Taco Bell™ Diablo Sauce

Coming from a popular food chain takes a chance on one of its popular hot sauces. The taste still holds and makes a great condiment, or ingredient, to various dishes.

Suppose you love a packet of hot sauce so much, you wish the fast food restaurant released a bottle of it for sale. We're certain there were a handful of people that made that wish, and that wish came true: the Diablo Sauce from Taco Bell!

Whenever we get the chance to order a nice meal from Taco Bell, we always get the Diablo sauce. Nothing against the other sauces, but we like our sauces super hot and super spicy. Like Sriracha, it took a bit of time to get used to the level of heat, but then eventually, we got used to it.

The taste of this sauce gives hints of salsa, almost like it's freshly pureed. Only obvious difference is that there aren't any cilantro in it. Anyway, the aroma that the sauce gives off makes one think this includes chipotle which is understandable due the strong smell of the spices. Lots of strong pepper taste yet not too tangy (some folks like the tanginess, while some don't). The strong heat gets its leverage from the vinegar, as with most hot sauces, but its contrast best fits with dishes that includes ground meat. You can try this with pizza or omelets, however, it's hard to find a specific balance using this without eating it with tacos, burritos, nachos and the like. If anything, it also goes fine with burgers. We say so because of the tomatoes included in this sauce. (Go try it with any dishes you may feel this sauce fits.)

Looking at the back label—information written on the Profile Info below—this was distributed by Kraft Foods. Seems like Kraft has been doing a fantastic job listening to food fans and what they see may satisfy the stomachs of many. In fact, creating a bottled version of a sauce only found in packets at a fast food restaurant is a great idea. According to our website statistics, the other popular sauce happens to be the KFC Hot Sauce, as we'd like to see a bottled version of that. Nevertheless, this product turned out awesome.

It's only a matter of time that word gets out about this, if it hasn't already. Check this sauce out!
