My wife is a big fan of Cholula.
I’m not a hot-sauce guy, though I do enjoy spicy foods. Mostly, I thank the Powers That Be on a regular basis for Tabasco soy sauce. Mmmmm.
I’m no fan of vinegar, and I tend to avoid hot sauces with too much vinegar taste, but I love Cholula.
I’m just a mass of contradictions. I also love cherry flavored food, but hate cherries.
So where can I get me some Pico Pica? Do they sell it in stores?
Sid…check your local Von’s. They carry Pico Pica here in SoCal. Look in the Mexican Foods aisle, next to the Ortega’s Taco Sauce. 
I’m a big fan of Tapatio, which seems to be quite popular with my town’s Mexican population as well. At least, it’s made available at every taco truck and almost every Mexican restaurant here. One of my Mexican friends gave me a bottle of Cholula, and I really like that, too. The Tapatio is quite a bit saltier than the Cholula I notice - 110mg/serving compared to 20mg/serving.
Cholula is very good - nice fruity flavor.
I am also a big fan of Melinda’s Habanero sauce, and Tiger Sauce (not strictly a hot sauce, more of a fruity/spicy meat sauce.)
Wondersauce.
I enjoy Walkerswood Hot Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce, very flavorful but with a real good kick. I also keep a bottle of Dave’s Insanity Sauce around to fix up the sauces that are not hot enough. A small bottle lasts me at least a year.
Sriracha is definitely good stuff. It’s essential for making spicy tuna rolls. I’m also partial to the basic red Tobasco on my omlette, but the smell drives my wife nuts so I have to refrain.
For hotter stuff, Dave’s Insanity is, well, insane, but tastes good. There’s also Pain is Good, which uses habaneros and carrots for an interesting flavor.
This is salsa rather than hot sauce, but Herdez makes a variety of good stuff, much better than Pace or Old El Paso.

Wow. I just love the name. I think they probably could’ve gotten in at least three more adjectives, though.
The Tobasco Chipotle sauce is my favorite, but this Frontera Grill chipotle hot sauce is running neck and neck with the Tobasco right now.
I will be shortly be buying some Tabasco Chipotle and Cholula upon the recommendations of this thread!
I am a huge fan of Yucateco Green - it is pretty much all I use. I go to
- that’s Mo Hotta, Mo Betta’s web site - and by it by the case.
All the ones you folks have mentioned are there - it is a great site.
One of the few things I liked about Rochester (NY) were the tiny eateries that served chicken with hot sauce – a unique hot sauce I haven’t found anywhere else.
Smitty’s (now gone), Country Sweet Chicken and Ribs, Sal’s Birdland. You can buy sauce from the latter two over the internet now, along with the similar “Boss Sauce”. (You used to be able to get Smitty’s sauce bottled, too.)
A weird sweet + hot sauce.
I’m a fan of good olde Franks Red Hot, it’s not all that hot, and pretty vinegary, but I like vinegar, so there! 
(puts Tabasco Chipotle on the shopping list)
My favorite is Cholula, hands down. I also like Crystal.

This stuff should be outlawed its so friggin hot. I can only use a half of a teaspoon or I’d be on the toliet for days. I put it on everything. Chilli, hotdogs, sandwiches, soups, etc… I will probably get an ulcer later in life as a result, but its soooo goood.
Currently in the house:
Tabasco reg (old standby…good with chili)
Tapatio (not crazy about it)
Mongolian Fire Oil (not too hot and has a funny aftertaste. Good on eggs, tho)
Frank’s Buffalo Wing sauce (yummy & vinagary. Great on all types of chicken)
El Yucateco red (mmmmm…hot)
Sriracha (my personal fave. Great on everything from brats to pizza to rice)
goes to kitchen, returns with stale Doritos and Sriracha
and I can hardly imagine mac & cheese without crushed red pepper flakes.
OT but has anyone tried the Shake&Bake buffalo wing mix? I was pretty impressed, even thought I had to fortify it with extra hot sauce (I’m used to doing that :))
Here’s another Old School vote for Tabasco, the pride of Avery Island, LA.
BTW, I would support a constitutional amendment that outlawed the manufacture, importation or sale of Texas Pete sauce. Criminy, that stuff sucks.
Here’s one I bet no one would have thought of.
I like the stuff they give you at Wendy’s to put in their chili.
What I like about it is that it has no flavor, only heat. It doesn’t change the taste of the chili, just makes it hotter.
A place I used to work at had a hot sauce bar in the cafeteria. Unfortunately, they switched me to a shift where my lunch was after the cafeteria closed so I would usually get a salad on my break to have for lunch.
But I remember a sauce called “Kiss me in the Dark” which I was fond of.
