Stay spicy: salsa and hot sauce made in Austin

Get out your grocery list, because we’re dishing out salsas and hot sauces that are founded in Austin and available at a grocery store near you.

Three jars of "El Patio Legendary Salsa" displayed on a supermarket shelf. The jars are lined up side by side and labeled as "Medium," "Hot," and "Habanero" flavors, respectively. Each jar has a distinctive label featuring the El Patio brand name, with a sombrero design above the text. The price for each jar is marked as $4.48. The jars are placed on a shelf, with other salsa products partially visible on the left and right.

Step into our office — er, the salsa aisle at H-E-B.
