The best salsa money can buy!!

Posted by Kim Cooper on 17th Dec 2025

I love this salsa for two reasons: the flavor and the heat. The Black Scorpion made by Arizona Salsa have one of the most delicious flavors of all the commercially made salsas I have ever tried. It's not at all sweet but despite the high level of heat it boasts a robust flavor that keeps the attention of my taste buds AND goes great with the tacos and grteen chili chicken stew I make at home. The other reason I love this particular salsa is the heat factor. For most people, this is a really hot salsa and I admit I usually use it in combination with another salsa or pico de gallo. But I crave and need the heat, otherwise it's not great Mexican food for me. Finally, and this is really the third reason I'm a loyal customer: I really love that it's made locally here in Arizona, right up the river in Mesa. I just wish more stores here in Tucson carried it so it was easier to keep in stock in my pantry. Mercifully, the nice people at Arizona Salsa and Spice Co. have my back, and keep sending me bottles of Black Scorpion in the mail.
