I literally did not like this salsa even the slightest bit and that’s a first for me.

I realize many people would say I should not have expected much, but this salsa was terrible even considering the fairly low bar I set.

A hepatitis outbreak stemming from a Chi Chi’s location in western PA significantly contributed to the downfall of the restaurant chain in the US. My nostalgic self wants it just one more time.

Chi chi’s is legendary! It’s what J. Kenji Lopez-Alt calls a “hot plate” restaurant. The food isn’t that great, but it’s hard to resist when they walk a sizzling platter of fajitas past your table.

I love chi chi’s

That’s probably because it’s basically ketchup. They were the first jarred salsa I can remember, and I doubt they’ve changed the recipe since the ’70s.

I’m not that picky when it comes to store bought salsa because my expectations are low but even I found this one to be terrible.
It’s basically impossible to even sell “restaurant style” salsa because vinegar is required as a preservative so the taste will never be the same. Most restaurant salsas are roasted and have a finer consistency, this one is chunky which is weird. The mild/medium versions are somewhat better though.
I’ve been enjoying Mateo’s lately if you can find it. Luckily one of the walmarts near me has it.
