Now here’s a mantra I can stand behind:

“Nothin’ but honest to goodness honest to goodnessness. That’s why Native Texan Brand Salsa is made with only the best of what Texas has to offer.”

Because of my affinity for local products, this salsa screamed at me from the shelf. I checked the consistency, because my favorite kind of salsa is the runny one. The kind of salsa that doesn’t even attempt to cling on to your chip. Check!

I grabbed the Fire Roasted jar, being in the mood for something smoky, a bag of Xochitl chips (thank goodness they had them) and went on my merry little way forgetting to even look at the other flavor profiles they had on the shelf.

Overall, it’s definitely one of the better salsas I’ve had in awhile. The consistency was perfect: not too runny and had just enough clumps of ingredients to dig up. The spice bite was just right and the smokiness wasn’t overbearing.

Once I run out, I’ll probably be driving back to pick up another jar.
