Ta[atio Hotsauce
Tapatío is a hot sauce, produced in Vernon, California, that can be found at many grocery stores in the United States. It rates 3,000 on the scale of Scoville units.[1 ]

"Tapatío" is the name given to people from Guadalajara, Jalisco: the company's founders come from Guadalajara. It is exported to Mexico, Canada, Central America and a few countries in Europe.

The ingredients, as listed on the product label, are: water, red peppers, salt, spices, garlic, acetic acid, xanthan gum and sodium benzoate as a preservative. Tapatío comes in four sizes: 5, 10, and 32 fl oz., and 1 gallon (148, 296, 946 ml and 3.785 liters), as well as in 7 gram packets.

The product slogan is "Es una salsa ... Muy salsa" (roughly, "It's a very saucy sauce!")

In 2011, Frito Lay released a line of Tapatío flavored Doritos,[2 ] Ruffles,[3 ] and Fritos[4 ] in the United States.[5 ]
