Just sampled 6 flavors from 3 brands recommended here. Not on food, just a small spoonful of each. Delidas, Bluebird jalapeno & habanero condiment, and a Char Man variety pack.
Delidas: Very good. Nice texture. Strong vinegar and chili right away. Just a touch of sweetness from the carrots, pretty much just right. 5/7 would bang again.
Bluebird jalapeno: Meh. Too sweet, more like ketchup or sriracha. Tossed it, least favorite in the bunch.
Bluebird habanero: Pretty good. Similar to Delidas with the assertive vinegar and chili front end, but sweeter.
Char Man original: Also pretty good. Similar to a Molcajete salsa in color and flavor profile. Borderline too sweet for my taste, but solid. Nice fruit note on the back end from the lemon.
Char Man Caribbean: Good with nice fruit flavors from the pineapple and mango, but too sweet for me.
Char Man green: Typically not a fan of green of green sauces so I'm not a good judge, but seemed like a good choice if that's your thing.
Will update in a few weeks after I try these on some food. Seems that the American made brands are catering to people who grew up smothering everything in ketchup, leading them to be on the sweeter side, which is why I am leaning toward Delidas for the time being.
