    What's your favorite store bought salsa when you are too lazy to make it yourself?

    Recently I tried the tejano salsa products and was very impressed.

    Rick Bayless's Frontera Grill brand. By far. They aren't as good as making his recipes at home, fresh. But damn good for store bought

    My favorite is his salsa verde

    Not a fan of either Bayless. I like the HEB fresh salsa that comes in the bag in the vegetable section.

    Arribas ...fire roasted chipotle!

    I think Casa Ole may be selling their red sauce in the store...that stuff is addicting.

    And yeah nothing quite compares to freshly made salsa from home.

    Go to a book store with a phone camera af take pictures I'd the recipes in Rick Bayless's Salsa book

    But note: a salsa is only as good as the tomatoes you buy

    Mateo's is probably the best that is not hard to find. Sabor from Austin is probably the best I can think of and the only place I have see in is in the refrigerated section at Central Market.

    I hate super chunky salsa. For some reason every sauce & salsa has to b e extra chunky lately. they tout it.

    Herdez' is too slimy.

    The cherry bakery on college has some incredible green salsa, but unfortunately I can no longer even recommend their tacos. Shame, those used to be great.

    HEB's is some of the freshest tasting you can get prepackaged, the $3 tall fancy/fresh "specialty" bottle, & garlic/tomato, not the short "chunky" $2 one that sits in your fridge forever. The quality of it just varies more than I expected. Flavor, freshness, & even fineness of puree. But what are you going to do? I'm not making my own.
