Rojo is available up here and it is good. I also prefer to make my own when time allows. rushlan

Wow, what I really miss about Texas is the salsa! I can actually tolerate the Mexican food here in Bellevue, except for the salsa. Pace Picante is my favorite jar salsa. I will have to check out the Ballard farmers' market. Is it open every Saturday? I love Pike Place and will go there in May, for sure.
Maybe we could operate a real Mexican food restaurant here and make some $$$?? I'm not the best at cooking it, but I am a champ at eating it! If you can make it, I can critique it!

that sounds like an idea! The Seattle area could use some good Mexican food. rushlan
Ah Texas. When we lived there I worked with a lady named Peggy and she used to make salsa by the gallons .... everybody begging her for some. It was sooooo good. mz chris

I like cilantro in salsa too, rushlan. I usually buy the fresh (mild) salsa our supermarket makes. After eating fresh the stuff in the jar isn't so appealing to me anymore. I've made my own salsa a couple of times but it never turns out as good as the store made.

I agree, the salsa from a jar is not very appealing. The stuff I buy at the grocery is in the refrigerated section. rushlan

Homemade salsa is always great, but I don't have time to make it myself. When I visit the U.S. I always buy jars of Chi Chi's salsa. IMO it's the best store bought salsa. When I run out and I am home, I buy the Tostitos brand. It's good too. I always buy medium or hot depending on the brand.

My favorite store bought salsa is called Baja. But I think home-made is always best. rushlan
I agree about the Chi Chi's salsa...that is my favorite. [smartin]

I love salsa! There's a chain around here called "Margaritas." I'm sure they have them in other states too. But their salsa is very yummy. They also have some kind of dish that I always get, that has like a salsa in there, but with a hint of garlic. Mmmmmm! I loooooooove garlic. The name of the dish is Skillet Baked Enchilladas (now I have to go there sometime soon!)

this salsa has lots of garlic too. We has a chain called Las Margaritas here, but it is really not very good in my opinion. I don't actually have a favorite Mexican restaurant in Seattle. When I want good Mexican food I make it from scratch. rushlan
No, I don't think Las Margaritas is the same chain. Especially if they're not that good. Margaritas is YUMMY!! And I LOVE salsa w/ garlic! I'm a garlic freak.........DebS
