This is from a salsa bar at local spot. It’s creamy and real spicy. It thickens up in my fridge after a day or so. Took it to a Mexican chef and they said it def had garlic and some chili but can’t figure out the bass. They said it’s special and wasn’t something they’ve ever had. The wait staff don’t know what it is either lol.

How is anyone supposed to guess what’s in it based on an image? We can’t taste it.
My professional guess here: Love
If I had to guess? A red Chile and oil emulsion salsa.
Search YouTube for “Rick Bayless 6 ingredient salsa” and you’ll see the basic process using green jalapenos.
Its probably a salsa taquera version like this https://youtu.be/C6OP8osemQA?si=GV3oXbgyIdq48ZNh fried tomatoes onion garlic chile de arbol and emulsified with oil
That looks like Habanero peppers, Chile de Arbol, garlic and maybe like 1 Roma tomato. And oil poured in when blending. May even be watered down to render more like most taquerias do.
Looks similar to Herdez Salsa Cremosa
Local tacos place has something that looks like that. They call it San Jose sauce. Creamy and smokey, I’m not sure how to describe it.
Looks like arbol chiles with sesame salsa.
If it thickens after a few days, that could be some peanut oil in addition to whatever dairy they’re using.
I would just call the place or go back and ask. My mom has gotten boat loads of recipes from restaurants just from asking.
If it’s a premade thing, she’s even had a couple people bring out the package and let her take a picture of the ingredients.
Some instances have been an “I’m on vacation so this might be the only time I visit” kind of thing that has helped, but it’s been very very rare she’s been refused even somewhere local
Looks like “Salsa de Cacahuate” or peanut salsa.
Looks like motor oil mixed with coolant.
Why do so many people in this sub in particular struggle with taking pictures with the subject in focus?
I’d say peanuts and chile de árbol
Main ingredients
Cheese and butter with some spices.
Looks like the orange sauce at taco bamba
Looks like salsa de peanuts !
It’s soooo delicious.
Does it taste nutty like peanuts and sesame but spicy and garlicky ? I’ve had it before and it’s so good. Not many places make it but damn it’s good!
Siracha mayo?
It does look similar to a peanut or pecan salsa I’ve seen before.
I know what this is! It’s chimichurri mexicano, it’s very typical in the Bajio area. [It’s like an aioli but with chile de arbol.](https://youtu.be/jt3MpAYUfM0?si=svZUTmmFN-3MBMbU)
There’s probably peanuts (or some type of nuts) in there.
Looks like a local Indian hot sauce. Maybe a tahini base?
It looks like a salsa I make! It’s a creamy salsa with arbol chillies. Someone else commented and linked a recipe from Claudia on YouTube….it’s actually similar to the recipe I use. The recipe I use calls for raw tomatillos (not tomatoes) garlic, arbol chillies, oil, and salt. Its one of my favorite salsas. If your interested I can link the recipe.
Sauce
Looks like salsa to me, dog
Ingredients.
Hundred percent if they’re not telling you it has Oaxaca cheese
Chipotle crema
Looks like San Jose orange sauce.
Looks a lot like this orange sauce: https://cocoaandsalt.com/2018/03/10/la-victoria-orange-sauce/
It looks like cheddar cheese sauce.
This must be a chimichurri from the Bajío of Mexico (a Area around Guanajuato – Mexico), is like mayo with tons of garlic and chile de árbol. You could find some recipes by this name.
I’m just trying to get over you using the word bass instead of base. 🤯
Chili con queso?
