Growing up in central Illinois, there was not a whole lot of salsas to choose from. In fact it wasn't until my freshman year in high school that I even had Taco Bell... but as soon as I has my first taste of chips and salsa, I was hooked. Immediately I was asking for the hottest food, whether it be the local Mexican restaurant or BBQ shack.

When I was an adult, I moved to El Paso, Texas and really started tasting great Mexican food and salsas. These salsas were unavailable to most of the United States and I wanted to get them out to the rest of the world. Even now, as I make my home in Phoenix, I get to taste a lot of salsas that only are available in the Southwest in specialty stores or at local festivals... I created this site so that salsa lovers everywhere could taste these awesome, incredible salsas.

If you have a favorite salsa that is not available everywhere, please let me know! I want all small salsa creators to be able to sell their passion nationwide... we are here to promote the "microsalsa" creators everywhere!

Thanks for visiting, and as always, enjoy the salsa!
