They opened up a ‘La Granja’ near where I work, and they have this awesome hot sauce on the tables (unlabeled of course). It’s kind of creamy and/or maybe buttery. It’s so good it must be worst thing for my health ever. Anybody know what this is, and if it or something like it can be bought at supermarkets or online? ---

From a local review ([http://www.miami.com/la-granja-parrilla-seafood-davie)](http://www.miami.com/la-granja-parrilla-seafood-davie) \*“What elevates them are unexpected touches like four kinds of squeeze-bottle sauces, including creamy garlic and huacatay (laced with an anise-scented herb called black marigold), and a salad bar of onion salsas (best are the creamy pale yellow huancaina with ají amarillo and the zingy hot rocoto chile).” \* I like the yellow"salsa" myself, tossed in with the rice & beans. FYI, La Granja is still local to South & Central Florida (outside of the original in Aruba). Will be curious to see how big it gets - can’t beat good cheap food, & everytime I look, it seems another three locations have opened up. ---

Thanks **Mixolydian** , but it looks like that’s just the green sauce being described. I too am curious if this will get big. The Granja near me is very busy, at least at lunch, but this is a heavily hispanic area (even for South Florida). ---

I would just ask someone the next time you’re there, or email them from their website. You’re not asking for the recipe (well, from them, anyway), just the name of the sauce.
