This is the best salsa on the face of the planet! Delicious, the right consistency. Mild or spicy. I have it on everything.

I too found three hairs in mine! I am VERY grossed out by hairs in my food, and these were disgusting! I had to dump out the salsa into another container to sift through it for other hairs. So, in total, there were four hairs in mine. The first I nearly choked on trying to spit it off the back of my tongue. BLAH! It's very triggering. WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER FOR THIS COMPANY?!?!?!? read more

I saw a few reviews that talked about finding hair in the salsa. I actually think it's plastic, which is still concerning. Will be returning this to my local Ralph's store. I thought it was just me, but when I google, this Yelp section along with google reviews showed up and I saw the same comments. read more

Best salsa available by far, much better than you could make on your own. Perfect consistency for a dip or tacos. No preservatives and you can taste how fresh the tomatoes, garlic, and peppers are. Healthy ingredients, no unwanted additions, and great taste. Buy multiple- doesn't last long on the table! read more

This is the best store bought salsa, ever! It's a perfect balance of cilantro and tomato, and even the mild has a little kick to it. I wish they distributed outside of San Diego. read more

La Salsa Chilena is hands down the best salsa I've tasted! Just like homemade! Company started out in O'side and is now in San Diego. This salsa does not have any preservatives! That is why it tastes so good! I buy a container every week! Just check the date before buying it to be sure it will last a week! Don't expect more for something that does not have the typical potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and propionic acid. read more

I buy this salsa every week at my local Von's - I've been doing that for years as it's our favorite salsa. In the last several months this keeps happening WAY before the expiration date. It's fizzy and you cannot eat it. Does anyone know what is going on? I want to give 5 stars because it's our favorite, but we have to be able to eat it! read more

I've only had the hot so far and it's incredible. I won't buy anything else . It taste so fresh and it definitely has a kick

Its a health safety concern. There is always more than one hair in salsa. Staff not wearing hair nets!!!!

La Salsa Chilena is, hands down, the closest thing to a homemade salsa that you can get! It has the freshest ingredients without all of the nasty preservatives that other businesses use to, "extend the flavor and freshness!" It definitely doesn't have the month long shelf life (or longer) because it is fresh product. If it did last for weeks I would really question what is being added to it? With so many of the different products adding ingredients that are proving to be dangerous, we should be celebrating this company for making such a true and wonderful product. Also, when I see the containers blown up in the pictures of the review, "Yes people, that's what happens when fresh, perishable product heats up!" I would question the store who was selling it, be certain you are keeping the salsa cold at all times, or confirm that you have a fair expiration date on your container. Don't blame the product. I am so thankful to have La Salsa Chilena available!!! Nothing comes close to it's fresh flavor. And all of the different levels of heat are perfect for my family! Thanks for being true to what you do- read more

Simply the best salsa! Garlicky and spicy, watch me tear up! Usually less than $4. @Ralphs. read more

WOULD YOU EAT THIS? For no particular reason I decided to try a different salsa. This at my local Ralphs. I chose the "hot" La Salsa Chilena garlic. I must say I was pleased with the taste and texture, and the "heat" was manageable. I would rate it nearly as high as the Costco brand, which I would rate as superior, among the best I've ever tasted. I subsequently bought several more 16 oz. tubs. The following day I noted that both containers had become bloated. This did not inspire confidence. I opened one container and some of the contents gushed out. I cleaned up and put it back in the 'fridge. I also noted that the unopened container had also swelled up, due likely to gases that were being created. The expiration date was "11/23 [23]" on both containers. (It is 11/16/23 as I compose this.) I've seen bloated cans due to botulism, and so am aware of the possible dangers associated with bloating. I immediately called La Salsa Chilena (numerous times) to alert them of the incident; to pass on lot numbers if necessary. I was never able to reach them, their phones lines seem non-functioning. This has by necessity forced me to utilize this site as a public warning; and I hope the issue is not related to slip-shod sanitary preparations on their end. read more

I loved the salsa very much so I purchased it again and as I was eating it last night, I found a chuck about the size of a quarter or larger and it looked like some sort of meat. I returned it to Albertson's today and received a refund. I will not be purchasing it again and have informed my family so they don't purchase it either. read more

Great texture, consistency, and flavor! My new favorite salsa. Picked it up at Von's on a recent trip to San Diego at the recommendation of a family member. Wish we could get it in the Midwest! read more

My absolute FAVORITE!!!! The salsa is my favorite...Is it available in San Bernardino?? Jensens market in Blue Jay, CA needs to carry this product !!! read more

I actually purchased on accident. Was looking for another one and thought it was this. Turns out I was wrong but so glad I was. It is so good and spicy so just a warning for some that don't like the heat. It's not for you. I definitely recommend this salsa over taking the time to make it from scratch. read more

Great salsa if you are on a low sodium diet. Only 7mg of salt while salsas have at least 120mg of salt. I prefer chunkier salsa, but the flavor is good. You can find it at Ralph's and Albertsons. read more

The mild salsa that I buy at my local Ralphs is my absolute favorite salsa! Very addictive. Yum.

This salsa is our family favorite. It taste so fresh and authentic. We squeeze just a tad more lime in it and it's perfect!! So glad we finally found our go to salsa. read more

Found two blond hairs. I am so grossed out. It used to be my favorite salsa. The owners should get it together.

I bought this brand a year ago and there were 1inch stubble like beard hairs in it , contacted the company no response......I bought some this weeks and again clear or gray 4 inch hairs, many of them, in the La Salsa Chilena with roasted garlic.........I won't be buying this again read more

The best salsa around. I've tried many salsas available commercially at the grocery stores and none hold a candle to the one from La salsa Chilena. Keep up the good work! read more

I have found hairs in the salsa more than once. I actually thought it might have been a random mistake and bought another one months later and it also had a hair. Then, I come on here and notice that other people have had the same experience with hairs in the salsa. So disgusting. I would give this -0 stars. read more

I'm simply addicted to their salsa. I always get the Hot from Ralphs--can't really find it anywhere else except at Crest Liquor in PB. I discovered this salsa a few months ago when I was in search of a snack food to bring to work. It's PERFECT and every salsa that I've tried since pales in comparison. The tomatoes are fresh, just enough onion, cilantro, generous helping of chopped garlic. It's also hot enough to where my mouth is in pain and gives me a slight hot flash--but not uncomfortably spicy. My coworkers laugh at me because I will gorge on it during our meetings and the smell fills the whole conference room. They also have a booth at the OB Farmers market that I always walked by and never realized was the same company. Very unassuming booth with no flashy signs. It's obvious that they let their salsa speak for itself. They girls at the booth encouraged me try their mango salsa and it was really tasty too. My favorite is still the hot though. I go through their container in less than 5 days and if I was on a deserted island, this would be the one food item I'd want to have with me. read more

First time trying this salsa today. I thought it was very good until I came across three blonde hairs in it. Very disappointed!

once again, if you go back to the original chip recipe i won't sue you for almost killing me with a rubber band in the most amazing container of salsa I've ever opened. you're so lucky i wasn't shoving it in my face or i would have actually choked on the thing. VERY NOT GOOD. -customer of 21yrs read more

Love this salsa, been buying it for a few years. But today was my second time finding an extremely long, curly black hair in my sealed salsa containers. I have a friend who has had the same experience as well. Unfortunately will not be buying this salsa any longer. read more

This is the best Salsa I have ever tasted! I go out of my way to buy it!

The best store bought salsa on the planet. No need for me to make my own anymore.

They get IT! Just delicious - adding the yellow peppers adds such flavor- fresh, spicy...just amazing! I cannot get enough!!!

I am so glad I found this salsa at the Ralph's at Huntington Beach on Warner. It is by far the best salsa ever. It's I'd fresh and the perfect blend of cilantro, lemon, tomato and chili flavor. I don't like the roasted garlic one as much but I think it's the mild/medium one that doesn't have roasted garlic and that's the one I make sure I get. I haven't tried the "hot" yet. I would highly recommend this salsa. read more

I am on a low sodium diet and had to stop buying salsa until I discovered La Salsa Chilena. Low sodium snack foods are hard to find. But like some others on this site I kept finding what appeared to be hairs while eating it. I tried to tell myself they were plant fibers of some kind but finally had to stop buying it. It seems strange that just about every container seemed to have one or more and maybe even more I didn't detect. Otherwise it has a good taste. read more

Yummy stuff. I was tired, I was hungry, and I didn't have the energy to toast up moritas to make my signature sauce. I don't normally cure my salsa deficit disorder wit money but La Salsa Chilena came to my rescue. Mmmmm read more

I discovered your salsa from a customer who was telling the checker how good it was, so decided to try it. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY. I have been eating it for almost a year now. A couple of months ago I bought some and it was soapy tasting but realized it was the cilantro. Have you changed your recipe? It isn't the same lately as it was before. I keep buying it hoping you will change it back to it's orginal flavor. I tried calling your phone but it only rang and no one picked it up Jeanne B read more

The taste is good, but there is no longer a PROTECTIVE MEMBRANE over the Salza, or way of sealing it, just the lid. I will not buy it again, as it does not seem sanitary or safe, read more

I wanted to mention that if you check out some of the farmer's markets, specifically the OB one on Wednesdays, you can get their Habaneros version, which is not sold in the stores as of this writing. Just as tasty, with a bit more kick! read more

best salsa ever! i love the chunks of garlic it's so good. i kept buying grocery store salsas and i was always disappointed. i found this one and i'm so happy. i was very sad, however, on superbowl it was sold out. i even asked them to check in the back. thank you vons for carrying this! they have mild and hot. i buy both! sometimes you want hot, and sometimes you want mild. i highly recommend this salsa to everyone! read more

Absolutely amazing salsa! Its the only salsa we eat in our house. My mom is on a low sodium diet because of Minears disease and finding anything good that she could actually eat was impossible! That low sodium label is what drew her to try it, but as soon as everyone else got into the container, it was gone in less than a half an hour! I have told everyone I know about how great it is! The flavor combination is fantastic. Absolutely phenomenal! Don't change anything you are doing because this is by far the best salsa anyone I know has ever tried I have three containers in my refrigerator. We eat it that fast... :) I would LOVE to try your mango salsa that I keep hearing about!!! read more
