I won’t pile on more accolades for P.P. Sauce – we have quite a handful here already. I do, however, as an eternally-cursed heat-seeking chilehead, enjoy hearing about people venturing away from the vinegar-based Louisiana style sauces and giving it a go with a new brand or style they may be unfamiliar with. One of the reasons I love stopping into my Hispanic supermarket now and again is to grab a handful of sauces from Latin America and the Carribbean, always at good prices, and then you have something to look forward to the next time your sunnysides are staring up at you. Or whatever you enjoy it with. Look for El Yucateco (Mexican) there’s a green, a red, a XXX and a Chipotle. You won’t be disappointed. If you like Tapatio, give Valentina a try, also avail. in a 32 oz, which is what I like to keep on my kitchen table. It’s easy to find and gets used plenty. Good luck out there and keep it on fire!!

Pico Pica is getting hard to find in my home town (OKC). The flavor of this sauce grows on you over time. I’ve been using it for 30 years now. The first 10…didn’t really notice it so much. Now, I can’t get enough. Warning: it is possible to put too much on peach ice cream…but impossible on anything else!

Pico Pica is by far the best off-the-shelf sauce you can buy! I have been using it for years. Anyone know the recipe? I have used Tapitio, tabasco, Trappeys, etc. They are good for the most part,but for authentic “California Style” mexican I will take Pico Pica any day. If you haven’t tried it you are missing out. The sauce used to be made down the street in Harbor City, CA. Then Juanita foods bought them out. But they didn’t change anything from what I can tell. I found a huge bottle (15.5 oz.) of the sauce in our local supermarket (Stater Brothers). Gotta get some more.. Enjoy!

I just ate one of those new Johnsonville chili cheese hot dogs they sell and put it in a bun with sourkraut and Pico Pica! So good!! You get 6 sausages in a pack and this is my favorite hot sauce with them so far. Pico Pica is great hot sauce and retails here in southern WA state for under $1.40. When I bought my bottle like 5 months ago the shelf was fully stocked. Lame for such a delectable hot sauce as this. Mexican over LA any day!! This stuff should be flying off the shelves. If you like like Taco Bell type sauce review Gringo Bandito sometime (it’s made by Dexter Holland of the band The Offspring, really great sauce as well.)

Different foods taste better with different sauces and I always have a bunch of hot sauces on hand. But I must say that Pico Pico is by far my favoriite. Since moving to TN, I have to order it, usually from Mexgrocer.com. It’s more expensive than typical Mexicn sauces and I find myself using it much more liberally because it tastes so good. It does not have any vinegar which l think makes it taste so much better on most foods but also requires it to be refrigerated, if opened and stored for an extended period.

I can’t find Pico Pica in the Chicago area lately — it seems to have disappeared. So I’ve fallen back on my other staple, Tapatio. But they are different, and Pico Pica is good for those fast bean burritos and the occasional hot dog with cheese. I might have to order some from Amazon for $2.95/7 oz plus shipping.

Not sure why I googled Pica Pica, just bored I guess. I use this all the time. It is my favorite and now is the favorite of my (6) kids as well. I had it when I was a kid and then found it again after 20 years. My son came home from college and I gave him 6 bottles as a Christmas present. I would buy it on line if Albertsons stopped selling it.
