It is basically pure habenero heat. Very very hot. There aren't other flavors that stand out to me other than a very mild almost un noticeable vinegar flavor. It is not sweet at all. The habenero pepper is basically on display with not much else. It is kind of thick and a substantial amount will stick on the taco without being runny and falling off. It is in a salsa bar in a very hole in the wall taco shop. Thre place is a serious hidden gem. I have gone a time or 2 and the order taker doesnt speak English so we have to use google translate or my limited spanosh to order. I have asked the cook, as he sometimes comes out to tale orders but he just said habenero, im afraid to ask the resturant recipe although he speaks English, would that be out of line?
I have tried several different habenero salsa recipes. Always ending up with flavors like carrot or pineapple or anything else that is not what this stuff is. It is just heat. From habenero. Any ideas on a recipe like that?
