"When it comes to sweetness and hotness, Gringo Bandito doesn't keep 'em separated!"
- Joe Donatelli
"Dexter Holland's hot sauce is, indeed, pretty fly for a white guy."
- Javier Cabral
"These sauces would make a great gift for anyone who is a fan of The Offspring or spicy food. So grab a bottle and get ready for a serious party in your mouth. Give it to me baby!"
- Pepper Geek
"You know who makes great hot sauce? Gringo Bandito... It's f**king great, man! It's really good. Real tasty - it's got a real kick to it."
- Joe Rogan
"(Dexter Holland) is now slinging bottles of capsaicin-laden taco topping imprinted with his own lilywhite mug dressed up like Pancho Villa on the label. Is that irony? Perhaps intentionally so."
"Many reviewers also say this set of four makes a perfect gift. “I bought this set as a gift for friends who love hot sauce,” explains one... "The variety of flavors and hotness are a great way to try multiple tastes.""
- The Strategist Editors
"The brand has gained popularity in part due to its relatively low salt content (70% less than leading hot sauce brands), lack of preservatives and its paleo and gluten-free ingredients."
- Christina Troitino
"The combination of scorpion and jolokia (or ghost) peppers in the Super Hot sauce sure zings. But again, flavor comes first."
- Brett Callwood
"Californians certainly love their hot sauce; add a distinctly Californian flavor to your tacos or burritos with the ever-so peppery Gringo Bandito hot sauce."
- Jessie Yount
A Word from Dexter
Founder, lead vocalist of The Offspring, and hot sauce enthusiast.
I hope you enjoy the adventurous flavor and tingling tantalization of my not-so-famous pepper sauce. For several years I have searched far and wide for the perfect combination of spices to make your next dining experience a zinger. And I tried to make it easy on the pooper, too. Try it on tacos, burritos, eggs, pizza - it's like a party in your mouth.
- Dexter Holland
