My girlfriend would probably kill me if I brought home store made salsa. She's from Mexico and makes some really good Pico de Gallo and salsas in the kitchen.
My wife can't cook worth a darn.
Don't her you I said so.
It is what happens when you don't make your kids move out until they get married.
I've lived alone for a decade before we got married.
Long story short. I cook better and I buy my Medium and Hot Pace by the gallon.
I will have to try the Walmart version.
If your wife would like to post a recipe I would appreciate it.

My wife tried to make Salsa at home but never as good as Mexican grocery store Salsas. Can you ask your wife for the recipe, much appreciated.

Good to know about the WM salsa. I've been buying Kroger (store brand). Not bad but thin and runny.
I bought WM brand salsa a few days ago and have to say that it taste just as good as the brand name salsa. On the other hand I avoid their canned fruit and pop tarts(don't know the generic name). Kroger's canned fruit and tarts taste way better.
There's nothing like home made salsa.

Agreed! I have been making my own for 35 years from home grown tomatoes, garlic, onions, peppers, and herbs.

Only jarred salsa I'll buy is Mrs. Renfro's. Others who have tried it have converted from their regular brand too. There's lots of different varieties too, but I'm hooked on their Habanero salsa. You have to use it in moderation, as it does tend to creep up on you after a few bites. The hot salsa has much less "bite" and similar flavor (read: delicious).
They've recently introduced a Ghost Pepper salsa, but I'm afraid to try it. I've had ghost pepper salsa from a local Mexican joint, and a tiny little dab on the end of a steak knife mixed in with the regular table salsa I had with my burrito was enough to ruin it. At that point, it's not even fun anymore.

Pace is the only OTC salsa that I seem to like. A few of the local Mexican restaurants around here have good salsas, though.
Pace is very bland compared to Renfro's. Give it a try sometime.
Like I said originally,y'all need to try WMs Great Value brand salsa. I prefer to make my own but WMGV is the only shelf brand I buy now.
Coincidentally, one of my co-workers brought some chips and GV salsa to work today. I realize everyone's taste is different, but I wasn't impressed.

Don't you just hate it when someone brings bad chips and it ruins the salsa?

Salsa's vary in texture, ingredients, preparation, flavors, and just about any other way I can think of. Basically, the word salsa just means 'sauce'. Many on here are describing a few main types. The canned or bottled stuff (sorry...but no self respecting lover of real Mexican food would ever use that swill); Pico de gallo (freshly chopped up tomato, onion, cilantro, etc. Almost a chunky thing more than it is a 'sauce'); Salsa Verde (green salsa made with tomatillos); and Salsa Roja (red salsa).
My Mexican girlfriend makes great salsa using just the basic, FRESH ingredients she gets at the Hispanic market. She also uses a grill (or sometimes the oven broiler) to prepare some of her ingredients. As for a recipe that somebody asked for earlier? Well, sorry. She, like many old style Mexican cooks, does not keep a recipe per say. She uses taste and the ingredients that were passed down from her mother/grandmother. I've actually never seen her write down or read a recipe for any of her dishes. Somebody once asked her for a salsa recipe and all she could tell them was a handful of this....a pinch of that....three or four of these....etc. Usually it gets lost on the person trying to figure it out.
She also makes her own tortilla chips to dip into the various salsas. Very tasty and is nothing like the store junk.
