We have this fan favorite on every table at the restaurant, and now you can finally bring that signature kick home! This hand-crafted paste isn't about overwhelming heat; it’s about a deep, savory flavor that elevates everything from bbq, eggs to tacos. It is the ultimate "everything sauce" for those who want maximum flavor with a perfectly balanced, mild spice.
