Recreating red taco shop salsa from San Diego


Like the title says I’m trying to find out what is in this salsa and how to recreate a version of it. It is the red salsa commonly found in San Diego taco shops. The example found here is from El Ranchito taco shop in Poway. I grew up eating it all the time and have since moved away.

I am gathering this is something with chile arbol. Tomato base? Garlic and onion? Charred? Cooked salsa? Any direction from someone who knows this world is wonderfully appreciated.
