(3 pack) CHI-CHI'S Restaurant Style Salsa, Gluten Free, Chip Dip, Mild, 16 oz Glass Jar

ChiChi's mild salsa is just right for me. I enjoy the texture , the flavor and I am grateful that the ingredients in this jar, do not include Cilantro. We ALWAYS have to check the ingredients because I am “one of those “ that cannot eat Cilantro; because it tastes awful, it tastes like plastic to me.. it is not enjoyable to eat at all. For Our Nachos we use ChiChi's . My dad introduced me to ChiChi's . He rarely ate anything that was not made from scratch, but he did like ChiChi's. As do I.

Love salsa with chips sometimes I over do it because it's so good. Hope you'll love it as much as I do.Makes a great night time snack because I love crunchy snacks. You'll find it hard to resist once you try it. Sometimes I add salsa to my spaghetti sauce to kick it up a notch . Try it you'll be surprised!

4 BRAND TASTE TEST:First, I considered salty/sweet/tomato/herb flavor. Second, I considered heat level. Third, I tried each salsa alone, on restaurant style chips, %26 taquitos. Last, I compared ingredients. 2nd PLACE Chi-Chi's Restaurant Style Mild Salsa-very chunky sauce w/more sweet than salty flavor. By the bottom of the jar, might have only chunks left, but you could always use blender. Tomato taste comes through w/o stand-out herbal hints or vinegar flavor. I particularly tasted for vinegar because I read other reviews before my purchase that reported the recipe tasted more of vinegar than in the past %26 some comments that it was a strong vinegar flavor. Not for me. I really like it. It has a mild kick. LAST PLACE Texas Texas Roasted Restaurant Style Mild Salsa- Roasted peppers and garlic have a deeper flavor. Here, roasted serranos, a medium-heat pepper significantly hotter than jalapenos. First jar in my taste test %26 immediate rejection for me. Instantly hot, with herb flavor more like Italian marinara. Tomato flavor is yes, no to sweetness, yes to herbs, no stand-out vinegar taste. Me, no likey. 1st PLACE Smash Kitchen Organic Restaurant Style Mild Salsa- barely-chunky sauce w/more sweet than salty flavor. Tomato taste comes through w/o stand-out herbal hints or vinegar flavor. A true mild heat. I think more sensitive people would be able to tolerate it. I loved it immediately because I'm not a fan of chunks, I like a sweeter sauce, %26 don't care if it's mild. 3rd PLACE-Herdez Salsa Casera Mild Salsa- Chunky sauce w/more salty than sweet flavor The tomato taste comes through w/o any stand-out herbal hints or sour vinegar flavor. Though it says mild, it still has a strong kick. I liked the flavor immediately and appreciated the heat. Ingredient comparison: None of the salsas have added sugar. Herdez has added salt (less than 2%) %26 the only one in which a salty flavor was stronger than sweet. It also has the most additives as opposed to pure food ingredients. Chi-Chi's also has less than 2% added salt %26 lots of additives, but the only brand w/o cilantro. Texas Texas has the best pure food-only ingredient list. It also has apple cider vinegar (which I hate). Cilantro is much higher on the list, which means the recipe has more than the other brands. All these things might contribute to that marinara flavor. Finally, the organic brand Smash Kitchen. I'd say it's 2nd place in exclusion of non-pure food ingredients. Finally, the organic brand Smash Kitchen. I'd say it's 2nd place in exclusion of non-pure food ingredients. It has citric acid, which isn't in Texas Texas, which rely solely on food for flavor. However, Smash Kitchen comes into doubt because of their last ingredient, listed as organic, but it's a mystery, “natural flavor.” If it's natural, why isn't it listed as a food? Sand is natural, but I don't want it in my food.

This has become my favorite go to brand because ever since i developed a medical condition,either the condition or the meds i have to take for it have made my taste buds extremely sensitive to the slightest things and now sometimes its become difficult to even tolerate some of the other mild brands,however i've never had a hard time tolerating any of the Chi Chi's mild options and i love the test,so I'm sticking with this brand.

This is my go to salsa. I don't like spicy salsa that feels like your mouth is on fire after you eat it. I always get the mild. It goes perfectly with my tortilla chips. It makes a great snack. I like the chunky texture.

It is also one of the only sauce That I can eat because I am on a low sodium diet actually, it's a no sodium diet, and this one has the least amount of sodium in it and all of the picante sauces that I looked at and researched

it has a really good flavor to it but I did not realize it was going to be so chunky I was under the impression that restaurant style salsas were more of a smooth pureed type at least they are at the restaurants by me this had a super good flavor just super chunky and they already have a chunky version so I thought this one would be a little bit different but my husband absolutely loved it

Did they change the recipe or did I get a bad batch? I don't know but this was not good at all. All I could taste was vinegar, and I mean an overpowering taste of vinegar. Does not even taste like salsa. I use to like this salsa but I definitely will not be ordering again after this experience

Oh my goodness, this is definitely NOT restaurant style anything. I thought it was a bad jar, but its not. It just tastes bad. It's bad tasting salsa. I don't know how to describe ...it's like eating food prepared by a really bad cook with no taste buds. Strange salsa taste. NOPE! Will never purchase again.

So supprised at how ChiChis taste since I've been to there restaurant. The restaurant version was better. Why did they put it in stores? Not worth the money . Sorry
