, modified corn starch Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Tumeric.

I too was wildly interested in finding some of this sauce, but if it's sweet, how sweet is it?

Sweet as ketchup?

Less or more so...?

C'mon, I don't want to go on a pilgrimage to find this sauce so sweet I won't enjoy it.

So, how sweet is it?

Ketchup sweet is about as sweet as I can stand and then only on the occasional freedom fry.

It has pepper but really isn't hot at all. Likewise with the sugar. Not really sweet at all especially compared to ketchup.

After reading this thread I decided to order a bottle from Amazon to give it a try.

Damn, that stuff is good. Really good! I've tried it on eggs, tator tots, Ramon noodles, etc. It's a very distinct and different taste that makes it hard to compare to anything else. I'll be using it often for sure.

I also ordered some from Amazon after reading this thread.
I used it on a quesadilla my wife made - it went with it well.

I too acquired some of this sauce from the Amazon, used it as a marinade for some steak tacos. Not bad, not bad at all.

Glad to read of some folks who decided to try it and found it to have merit! Smile
